'Aspirational' Scottie Scheffler Inspires LPGA Star with Approach to Golf, Life
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Scottie Scheffler continued his amazing run last weekend by winning the Open Championship at Royal Portrush. However, his time in Northern Ireland has been as significant for his performance inside the courts as for the things he said. His approach to the part golf plays in his life has been seen as a role model by many of his peers, though others have not seen it the same way. Among the former is LPGA Tour star Lauren Coughlin, who will be defending her Women's Scottish Open title this week.

More Getty Images/Gregory Shamus From the iconic Dundonald Links, the venue for the event, Coughlin described how what Scheffler said aligns with her idea of balance between golf and the rest of her life. "I think his perspective is very unique, and I feel like something that we should aspire to," she said, according to the transcripts of her pre-tournament press conference. "You know, just the whole gratitude and his worth isn't defined by him as a golfer. It's defined by him as a husband and a father, and it's definitely, like, very aspirational to be. "I want to be a good wife and hopefully a good friend and hopefully a good mom some day, and to not be so into, like, your identity as a golfer. That's really hard, and it's definitely something I struggle with at times. It's something that we care so much about and we want to do so well. But hearing him say some of those things, you can kind of learn some things from him." We can all learn something from Scottie 👏 — LPGA (@LPGA) July 22, 2025 Before beginning his performance at the Open Championship, Scheffler reflected on the role golf plays in his life. He stated that being a good husband and father is much more important to him than winning tournaments. Coughlin began her professional career in 2016, but her breakthrough season came last year, when she won the CPKC Women's Open and the Women's Scottish Open, her first two LPGA Tour victories. Other impressive results included her third-place finish at the Chevron Championship and her fourth-place finish at the Amundi Evian Championship. These results led her to the American team in the Solheim Cup, where she contributed 3.5 points in four matches to the victory over Team Europe.

Lauren Coughlin on the 'fight and claw' to get to LPGA and Scottie Scheffler's inspiration
As young Lottie Woad makes her pro debut at this week's ISPS Handa Women's Scottish Open, veteran Lauren Coughlin experiences a first of her own. Coughlin, 32, will defend an LPGA title for the first time this week at Dundonald Links. Needless to say, Coughlin's route to the LPGA was a bit bumpier than Woad's. A walk-on at Virginia who played in regional events growing up, Coughlin dropped down to the Epson Tour after losing her LPGA card early on and took the long route to the winner's circle – finally hoisting a trophy after 103 LPGA starts. "I think it's just a little bit different," said Coughlin the late-bloomer of her road to success on the LPGA. "Like I've had to kind of fight and claw to get here. And so not to say that Lottie has not had to fight and claw but in just kind of a little bit different kind of – she's fighting and clawing to win, whereas I was fighting and clawing to get status and keep status and things like that." Coughlin's win last year at Dundonald Links was her second in three starts, and she went into her first Solheim Cup as one of America's top players. She has cooled a bit since then, however, missing four cuts in her last five starts, including the recent Amundi Evian Championship. In April, she had two top-3 finishes. When asked what's changed, Coughlin said she was having more fun last year. "I feel like Evian, I was playing a lot better starting at Evian," said Coughlin, "and I just couldn't get the ball to go in the hole. But other than that, yeah, I feel like I'm just trying to get back to that, being a lot more relaxed and not trying so hard and want to do so well that sometimes you can tighten up." The LPGA was off last week while the men's British Open took place at Royal Portrush. Coughlin spent the week with friend Maja Stark in her small Swedish village, but managed to catch some of what Scheffler was doing and saying in Northern Ireland. "I think his perspective is very unique," said Coughlin, "and I feel like something that we should aspire to. You know, just the whole gratitude and his worth isn't defined by him as a golfer. It's defined by him as a husband and a father, and it's definitely, like, very aspirational to be like, yeah, I want to be a good wife and hopefully a good friend and hopefully a good mom some day, and to not be so into, like, your identity as a golfer. That's really hard, and it's definitely something I struggle with at times. "It's something that we care so much about and we want to do so well. But hearing him say some of those things, you can kind of learn some things from him."

