Fort LeBoeuf's Cassidy Conn completes sweep of Great Lakes Junior Golf majors in 2025
Fort LeBoeuf's junior-to-be still won.
Conn offered a similar assessment of her performance after the tour's stroke play competition.
Her result also was a victorious one.
Nor was Conn outwardly excited after the tour's July 29 season-ending event.
An event she won by seven strokes.
Such downplayed opinions suggest Conn's best golf for 2025 still awaits.
Which should cause a collective shudder for District 10 returnees who seek to end her status as its reigning Class 3A medalist.
'These (wins) all mean a lot,' Conn said. 'They give me a lot of confidence going into the new season.'
Conn spoke from The Ridge Golf Club's outdoor deck, where she received the tournament's trophies for its girls age 19-under division. Her 36-hole score of 5-over par 149 was seven fewer than Fairview returnee Moira Erhartic, a member of the Tigers' 2024 PIAA Class 2A state champions.
Bradford's Payten Leet, a former District 9 gold medalist, was third at eight strokes back.
'Now I know (going forward) that I can beat really good players,' Conn said.

Worth the travel
Sean Karg matched Conn's margin-of-victory result in the boys 19-under division. The Knox resident, a junior-to-be for Keystone High School, was the only player with a red number after two rounds.
Karg, highlighted by three birdies during his back nine, returned to the clubhouse at 7-under 135. New Castle's Rocco Bautti followed at 142.
Cooper Wierzchowski posted the division's best score by a northwestern Pennsylvania golfer. The recent Cathedral Prep graduate was third at 143, which included a second-round 69.
Karg not only got a win, but an added bonus for his efforts.
'This got me off work for two days,' he said.
Karg is employed at Clarion Oaks Golf Course when he's not playing it on his own time.
Titusville's Lukas Miller (boys 15-under) and Brantley Savitz (boys 12-under) were the other age division victors.
Miller, in his trademark red shirt and white floppy hat, shot 146. Savitz returned to his southeastern Crawford County home at 2-over 73 for two nine-hole rounds.
What's next
The 2025 Great Lakes Tour concluded less than a week before PIAA teams are permitted to start practice for their new season.
State rounds can officially start Aug. 7.
Prep's boys will be at State College that same day. The Ramblers will participate in the season-opening Happy Valley Invitational at Penn State University's Blue and White Courses.
Those are the same layouts that will host October's state tournament.

Jihaad Campbell's rapid rise in ‘Block Destruction University' signals he'll start Week 1
PHILADELPHIA — There is a big, bold poster inside the room where the Eagles' inside linebackers meet. Bobby King, their position coach, hung it there. On it, King affixed multiple abbreviations. BDU. BD Tech. BDCC. King included every kind of classification of higher education to emphasize what he intends his young linebackers to master. Advertisement 'Block Destruction University,' explained Smael Mondon Jr., a fifth-round rookie. 'He's saying everybody's going to get a degree from here whenever you're done with him.' Everybody. From Zack Baun, their All-Pro valedictorian, to a pool of second-year linebackers and rookies, including first-round pick Jihaad Campbell, whose immediate responsibilities warrant their schooling. King is their spirited professor with the salt-and-pepper beard. He's their 47-year-old former UTEP nose tackle, who, in practice, straps a pad to his chest where there once was a No. 99. Hit me!, the outfit demands. One after another, the linebackers strike him with strong hands during individual drills. One after another, they refine the block-destroying technique King says rookies generally need to improve. 'These guys in college,' King said, 'sometimes when they get to me, sometimes they're born without arms.' Translation: College linebackers generally don't use their hands very well. That's why King, who's spent 14 of his 16 seasons coaching linebackers for five NFL teams, said 'it's hard to project some of these guys in the pros.' Some prospects impress in what he calls 'the underwear Olympics' (the scouting combine) but struggle to shed blocks when training camp begins. Campbell was a top-10 player on the Eagles' draft board. Still, King needed on-field confirmation when the No. 31 overall pick started practicing. 'I wanted to see if this guy would use these,' said King, raising his hands. 