INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Two-time U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau once hit a golf ball 221 mph with his driver. Exactly as fast as some of the drivers will be going in the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday. “It would be really cool,” DeChambeau mused Saturday, sitting on a perch that overlooks the front stretch at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, “to hit a ball down the straightaway, see if you could land it in a car going by you.” Sounds like an interesting challenge. Then again, DeChambeau is all about the challenges these days. Sure, the majority of golf fans know of his highly publicized exodus to the LIV tour and his tremendous success in the majors, including the U.S. Open, where he will be the defending champion at Oakmont in a few weeks. But millions of mainstream sports fans, especially in younger demographics, know him just as well — perhaps even better — from his YouTube channel, which boasts nearly 2 million followers.  » Read More

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Ben Griffin could be on the verge of a breakthrough season on the PGA Tour. It’s more like a possible comeback for Rickie Fowler. Griffin shot a 7-under 63 in the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial on Friday and was tied with Matti Schmid for the second-round lead at 11 under, two strokes ahead of first-round leader John Pak and five ahead of Fowler, who made the turn in 29 before settling for a 64. Pak, the tour rookie who opened with a 63, birdied the par-4 18th for a 68 and was a shot ahead of Chris Gotterup, a one-time tour winner like Griffin. Gotterup was 8 under after a 65. Ryo Hisatsune, a 22-year-old from Japan, was another stroke back after a 67, tied with Akshay Bhatia (66). Scottie Scheffler, who won the PGA Championship last weekend, shot 71 and was 10 shots off the lead as the world No. 1 tries to become the first player since Dustin Johnson in 2017 to win three consecutive starts.  » Read More

BETHESDA, Md. (AP) — Ernie Els looks ready to contend for a different type of major championship at Congressional. Back at the course where he won the U.S. Open in 1997, Els shot a 3-under 69 on Thursday to finish two strokes off the lead after the first round of the Senior PGA Championship. Els is one of a trio of South Africans near the top, along with Keith Horne and Darren Fichardt. Cameron Percy of Australia shot 67 to take sole possession of the lead, one stroke ahead of Horne. Fichardt and Els were tied for third, along with Simon Khan and Mario Tiziani. It’s the second straight major for the seniors after Angel Cabrera’s victory Monday in the delayed Regions Tradition. “This one feels more like a major,” Els said. “Last week they called it a major, but it’s just a nice big Champions Tour event. But this one has got more of that feel. It’s got a golf course with history, and it’s got some prestige here.” Players dealt with wet conditions on a rainy day,  » Read More

The LPGA has selected Craig Kessler as its next commissioner, turning to the PGA of America’s chief operating officer to help the 75-year-old league better capitalize on the growth in women’s sports. Kessler, 39, is the 10th commissioner in LPGA history, replacing Mollie Marcoux Samaan, who stepped away after three-and-a-half years in January. He formally takes over on July 15. “I don’t think this is one of those opportunities where we start with 100 days of listening. It’s time to explode out of the gates,” Kessler said. He said the main goal could be to create a culture where anyone looking at the LPGA would say, “I have to be part of that.” Kessler, a Georgetown graduate with an MBA from Harvard Business School, had been with the PGA of America for just over two years and was a candidate to become the CEO until the organization wanted a golf professional in the role and hired Derek Sprague. “We set out to find a transformational leader with a deep appreciation for the LPGA’s legacy and a clear vision of what’s possible for our future,” said John Veihmeyer,  » Read More

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Scottie Scheffler is skipping some of his usual prep work for the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial after winning the PGA Championship last weekend. The world No. 1 doesn’t want an emphasis on rest and recovery to be misunderstood. “I didn’t just show up here to Fort Worth to just walk around and celebrate last week,” Scheffler said Wednesday. “I’m here for a reason, and that’s not to just play a couple of ceremonious rounds and then ride off in the sunset. I’m here for a reason. That’s to compete.” Scheffler’s third major also set him up to be the first player since Dustin Johnson in 2017 to win three consecutive PGA Tour starts. He won his hometown CJ Cup Byron Nelson north of Dallas two weeks before the PGA, then skipped the $20 million signature event at the Truist Championship before winning at Quail Hollow. Colonial isn’t quite on the level of the Nelson for Scheffler, who attended that event for years as a kid and made his pro debut there 11 years ago.  » Read More

Boston won 2-0 after six relievers combined to complete the shutout. BOSTON — Red Sox pitcher Walker Buehler was ejected in the third inning against the New York Mets on Tuesday night and manager Alex Cora followed him to the clubhouse after heated arguments with umpire Mike Estabrook. Buehler and Estabrook exchanged words after Francisco Lindor, who was hit by a pitch, stole second on a pitch Estabrook called a ball, pushing the count on Juan Soto to 2-0. The right-hander's response drew Estabrook from behind the plate, where he took off his mask and held up his hand and indicated Buehler had said enough. Buehler continued and quickly got tossed. “I’m not going to talk about what he did or didn’t do. I don’t think it’s my place,” Buehler said after the game, which the Red Sox won 2-0 after six relievers combined to complete the shutout. “For me, it kind of spiraled a little bit and I said some things that he thought I shouldn’t have said and whatnot.  » Read More

OSCODA – Upon the destruction of the clubhouse at Lakewood Shores Golf Resort, which was consumed by flames in the early morning hours of May 7, ensuing investigations have been carried out by such agencies as the Oscoda Township Fire Department (OTFD) and the Michigan State Police (MSP) Fire Investigation Unit. As reported in last week’s edition of this publication, the OTFD and multiple other departments responded to a structure fire at the resort, which is located at 7751 Cedar Lake Rd. in Oscoda Township. Although the clubhouse was considered a total loss, no first responders or civilians were injured, nor were any other structures impacted. Additional information has since been provided but, as of press time, a cause had yet to be announced. Should more details become available as things continue to develop, updates will be provided in a future edition. As far as what is known at this point, the fire required significant efforts by the OTFD – in not only responding to the large blaze to begin with, but also via subsequent investigations and addressing rekindles,  » Read More
