The Open Championship is underway at Royal Birkdale in Southport, England, and the biggest stage in golf has never looked more loaded. Defending champion and world number one Scottie Scheffler tees it up looking to etch his name on the Claret Jug a second straight time, with Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, and hometown hope Tommy Fleetwood all lurking and hungry for that title.
Meanwhile, Conor McGregor's long-awaited UFC three twenty nine return lasted about as long as it took him to throw his first strike. The former two-division champion rushed Max Holloway at the opening bell, launched a jumping switch kick, and landed badly on his right leg. McGregor is now dealing with a significant injury, and the medical update he gave has the MMA world holding its breath over whether we see him compete again anytime soon.
And Argentina's national team finds itself back in controversy after locker room celebration footage went viral. The Scaloneta was caught singing a chant mocking England, calling for a minute of silence for the English, describing them as dead. It's the same chant that drew outrage before, and with the World Cup still burning hot, the backlash is only getting louder.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
