Texas ex Scottie Scheffler eyes U.S. Open glory at Oakmont after PGA Championship Triumph
Texas ex Scottie Scheffler eyes U.S. Open glory at Oakmont after PGA Championship Triumph Scheffler helped lead the Longhorns to NCAA prominence in the golf field. Scottie Scheffler enters the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont Country Club riding a wave of dominance that has the golf world taking notice—and the oddsmakers making history. After a relatively slow start to the season by his lofty standards, Scheffler has surged to win three of his last four events, including victory at the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow last month. The former Texas Longhorn has now held the world No. 1 ranking for 107 consecutive weeks and is a strong contender for what would be a record-tying fourth straight PGA Tour Player of the Year award. Scheffler's recent run is drawing comparisons to Tiger Woods, the gold standard of professional golf excellence. Woods remains the only player in recent memory to have enjoyed a stretch as dominant as Scheffler's current form. Scheffler is not just headlining the field at Oakmont—he is the overwhelming favorite. According to BetMGM, his +275 odds to win are the shortest for any player in a major since Woods in 2009. Trailing Scheffler in the betting are defending U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau, 2025 Masters winner Rory McIlroy, and two-time major champion Jon Rahm. Oakmont, widely considered one of the toughest courses in the world, presents a stern test for the field. The last time the U.S. Open was held here in 2016, only six players finished even or under par. Scheffler, then an amateur and student at Texas, made his major championship debut at Oakmont that year. He shot a one-under 69 in the opening round but followed with a 78 on Friday, missing the cut by a single stroke. 'I remember coming here and thinking it was really fun, really cool to be playing in the U.S. Open,' Scheffler said Tuesday in a pre-tournament press conference. 'You know, it was my first major and it was maybe my third start on the pro tour at the time ... It definitely made me excited to get out here for real because it was a really fun week. Obviously, I had a really good first round. I didn't play as well in the second, and that was a tough pill to swallow, missing the cut by one.' The question asked to Justin Thomas was simple. 'What is Scottie Scheffler doing that is so special, what do you say?' 'What is he doing?' Thomas responded, during his pre-tournament press conference at the U.S. Open. 'Well, everything.' You've heard that refrain before.… — (@GOLF_com) June 10, 2025 Scheffler's game has matured since that first U.S. Open appearance. He now boasts the best birdie-to-bogey ratio on the PGA Tour this season, a testament to his consistency and composure under pressure. As he prepares for another test at Oakmont, Scheffler remains focused on his own game, despite the growing chatter around his status as the betting favorite. '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,' Scheffler said. Scheffler will tee off alongside Collin Morikawa and Viktor Hovland at 1:25 p.m. ET on Thursday as he seeks his second major title of the season—and perhaps another step toward golf history.

College World Series 2025 team rankings: The eight teams in Omaha from best to worst
College World Series 2025 team rankings: The eight teams in Omaha from best to worst Show Caption Hide Caption Which NCAA baseball teams could blow up the bracket The Montgomery Advertiser's Adam Cole and The Southwest Times Record's Jackson Fuller break down who could wreck the tournament bracket. The group of teams set to descend on Omaha, Nebraska, for the premier event in college baseball is an intriguing mix of longtime powers and recent upstarts. Perhaps the most curious fact is this – none of the eight participants in this year's College World Series made it there last year. That is not to say there is no tradition of winning among the participants. Five of the eight programs have earned titles within the last 13 years. The list of past champions, however, does not include the team that should probably be considered the favorite to claim the crown this season. Here's how we'd rank the Omaha eight, bearing in mind as always that at this juncture any of them could win the whole thing. No. 1 Arkansas Will this 12th trip to the CWS finally be the year that the first championship will be coming home to Fayetteville with the Razorbacks? Arkansas look to be the most complete team of the group, with the right mix of fire power at the plate and pitching depth to succeed on the big stage. They've dominated in the postseason, winning all five games with a combined margin of 41-13. No. 2 Coastal Carolina Built around superb pitching and timely run support, the Chanticleers are anything but underdogs in this field despite playing outside the Power Four conferences. The program hasn't been back to Omaha since its groundbreaking run to the title in 2016, but this year's version is more than capable of capturing that magic once again. Coastal enters this round on a 23-game winning streak and proved its mettle in sweeping Auburn on the road last weekend. DIVERSE FIELD: College World Series highlights what college sports is about No. 3 LSU Historically the most accomplished squad here, the Tigers have the bats to add an eight trophy to their collection in Baton Rouge. They also boast two excellent starters - Kade Anderson and Anthony Eyanson - and reliever Zac Cowan. Being in the same half of the bracket as Arkansas is the biggest obstacle, but it also creates a first game should be appointment viewing Saturday night. No. 4 UCLA It's been a while for the Bruins, who haven't been back to Omaha since claiming the program's first baseball title in 2013. The pitching staff - in particular starter Michael Barnett - has answered the bell thus far in the postseason, which should continue to serve the team well at Charles Schwab Field where runs can be hard to come by. No. 5 Oregon State The Beavers represent the Pac-12's old guard as well as the league's future. In the here and now though, the decision to make a go of it as an independent in 2025 has worked out well. They were forced to travel for the majority of games and that experience helped shape them for difficult challenges when facing elimination in both the regionals and super regionals. Oregon State might not have the number of proven bullpen arms as others in this field, but it has power throughout the lineup, led by 2B Aiva Arquette, and are never out of a game. No. 6 Louisville The super regionals were not nearly as good for the ACC as the earlier rounds, as the Cardinals are the only squad among the league's five entries to survive the second weekend. But now that they've reached the CWS for the sixth time in program history and first since 2019, they might have what it takes to claim their initial title. The outfield duo of Lucas Moore and Zion Rose leads the offense. Louisville's pitching has been outstanding in the postseason and could propel a run to the championship series. No. 7 Arizona Credit the Wildcats for getting off the deck after being bludgeoned for 18 runs in their series opener at North Carolina. They then rallied late in the next two games to knock off the No. 1 team in the coaches poll. Arizona is a program full of championship pedigree. This is its 18th trip to Omaha. The Wildcats play sound defense in the field and are capable of putting up a high run total themselves, but they must avoid more meltdowns from the mound like that opener against the Tar Heels last week. No. 8 Murray State The Racers, just the fourth No. 4 regional seed to make it all the way to Omaha, are sure to be fan favorites. The thing they do best is hit. They rank 11th in score and have generated 70 runs in seven tournament games. But the fact that they're made it this far indicates they can get key outs when needed as well. Going through the loser's bracket may be difficult but anything is possible if Murray State can win early and save arms.

