Scottie Scheffler wins BMW Championship, matches Tiger Woods' 18-year-old stunning feat
Scottie Scheffler produced a spectacular finish to capture the BMW Championship on Sunday, chipping in from 82 feet for birdie on the 17th hole to seal a two-shot victory over Scotland's Robert MacIntyre . The victory marked Scheffler's fifth PGA Tour title of the season, making him the first player since Tiger Woods (2006-07) to win at least five times in back-to-back years. The World No. 1 carded a three-under 67 at Caves Valley to close at 15-under 265, rallying from four shots behind at the start of the day. — PGATOUR (@PGATOUR) Already a two-time Masters champion, Scheffler also owns this season's British Open and PGA Championship titles, further cementing his place as favorite to defend his FedEx Cup crown next week in Atlanta. Scheffler's decisive moment came at the par-three 17th, where he overshot the green and landed in the rough. His recovery pitch landed on the fringe, rolled across the green, and dropped for birdie - restoring his two-shot cushion after MacIntyre had pulled within one. Live Events — PGATOUR (@PGATOUR) "It looked good when it landed, it looked good when it was rolling and it was nice to see that one go in," Scheffler said. MacIntyre, seeking a wire-to-wire win after leading through three rounds, faltered with three bogeys in his first five holes. He rallied with a birdie at 16 to put pressure back on Scheffler but could not recover from his slow start. — PGATOUR (@PGATOUR) The win also confirmed Scheffler's place atop the US Ryder Cup points list, with automatic berths going to JJ Spaun , Xander Schauffele , Russell Henley, Harris English and Bryson DeChambeau. — PGATOUR (@PGATOUR) Scheffler has now posted 17 consecutive sub-par rounds on tour, crediting his focus and intensity. "I try not to take shots off. Today was a grind," he said. The BMW was the second FedEx Cup playoff event, narrowing the field to 30 players for the Tour Championship at East Lake.

'The problem with Virat Kohli ... ': Ex-India cricketer exposes star batter's struggles
Virat Kohli (AFP Photo) NEW DELHI: Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan has responded to criticism directed at him for his remarks on Virat Kohli 's batting, particularly surrounding the star batter's retirement from Test cricket in May after a disappointing series in Australia in 2024-25. Kohli managed just 190 runs in nine innings during the series, despite scoring a century in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

I thought that when a player of big stature undergoes their first slump, then they should be backed. If you look at my social media, I backed him a lot. One, he deserved it, and won a lot of matches. If the slump continues for five years, then it's not right," Pathan told Lallantop. Poll Do you agree with Irfan Pathan's criticism of Virat Kohli's batting performance? Yes, he is right No, he is too harsh Pathan stressed that the team's success must always remain the priority. "Eventually, the team has to be at the top. Team is No. 1; we play for the team, we play to win games. If a batsman gets out in a similar manner, the opposition team plans accordingly. They won't go to plan B. They will get you out using plan A. If you're a champion player, then you've to take them from plan A to plan B. The problem with Virat in Test cricket was that he was getting out similarly every now and then. That doesn't mean he's a bad player; he's a champion player, but it's happening. You've to explain what you are seeing in detail," he said Virat Kohli, Ravi Shastri & India's Pace Revolution | Bharat Arun Reveals Untold Team India Stories The former cricketer also elaborated on his role as a commentator, underlining that his accountability lies with the fans: "See, I believe that as a broadcaster, when the commentary is going on and the fans are watching the match, you have to go ahead of the visuals and speak about what's happening. The broadcaster and commentator's work is - what is happening and why it is happening. What can happen and how? If a player is doing exceptionally well, you praise him, and if they are not performing well, then criticize him. The commentators' responsibility is towards the fans, not players.
