Three takeaways from LSU baseball's College World Series win vs. Arkansas
Three takeaways from LSU baseball's College World Series win vs. Arkansas LSU baseball started its College World Series with a 4-1 win over third-seeded Arkansas on Saturday in Omaha. With their ace Kade Anderson on the mound, the No. 6 Tigers took an early lead and didn't look back in the victory over their SEC rival. They finished with six hits in the low-scoring affair. Zach Root made the start for the Razorbacks, but he didn't make it out of the second inning. The All-SEC first teamer surrendered just two hits but couldn't land his pitches for strikes often enough as he was charged with the loss. Gabe Gaeckle pitched six innings of relief, giving up one run and striking out 10. In a matchup between the betting favorites to win the national championship, neither side could quite breakthrough following the Tigers' second inning outburst. They left eight runners on base but relied on their pitching staff to hold off Arkansas. Here are three takeaways from LSU's win over Arkansas from Charles Schwab Field. Anderson took control on the mound With an early lead, Anderson used his elite fastball-changeup combination to keep Arkansas hitters off balance and record another quality start. Through seven innings, the left-handed pitcher allowed just three hits and seven strikeouts. In what was expected to be a pitcher's dual against Root, Anderson got his stuff working throughout the contest. He responded after surrendering the lone run off a solo homer in the sixth by getting three strikeouts and three groundouts through the following two frames. Anderson's outing only furthered his case to be the No. 1 overall pick in the MLB Draft. Small ball in the second inning made the difference LSU couldn't find power in Saturday's contest as its top three hitters went a combined 0-13. In its three-run second inning, the Tigers resorted to small ball and hit just one ball out of the infield. Chris Stanfield drove in the first run with a single to left field, then Michael Braswell was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. With the bases loaded, Josh Pearson grounded a ball to shortstop to plate the third run of the frame. The Tigers kept the line moving by putting the ball in play and not overthinking their at bats against Arkansas' ace, which led him to exiting the game with two outs in the second. Bullpen turns in strong showing Following Anderson's exit, Chase Shores and Casan Evans held the Razorbacks off the score board to preserve the victory. Shores needed just 10 pitches to get through the frame and he touched 100 multiple times, a good sign for LSU as it advances in the College World Series field. 10 of Evans' 13 pitches were strikes in a crucial ninth inning. Despite surrendering a leadoff single, the true freshman picked up a strikeout and induced two groundouts to end the game. In the stellar outing for LSU's pitching staff, Arkansas only had three guys reach second base throughout the contest. Evans and Shores' efficiency means they'll both be available out of the pen on Monday.

Tyler Watts, 17, becomes youngest winner of Sunnehanna Amateur with record-breaking score
Saturday was the conclusion of the 84th Sunnehanna Amateur, and never in the event's history has there been a younger winner than Tyler Watts. The 17-year-old punctuated the biggest win of his career with a closing 6-under 64 to win by four shots at Sunnehanna Country Club in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, about an hour and a half from the site of this week's U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club. Watts fired consecutive 64s in the third and final round, and the 2026 Tennessee commit beat Boise State's Cole Rueck by four shots to win the first event of the Elite Amateur Golf Series. Advertisement Watts, who's ranked sixth in the AJGA rankings, carded five straight birdies on Nos. 4-8 to turn in 30 during the final round. He added a pair of birdies on the back nine, and one lone blemish on the card didn't change the result. His 19-under 261 mark is the lowest 72-hole score in the history of the Sunnehanna Amateur. "This is my first year here, and it's an honor to be able to walk away with the trophy," Watts told Ben Adelberg with The Back of the Range. "I just know after this week that there's a lot of history behind this tournament, and it's a true honor to win." Earlier this year, Watts finished T-6 in the Junior Invitational at Sage Valley and then T-5 at the Team TaylorMade Invitational earlier this month. Last year, he made the final of the U.S. Junior Amateur, falling 4 and 3 to soon-to-be Florida freshman Trevor Gutschewski, who played in the U.S. Open this week thanks to his win. Advertisement The Sunnehanna Amateur is the first of seven events in the Elite Amateur Golf Series, which features the top amateur events of the summer, concluding at the Western Amateur. Past Sunnehanna champions include Collin Morikawa, Rickie Fowler, Webb Simpson, Lucas Glover and more. The next event in the Elite Amateur Golf Series is the Northeast Amateur, which begins Wednesday, June 18 at Wannamoisett Country Club in Rhode Island.

Scottie Scheffler admits that bettors forced him to delete his Venmo account
Scheffler speaks to reporters ahead of the US Open at Oakmont Country Club. -Being the strong favorite to win a golf tournament isn't always an easy responsibility to bear. Just ask Scottie Scheffler, who has revealed that he was forced to close his Venmo account because of bettors staking money on his performance. Ahead of this week's US Open at Pennsylvania's Oakmont Country Club, for which Scheffler is the strong favorite, the world No. 1 explained how he often hears from fans who have a financial interest in where he finishes at tournaments. Advertisement 'That's why I had to get rid of my Venmo because I was either getting paid by people or people requesting me a bunch of money when I didn't win,' he told reporters. 'It wasn't a good feeling.' Asked about the biggest sum he had ever been sent as a thank you, Scheffler added: 'I don't remember the most that somebody would send me. Maybe a couple bucks here or there. That didn't happen nearly as much as the requests did.' Scheffler has never won a US Open, but he enters the tournament with three wins in his last four appearances, which includes winning a third major title at the PGA Championship last month. After suffering a freak hand injury while cooking Christmas dinner and spending time away from the game to recover, Scheffler's recent results signal a clear return to form. He underlined his dominance with a four-shot victory at the Memorial Tournament in his last outing, joining Tiger Woods as the only back-to-back winners of the event. Scheffler putts on the 10th hole during a practice round ahead of the US Open. - Charles LeClaire/Imagn Images/Reuters However, the 28-year-old said that he doesn't dwell on his status as a frequent pre-tournament favorite. Advertisement 'Starting Thursday morning, we're at even par and it's up to me to go out there and play against the golf course and see what I can do,' said Scheffler. Oakmont Country Club, which is hosting the US Open for a record 10th time, is a daunting prospect for even the world's best golfers, with fast greens and thick, unforgiving rough. Low scores are not expected this week, and Scheffler went as far as to call it 'probably the hardest golf course that we'll play maybe ever.' He added: 'When you talk about strength and power, I think that becomes more of a factor in these tournaments because, when you hit it into the rough, you've got to muscle it out of there.' Scheffler, seeking his fourth title of the year, tees off at 1:25 p.m. ET on Thursday in a group with Viktor Hovland and Collin Morikawa. For more CNN news and newsletters create an account at
