Scottie Scheffler holds off Jon Rahm to win PGA Championship

Times19-05-2025
Scottie Scheffler is not the sort to over dramatise golf but he sounded an ominous warning as he basked in the glow of winning his third major at the US PGA Championship. 'I can be a crazy person when it comes to putting my mind to something,' he said after his five-stroke triumph. 'Sometimes I wish I didn't care as much.'
This one was far from perfect but he was able to maintain calm when threatened by a renascent Jon Rahm. In the past 50 years only Crazy Scottie and Seve Ballesteros have won their first three majors by at least three shots. Decent duo.
His round of 71 took him to 11 under par and means that at 28 he has established himself as

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel sends warning to Tua Tagovailoa after Donald Trump called out NFL quarterback

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel joked that Tua Tagovailoa has been given an 'executive order' to avoid getting hurt after Donald Trump told the quarterback he 'has got to stay healthy'. The 27-year-old started only 11 games last season amid concerns over his health after several nasty concussions. There were fears that Tagovailoa might have to call time on his career but he is back and preparing to lead the Dolphins into the 2025 campaign. On Thursday, president Trump namechecked the quarterback at the White House. Trump butchered the pronunciation of Tagovailoa but said he 'has really been fantastic.' 'When he's not injured, he's great. He's got to stay healthy. But he's a great guy,' the president said. On Saturday, McDaniel addressed Trump's comments during Dolphins training camp, telling NFL Network: 'If I was concerned about how serious he was taking his part in staying healthy, I think he got an executive order last night to stay healthy, if I'm not mistaken.' He then praised his quarterback, adding: 'It's been cool to watch him really evolve into who he is on the national stage but more so, really in his own skin, be the true leader of the team. 'It's real and authentic and all he's done is - in a ton of noise - focus on the right stuff. So there's a lot of things that go into staying healthy but first and foremost you have to front-end prioritize and really acknowledge what you mean to the team. 'And, like in years past, he lives and embraces "control-ables" and is not afraid of any work. So guys respond to him.' The president, 79, hosted multiple professional athletes, including golfer Bryson DeChambeau and Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker, at the White House Thursday for an executive order signing that will reestablish the Presidential Fitness Test. A number of sports stars will form a newly-created council of to help with the reinstatement of the test, including Tagovailoa as well as Super Bowl winner Saquon Barkley. But Trump's attempt at praising the Dolphins passer was almost derailed when the president tripped over his last name, which is pronounced 'Tun-go-val-oa.' The Commander-in-Chief sounded out the last name of the signal caller, who is of Samoan descent, before butchering it anyway and pronouncing it 'Ta-go-valiah.' The Alabama product appears to be close to the president's extended family. Earlier this year, Tagovailoa and his former Dolphins teammate Braxton Berrios spent time with First Daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner. Ivanka, the eldest daughter of president Trump, shared photos of her family hanging out with the NFL stars, which included her son passing the pigskin around and playing chess with Tagovailoa.

World champion sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson arrested for allegedly assaulting boyfriend at Washington airport

Reigning 100m world champion Sha'Carri Richardson was arrested last weekend for allegedly assaulting her boyfriend at an airport in Washington. The American sprinter, 25, was arrested last Sunday on a fourth-degree domestic violence offence, according to a police report obtained by The Associated Press. That was four days before she ran in the opening round of the women's 100m event at the USA Track & Field (USATF) Championships in Eugene, Oregon. The police report said an officer at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport was notified by a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) supervisor of a disturbance between Richardson and her boyfriend, sprinter Christian Coleman. It said the officer reviewed camera footage and observed Richardson reach out with her left arm and grab Coleman's backpack and yank it away. Richardson then appeared to get in Coleman's way with Coleman trying to step around her, the report said, adding that Coleman was shoved into a wall. The report later said Richardson appeared to throw an item at Coleman, which the TSA indicated may have been headphones. In the police report, the officer said: "I was told Coleman did not want to participate any further in the investigation and declined to be a victim." Richardson was booked into the South Correctional Entity (SCORE) in Des Moines, Washington, at 6.54pm last Sunday and released on Monday at 1.13pm. "USATF is aware of the reports and is not commenting on this matter," the sport's national governing body said in a statement. Richardson has an automatic bye to the world championships in September in Tokyo as the defending champion.
