Pro sinks long eagle putt to card 59, the second sub-60 round on PGA Tour Americas this week
Now, on Sunday afternoon, there have been three.
Brett White rolled in a 63-foot bomb for eagle on the par-5 18th at the aptly named Eagle Creek Golf Club in Ottawa, Ontario, during the final round of the Commissionaires Ottawa Open. The putt capped off a 8-under 28 on the back nine, culminating in the third 59 ever posted on the PGA Tour Americas.
It might have been the third ever, but it was the second of the week.
On Saturday, Philip Barbaree — who made headlines when he made the cut at the U.S. Open in an emotional moment with his wife, Chloe, on the bag — also fired a 59 at Eagle Creek. He did it in strikingly similar fashion to White, making eagle on the last to finish with a 28 on the inward nine.

'Just an awesome guy': Oilers GM defends new 8-year deal for veteran winger
This in from Edmonton Oilers GM Stan Bowman, his explanation to co-hosts John Shannon and Daren Millard of the 100% Hockey podcast about why Bowman gave an eight-year contract to tough veteran winger Trent Frederic. Frederic recently signed the deal as an unrestricted free agent, with the contract paying him $3.85 million per year. Frederic had been acquired in a March 2025 deal with Boston, along with Max Jones and prospect Petr Hauser. Edmonton gave up second and fourth round picks, as well as the the rights to unsigned draft choice Shane Lachance (going to New Jersey to retain 50% of Frederic's salary for the remainder of the 2024-25 season). Said Bowman of the 6-foot- 3-inch, 220-pound, 27-year-old Frederic: 'He's just an awesome guy, first of all. Like outside of the hockey, he's a guy that you believe in, you want him as part of your team. So I really like the character of Freddie, but that alone is not the reason to sign a guy to a long-term deal. 'But I think a couple of things about him. Number one, he's a very unique player with the skillset that he has. He's a big guy, he's a physical player, he's not afraid. He's got that intimidation factor where he'll go to the other team's bench and challenge anybody, like stop messing around with our group. That's something that I find, you either have that or you don't. It's really hard to bluff your way through that. And he's just naturally that way… No one has to tell him you need to go tell the other team to settle it down here. That's just who he is. So I think, and he's also got the versatility of playing center and wing.' Bowman continued: 'And he's scored, you know, he scored what, 18 goals twice in a row at a fairly young, younger age. So I think he's got the game in him. And I think when you add all that up, it comes down to he's a very unique player. It's not like if we passed on Frederic, we'll just go get so-and-so, who's maybe a little different, but the same type of player. Not a lot of guys like that out there. They just aren't anymore.' Bowman added that Edmonton signed Frederic knowing that it was bringing in a few smaller forwards in Ike Howard and Matt Savoie. 'So I knew we were gonna have a couple smaller guys that I wanted someone with some physicality and some size. And so when you add that all up, I think, you know, he's someone that is gonna be an important player and we're gonna be happy to have him with our group for years to come.' My take 1. First off, Millard and Shannon do an excellent job interviewing Bowman. It's as forthcoming and open as I've heard Bowman in an interview. 2. When I first heard that Frederic was going to sign here for eight years, I didn't like the idea much, but I've come around to it for a few reasons. To get Frederic at that annual salary of $3.85 million, the Oilers needed to go long-term. It would have been better if they could have kept this same deal to about six years, but the low cap hit is needed just now with Edmonton cap-strapped for the next few seasons. 3. When we look at somewhat comparable players we see Utah just signed Jack McBain for five years at $4.25 million per, Boston signed Tanner Jeannot, five years, $3.4 million per, and New Jersey signed checker Connor Brown four years, $3.00 million per. Frederic is in the same range as McBrain as a player, at least when Frederic is healthy. Jeannot isn't the point scorer that Frederic and McBain are, while Brown isn't the physical player that any of the others are. 4. One of the hardest things to find in the NHL is a tough, physical intimidating player who can hold his own in the Top 9. The Oilers have let two such players, Dylan Holloway and Evander Kane, out of their grasp in the last two summers. That's a huge loss to the team. Bowman is right that he needed to add that kind of player to his roster. If Edmonton is going to win a Cup, it's going to need plenty of toughness. Frederic was playing hurt and was a mediocre two-way player in the 2025 playoffs, but if he can regain his health, he's the real deal when it comes to NHL power forwards. 5. Over the last three regular season, if we rank forwards on hits and points per 60 minutes of even strength play, Frederic ranks 22nd overall. McBain ranks 17th, Jeannot 154th and Brown 425th.

President Trump Might Have Been Caught 'Cheating' During Golf Round
President Trump Might Have Been Caught 'Cheating' During Golf Round originally appeared on The Spun. Was the President of the United States caught "cheating" at golf over the weekend? President Trump, 79, is playing at his golf course in Scotland, Trump Turnberry, this weekend. The President of the United States played 18 holes on Saturday and another 18 holes on Sunday. However, was he caught cheating during the round? Legendary sports writer Rick Reilly says that President Trump is an avid cheater at golf. 'I've always said golf is like bicycle shorts. It reveals a lot about a guy,' Reilly said about Trump's golf game. 'And what it reveals about this guy is that he cannot lose. He has to win and he will do anything to cheat.' "And I know because I played golf with him and he took seven mulligans. He took a 'give me chip-in.' I've never even heard of a 'give me chip-in,'" he added. President Trump has won a lot of club championships over the years. But Reilly isn't buying it. 'What he does [is] he just calls in and goes, 'I usually beat that guy, give me the trophy,'' Reilly alleged. 'And I know this because when I play with him, he goes, 'You know what I do to win these championships, don't ya?' and I go, 'Please tell me. Give it to me.' And he goes, 'Anytime I buy a new course, I play the first round all by myself and then I declare myself the club champion,'' Reilly continued. 'So that's what kind of guy this is.' This weekend, video has surfaced, showing President Trump's caddie dropping a ball in the rough, seeming to give him a better approach shot. What do you make of this? "Trump working hard to bring down grocery prices," one fan joked on social media. Was President Trump cheating during his round or just taking a drop from his caddie? Sound off below. President Trump Might Have Been Caught 'Cheating' During Golf Round first appeared on The Spun on Jul 27, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 27, 2025, where it first appeared.