'And he uses those. And he uses them with bad intention sometimes. And that's what I like to see.' Campbell's progress is the team's most promising development of training camp. The Eagles entered the offseason knowing Nakobe Dean would spend at least the beginning of the 2025 season recovering from patellar tendon surgery. They traded up one spot for Campbell without knowing if he'd return from labrum surgery when training camp began July 23. But Campbell beat their training staff's August estimation by practicing immediately and advanced from second-team linebacker to absorbing all of the first-team snaps alongside Baun on the final day of summer practices. That pairing signaled the best-possible outcome for Campbell's first month in Philly: the rookie will start Week 1. Advertisement 'He's gonna be good,' starting safety Reed Blankenship said. 'He's gonna be really good.' A new era of Eagles defense is advancing under defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. Linebacker was an underfunded and undervalued position inside the NovaCare Complex before Fangio arrived. Baun's transformation from gadget edge rusher to All-Pro inside linebacker provoked general manager Howie Roseman to alter his investment plan: the Eagles signed Baun to a three-year, $51 million deal, then spent a first-round pick on an off-ball linebacker for the first time since drafting Jerry Robinson in 1979. Roseman also bolstered depth by spending a Day 3 pick on Mondon, a year after drafting Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the same round. The 'off-ball' designation doesn't fully capture why the position has more value under Fangio. Campbell, like Baun, supplies the Eagles with yet another flexible linebacker who can line up on the line of scrimmage, enabling the defense to shift fronts. Fangio often placed Baun along the edge in five-man fronts. From there, Baun's skillset made him a run-stopper. Baun also wrecked backfields by blitzing from multiple slots. Having two flexible linebackers is a distinct luxury that is unlocking Fangio's schematic creativity. King said the Eagles 'can be very, very multiple' and 'versatile' with their defensive calls. They can 'do one thing' for a few games, then 'do another thing' for the next few. 'Once we start game-planning (for Week 1) with Dallas, you'll see it,' King said. 'We're just doing our base stuff right now, but you can get real creative with the grease board pen.' The Eagles highly value Campbell's abilities along the defensive edge, but their rhetoric implies that they don't plan on deploying him as an outright edge rusher — at least for now. Jeremiah Washburn, a former NFL scout who coaches the team's edge rushers, was indeed the one who spoke with Campbell during the pre-draft process. But Washburn attributed his assignment to Roseman's general desire to evaluate a 'multidimensional' player, and, like Washburn's kids, Campbell attended high school in South Jersey, which Washburn 'felt like that was an easy connection point.' Washburn has also worked Campbell through edge-rusher drills in training camp. But Washburn noted that he's done similar work with Baun. Advertisement 'I mean, I think he can do a lot of things,' Washburn said. 'But he's a young player and you certainly want to focus on specific things right now.' Duplicating Baun as a Week 1 starter is a demanding task in itself for a rookie. (Baun will wear the green dot on game days, King said.) That Campbell has already earned that trust from coach Nick Sirianni, Fangio and King shouldn't go understated. Trotter Jr. had a good camp. The 2024 fifth-round pick punctuated his promising summer by picking off Kyle McCord on Wednesday while playing zone coverage along the right seam. Mondon also advanced quicker than the coaching staff expected. He's made the proverbial dean's list of BDU with notable run-stopping skills throughout the preseason and proved capable in coverage by dislodging a deep throw to Saquon Barkley midway through camp. 'He came in and he really, really flashed — like, wow,' King said. Campbell's position battle victory is no concession. 'In practice, you see him make plays, you see him be able to defeat blocks,' Sirianni said. 'He really has a great motor to get to the football. He has toughness, length and just continues to grow in the defense every day.' The Eagles are placing a significant amount of responsibility on a young defense for yet a second straight season. Within a veteran-laden offense, their starting offensive linemen have started in a combined 319 games in their careers. The entire first-team defense the Eagles fielded in Wednesday's practice has started in a total 244 career games. (And cornerback Adoree' Jackson accounts for 82.) Campbell, like cornerback Quinyon Mitchell a year ago in Sao Paulo, will be the rookie starter who must immediately deliver under the bright lights of a primetime opener. Like Mitchell had in 2024 with former cornerback Darius Slay, Campbell has an in-game mentor in Baun. The two talk frequently on the practice field and in their meetings. 