Scheffler primed to win first U.S. Open
OAKMONT, Pa (WKBN) – Scottie Scheffler is currently ranked number one according to the Official World Golf Rankings and has his eyes on the 125th U.S. Open Golf Championship at Oakmont Country Club next. Watch above for an interview with Scheffler and highlights from his practice rounds! 'I remember coming here and thinking that was really fun, really cool to be playing the U.S. Open,' said Scheffler. 'It's my first major and was maybe my third start on the pro tour at the time, those are very cool experiences.' Scheffler's best performance at the U.S. Open came in 2022 as he tied for 2nd with Will Zalatoris. 'This golf course, there's not many trees out there, but there's so many bunkers,' said Scheffler. 'I don't really know if there's a golf course you can necessarily just overpower with kind of a bomb and gouge type of strategy, especially with the way the rough is. You have to play the angles.' The 125th U.S. Open is Scheffler's seventh time playing the tournament. Scheffler first qualified for the tournament in 2016 and was a low amateur in 2017. 'This is probably the hardest golf course that we'll play, maybe ever, and I mean, that's pretty much all it is,' said Scheffler. The World No. 1 ranked golfer already has won three tournaments in 2025. His wins this year include the 2025 PGA Championship in May at Quail Hollow Club. 'I'm going to try to hit the green, whether it's a three-order driver from that back tee, it depends on wind direction, but basically you're going to try to get the ball in the green and two putt,' said Scheffler. Scheffler tees off on hole one at 1:25 p.m. Thursday, June 12. Interviews courtesy of Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Former Chicago Sky guard Allie Quigley officially retires after 3-year hiatus, will have jersey retired
After a three-year hiatus from the WNBA, 3-point shooting star Allie Quigley made her retirement official in The Players Tribune on Tuesday. She last played for the Chicago Sky in 2022, which will now go down as the guard's 14th and final season in the W. "I just took the 2023 season off … then I took the 2024 season off … then I took the 2025 season off….. you get the idea," Quigley wrote. "But all jokes aside, I never actually meant to do an Irish goodbye." Advertisement On Wednesday, the Sky announced they will retire Quigley's No. 14 jersey on July 9 against the Dallas Wings. It's the first jersey Chicago will retire in its 20-year franchise history. Quigley played for the Sky from 2013-22 and became a four-time 3-point shootout champion, three-time All-Star and two-time Sixth Woman of the Year along the way. The former DePaul standout also helped Chicago win its first WNBA championship in 2021, alongside Kahleah Copper, Candace Parker and her wife Courtney Vandersloot. Following that season, Quigley considered riding off into the sunset. "But after thinking about it a little more, I realized I actually wanted to savor the end of my career," Quigley wrote in The Players Tribune. "I wanted the experience of walking into each arena and knowing it might be the last time I'd ever play there. And I wanted the experience of trying to defend our championship that we worked so hard for, for so long. So that's what I did. I didn't tell a lot of people, but I played in 2022 thinking it would probably be my last season. I really, truly soaked it all in." Courtney Vandersloot and her wife, Quigley, warm up ahead of a matchup in 2022 — Quigley's final season.

Chicago bowed out in the WNBA semifinals to the Connecticut Sun that season. Advertisement Even then, Quigley didn't officially retire. Quigley shifted her focus to motherhood, initially thinking that she'd have a child and then leave the door open to play one more season. Quigley wrote in The Players Tribune that it took her longer to get pregnant than she first expected. She eventually gave birth to her and Vandersloot's daughter Jana Christine in April this year. It was then that she was ready to finally say goodbye to the WNBA. Before finding her place in the league with the Sky, Quigley went from one WNBA team to the next, spending time in Phoenix, Indiana, San Antonio and Seattle. Quigley averaged 10.9 points per game during her career, plus shot a blistering 39.4% from deep. She was the Sky's all-time leading scorer until last month when who else but Vandersloot surpassed her on that list. Vandersloot, however, suffered a season-ending ACL tear over the weekend.

ESPN believes that Notre Dame football will be a top-5 team over the next few seasons
ESPN believes that Notre Dame football will be a top-5 team over the next few seasons We all say that Notre Dame's football future is bright, and on Wednesday ESPN's Adam Rittenberg backed that idea up. When looking ahead to who he believes will be the top teams over the next two seasons, he ranked the Irish as his No. 5 team. It's a slight jump from last year, when Notre Dame was No. 7, for more than a few reasons. Rittenberg went on the explain that while the Irish aren't returning their starting quarterback, they should have a multiple year starts whoever (CJ Carr or Kenny Minchey) wins the job. He believes that the offensive line 'should be one of the nation's most talented groups,' along with the defensive line being loaded with talent despite having to replace more on this side of the ball. He lauds head coach Marcus Freeman's roster management, noting that the transfer additions will help immediately and 'retaining arguably the nation's best running back room and its gifted young offensive linemen.' Rittenberg mentions Notre Dame's star power also, as running back Jeremiyah Love, linebackers Drayk Bowen, cornerback Leonard Moore and safety Adon Shuler should be household names. As far as the coaching staff, Rittenberg has Freeman 'as one of the sport's top young coaches,' but did say that new defensive coordinator Chris Ash has 'big shoes' to fill replacing Al Golden. Put all this together, Notre Dame has one of the brighter immediate futures in college football, as just four others teams are viewed as being potentially better. It's going to a be a great few years of Irish football, starting very soon.
