🏌 Hello everyone but above all to …

Brian Campbell

It took a little additional golf, but Brian Campbell obtained his second victory for the PGA season of the season at the classic John Deere 2025.

Following 72 holes at TPC Deere Run, Campbell and Emiliano Grillo were locked at the top of the ranking at 18. Through the first 13 holes of the final, it seemed that Campbell could move to a victory, but a disaster struck the n ° 15 when he put a double bogey on his dashboard.

It opened the door to Grillo to shoot even with Campbell, and he did exactly that. This forced Campbell in the playoffs with Grillo, but he was not imperturbable. Campbell marked a peer on the hole in the playoffs while Grillo recorded a Bogey, and Campbell sealed his second victory of the year.

Campbell’s last victory took place at the Mexico Open in February just a few weeks after Punxsutawney Phil came out of the hiding place. It was a long wait, but it was worth, says Patrick McDonald.

• McDonald: “”Between the two departures, Campbell not collected any finish better than a T32, which he accomplished in consecutive weeks to the Masters and the RBC heritage. No matter, with his last entry into the winner’s circle, he joined Rory McILroy,, Scottie Scheffler,, Ben Griffin,, Sepp Straka And Ryan Fox As players to win several times this season. “”

With his victory, Campbell also pocketed just over 1.5 million dollars. Not bad for 73 working holes.

Grillo may have finished second, but he still succeeded in the test in our tournament notes. Max Homa did the same, but Griffin marked badly while he was cooling largely by missing the cup.

USMNT

The weekend of July 4 started with a blow on Friday and was released with a groan on Sunday. THE USMNT Blowed an early advance in a defeat of 2-1 Mexico In the final of the CONCACAF gold cup in Houston.

Only four minutes from the match, the United States drew the first blood when Sebastian Haalter placed a magnificent delivery in the box, and Chris Richards I finished with a beautiful head. It was as close as the Americans arrived at glory because Mexico resumed the match after that. Mexico dominated the shooting attempts (16-6), the shots (8-3) and the corner kicks (12-0).

Raul Jimenez At the level of the Mexican scoring in the 27th minute, and Edson Alvarez marked the winner of the game in the 77th minute with a diving header that was confirmed by Var Review.

The USMNT has left a gold opportunity to slip through its fingers, and it stings a little more when the loss is for a bitter rival. THE The loss also recalled the work of the team Before the 2026 World Cup, writes Pardeep Cattry.

• Cattry: “The most impressive outings of the team came against the teams against which the favorites are clear, an important level on the scale for a team that has lost a wide variety of adversaries in the past year. The higher level of the increase would force them to withdraw stops against Mexico, with a last opportunity to win a trophy before the World Cup; despite the early advances, that performance has never come.”

Of course, the USMNT lacked a few pillars in the programming, including the star Christian Pulisic. Between this and the emergence of young stars as Diego LunaThere is hope for red, white and blue to move forward.

🏀 Speculation on the NBA off -season heats up

One of the biggest questions this summer is the future of LeBron James. The 40 -year -old superstar is looking for another NBA title, but the Lakers May not be able to provide him with one in 2025-2026. So, does that mean that the greatest player in basketball history may be treated?

It’s not that simple. Sam Quinn explains why the salary of $ 52.6 million in James prevents more commercial chatter from starting.

• Quinn: “The exchanges which would have been legal and had a sense of basketball suddenly three years ago are not legal. Salary requests imposed on Riders,, Knicks And Maladder Making a business so expensive in terms of value that James obtaining, no matter how good it is, would probably be impracticable. “”

If a business does not materialize and James plays for Lakers next season, he could have a seat in the front row to see the development of his son, BronnyWHO Thrown a thunderous dunk During his early summer debut in 2025.

A major trade involving a veteran superstar has already been carried out. Kevin during Suns were sent to the Rockets a few weeks ago, but all the details are just beginning. It is because The agreement was a blockbuster at seven teams It would even make a eyeshadow of the “Mission Impossible” opening weekend.

The entire agreement consists of 13 players, five second round choices and cash considerations.

While James and Durant caused emotions on the commercial market, Bradley Beal Can soon strike the free agency market. Beal would be Looking at several options As he awaits a takeover of the Suns.

Here is a quick overview of other news from the NBA’s NBA of this weekend:

🏈 Worse hiring of university football since 2000

“Who are you going to have?” It is often the chorus when university football fans call for the work of a coach in place – and for a good reason. There have been putrid hires this century.

Our own John Talty has returned and Classified the 25 worst hires of coaching of the last 25 yearsAnd there was rigid competition. Names like Price Mike (Alabama) at Mike Locksley (New Mexico) were in the mixture.

Only two schools, Kansas And Tennesseehad the distinction of landing two former coaches in the top 10. Regarding volunteers, they tried to find the next Kirby Smart In Jeremy PruittBut it turns against him spectacularly.

• TALY: “Pruitt had the dry pedigree but quickly proved that he was not Kirby Intelligent. His stay in Knoxville did not only meet expectations, but invited to a meticulous examination of the NCAA in a program that would have distributed money to the parents of players in fast food bags.”

After a relatively silent coach carousel after the 2024 season, there may be chaos next off -season, and the programs will have to choose judiciously.