North Shore news organization is growing with help from Google
The Record North Shore is one of 14 community news organizations receiving money from the Google News Initiative. Why it matters: The grant will help The Record expand its coverage at a time when Chicago's two major dailies have greatly reduced staff, and the Daily Herald is one of only a few newspapers primarily focused on covering the suburbs. Shaw Local in DeKalb County was the only other grant recipient in Illinois. State of play: The Record will use the $150,000 to add Skokie to its current footprint of Evanston, Highland Park, Wilmette, Winnetka, Glencoe, Northfield and Kenilworth. The three-person staff includes two reporters and a stable of freelancers. Editor-in-chief Joe Coughlin tells Axios the grant will hopefully lead to a larger staff. Flashback: Coughlin, Megan Bernard and Martin Carlino raised $60,000 through a Kickstarter campaign to start The Record in March 2020 after their former company, 22nd Century Media, folded. Zoom in: Skokie is a diverse northern suburb of more than 65,000 residents and is often considered a more affordable housing option than some of its North Shore neighbors. "Skokie has had a lot of government turmoil in the past few years. They've really been working hard toward electoral reform," Coughlin says about the decision to add the suburb to their coverage. "The way it was going really had people distrusting their local institutions." "Local news gets there late instead of getting there to let residents know, 'Hey, this is coming up at your local board meeting. Let's start paying attention,'" Coughlin adds.

Budget deals take shape
Good Tuesday morning! They had largely kept it under wraps until Monday, but the budget process was delayed a bit by an impasse between Gov. Phil Murphy and Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin. The two sides hadn't agreed on about $150 million — a small sum in the scheme of things, but enough to cause some problems. After negotiations Monday, Coughlin and Murphy by the afternoon had agreed on a plan that aims to find major savings in the state's public health benefits, presumably with the consent of Senate leadership. Or more of a plan for a plan: The committees in charge of planning the benefits will be charged with finding millions in savings. The negotiations had also centered around whether to pare back Coughlin's signature StayNJ tax credit program for seniors, the tax rate on sports and online gambling, and the 'mansion tax' on home sales of over $1 million. Brent Johnson reports details of the budget deal. It won't include taxing 'fun' like bowling and laser tag, but will still hike rates for online gambling and real estate sales over $1 million. The Legislature is hoping to pass it through committee Wednesday and in both houses by Friday. But nothing has been scheduled yet. FEEDBACK?

Here's what Tambussi claims is ballot Siberia, and here's a 2017 Camden City primary ballot on which non-machine candidates for mayor and council were in column 10. HAPPY BIRTHDAY — Kristin Corrado, Sterley Stanley, Herb Klein, Bruce Land, Ed Traz WHAT TRENTON MADE BUDGET — Public-sector health savings at center of budget talks in final days, by POLITICO's Matt Friedman and Daniel Han: Gov. Phil Murphy and Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin on Monday overcame an impasse over revenue in the $58 billion state budget that had threatened to delay its passage with a plan centered on public health benefits savings. According to three officials with knowledge of the negotiations, Murphy and Coughlin were about $150 million apart in revenues as of early Monday morning, but negotiations continued throughout the day. By the afternoon, the governor and Legislature had agreed to a plan to task the committees in charge with the state's public worker benefit plans with finding millions in savings. … According to the officials, the Murphy administration laid out a few options to the Assembly that they would accept in terms of making up the revenue: Enacting more aggressive cost savings measures in public workers' health plans, paring back Coughlin's signature StayNJ property tax relief program for seniors, or instituting