'I don't want to be that vet who hides the secret sauce or doesn't give the secret ingredient,' Baun said. 'That's not who I am. Trying to build up everyone around me. Jihaad, especially, can be so good. I want to get him to playing his best ball as early as he can.' The rookie appears right on track. King said Campbell has 'grown in every area' of his game. Baun said Campbell 'really knows ball,' 'takes good notes' and 'he shows it on the field.' Trotter Jr. said Campbell is 'instinctual' and 'has all the tools that you would want in a linebacker.' Blankenship, who communicates play calls and alignment with Campbell from the secondary, said 'most of it all, he's been right on it. I don't have to worry about him.' In two Wednesday blitzes, Campbell rushed Hurts into throws. The first would've been a sack in full-contact football. Advertisement 'He electrifying,' starting edge rusher Nolan Smith said. Onlookers won't witness such sparks in the Eagles' preseason finale against the New York Jets on Friday. Campbell — who totaled 15 snaps against the Cincinnati Bengals, 28 against the Cleveland Browns — will almost certainly not play. The Eagles signed free agent linebacker Chance Campbell, who last appeared in a regular-season game for the Tennessee Titans in 2023, on Wednesday. Sitting young linebackers in a preseason finale signals yet another luxury. Could the Eagles, after years of low investments at linebacker, a reporter asked King, possibly be stacked at the position? 'Ooh, I wouldn't say stacked,' King laughed. 'Don't set me up like that. I mean, yeah, we played some decent football last year. We gotta get better this year. Last year's a distant memory and we gotta keep building.' (Top photo of Jihaad Campbell: Mitchell Leff / Getty Images) Spot the pattern.

The future of golf isn't just players; creators (and their cameras) are here too
ATLANTA — I saw the future of golf Wednesday afternoon on the East Lake Golf Club putting green. There, 2019 Open champion Shane Lowry and Ryder Cup hero Tommy Fleetwood lined up their last putts before the Tour Championship begins on Thursday. Just a few feet away from them, a handful of YouTube creators, podcasters and influencers — each with their own camera crew — milled about, reading putts and pacing before their own tee times. Wednesday marked the fourth installment of the Creator Classic, a PGA Tour-developed, YouTube-sponsored event pitting 12 of the best-known golf creators against one another in a nine-hole made-for-YouTube event, on the exact same course the pros will play in their season-ending tournament this week. A few steps away from the putting green, three of the stars of the 'Good Good Golf' YouTube channel (1.93 million subscribers) walked toward the first tee for their 3:54 p.m. tee time. On the nearby 18th, another professional golfer measured out his last putts of the day. A group of kids standing along a fenceline couldn't quite figure out whom to watch — the Good Good guys or the pro … a guy by the name of Scottie Scheffler. If that sounds weird or strange or flat-out wrong to you, well … you're not the target demographic for this particular brand of golf. But a whole lot of people are, and the PGA Tour is trying its best to reach them. 'These creators all kind of speak to their own audiences with their own production crews and their own voices,' Chris Wandell, the PGA Tour's Senior Vice President for Media, told Yahoo Sports. 'The amount of content that has resulted from this, and each one of these, has been mind-blowing … content that we could never have scripted just organically happens.' For as long as there's been golf, the relationship between player and fan has been clear: the player plays in front of the fans, the fan watches the pros. But the rise of cheap video capabilities and easy distribution created a third class: fans who play for other fans. Golf 'influencers' and 'content creators' — purists may cringe at the terms, but they're the ones that fit — play some variant of the game in front of literal millions of fans, demythologizing and democratizing a game that's been defined by its gatekeeping rather than its inclusivity. Wednesday's Creator Classic is the fourth installment of the series that began last year at East Lake, a creation born after the Tour recognized just how much Tour-adjacent work that creators were already doing — player interviews, analysis, even tournaments of their own. East Lake makes for a perfect The Tour Championship provided an unconventional, but ideal opportunity — with only 30 players in the field, the course was largely clear by Wednesday afternoon. (Scheffler, Lowry and Fleetwood notwithstanding.) Fans were already on the course and ready to watch more golf … why not give them something a bit outside the norm? 