Scotland's National Game Is Golf. Rich Americans Are Changing It
The smiling faces of Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler and other millionaire champions beam out from the marketing material for next week's Scottish Open. 'This is Golf Country,' goes the tagline. But away from the sport's royalty and the glitz of venues such as US President Donald Trump's two resorts, the home of golf has little to smile about. For many working in the industry in Scotland, a simple equation is at play. There are two markets: one for North Americans with deep pockets, and one for the rest.

Stafford McDowall named to captain Scotland against the New Zealand Maori
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Center Stafford McDowall will captain Scotland in Saturday's match against the New Zealand Maori in Whangarei, New Zealand, the first match of Scotland's Pacific tour. McDowall played in all of Scotland's matches in the last Six Nations tournament in place of the injured Sione Tuipulotu. Scrumhalf George Horne and backrower Josh Horne have been named as vice-captains. Horne is the most-capped player in the Scotland lineup with 35 caps. McDowall will combine in midfield with Rory Hutchinson who was named in coach Gregor Townsend's squad in the absence of Matt Curry. Fullback Ollie Smith will play his first match for Scotland since the 2023 World Cup. Backrower Alexander Masibaka and New Zealand-born flyhalf Fergus Burke have been named on the bench to make their first appearances for Scotland. The match is not an official test. Maori coach Ross Filipo has made a handful of changes to the side which beat a Japan XV 50-23 in Tokyo last weekend. Crusaders lock Antonio Shalfoon will make his Maoris debut at lock while Chiefs center Daniel Rona joins the starting lineup at center. Blues back Corey Evans has been named on the bench. Scotland will play Fiji in Suva on July 12. ___ AP rugby:
