Rockies hilariously slam Scottie Scheffler, troll themselves after winning first series of the season
The Colorado Rockies are finally better than Scottie Scheffler.
After a brutal month where the top-ranked golfer in the world somehow managed to keep up with a professional baseball team, the Rockies are back on top — and they're laughing at themselves perfectly.
The Rockies, amid a historically awful start, swept the Miami Marlins this week . Their win on Tuesday night officially gave them their first series win of the season, which snapped a league-worst 22-series losing streak dating back to last fall, and Wednesday's win gave them their longest winning streak of the year.

While they are still objectively terrible — they sit at just 12-50, which is by far the worst record in Major League Baseball — the Rockies are now beating Scheffler. That wasn't the case in May.
Scheffler has been on a dominant run on the PGA Tour. He flew ahead to a massive win at The CJ Cup Byron Nelson early in May, and then won the PGA Championship in his next start to claim his third career major championship. Then, after a T4 finish at the Charles Schwab Challenge, Scheffler won the Memorial Tournament on Sunday.
Over that span, the Rockies also won just three times.
The key difference is that Scheffler made just four starts on Tour. The Rockies played 26 games.

While that led to plenty of jokes for the Rockies, they weren't the only target. The Tour even trolled the Carolina Panthers briefly, though they deleted the posts, after Scheffler picked up his 15th career win since 2022.
Though the Rockies are flying high on their win streak, there's one important thing to note here. Scheffler has yet to tee it up since they started winning. If they can't bank a few more wins before the U.S. Open starts next week, and Scheffler's run continues, the Rockies may find themselves back in the same position later this month.
Hey, at least they're laughing with the rest of us.

PGA Tour rookie goes low to share Canadian Open lead
PGA Tour rookie Cristobal Del Solar and Denmark's Thorbjorn Olesen each posted a nine-under-par 61 to share the first-round lead at the Canadian Open. Olesen and Chilean Del Solar took full advantage on Thursday of TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley in the venue's PGA Tour debut. They own a one-shot lead over Cameron Champ. Jake Knapp is alone in fourth at seven-under 63. Shane Lowry of Ireland went out in five-under 30 on his way to a round of 64. He is tied for fifth with Denmark's Rasmus Hojgaard and Trey Mullinax. The low Canadian for the day was Taylor Pendrith (65), who set the clubhouse lead in the morning wave before several players passed him by. Defending champion Robert MacIntyre of Scotland is among the several golfers knotted with him in eighth place at five under. Harrison Endycott (67) is the highest-placed Australian, while Aaron Baddeley made a 70. The only other Australian in the field, Karl Vilips, shot a three-over 73 and like Baddeley (tied 96th) will struggle to make the cut. Del Solar birdied 10 of his first 16 holes to pass Olesen for the outright lead and threaten a score of 59. However, he failed to get up and down from the bunker at the par-4 17th hole and took his only bogey of the day. He missed a 15-foot putt for birdie for the outright lead at No.18. Del Solar's claim to fame is a round of 57 he shot on the Korn Ferry Tour in February last year. It was the lowest round ever recorded in a PGA Tour-sanctioned tournament. Olesen, meanwhile, has eight wins on the DP World Tour but is seeking his first title in the United States. Two-time Canadian champion Rory McIlroy is in danger of missing the cut after shooting a one-over 71, which he ended with consecutive bogeys at Nos.8 and 9. The Northern Irishman is playing for the first time since a T47 finish at the PGA Championship.
