OC Air Show delays June 15 start in Ocean City, still hopes to have Blue Angels flight
With cloudy skies limiting visibility for pilots, the OC Air Show had still not started its June 15 slate by 1:30 p.m., but organizers were still hoping to salvage some kind of show for the many spectators. According to a photographer on the ground, a few planes had gone up to test the weather, but the very overcast skies were preventing the 1,000 feet cloud ceiling needed for the show to go on. It was announced to the crowd that the Growlers team would not be flying, but organizers were still hoping for at least a short flight from the marquee attraction, the U.S. Navy Blue Angels The next update from the Blue Angels about a possible flight by the elite Navy squad was expected at 2:30 p.m. BLUE ANGELS TALK ABOUT RETURN: U.S. Navy Blue Angels ready to showcase high-flying maneuvers at Ocean City's OC Air Show This article originally appeared on Salisbury Daily Times: OC Air Show delays June 15 start, still aims for Blue Angels flight

LIV Golf's Marc Leishman returns to majors, gets in the mix at U.S. Open
Marc Leishman's bunker shot splashed out of the sand, took four quick bounces and rolled straight into the hole for birdie on the long, par-3 eighth hole at Oakmont. Suddenly, a name that was once no stranger to leaderboards at majors was up there once again. Not bad for a player who had every reason to wonder if he'd ever get another chance to play in one, let alone contend. The 41-year-old Australian, whose departure to LIV Golf three years ago generated few headlines but changed his life completely, shot 2-under 68 at the U.S. Open on Saturday. He made five birdies over his first 12 holes to briefly get on the leaderboard before leaving the course six shots off the lead. "I've been playing some of the best golf of my career this year," said Leishman, who is coming off his first LIV win, at Doral in April, then earned one of four spots at a U.S. Open qualifier in Maryland this month. "The schedule sort of lends itself to be able to work on your game between tournaments, and I was really able to prepare for this tournament." This is Leishman's first major since the 2022 British Open. He is already exempt for this year's British Open based on a third-place finish at the Australian Open in December. His move to LIV, where tournaments do not qualify for points in the world ranking that help decide large chunks of the field in major events, left the six-time winner on the PGA Tour in limbo when it came to ever playing in golf's biggest events again. "You wonder, of course, if you're ever going to get in," Leishman said. "But there was certainly no regret. My life is as good as I've ever been right now." The $24.8 million Leishman has won since heading to LIV, to say nothing of the reduced schedule and the 54-hole tournaments, help explain that. What went missing were the all-but-automatic spots in golf's biggest tournaments that go to the PGA Tour's top performers. Leishman played in 39 of 41 majors between 2012-22. For a time, he had a knack for getting in the mix. His three top-10s at the British Open in the 2010s included a three-way tie for the lead after 72 holes in 2015, before losing in a playoff eventually captured by Zach Johnson. The Aussie played in the second-to-last group on Sunday at the 2013 Masters (with fellow Aussie and eventual winner Adam Scott). "I like tough courses," Leishman said. "I like courses that separate the field, when it really punishes bad shots and rewards good shots." He had his share of both on Saturday. Good: the bunker shot on 8, and a 300-yard fairway wood on the par-5 12th that set up birdie and got him to 2-over par. Bad: Three straight bogeys on 14-16, though he came back with a birdie on the drivable par-4 17th and par on No. 18. Leishman left the course tied for 15th, six shots out of first, with the leaders still early in their rounds Saturday. He's well aware that a top-four finish here would add the Masters to his 2026 schedule. Either way, he is at peace with the choices he made, and where that left him — which in this case is with a late starting time in the final round of a major again. "I really enjoyed sitting down with my kids and my mates watching the Masters and the PGA," Leishman said of the year's first two majors. "I'd be more happy if people were sitting down watching me."

Predicting the Ravens' stat leader for every major category in 2025
The Baltimore Ravens were among the league's best as a team in a number of different offensive and defensive rankings last season. From an individual perspective, they similarly had several players rank highly and produce career-best campaigns. As the 2025 season approaches, who will lead the Ravens in the major offensive and defensive statistical areas? Let's break it down with some early predictions. Passing Yards and Passing Touchdowns Prediction: QB Lamar Jackson Advertisement This is self-explanatory, as Jackson will undoubtedly lead the Ravens in every major passing category. The only question is how he'll follow up a historic statistical season in 2024, where he threw a career-best 41 touchdowns with only four interceptions and crossed the 4,000-yard passing mark — while completing 66% of his throws. There's only one possibility of Jackson not leading the team in each passing statistic, which is the worst-case scenario of an extended absence due to injury. Rushing Yards and Rushing Touchdowns Prediction: RB Derrick Henry Similar to above, it's a no-brainer that Henry will pace the Ravens in the major rushing statistical areas. Henry instantly became the team's workhorse last season and rushed for 1,921 yards with 16 touchdowns and a career-high 5.9 yards per carry. He may not be able to quite match these lofty numbers again in 2025, but Henry should once again thrive as the offense's bell cow. Justice Hill and Keaton Mitchell are more likely to exceed Henry's receiving production as third-down running backs, but will not come close to his rushing stats. Receiving Yards and Receptions Prediction: WR Zay Flowers Advertisement Flowers comfortably led the team in receiving yards last season, crossing the 1,000-yard threshold in his sophomore campaign while also catching a team-high 74 passes. Between him, Rashod Bateman, Mark Andrews, Isaiah Likely, and newcomer Deandre Hopkins, the Ravens have a lot of mouths to feed in the passing game. However, Flowers has become Jackson's go-to target, and he should continue to build upon his strong campaign in 2024. Flowers figures to continue leading the team in targets, which means he will also pace all pass-catchers in receptions as well. Even if his target share remains the same, Flowers combination of big-play ability and yards-after-the-catch prowess allow him to rack up receiving yardage. Receiving Touchdowns Prediction: TE Isaiah Likely This category is a tougher to predict. Andrews has now long been the team's leading receiving touchdown scorer. Even as his production declined a little in 2024, Andrews recorded a career-high 11 touchdown catches. However, the momentum for a breakout season from Likely continues to build and there very well may be a more even-split between the two at tight end in 2025. Likely caught his own career-best six touchdowns last year with a mix of red zone targets and long scores. He'd need a few more than that next season to match or exceed Andrews and Rashod Bateman's scoring to lead the Ravens in touchdown catches. Jackson may spread the ball around enough for that to happen as his chemistry and connection with Likely takes another step forward. Total Tackles Prediction: ILB Roquan Smith Advertisement It's hard to pick anyone other than Smith, who has long been one of the NFL leaders in total tackles year after year. Last season, he led the Ravens in this category with 154 tackles — well ahead of Kyle Hamilton in second with 107. Smith is heavily involved in all defensive action as the team's anchor in the middle of the field. Tackles for Loss Prediction: DT NNnamdi Madubuike Kyle Van Noy led the team in tackles for loss (TFL) last season with 14, which was the best mark of his career. In 2023, Madubuike's 12 TFL ranked No. 1 on the defense during his breakout season two years ago. Madubuike had only one less tackle for loss last year with 11, so his production in this area has been stable for consecutive seasons now. The two-time Pro Bowler has become a disruptive force, but the Ravens will need him to be especially consistent and wreak havoc this coming season. With Michael Pierce gone, Madubuike is now the veteran leader of the defensive line group. Sacks and Quarterback Hits Prediction: EDGE Odafe Oweh Advertisement Van Noy was also the defensive leader in sacks with another career-high total of 12.5. He ranked two quarterback hits behind Oweh, who racked up a team-high 23. Van Noy should be productive once again but at 33 years old, the Ravens may opt to ration his snaps a bit to keep him fresh later in the season — especially with a plethora of young edge rushers behind him on the depth chart. Oweh appears primed to take another step forward and build upon his 10-sack performance in 2024. He was only 2.5 sacks behind Van Noy last year, so it's not a high mountain to climb for him to lead this category. Interceptions Prediction: S Kyle Hamilton All-Pro cornerback Marlon Humphrey had a career-high six interceptions last season which led all defenders. He was the only player on the Ravens with more than two. However, while Humphrey is a great playmaker, this interception total was a bit of an outlier. as his previous single-season best was three and he totaled six interceptions combined in the previous four seasons from 2020-2023. Hamilton had only one interception last season but recorded four in 2023; and he could have had more in 2024 if not for a couple of drops. Advertisement More from
