Team USA wins their World Cup opener against Paraguay and expectations have never been higher. It's a tough look for the Phil Mickelson fans of the world after he's booted from his home club amid allegations of "inappropriate touching”. Bud Cauley wins the RBC Canadian open for his first ever victory on tour. The US Open returns to Shinnecock, where Brooks Koepka won in 2018 and where Zach Johnson claimed the USGA “lost the course”.#WorldCup #USOpen

Fresh off a week at the Canadian Open, Brenden Escott is joined by Sportsnet's Adam Stanley to recap everything from TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley — from the atmosphere on the grounds to how the course performed in its debut as a PGA Tour host venue. Despite a field packed with some of the biggest names in golf, it was Bud Cauley who emerged victorious. We discuss what made his breakthrough win so impressive and what stood out most from one of Canada's premier sporting events. Then it's all eyes on the U.S. Open as golf's toughest major heads to Shinnecock Hills. We break down what makes the historic venue such a demanding test, the type of player built to succeed there, and why patience could be just as important as power and precision this week. Can Scottie Scheffler complete the career Grand Slam? We examine his chances and the strengths in his game that make him a legitimate threat to add another major championship to his résumé. We also dive into one of the U.S. Open's most fascinating trends: the emergence of first-time major champions. Could another player join that list this year? We identify the young contenders best equipped to handle the pressure of golf's biggest stage and discuss what it truly takes to win a first major. From a Canadian perspective, we look at Suradshan Yellamaraju's impressive recent form and whether he represents Canada's best chance for a breakthrough performance this week. Plus, we highlight the other Canadians worth watching as they take on one of golf's toughest challenges. And to wrap things up, we put our reputations on the line with a few bold predictions — including potential dark horses, surprise contenders, and a notable name who could be heading home early.

My Father’s Day isn’t complete until I plop down after lunch on Sunday to watch the final 18 holes of the US Open golf tournament. My wife and sons became quite familiar with my annual Father’s Day afternoon ritual. I have to grind the final five hours of this golf tournament (on television, of course) until a winner is crowned. In the event of a tie, a two-hole playoff will be held immediately following the final round. Prior to 2018, there was an 18-hole playoff conducted on Monday. The US Open is usually played on the toughest golf course which the professional golfers face all year. The last ten US Open champions have posted an average winning total of just six under par. This year’s US Open returns to a windswept tract near the eastern tip of New York’s Long Island. Shinnecock Hills was founded in 1891 and is one of the oldest golf courses in the United States. They were also one of the first American golf clubs to admit women members from its inception. This will be the fifth US Open conducted at Shinnecock Hills since 1986. Ray Floyd won that one with a one under par total. Corey Pavin won in 1995 (even par). Retief Goosen took the 2004 event at Shinnecock Hills with a four under par score. The most recent US Open held at this course was in 2018 and captured by Brooks Koepka with a one over par score. In other words, this fascinating US seaside links has a long history of playing tough for professional golfers. Watch for these holes to cause the golfers significant trouble this week Hole #7 (Rodan) – Listed at 185 yards, the par-3 7th hole at Shinnecock is a devilish short hole. The winds play havoc with shot selection off the tee. The green features a unique rodan design. That means that the green slopes away from the front portion and toward the back left side. A bad tee shot is quite likely to result in a bogey or worse here. Hole #9 (Ben Nevis) – Ben Nevis is the name of the highest peak (4,400′) in Scotland. The final par-4 on Shinnecock’s opening nine holes involves golfers playing their second shot uphill by some 20 yards against a prevailing wind into an elevated green. Once on the putting surface, some players will face a downhill putt with the wind now pushing their golf ball even faster to make par an exceptional score. Hole #11 (Hill Head) – You wouldn’t think that a short 150 yard par-3 hole would cause many of the top golfers in the world to get jittery standing on the tee box. Missing this elevated green (which looks like inverted bowl from the tee) quickly brings a bogey or double bogey into play. There are four deep sand traps surrounding the 11th hole. Add a gusty wind on the tee, and this short par-3 can wreck someone’s round in a hurry. Hole #14 (Thom’s Elbow) – This difficult par-4 plays a lengthy 