'It was kind of a test — would the idea resonate with fans? Would it resonate with sponsors? Would it bring new people to a tournament that might not otherwise come on a Wednesday at 4:00?' Wandell said. 'We ran it as a test with no solid plans to do it again, and the creators had a great time. Sponsors said, How do I get involved with that? A lot of tournaments called us and said, Can we do this at our tournament?' And so, here we are. Draw a Venn diagram of golf creators, and all you'd have in the center is the word 'golf.' Creators run the gamut from analysts to comedians, precise shotmakers to pranksters. Each style draws in a different subset of fans — fans who might not otherwise get anywhere near a PGA Tour event. 'My fans like to see my friends and I just bantering, talking nonsense,' said Luke Kwon (379,000 subscribers), winner of the 2024 East Lake Creators Classic. 'I think we tend to act like how they act. There's so much comedy that golf sometimes gets pushed to the side.' Others seek to set an example and open doors for people traditionally excluded from the golf world. 'You don't have to be from the best area, the best circumstances to find a place in this game,' Roger Steele (232,000 Instagram followers) said. 'I think that there's opportunities for everybody. You meet good people, and good people will do good things for you.' The twelve creators invited to play on Thursday represent a diverse group of interests and demographics. (Well, not age-wise. Most appeared to fit comfortably in the millennial/elder-Gen Z demo. There were no 65-year-old Boomers or precocious Gen Alphas in the mix. Maybe next year.) Some were here for the competition, some for the fashion, some for the laughs. But all brought massive audiences to the table. The live stream on YouTube easily topped 20,000 viewers — perhaps not massive numbers when compared to a seven-figure PGA Tour broadcast, but better than other golf YouTube streams we could name. 'We've tried our best to balance size of audience, diversity of audience and golf skill,' Wandell says. 'We would love to host 25 handicaps, but this golf course is so hard. Most of these guys are scratch, and even putting them on a course like this, they're going to have trouble breaking par.' The Creator Classic is the live embodiment of an internet truism: where vast viewership numbers gather, money and brands follow. Virtually all of the players in Wednesday's event have their own sponsorship deals, and many have their own merch lines. Akshay Bhatia, who would tee off in the Tour Championship Thursday, mingled with several creators around the putting green. No Laying Up's Soly even managed to wrangle Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan as a caddie. Oh, and there was $100,000 on the line for the winner. Not a bad paycheck for nine holes' work. It's always strange to see social media influencers in the wild. They locate, and mug for, the camera after virtually every significant moment. Their voices, their movements, their entire demeanor are exaggerated when the camera's on them, which works on a phone screen but is juuuuust a bit too much for real life. And oh, the cameras are everywhere. They're the reason these 12 are here, after all. Every moment — every drive, every putt, every chip, every expression — is potential fodder for content, so those cameras have to be rolling. Producers will be hard at work starting Wednesday evening, chopping and carving hours of footage into easily digestible social media content. 'We're trying to build all types of fans, and we want to create products and data and content for fans, no matter how much they want to consume,' Wandell says. 'A lot of the new fans may not have cable, or don't have ESPN Plus. So let's give them some snackable video content, develop the love of golf.' As for the golf itself … well, let's just say the spotters and fore-right paddle holders got more of a workout Wednesday than they're likely to get the rest of the week. Several players dunked their tee shots on the wicked 15th, and most got a chance to visit East Lake's lush rough. Most finished their eight holes over par — in some cases, well over par. But we have all weekend to watch exceptional players at East Lake; this was about watching men and women not all that different from us — better golf games, sure, but otherwise relatable — handling a challenge that most only get to watch on TV. 'My main goal?' said Peter Finch (753,000 subscribers) shortly before teeing off. 