Montreal Alouettes aiming to continue their winning ways versus Ottawa Redblacks
There has been no place quite like TD Place for the Montreal Alouettes. Montreal (1-0) visits the Ottawa Redblacks (0-1) on Friday night. The Alouettes have not only won their last eight head-to-head meetings with their East Division rival but are riding a 10-game win streak at TD Place. And there's the matter of Montreal quarterback Davis Alexander sporting a 5-0 record as a CFL starter. Bo Levi Mitchell, currently of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, was the last quarterback to start 5-0 when he was with the Calgary Stampeders. Alexander, in his first full season as Montreal's starter, was 19-of-26 passing for 205 yards with a touchdown and interception in last week's season-opening 28-10 home win over Toronto. He also ran four times for 50 yards. Montreal converted on 14-of-24 second-down opportunities while rushing for 163 yards on 26 carries (6.3-yard average). That's noteworthy as last week all four opening-week winners were not only at home but also rushed for more yards than their opponents. A stout Montreal defence did its part, holding Toronto to 276 net offensive yards while forcing three turnovers (two interceptions, fumble recovery) in the contest. Ottawa opened its season with a 31-26 road loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Redblacks quarterback Dru Brown threw for 413 yards and two touchdowns, becoming just the fourth player ever to have 400 or more yards passing in three straight regular-season games, dating back to 2024. Brown is the first to do so since Calgary's Doug Flutie in '93 but has been limited in practice this week with a hip ailment. Justin Hardy (eight catches, 133 yards, TD) and Bralon Addison (eight catches, 112 yards) were Brown's favourite targets. Veteran Eugene Lewis had five receptions for 57 yards and a touchdown in his first game with the Redblacks. Lewis has recorded TD grabs in nine straight games dating back to last season with Edmonton. If he can do so versus Montreal, Lewis would tie Terry Evanshen's CFL record of 10 consecutive contests with a touchdown reception. Ottawa was a CFL-best 7-1-1 last season at TD Place. Pick: Montreal. —- B.C. Lions versus Winnipeg Blue Bombers (Thursday night) At Winnipeg, the Bombers open their season minus starter Zach Collaros, who will serve the one-game suspension he received last month from the CFL for failing to respond to an off-season drug-testing request. Veteran QB Chris Streveler starts but guard Pat Neufeld remains a game-time decision. Nathan Rourke was the league's offensive player of the week after passing for 324 yards and three TDs in leading B.C. (1-0) past Edmonton 31-14 but he's 0-3 lifetime versus the Bombers with three TDs and five interceptions. Lions head coach Buck Pierce returns to Manitoba, where he spent 10 seasons as an assistant and won two Grey Cups before being hired by B.C. Pick: B.C. —- Calgary Stampeders versus Toronto Argonauts (Saturday afternoon) At Toronto, the Argos (0-1) are 27-7 at BMO Field under head coach Ryan Dinwiddie, including 16-2 the past two seasons. But Calgary (1-0) is the only team Dinwiddie has a losing record against (3-4) and Stamps head coach/GM Dave Dickenson is 12-3 all-time versus the defending champions. Nick Arbuckle is expected to make a second straight start for Toronto ahead of Chad Kelly (leg). Stamps' starter Vernon Adams Jr. is 2-5 versus the Argos but has 14 TD passes in those matchups. He threw for 284 yards in last week's 38-26 home win over Hamilton with two interceptions. Pick: Toronto. —- Saskatchewan Roughriders versus Hamilton Tiger-Cats (Saturday night) At Hamilton, Mitchell again chases his 100th career regular-season win. He was 31-of-50 passing for 304 yards and a TD last week in Calgary. Over his last six starts, Mitchell is averaging 346 yards passing and is 12-6 versus the Riders. But last week the Ticats defence had no answer for the Stampeders' ground game (158 yards on 31 carries, three Dedrick Mills' TDs). Trevor Harris threw for 277 yards and two TDs in leading Saskatchewan (1-0) past Ottawa last week and is 9-5 versus Hamilton. This week, the club signed veteran running back Ka'Deem Carey, who ran for 1,060 yards last season with Toronto before surprisingly being released after training camp. Pick: Saskatchewan. NOTE — Last week's B.C.-Edmonton game marked just the 12th time in 5,395 CFL games that both teams started Canadian quarterbacks (Rourke for the Lions, Tre Ford for Elks). Last week: 3-1.