J.J. McCarthy minicamp reps may not induce headlines — but that's OK (and intentional)
EAGAN, Minn. — The second mandatory minicamp practice had just finished, and there was the Minnesota Vikings' new center Ryan Kelly, cradling his helmet next to the field and saying things like, 'This is the most talented team I've ever been around top to bottom.' You really feel that way? 'Oh yeah,' Kelly said. 'It's impressive.' Advertisement His former team, the Colts, hasn't had the rosiest recent past. Indianapolis only made the playoffs twice in Kelly's nine-year tenure with the club, but still, this observation means something. The 32-year-old knows his way around a locker room. He's played for multiple coaches, snapped the ball to plenty of quarterbacks and rubbed shoulders with almost every type of teammate. Kelly saying this was — at the bare minimum — internal validation of the widely held external beliefs about these Vikings. With elite talent comes immense responsibility, especially at quarterback. There is a reason J.J. McCarthy is a popular talking point in the NFL universe. There is a reason he is deserving of space right here. His burden is large. These Vikings, built to go further than was realistically possible in years past, will succeed or fail with the youngster. Kelly understands that. 'I think that's also why I'm here,' he said. He's right. Kelly's presence is just one of the countless steps taken by coach Kevin O'Connell and general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah to maximize what's possible. It's not that former Vikings center Garrett Bradbury didn't have experience, especially within Minnesota's system. Kelly, though, is both a better player and a key cog who has worked with different quarterback personalities, skill sets and experience levels. Andrew Luck, Jacoby Brissett, Philip Rivers, Matt Ryan, Anthony Richardson and others require varying degrees of assistance. One might suspect Kelly would be spending these practices passing tidbits to McCarthy. He's not. This, too, is calculated. Why make things easy when there is no report card? Why not challenge McCarthy to assess all of the potential defensive looks? Why not evaluate what it looks like when he has to take everything in, then spit out play calls with lengthy verbiage? Why not ask him to adjust protections and try to get the offense into the right play? Advertisement Why remove an aspect of traditional development simply because you have a center who can serve as a backstop? 'If you never have to do all of this,' Kelly said, 'you're looking through it like a tiny lens. In order to see the full picture, you have to have coaches who demand that of you. His development to understand is more important than me showing how capable I am. We want to push this guy, and he's responded incredibly well. He's a very smart guy.' The extent of the demands is partially why O'Connell scoffs at those who track McCarthy's results on days like these. McCarthy may progress from the front side of a concept to the back side and hit a receiver in stride, but could he have identified something in the coverage that would have quickened his progression? McCarthy may drill a receiver running a go route, but did he make that throw because the play call required so many words that he couldn't get it off in time? 9️⃣ to 3️⃣ 🎯🎯 — Minnesota Vikings (@Vikings) June 10, 2025 This mental stress is but a fraction of what it'll feel like on Sundays in the fall. It's also just one component of the full picture that allows the most successful quarterbacks to thrive. There is the physical piece, encompassing everything from lower-half mechanics to the touch applied to throws upon release. The Vikings have never questioned McCarthy's sheer arm strength. They're looking for progress in his ability to induce an arc on the ball. There is the cognitive piece, the split-second decision-making process after the snap. Can you visualize the defense's structure and pull the trigger at the right time? Can you do it with 300-pound men bearing down on you in 2 1/2 seconds? There is also the psychological piece. Navigating real-world stressors and in-game trials calls for a sense of calm. Advertisement Each piece affects the other. Sounds easy, right? 'I think (J.J.) is right where he needs to be right now,' offensive coordinator Wes Phillips said Wednesday. 'And right where we thought he'd be. I don't think he'd come up here and say he mastered the offense. Every rep is a learning rep.' Every one of these days is an integral learning day, as cliched as that sounds, or as mundane as it looks. Although the Vikings shifted from organized team activities last week to minicamp this week, the speed of the drills remained the same. McCarthy has not taken one snap in an 11-on-11 setting with defensive coordinator Brian Flores' pass rush coming at him with its collective hair on fire. That doesn't mean Kelly, offensive line coach Chris Kuper, quarterbacks coach Josh McCown and O'Connell aren't conferring after practice about the next test they think would be valuable for McCarthy. That doesn't mean these opportunities aren't the ones that will allow all of the pieces of the puzzle to come together as smoothly as possible when it matters most.
