Chamblee fundraiser highlights the emotional and financial struggles of pediatric cancer

The Brief "Hops for Hope" fundraiser celebrated Sebi Tran's two-year remission from CNS Neuroblastoma and raised funds for the SebiStrong Foundation. SebiStrong Foundation provides hospital care kits, "Warrior Wagons," and financial support to families affected by childhood cancer. Pediatric cancer imposes significant emotional and financial burdens on families, often requiring parents to stop working during treatment. CHAMBLEE, Ga. - Supporters gathered Sunday afternoon at Hopstix Brewery in Chamblee for "Hops for Hope," a community fundraiser honoring 6-year-old Sebastian "Sebi" Tran's two-year remission from CNS Neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive pediatric brain tumor. The event marked Brain Cancer Awareness Month and raised funds for the SebiStrong Foundation, which Sebi's family launched to assist others navigating the hardships of childhood cancer. What they're saying Diagnosed at age three, Sebi underwent brain surgery, chemotherapy, and months of therapy to relearn basic functions like walking and talking. His recovery story has become a symbol of resilience, and his family's foundation now provides services such as hospital care kits, "Warrior Wagons," and financial support for affected families. "Three years ago, my son was diagnosed with brain cancer," said Sarah Tran, Sebi's mother and founder of the SebiStrong Foundation. "You try to find meaning in it, and for us, that meant giving back. We've been providing care packages and meals to families staying in hospitals, and financial assistance too." Tran emphasized the toll pediatric cancer takes on families, both emotionally and financially. "It has a huge financial burden, too. Most parents have to stop working during treatment," she said. "So it's important to think about financial ways to support these families." Local perspective The fundraiser drew supporters from across Chamblee and Brookhaven, offering an afternoon of community connection while raising awareness about an illness that affects roughly one in 285 children before the age of 20.

Is Scottie Scheffler developing an intimidation factor? We may find out at 107th PGA

Is Scottie Scheffler developing an intimidation factor? We may find out at 107th PGA CHARLOTTE, N.C. – After Scottie Scheffler rolled the field at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson two weeks ago, ESPN's Scott Van Pelt asked two-time U.S. Open champion Curtis Strange, winner of 17 PGA Tour titles, if he ever had shot 31 under. 'No. Thanks for asking, though,' Strange said. Scheffler's eye-popping total matched the low 72-hole score in a Tour event, matching a mark previously set by Justin Thomas and Ludvig Aberg before him. 'Thirty-one is pretty low,' Van Pelt said. 'Just trying to frame it appropriately.' 'Gosh. I don't think I ever shot 20-under. He's got me by 11,' Strange said. 'That's how good he is sometimes.' Scottie Scheffler's 2024 was like a Tiger Woods year Scheffler was an absolute beast in 2024, winning seven official events, including the Masters, the FedEx Cup and also an Olympic Gold medal. Not even two major championships for Xander Schauffele were enough to keep Scheffler from winning the PGA Tour Player of the Year title for a third consecutive year. It was Tigeresque. But until Scheffler laid down the hammer at the CJ Cup, he was winless this season after recovering from missing time due to hand surgery after an accident making ravioli on Christmas. Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee wondered if Scheffler is on the verge of becoming one of the rare players who can lap a field and his mere presence on a leaderboard can make golfers wilt under pressure. No one in the last 30 years could impose his will on the field the way Tiger Woods did. Chamblee wanted to figure out the cost of being paired with Tiger. In 2008 or 2009, he spent multiple days calculating the score of every player who had played with him on the weekend. 'It was something like 3 ½ shots,' Chamblee said on the podcast The Favorite Chamblee, a show he started recently with wife, Bailey. 'I remember one time, Billy Horschel said he couldn't wait to get paired with Tiger on the weekend in San Diego. I thought, OK, but it would be cheaper if you just bought a pro-am spot on Wednesday because that would cost you only $10,000-$15,000. But to get paired with Tiger Woods on Saturday or Sunday is going to cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars. You may gain from the experience, but it literally is going to cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars … and it did in this particular experience.' Nick Faldo, Seve Ballesteros also intimidating Chamblee counted Nick Faldo and Seve Ballesteros on the short list of intimidating players. 'It's intriguing to see a player become intimidating,' Chamblee said. 'Scottie's getting to a point now where he's so relentless and hits so many great shots – again, he's so congenial and so nice, but he is very competitive and he does, you get the sense, want to step on your throat where you're competing.' 'He's more like Jack Nicklaus than any player I can think of,' Chamblee added. For further proof of the Nicklaus intimidation factor, he told the rollicking story of Victor Regalado, who was paired with Jack Nicklaus one time. Regelado, a Mexican native who won once on Tour, was so nervous to play with the Golden Bear that he didn't sleep the night before. He was just hoping not to embarrass himself. On the front, he went shot-for-shot with Nicklaus and tied him at 2-under. He was hanging in there with the Great Jack Nicklaus. Standing on the 10th tee, Nicklaus came over and patted him on the back and said, 'Come on, let's get it together on the back nine. We both played like crap.' 'Except he didn't use the word crap,' Chamblee said. 'That was Jack at once being congenial and intimidating. Very few players get to a spot where their mere presence (causes players to collapse.)' Is Scheffler ascending to a spot in the game that his presence makes other players fold? Quail Hollow and the 107th PGA Championship could be another test of Chamblee's hypothesis. Scheffler, for one, knows he's riding a wave of momentum from his romp in Dallas two weeks ago. 'It would be silly to say that I can't ride the positive momentum from a good week like that,' he said. 'To finish off that tournament the way I did and have it not really be too close on the back nine, I played some really nice golf.'