a higher tax rate on internet sports betting and other forms of online gambling. One official familiar with the negotiations said a deal was in place that would require the committee overseeing plan design for the state-run public worker health insurance program to achieve a set amount of savings by a certain date. The committee is made up of equal representation from labor and government representatives. —'With state health benefits rising 'astronomically,' Murphy seeks $100M in cuts' IT'S GOOD TO BE THE CHAIR — 'Why does North Jersey town still get millions for a train station already paid for?' by The Record's Colleen Wilson: 'Buried in the hundreds of pages that make up New Jersey state budgets each year for the last five years has been a vague, inconspicuous line item: 'Repayment of Municipal Contribution to Mass Transit Facility.' But unlike most other grants in the budget pages for the Department of Community Affairs … this line item didn't name the project, program or municipality receiving the money. So far, a combined $47.5 million of state taxpayer dollars has been disbursed for this unidentified expense — and another $10 million is proposed in the budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1. Documents filed with the Department of Community Affairs reveal that the applications for the 'Mass Transit Facility' grants were submitted by state Sen. Paul Sarlo, who is chairman of the powerful Senate budget committee and also the longtime mayor of Wood-Ridge.' [REDACTED] IS WHERE THE HEART IS — 'After Minnesota assassinations, N.J. lawmakers seek to shield their home addresses,' by New Jersey Monitor's Nikita Biryukov: 'A New Jersey lawmaker wants to bar the disclosure of state legislators' home addresses after a gunman killed Minnesota's House speaker and left another lawmaker critically wounded earlier this month. Assemblyman Chris DePhillips' proposal would add legislators to the list of officials whose personal information is shielded under Daniel's Law, which currently prohibits the publication of home addresses of judges and law enforcement personnel. 'We need to do something on our end to protect public officials who have made the step to serve the public,' DePhillips (R-Bergen) told the New Jersey Monitor. … The assemblyman's effort to bar the disclosure of lawmakers' addresses isn't the first.' FRUSTRATION WITH TRENTON CAN BRING ANYONE TOGETHER — 'Last-minute cancellation of anti-Semitism definition vote sparks anger,' by New Jersey Globe's Zach Blackburn: 'Democratic Assembly leaders quietly decided last week that there would be no committee vote on a divisive bill to define anti-Semitism, angering the advocates and legislators who weren't informed before Monday morning and potentially pushing off an already-tense political issue for even longer. When the announcement was made late last week that the Assembly Community Development and Women's Affairs Committee would hold a hearing on legislation that would codify a controversial definition of anti-Semitism, advocates around the state jumped into action, expecting a vote. By the time Monday morning rolled around, dozens of members of the public had arrived in Trenton to testify (many of whom rearranged work schedules to attend), demonstrators protested outside the statehouse in remarkable heat, and the bill's sponsors were ready to finally see a vote after more than a year of inaction. Instead, committee chair Shavonda Sumter (D-North Haledon) surprised the audience when she announced there would not be a vote on the legislation, further driving a wedge between Democratic lawmakers and some Jewish communities that could prove consequential in an election year. … While opponents of the bill were relieved not to see the legislation pass, some still felt miffed by the decision not to hold a vote. Selaedin Maksut, the executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations-New Jersey, the Garden State's chapter of the country's largest Islamic advocacy group, said he hoped to see the committee vote down the bill instead of delaying it.' —'Murphy 'will not give up' on offshore wind, blasts Van Drew for opposing it' —Stile: 'Jack Ciattarelli and Mikie Sherrill both face headwinds.