520 yards and moves uphill on your second shot into the green. Don’t forget the ever-changing 15-25 mph winds which will affect both your tee shot and approach into the green. The hole was named for Shinnecock’s 55-year Scottish head golf pro named Charlie Thom. Two-time Masters champion Ben Crenshaw once asked Mr. Thom why the 14th hole was named after him. Thom replied, “Look at my elbow. It’s crooked. They named the 14th hole after me, because it’s crooked like my elbow. It goes back up the hill.” Which golfers are “hot” coming into the US Open? Let’s cover a few golfers who are playing well right now. Wyndham Clark – He won the US Open in 2023. Clark then went into a lengthy slump but has returned to form recently with a win at the Byron Nelson tournament in Dallas. He also posted a third place finish at the Memorial Tournament in Ohio a few weeks ago along with an 11th place finish last week at the Canadian Open. When you’re hot, you’re hot! Russell Henley – The quiet Henley won the Colonial in Fort Worth a month ago. He followed it up with a 22nd place finish at the Memorial. Henley has a tendency to play well on difficult courses. Shinnecock Hills will provide a great test of his skills this week. Matt Fitzpatrick – The winner of two events this spring on the PGA Tour, Fitzpatrick shot a closing 66 and 64 in the final two rounds of last week’s Canadian Open to finish in second place. Did you remember that this English golfer won the 2022 US Open title? His game is peaking at the right time this year for a possible second major championship win. Cameron Young – A product of nearby Scarborough, New York, Cameron Young is another two-time winner on this year’s PGA Tour. Young is going to have a boisterous crowd of New York area fans rooting for him all weekend. Now for a few top golfers who haven’t sizzled recently but may contend this week Scottie Scheffler – The world #1-ranked golfer has failed to score a victory since late January. That doesn’t mean that he’s playing poorly, though. Scheffler’s last five tournaments have produced two runner-up finishes, a third place, 12th place, and 14th. Scottie Scheffler could complete his personal career “Grand Slam” with a win at this week’s US Open. He’ll be ready. Jon Rahm – LIV Golf’s top player in 2026, Rahm won the 2021 US Open title on another tough layout at Torrey Pines in San Diego. Spain’s Jon Rahm, like Scottie Scheffler, has a way of pushing his way to the top of the leaderboard in major championships. He broke an 18 month slump with two wins on the LIV Golf tour this spring. JJ Spaun – The defending US Open champion finished sixth and 12th in his two most recent golf tournaments. Spaun’s focus and gritty style is reminiscent of another past US Open winner at Shinnecock Hills. Corey Pavin captured the 1995 US Open on this same golf course with a memorable four wood second shot from the 18th fairway to seal the victory. Tommy Fleetwood – After finally breaking through in 2025 with a win at the Tour Championship, Fleetwood’s sights are now set on winning his first major golf title. The Englishman is quite familiar with seaside links after beginning his professional golf career on the European circuit. Fleetwood is overdue for his first major championship triumph. Don’t overlook these former US Open winners this week! Rory McIlroy – Rory’s first major title was a US Open. He won the 2011 US Open at Congressional near Washington, DC by a whopping eight shots. The deep rough at Shinnecock Hills will punish Rory if his recent issues with errant drives continue. Bryson DeChambeau – Inconsistency has been the only consistent portion of Bryson DeChambeau’s game this season. The two-time US Open champion (2020 and 2024) missed the cut at both The Masters and PGA Championship this year. However, he won twice in March on the LIV Golf Tour. DeChambeau, like McIlroy, must hit more fairways off the tee this week at Shinnecock Hills to get into contention. Justin Rose – The 45 year old Rose is playing in his 100th consecutive major golf tournament this week. That’s a record bested only by Jack Nicklaus. The Golden Bear played in an incredible 146 straight appearances in golf’s majors. Justin Rose is the seventh ranked golfer in the world. He won the 2013 US Open at Merion Golf Club near Pittsburgh. His maturity in pressure situations could give him a chance this week. Brooks Koepka – He won the 2018 US Open on this same golf course eight years ago. Koepka has played well at times this year but hasn’t registered a win in 2026. His five major championship wins have usually been on difficult golf courses. He knows Shinnecock Hills well. If he makes the weekend cut, Brooks Koepka might be a factor on Sunday afternoon. US Open weather: The National Weather Service is calling for: Thursday – 40% chance of rain. High near 76. South winds gusting to 35 mph. Friday – Sunny. High of 77 degrees. West winds at 10-15 mph. Saturday – Sunny. High of 75 degrees.

