The Los Angeles County medical examiner released its findings into Sean Burroughs’ death this week, saying the former major leaguer died of fentanyl intoxication and ruling it as an accident.

In his first event since suffering a brutal loss at the U.S. Open, Rory McIlroy opened the Scottish Open with a masterful round.