Shortly after he left the agency at the beginning of this year, President Donald Trump took a hatchet to USAID, and the work Winder and his colleagues did became the first casualty of the Trump administration's 'government efficiency' efforts. Now Winder, a New Jersey native, is back in his home state and running for Congress. A Democrat, Winder is announcing a campaign today against Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-Dennis), who represents the Republican-leaning southern reaches of the state where Winder once spent his summers; the conservative congressman, Winder says, has lost touch with the voters of the 2nd congressional district. 'People across this district are really sick and tired of partisan games, political theater, and establishment politicians,' Winder told the New Jersey Globe.' SUMMER CUTTIN', HAD ME A FAST — 'Do federal cuts imperil summer meals programs for children?' by NJ Spotlight News' Hannah Gross: 'One in seven children in New Jersey suffers from food insecurity, a significant increase from before the pandemic. Many of these 270,000 children count on their schools for two meals, five days a week.

The Camden County Democratic Committee sued Monday, arguing that the three-member slate of the South Jersey Progressive Democrats doesn't have the right to fill the vacant seats with anybody but members of the losing slate. … Judge Michael Kassel, who sits in Camden County, set oral arguments for July 11 and then restrained the winning trio from conducting an organizational meeting, adopting bylaws and attempting to fill the seats. 'The South Jersey Progressive Democrats received the greatest number of votes. However, that group was only able to field 3 candidates. The remaining 71 seats, by operation of New Jersey law and the Bylaws of the County Committee, are awarded to the next highest vote getter. In this case, because of unique and unprecedented ballot design issues, it was not possible for voters to select individually from the 74 Camden County Democratic Committee candidates, who all therefore tied for the next highest vote total,' attorney Bill Tambussi wrote in the lawsuit. —'Norcross machine Democrats file suit against Cherry Hill progressives over their election loss' PATERSON — 'Officials shut down Paterson graduation as 16 hospitalized, 160 seek heat relief,' by The Patereson Press' Joe Malinconico: 'After declaring 'a mass casualty event,' emergency management officials shut down Paterson's high school commencement ceremony on June 23 as 166 attendees — including graduates and family members — were overcome by the heat. Even though dozens of people needed medical treatment during the morning ceremony, Paterson Schools Superintendent Laurie Newell made the decision to go ahead with the afternoon portion of the commencement at Hinchliffe Stadium, officials said. Graduates in gowns sat in folding chairs on the heat-radiating artificial turf, while their family members looked down from the grandstands made of hot concrete. None of them were in the shade. Dignitaries, including Board of Education members and school district officials, were given seats under tents. As temperatures climbed closer to 100 degrees, emergency medical technicians scrambled to respond to people in the crowd suffering from heat exhaustion. City officials intervened about an hour into the afternoon ceremony and ordered an end to the commencement as school administrators were in the middle of announcing the names of graduates from Eastside High School.' PASSAICKY — 'Major Paterson developer buys home from city official for $500,000,' by The Paterson Press' Joe Malinconico: 'Charles Florio, the city's most prominent housing developer, spent $500,000 in May to buy a one-family home from Mayor Andre Sayegh's public works director, William Rodriguez. Florio — a longtime supporter of Sayegh — has made his mark in Paterson by buying properties in the city's most troubled neighborhoods and constructing apartment buildings there. But the house Florio bought from Rodriguez is on Lenox Avenue in the Hillcrest neighborhood, a suburb-like enclave with lawns and low crime. 'I saw an opportunity to buy a good asset at a good price,' Florio said. 'There were other bidders. I was the highest, and I will renovate and flip the property.' … The price Florio paid seems within market value, said several people familiar with Paterson real estate.' — 'Cranbury unveils affordable housing plan for 175-year-old family farm' —'Tenants advocacy organization pushes for Passaic referendum on limiting rent hikes' R.I.P. — 'Trenton officer dies in off-duty car crash Sunday in Westampton' EVERYTHING ELSE SCATTERED OUTAGES — About 13,000 New Jersey customers lost power on Monday, according to Most of those, which are likely due to heat-related strain on distribution system infrastructure, were in the PSE&G service territory. An extended heat wave could be bad politically for New Jersey Democrats. Power bills are already set to skyrocket because of a long-term supply-demand crunch. Republicans who are trying to get a foothold in the Legislature and retake the governor's office have blamed Democrats for energy policies that have driven up prices. A hot summer forcing people to keep their air conditioners running will only make those price spikes more dramatic. Demand was also straining but not breaking the 13-state regional grid.

Gregory J. Janicki, who taught music at Washington Township High School in Gloucester County for nearly 20 years, said he was terminated in 2020 after refusing to participate in LGBTQ-related training and events. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit upheld a lower court's dismissal earlier this month, concluding the case had no merit for further review. The court also ordered the former teacher to cover court costs, effectively closing the door on a legal battle that had stretched over two years. … U.S. District Judge Karen M. Williams ruled that Janicki's claims were already resolved through a formal arbitration process. … According to court records, the arbitrator cited a pattern of behavior that showed intolerance toward LGBTQ+ students and staff. This included distributing controversial materials and refusing to attend mandatory training sessions, according to the ruling.' BRIDE TO BRIE — 'Cheesy proposal. Man pops the question with ring hidden inside mozzarella ball,' by The Record's Matt Fagan: 'Popping the question via a fortune cookie or Jumbotron may seem cheesy, but those pale to John Russo's proposal, who literally hid the engagement ring inside a ball of cheese. More specifically, the ring and its box were hidden inside a fresh mozzarella ball made by North Jersey's king of mozzarella, Vinnie Morelli of Vinnie's Mootz in Lyndhurst. Fortunately, the bride-to-be, Hannah Jang, shares her fiancée's humor and loved the cheesy proposal. She said yes. The couple, who met during the COVID pandemic lockdown, had already agreed to marry on July 27 in Tarrytown, New York, however, there had never been a ring or a formal proposal.' —'Cocaine pipeline from Puerto Rico to N.J. severed in record-setting drug bust, prosecutor says'