World Cup fever? No way. As the saying goes, I'd rather watch paint dry. Soccer may be a fun game for kids to play, but it can be downright boring watching it in person and, moreso, on television. But if you enjoy watching the World Cup soccer on television, go for it! You still have another 35 days to go. I'll tune in whenever I need a nap. My weekend television viewing was spent watching more traditional sporting events. Let's jump right in. NBA Finals – New York Knicks took the title 94-90 on Saturday night The New York Knicks have won their first NBA title since 1973. Finals MVP guard Jalen Brunson played like a dead ringer for Knicks legend Earl “The Pearl” Monroe from that 1973 title team. The now 81-year old Earl Monroe was named one of the NBA's top 50 players of the 20th century. He was known for his uncanny ability to “shake and bake” defenders in order to get his shots away. He and teammate Walt Frazier were both inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall-of Fame. Jalen Brunson (who is generously listed at 6'1”) weaved his way in, around, and through the giant San Antonio Spurs defense for one great shot after another during this series. His 45 points in Saturday night's deciding Game 5 in San Antonio accounted for nearly half of his team's 94 point total. The San Antonio Spurs came into this series considered as a slight favorite after knocking-off defending champion Oklahoma City in the Western Conference finals. San Antonio played like Wile E. Coyote for this entire series. I blame their coach for that. Every game in this five game series had the San Antonio Spurs racing out to a double digit lead. In each game, the New York Knicks patiently waited for their chance to blow past their unfocused opponent. Much like legendary cartoon character Wile E. Coyote, the Spurs looked and acted overconfident at the beginning of every game in this series. At the end of all but one game, it was the Spurs going over the proverbial cliff and going “poof” at the bottom of the canyon. San Antonio's coaches and players should have learned a few lessons during home losses in Games 1 and 2 of this series. After grabbing a close win in Game 3 in New York, these “Same Old Spurs” reappeared in a big way midway through Game 4 last week. San Antonio blew the largest lead ever in an NBA Finals game (29 points) to fall behind 3-1 in the series. There was no way that San Antonio could lose a third straight home game in Game 5, right? Saturday night's Game 5 in San Antonio had the Spurs doing exactly the same thing they had done in every other loss. They raced to an early double digit lead (16 points in Game 5) and then folded like a cheap beach chair during the second half once again. I place the blame for poor strategy and on-court execution on the San Antonio coaches for making the same second half mistakes in this series over and over again. The feckless Spurs appeared dazed during the fourth quarter of these five games. They averaged a paltry 21 points during the all-important fourth quarters of these NBA Finals. When the chips were down, the Spurs functioned like a rudderless ship, while their head coach seemed to push all the wrong buttons. San Antonio guard De'Aaron Fox is paid $51 million per year. He averaged nearly 19 points per game in the regular season but tanked to just over 14 points per game during the NBA Finals. Fox tallied only 7 points on 3-15 from the field in Game 5 in San Antonio on Saturday night. Meanwhile, the Spurs 7'4” center-turned-point guard named Victor Wembanyama continued to take and miss a significant number of unnecessary 3-point shots. Why is he allowed to shoot those shots instead of play closer to the basket? The coach allows it. These collapses occurred under the watch of San Antonio's 39-year old head coach Mitch Johnson. He took over the head coaching job after apprenticing under Spurs 5-time NBA champion coach Gregg Popovich. Mitch Johnson took over this team in 2025. This was his first time coaching a team in the NBA playoffs. Coach