Kirby Smart, Georgia Add Another Recruiting Win as Surge Continues
Kirby Smart, Georgia Add Another Recruiting Win as Surge Continues originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Head coach Kirby Smart and the Georgia Bulldogs continue to bolster the class of 2026 during an important recruiting period. Advertisement The Bulldogs had yet to surpass 10 commitments in the 2026 cycle at this time last month. After a number of high-profile official visits, though, things have certainly picked up. Marking the fourth commitment over the last two weeks, Georgia received a pledge from in-state offensive lineman Zachary Lewis on Monday. Lewis (6-foot-4, 270 pounds) plays for North Gwinnett High School in Suwanee, Georgia, where he ranks as the No. 32 interior offensive lineman and the No. 53 player in the state (247Sports). Georgia coach Kirby Smart leads his team onto the field before the start of the SEC Championship Game at Mercedes-Benz L. Jones / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Georgia hosted Lewis on an official visit over the weekend after he previously took an official trip to in-state rival Georgia Tech on May 30. South Carolina and North Carolina were also in contention for Lewis before he announced his decision. Advertisement 'I've grown up a Dawgs fan and now I get to be a Dawg!" Lewis said via On3's Hayes Fawcett. The Bulldogs began the month of June by landing highly touted cornerback Justice Fitzpatrick, the brother of former Alabama Crimson Tide standout and current Pittsburgh Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick. Justice Fitzpatrick, out of St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, ranks as a top-100 recruit and the No. 8 player at his position. Additionally, Georgia landed four-star defensive lineman Carter Luckie on May 31 after receiving a pledge from four-star wide receiver Ryan Mosley three days earlier. Advertisement Now holding 13 commitments to date, Smart and Co. sit fifth nationally and have an inside track to finish with another top-five class. Georgia hasn't finished outside the top five in nine consecutive years under Smart.

KPMG Women's PGA: Ten years later, a look back on the rebirth of an LPGA major
KPMG Women's PGA: Ten years later, a look back on the rebirth of an LPGA major Somehow, there was room for only one more name on the LPGA Championship trophy when Inbee Park won in 2014. Former LPGA commissioner Mike Whan joked that they could just start adding check marks beside Park's name as she won three in a row, but it was only fitting that the trophy receive a new base, as everything about the LPGA's flagship major was about to get an overhaul, including the name. The 2025 KPMG Women's PGA Championship in Frisco, Texas, marks 10 years since the championship's rebirth. Not everyone was happy to see the LPGA's name drop from the championship's title in 2015, but no one can say that it wasn't the right move. 'It's gotta feel like a major,' said Stacy Lewis of what she hoped for the first KPMG Women's PGA in 2015. 'It's just got a certain feel about it ... we can feel it; fans can feel it.' Venues helped remake the KPMG Women's PGA From the start, the KPMG Women's PGA nailed the major championship aura. From historic courses, to the buildout, to the courtesy cars and network TV, what was once a floundering major suddenly compelled the rest to get better, too. The venues – Westchester Country Club, Hazeltine National, Atlanta Athletic Club and Baltusrol Golf Club, to name a few – brought the name recognition and gravitas that were missing from so many of the LPGA's big events. The KPMG Women's PGA purse has increased nearly 400 percent in the last decade to $10.8 million. Last year, 99 of the top 100 players in the current Race to CME Globe Rankings competed at Sahalee Country Club, where Amy Yang finally broke through in her 75th major championship start. Yang will be one of 14 past champions in the field next week at Fields Ranch East at PGA Frisco June 19-22, joined by the likes of Nelly Korda, Ruoning Yin, Hannah Green and In Gee Chun. This marks the first women's major ever held at Fields Ranch, a 660-acre campus that includes two 18-hole courses. The event is already slated to return to Frisco in 2031. 'The course is playing tough but still fair,' Yang told the media during a recent visit. 'I think it's going to test all aspects of your game.' KPMG Women's PGA brings commitment to LPGA For a tour that has been around since 1950, there's precious little history on the LPGA, which is why the PGA of America's commitment to host a women's major meant so much to a league that, at times, has held as few as two majors per season. When former PGA of America CEO Pete Bevacqua talked about the organization's commitment to the LPGA, he went far beyond the typical three- to five-year window, calling it a 50-year or 100-year decision. 'This is something that is going to change the tour,' Lewis predicted. 'It's going to change women's golf.' KPMG's initial involvement with the LPGA traces back to Lewis, who wore the logo and impressed John Veihmeyer, the auditing firm's then-global chair, in how she interacted with female leaders at sponsorship outings. Analytics helped to improve KPMG Women's PGA As the tournament took off, KPMG looked for other ways to improve the tour, thrusting its analytics expertise behind the creation of the KPMG Performance Insights technology platform. Last year, KPMG CHAMPCAST was added, giving fans the same ShotLink Pro technology used by the PGA Tour. (The U.S. Women's Open also uses a version of ShotLink.) The Performance Insights also utilize AI-powered predictive analytics for use in the broadcast and across digital channels. KPMG's success, however, hasn't been limited to what's happening inside the ropes. Tournaments up and down the LPGA schedule rushed to form their own version of the inspiring Women's Leadership Summit. A decade ago, KPMG first called on the CEOs of Fortune 500 companies to send women they believed would be next-generation C-suite leaders. Hundreds of women gathered on the eve of the inaugural KPMG Women's PGA in Rye, New York, to listen to some of the most successful and influential leaders in business, politics, sports and media, including former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, the event's keynote speaker. At one point during the inaugural summit, Donna Orender, former president of the WNBA and a member of the Summit's advisory council, stood up and asked a panel of athletes how the women in the room could support them. Lewis didn't hesitate. 'Go out and tell the world how good we are,' she said. Ten years later, it's a message and mission that hasn't changed.
