Weekend winners
› Scottie Scheffler. Wow. Just wow. He ran away from the field at the Byron Nelson event over the weekend, finishing at 31 under. He won by eight shots people. Eight. Here’s hoping good Scottie meets great Rory in two weeks at the PGA Championship.
› Game 7s. Sure, there is the occasional clunker in there, but for the most part, the win-or-turn-in-the-gear settings are wicked cool. Especially in the NHL playoffs, which delivered a thrilling Winnipeg win in double OT last night.
› WNBA preseason. Seriously. The idea of playing preseason games at the college sites of some of the league’s biggest stars is truly inspired. PT Barnum would approve. And Caitlin Clark returning to a packed house at Iowa was super cool.