Johnson curiously kept Spurs' dynamic sixth man Dylan Harper on the bench to start pivotal Game 5 while leaving ineffective De'Aaron Fox as the starter. Harper (who scored 25 points in 31 minutes of action) was clearly the better player in this series. Why wasn’t he played more? ESPN’s Charles Barkley asked the same question during halftime of Game 5. The former NBA player-turned-commentator said the Spurs would be better off putting De’Aaron Fox on the bench in the second half. That didn’t happen. Barkley turned out to be right. The Spurs are now done for this season. Congratulations to the New York Knicks. A ticker tape victory parade for the team will take place on Thursday in Manhattan. Carolina Hurricanes won the 2026 Stanley Cup title Sunday night The Carolina Hurricanes took a 3-0 road win to close out the Stanley Cup four games to two over the Las Vegas Golden Knights. It was the second title for the Raleigh-based NHL team in the past 20 seasons. Congratulations to the Canes! (OK – I don't watch enough hockey to have any further thoughts on this subject) Surprising Louisville Kings dethrone DC Defenders in UFL United Bowl III title game The expansion Louisville Kings started their first season 0-3. This team came together to finish the regular season at 6-4 and earn a spot in the UFL playoffs. Louisville was just 2-3 at home but a solid 4-1 on the road during the regular season. The Kings had to travel to Washington DC to play the 2025 champion DC Defenders in the UFL title game on Saturday. A sellout crowd of more than 19,000 fans at Audi Field in Washington saw Louisville come from behind after halftime to take a 27-20 win over ol' DC. The Defenders led 16-7 at the intermission and were clinging to a 16-13 advantage after three periods. Louisville then tallied two fourth quarter running touchdowns to win the title in Season #3 of spring’s United Football League. DC finished their season with a 7-5 record. PGA journeyman golfer finally wins. This Bud's for you, Mr. Cauley! Bud Cauley was a three-time college All-American golfer at the University of Alabama. He turned professional 15 years ago in 2011. He played well enough during his first few years on the PGA Tour to keep his playing card despite no first place finishes. Cauley suffered a broken leg, five broken ribs, and a collapsed lung in an automobile accident while playing in Jack Nicklaus' Memorial Tournament in 2018. After several complications in his recovery, he finally resumed playing professional golf six years later in 2024. Bud Cauley was winless in his 238 career PGA Tour starts prior to last weekend's Canadian Open near Toronto. The 36-year old journeyman golfer rediscovered his youthful putting stroke on Sunday. Cauley’s birdie barrage (along with a few key breaks) led to a closing round 65 and his first PGA Tour win. His 17-under par total was two shots better than Matt Fitzpatrick and three better than Viktor Hovland. Bud Cauley's first win came at the same golf tournament which was also the site of golfing great Arnold Palmer's first victory. Arnie pocketed $2,400 for his win back in 1955. Guess how much money that would be this year in 2026? Answer: $30,000 Bud Cauley's win on Sunday carried a first prize of $1,764,000. Even the worst finisher in the field (74th place) at the 2026 Canadian Open took home more than $19,500. Sunday's first triumph will bring some nifty fringe benefits, too. The win put Cauley into this week's US Open at Shinnecock Hills. He will also be in the field for July's Open Championship (British Open) and next spring's Masters. More importantly, the win made Bud Cauley exempt from having to qualify for future PGA Tour events for two years after this season ends. Cauley's wife and his two young sons ran onto the 18th green to greet him and celebrate after he tapped in for the win. It's now off to Long Island in New York and a spot in Thursday's US Open for the rejuvenated Bud Cauley! The post A Weekend of Champions appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.