'To not be crap.' Haven't we all felt that way, every single round? (For the record, Finch would go on to finish at +6, two strokes out of last place.) In a very real way, the creators are the viewer's avatar, and that's what makes them compelling viewing — it's not hard to imagine ourselves in that spot, and not hard to wonder how we'd do trying to clear the waters of East Lake. (Answer: probably not well.) 'They're getting to play the course inside the ropes, and the full broadcast and all the production, but they're just as excited to see these guys play the course [Thursday] and all through the weekend,' said Chad Mumm, one of the creators of Netflix's 'Full Swing' and president of Pro Shop, a studio that develops original content like the Creator Classic. 'It's just so important for cultivating a healthy future for the fan base of the tour … The internet seems to be in love with what we're doing, and the engagement's been really good.' The Creator Classic ended up being one of the most dramatic finishes of the year on Tour, with four players competing on a single sudden-death playoff hole, in an absolute frog-strangler of a downpour, for $100,000. In the end, Good Good's Brad Dalke took home the title, soaked to the bone as he bro-hugged his way off the course. Golf is uniquely positioned to take advantage of the creator economy; no other sport combines the diversity of locales with the relatively low cost of entry. One tennis court looks pretty much like another, and racing is far too expensive for a casual creator, to cite two other individual-friendly sports. Baseball, basketball, football — none of those lend themselves to the combination of banter, skill and camera-friendly settings that golf does. This isn't the golf of Jack Nicklaus or Tiger Woods, true … but each one of those legends advanced the game far beyond where they found it, too. There's room for both creators and players in the game of golf, both metaphorically and literally. As several of the creators left the driving range, working their way through both a thicket of cameras and pros like Justin Thomas, one security guard nudged another and pointed at one of the creators, crowing loudly, 'He's internet famous!' A few years ago, that would have been a dismissive insult. Now, though, it sounds a whole lot like admiration.

Phillies' rotation, bats respond to Zack Wheeler IL news in historic fashion during sweep of Mariners
Philadelphia Phillies star right-handed pitcher Zack Wheeler landed on the injured list on Saturday. On Monday, he successfully underwent a thrombolysis procedure to remove a blood clot near his right shoulder. In the three games since that operation, the NL East-leading Phillies have responded to losing their ace indefinitely in historic fashion. Starting pitchers Ranger Suárez, Cristopher Sánchez and Jesús Luzardo combined for 34 strikeouts. Meanwhile, the Phillies' lineup collected 48 hits across a series sweep of the Seattle Mariners. Philadelphia has now won four games in a row, dating back to a Sunday's series finale against the Washington Nationals, and they have combined for 40 runs in that span. As for the Mariners series, it marks the first time Phillies starting pitchers have recorded at least 10 strikeouts in three straight games, at least since 1893 when the mound was moved to its current distance, according to Sarah Langs, who cited Elias Sports. Suárez, who notably notched a 1.36 ERA over a 10-start stretch from May 16 to July 5 before some recent struggles, stacked a season-high 10 Ks to kick off the series with the AL West-contending Mariners. Then both Sánchez and Luzardo pocketed 12 strikeouts. In the process, Sánchez — a NL CY Young candidate like Wheeler — matched his season high, and Luzardo reset his. The Phillies' bats accounted for 21 hits in a 12-7 win Monday, seven more in a 6-4 triumph Tuesday and then 20 more in an 11-2 shelling of the Mariners Wednesday. For the first time in the modern era, the Phillies had two games in the same series with 20-plus hits, according to The Athletic's Jayson Stark. Wednesday's offensive clinic was headlined by shortstop Trea Turner, who scattered five hits, and designated hitter Kyle Schwarber, who delivered his NL-leading 45th home run of the season and logged five RBI. Schwarber's 45 homers are the most by any Phillies player through the team's first 127 games in single-season franchise history, per Langs, who noted that Ryan Howard had 44 in that same span during the 2006 season, and Mike Schmidt had 39 through 127 games of the 1979 season. Wheeler's recovery timeline is up in the air. There's a very real scenario where the Phillies have to push for their first World Series title since 2008 without their top arm. But a rotation that was previously prepared to go six deep is already flexing its depth in Wheeler's absence. And the Phillies' lineup is roaring with offense as the MLB calendar rounds its home stretch.