Nelly Korda calls hole locations at unrelenting KPMG Women's PGA 'almost impossible'
FRISCO, Texas – The KPMG Women's PGA Championship blew by its television window by just over an hour. Coverage moved from NBC Sports to Peacock, and with American star Lexi Thompson in contention midway through her back nine and two-time major winner Minjee Lee on top of the board, it marked another missed opportunity for the LPGA. There were no weather delays. Play at Fields Ranch East started at 6:37 a.m. in twosomes, and it took world No. 1 Nelly Korda, one of the fastest players on tour, 3 hours and 9 minutes to play the front nine – in a twosome. During a long wait on the drivable par-4 seventh, Ruoning Yin sat underneath her sun umbrella and told her caddie, David Jones, that she wanted to go to sleep. 'I'll wake you up,' he replied. With winds gusting more than 35 mph and feels-like temperatures approaching 100, it was a taxing day from start to finish. Sunday is forecast to bring more of the same, so officials are sending players out in threesomes. When asked what could be done to improve pace of play, Korda said that in these conditions, it's too hard to hold the greens. 'The hole locations are kind of in almost impossible positions,' said Korda, 'where not many people are hitting the greens, so obviously it's going to take a lot more time.' Fields Ranch built to house championships The Home of the PGA of America was built to host major championships. The PGA Championship will be contested here in 2027, and the KPMG Women's PGA will return in 2031. The men's event will be held a full month earlier, however, which should yield softer, cooler conditions. Given the makeup of a typical LPGA gallery and volunteer base – families with young children and seniors – moving away from this summer heat is certainly a topic of conversation this week. U.S. Women's Open dates have shifted of late between late May and early July. The dates for the 2031 USWO at Oakland Hills Country Club have yet to be decided, so there's a chance that something could change. Locals suggest hosting nothing here in the summer past June 1. Lauren Coughlin was packing up her golf travel bag by the clubhouse as the final groups were making the turn. Coughlin, a two-time winner on the LPGA, noted that the cut was actually higher at the 2024 U.S. Women's Open at Lancaster Country Club (8 over), but there weren't many complaints about setup outside of the 12th hole on Thursday. 'Lancaster was very difficult, and it demanded a lot,' said Coughlin, 'but if you hit good golf shots you were rewarded. I think you can hit good golf shots out here and not be rewarded, and that's the difference.' Stacy Lewis told Golfweek on Friday that the course was 'making very good players look silly' and attributed the slow play to setup. Scoring average at KPMG is highest in a decade The scoring average on Saturday was 76.065, the highest major championship round in a decade on the LPGA. The opening par 5 ranked hardest, and, according to LPGA stats guru Justin Ray, its 5.603 average is the highest scoring average on an opening hole in the last 30 years on tour. There were only three birdies on the day and one triple-bogey, posted by Thompson, who, incredibly, managed to play the rest of the round in even par. Charley Hull carded one of only three birdies on the par-4 sixth hole Saturday. When asked if she took some satisfaction in that, Hull said her 1-over 73 over the Gil Hanse design felt solid. 'Just one of those golf courses that, I don't know, like it can be a bit tricky with the rough, and then the way that they designed a few holes, when the prevailing winds are downwind, you can't stop it anyway, and then you need to bump it in, but you can't bump it in because of the kind of grass that it is," said Hull, referring to the Northbridge Bermuda. 'I don't know, it's just like a golf course design that makes it so tricky.' Only two holes averaged below par, the reachable par-5 ninth and the drivable par-4 15th. Officials had to switch the ninth and 18th holes for this championship to make room for hospitality. The 2023 Senior PGA ended on a reachable par 5. The 18th this week, however, has had more double bogeys over the course of three rounds (22) than birdies (15). Crews trying to keep greens softer Officials say the greens have been watered every night and morning due to the extreme heat and high winds and will be watered once again this evening. There were six holes on Saturday in which less than 40 percent of the field hit the green in regulation. Startling given that the tour average is 68.8 percent for the season. Nelly Korda hit nine greens in regulation in the third round and is averaging 63 percent for the week, 11 percent less than her 2025 average. Minjee Lee posted the only bogey-free day of the round so far this week on Saturday, a 3-under 69, and carries a four-shot lead into the final round over Jeeno Thitikul, the best player on tour without a major. They're the only two players under par for the tournament. Thompson trails by seven and Korda by eight. When the Senior PGA was held here in May 2023, shortly after the golf course opened, Steve Stricker and Padraig Harrington went into a playoff after finishing knotted at 18 under. Conditions were softer and cooler with less wind, miles away from what the LPGA's best have experienced this week, and more in line with the PGA Championship field will likely see in two years. 'The thing is, it's so hard for us to speak out, because I feel like then people are going to think that we're whining,' Korda told Golfweek after the round, 'but the men, their apex is so much higher, so when they do land it on the green, they can do more with it, at the end of the day. 'Our apexes only get so high, and they only can get so high in 35 mph wind. If there's 35 mph gusts, then it's so hard for us to actually float it into these greens because you're trying to penetrate through the wind and not have the ball blow all over the place. 'It is a major championship, and it should play hard. I think 100 percent it should play hard. But good shots need to also be rewarded, and I feel like you're always on defense right now.'