On this special US Open preview edition of the show, Ryan looks at Shinnecock Hills, talks about who should do well at the US Open and what to expect in terms of conditions and setup at the national championship. Rory McIlroy also openly questions the new-look PGA Tour schedule after the Canadian Open, wondering if the old way of doing things -- pre-LIV -- is the right way to go. Finally, kudos to Bud Cauley for his 1st PGA Tour win after a long path back.Join Golf News Net today with our new special: https://thegolfnewsnet.com/gnn-membership-special/Subscribe to Golf News Net for the latest golf news and rumors, with analysis of all of the biggest stories from the PGA Tour, LIV Golf, LPGA Tour, Korn Ferry Tour and more.FOLLOW RYANX: https://twitter.com/ryanballengeeFacebook: https://facebook.com/ryanballengeegolfInsta: https://instagram.com/ryanballengeegolfFOLLOW USGolf News Net: https://thegolfnewsnet.comX: https://twitter.com/golfnewsnetFacebook: https://facebook.com/golfnewsnetInsta: https://instagram.com/golfnewsnet

We hebben The International gespeeld op uitnodiging van een luisteraar. Break 100 was het doel, maar dat is helaas niet door iedereen gelukt. Toffe baan, leuke layout en geweldig onderhouden. Paul maakte als enige een birdie en Peter kwam met de beste score de baan af. Alleen de score van Peter is juist voorspeld en een pet wordt naar de winnaar verstuurd. Rogier had nog een maandbeker gespeeld op Anderstein, redelijk steady maar hij heeft toch maar een laser besteld in de hoop dat dat slagen gaat opleveren.In het Canadian Open deed Brooks Koepka het goed, totdat hij last kreeg van een blessure en zich terug moest trekken. Ben James speelt zijn eerste wedstrijd op de PGA tour en staat na 2 rondes bovenaan. Europese Rydercuppers doen het goed, maar Bud Cauley wint zijn eerste toernooi.

U.S. Open week is here, and the 2026 version goes to Shinnecock Hills, one of the toughest tests in all of championship golf. Will anyone get under par? Or will an over par score win like Brooks Koepka did in 2018 at +1? We will do a deep dive into the history of the U.S. Open at Shinnecock, the golf course and who we think will fair well this week. Bud Cauley got his first PGA Tour win this week in the Canadian Open. After a horrific car crash in 2018, Cauley has fought his way back and has finally won for the first time on the PGA Tour. Allegations of inappropriate contact by Phil Mickelson against a female staffer at The Farm Golf Club in California were reported this week. We talk about what is known so far and what Mickelson's lawyers are saying. Subscribe to the Break80 Podcast on Apple, Spotify and YouTube for weekly golf content. Learn more about your ad choices.

We are four wide on this busy Friday with a lot of news to discuss as the week closes before the U.S. Open. Brendan is joined by KVV, Joseph, and PJ. They begin with the Golf Digest report on allegations against Phil Mickelson of nonconsensual and inappropriate physical contact with a female employee at his home club that led to his removal from said club. They discuss the late stage spiral of Phil, and the seriousness of this now most recent allegation, the mess he’s made of his career, what could have been, and what will never be now. Then they get into a spate of LIV news from reports on the future of its remaining four events in the Financial Times, to a report on confusion about the contracts for players like Jon Rahm, to one more about the Australian Open perhaps becoming the “death knell” of LIV’s reimagined plans. Joseph brings some provocative comments about the TPC Toronto test for the Canadian Open and the PGA Tour putting bumpers up for the highest level of pro golf. KVV has a Flashback segment on a former rules kerfuffle at a U.S. Open that had players tweeting angrily all through the evening. Then they close with a wide-ranging PJ minute on the Knicks, an all time win, and an all time rant about Carmelo’s place in franchise lore.

We preview this week's Canadian Open at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley, breaking down everything from course setup to championship expectations. What kind of test will players face this weekend, and are we in for another low-scoring birdie-fest or a setup that brings strategy and patience into play? We look at how weather conditions might shape scoring and which style of player is best suited to contend on this layout. The conversation also dives into the strength of this year's field—being called the deepest in 25 years—and why so many of the game's biggest stars are making their way north of the border. We also explore one of the event's signature experiences in “The Rink,” and how it has helped create a unique atmosphere that sets this tournament apart on the PGA Tour schedule. Finally, we hear insights from Tournament Director Ryan Paul and close with predictions on what the biggest storyline will be when the final putt drops on Sunday.
