Scottie Scheffler entered the 2024 U.S. Open playing at a consistently great level the golf world hasn’t seen since Tiger Woods in the early 2000s. Since his first win of the season at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March, Scheffler has since earned four more wins, including a walk-away victory at the Masters.  That earns him the shortest pre-tournament odds heading into the year’s third major championship that we’ve seen in over two decades.

Our college baseball experts tell us what they’re most excited to see in Omaha this year.

The Edmonton Oilers are on the proverbial ropes, but head coach Kris Knoblauch likes some of what he has seen from his team and told the press after their 4-3 home loss in Game 3 that they’ve shown that they can beat the Florida Panthers.
I get the sentiment, but the Oilers are 0-5 this season against the Panthers.
Soooooo… there’s that…
Knoblauch was asked after the game if he’ll be more “psychologist than coach over the next 48 hours” as the Oilers fight to extend the series Saturday night in Edmonton.

This could very well be the season where Detroit’s ace puts it all together for a gem of a season.
The past 10 seasons for the Detroit Tigers has been a bit of a journey in the wilderness. The 2014 season ended up being the end of an era for the Tigers, as their four-year run of playoff appearances from 2011 through 2014 ended with two ALCS appearances and an American League Pennant victory in 2012.

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is in danger of missing the cut at the U.S. Open, a shocking development that many did not expect.
Scottie Scheffler did not look like the best player in the world on Friday at the U.S. Open.
Far from it, actually.
He did not make a single birdie during his second round at Pinehurst No. 2, the first time he failed to do so all season. But his inability to make birdie putts did not disparage his chances of making the cut.

With one month down and between 11-14 games into each team’s schedule, Yahoo Sports checks in to see how the award races are shaping up.

From the players who have the most work to do to how Pinehurst No. 2 will play the rest of the tournament, here are the storylines to watch heading into the second round of the U.S. Open.

Only 15 players shot under-par rounds Thursday, showing the course’s difficulty. Here are Friday’s highlights.

Stephen A. Smith seems to think race is a huge motivator for why people like Caitlin Clark.
The Indiana Fever rookie sensation is, once again, in the news because of people criticizing her meteoric rise, and people continue to try to allege she somehow benefits more than black women because she’s white.
Clark was asked Thursday about the outrage surrounding her, and declined to really say much other than she’s not big on social media.

Taylor Swift likes Mecole Hardman more than just about any other Chiefs fan
The Kansas City Chiefs unveiled their latest Super Bowl rings on Thursday, with everyone and their grandmother there.
Except for Taylor Swift, the noted football junkie and girlfriend of Chiefs TE Travis Kelce Swift was on tour in England, but burned the midnight oil to hop on Instagram live to help the team celebrate their new rings.