Brandel Chamblee launches brutal attack on new target after vocal LIV Golf criticism

Brandel Chamblee, the former PGA Tour pro turned commentator, has been notably vocal over the past few years regarding his disapproval of the LIV Golf circuit. Last July, he went public to say: "LIV Golf has been detrimental to the competitiveness of (players') careers when they compete at the highest level." But this week, Chamblee's grievances found a new target: the LPGA tour and the setup at a key hole during the Chevron Championship. The seasoned analyst, who previously questioned Rory McIlroy's ability, expressed disappointment on social media about how the Jack Nicklaus Signature Course at The Club at Carlton Woods in The Woodlands, Texas , was presented. It comes after Bryson DeChambeau fumed over the course at LIV Mexico.

"Why is there a grandstand so close to the back edge of a closing hole par 5 that players can hit in two? "It allows players to bounce into the grandstands but also forces everyone all week to walk in the same area, no doubt chewing up the spot where players have to chip from." His comments came after a near-miss incident involving Ariya Jutanugarn, who narrowly avoided hitting a spectator, and then lost the championship in a playoff round. Chamblee elucidated his criticism, noting; "Ariya Jutanugarn's ball should have been off the back of the green some ten yards, leaving a basic chip, but instead was in a horrid lie from which she whiffed her chip and then lost in a playoff." Mao Saigo poses with the trophy after winning the Chevron Championship (Image: Getty Images) Mao Saigo ultimately clinched the victory, outplaying four competitors in the tense playoff, marking her inaugural win on the tour as 2024's LPGA Rookie of the Year seeks to make her presence known. Saigo claimed victory after a birdie on the first playoff hole. She excitedly shared, "I did my best to calm down and I shot and it went in." Jutanugarn was poised for triumph throughout the final round but stumbled with a bogey on the 18th hole. Reflecting on the game, she remarked, "The front nine was very solid especially with the eagle, but back nine just couple mistakes on par 5 that I made; two bogeys."

He hasn't shied away from critiquing those golfers who've recently defected to the breakaway LIV Golf series. "With the exception of DeChambeau, not one LIV player managed a top-five in a major in 2024," Chamblee aired his views on X last summer. Expanding on Bryson's season, he added, "Bryson is without a doubt one of the most compelling figures in the game, and his newfound engagement with the fans was a highlight of the major season, but on the whole LIV players were a huge disappointment in the 2024 majors."
