Scottie Scheffler arrives at the PGA Championship as defending champion and, frankly, a man with something to prove. Three runner-up finishes in a row — McIlroy at Augusta, Fitzpatrick at the Heritage, then six shots back to Cameron Young at Doral. The world number one is hungry, and Valhalla should be very aware of that.
Meanwhile, the NHL Department of Player Safety handed Colorado's Josh Manson the maximum fine allowed under the collective bargaining agreement — five thousand dollars — for burying the blunt end of his stick into Minnesota's Michael McCarron Monday night. The money stings less than the message, but Manson walks without a suspension, and the Wild aren't thrilled about that.
Shifting to football, and it's official — the Bengals and the Falcons are headed to Madrid for a Week nine showdown this season. The NFL's international push keeps accelerating, and Cincinnati and Atlanta will be the ones carrying the flag across the Atlantic this fall. Transatlantic football is no longer a novelty, it's a fixture on the calendar.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
