Messi's brilliance continues with 2 goals; Inter Miami beat Columbus 5-1
Inter Miami was in a midseason slump just a week ago. Lionel Messi made sure it didn't last long. Messi scored for the fifth time in three Major League Soccer matches to help Inter Miami rout the Columbus Crew 5-1 on Saturday night for its second straight win. Messi played a role each of Miami's goals. He scored twice in the 15th and 24th minutes giving him 10 goals this season, which leads his team and is tied for third in MLS. He set up Tadeo Allende's goal in the 13th, Faf Picault's in the 89th and was also involved in Luis Suarez's score in the 64th. That makes it two straight matches that the eight-time Ballon d'Or winner has recorded at least two goals and an assist. His 16 goal contributions are the most in the league. I see him every game. We see the same thing," Miami coach Javier Mascherano said through an interpreter. "We try to help him as much as we can. ... Clearly he is the best player that has ever played this game. And we have to understand that when he is not brilliant, that's because one of us is failing. That's the reality. Miami was the more aggressive team early. The Herons had seven shots four on goal in the first 25 minutes against a Columbus team that does not give up many. The Crew entered Saturday ranked eighth in MLS with just 19 goals allowed. Allende opened the scoring with a cross-body finish set up by Messi's long ball over the top. A few minutes later, Messi took advantage of a poor decision by goalkeeper Nicholas Hagen and lofted the ball over despite the keeper getting a hand on it. On Messi's second goal, Sergio Busquets set up his former Barcelona teammate for the second straight game, sending a long pass to a streaking Messi for an easy finish over Hagen. It was an important win for Miami, which entered Saturday with just two wins in its past eight matches and was sixth in the Eastern Conference. Miami beat Montreal 4-2 on Wednesday, and Saturday's win over Columbus put last year's Supporters' Shield winner in a tie for third place with 29 points in their final match before the start of next month's Club World Cup. Winning this way gives us confidence, Mascherano said. It shows that we're brave and calm and can play against anybody, especially in the MLS. The tournament is another story. The rivals are are different level. Miami will face Al Ahly of Egypt on June 14 at Hard Rock Stadium, the home stadium of the NFL's Miami Dolphins. Before that, Messi will join the Argentina national team for World Cup qualifiers against Chile on June 5 and Colombia on June 10. Saturday was the second match of the season between Columbus and Miami, winners of the last two League's Cup tournaments. Inter Miami also beat Columbus to win the Supporters' Shield in 2024. They were the only remaining undefeated teams in MLS when they met in front of a record crowd of 60,614 fans to Huntington Bank Field on April 19. It was a single-game record for a Crew home match and the largest non-NFL event in stadium history. Miami won 1-0. Columbus made it 3-1 when Dylan Chambost's corner was headed home by Cesar Ruvalcaba against goalkeeper Rocco Ros Novo, who replaced Oscar Ustari in the second half. Mascherano said Ustari was experiencing discomfort in his leg and the team didn't want to risk an injury. Suarez restored Miami's three-goal lead with his second goal in as many matches. And Messi fed a through ball to Picault in the closing minutes, stamping one of Miami's most dominant wins of the MLS season. Miami played without veteran left back Jordi Alba, who suffered a lower-body injury against Montreal on Wednesday.

The Memorial leaderboard: Who missed the cut?
USA TODAY and Yahoo may earn commission from links in this article. Pricing and availability subject to change. Five days after winning his first individual title on the PGA Tour, which was his second win following a team victory a month ago, Ben Griffin kept things rolling with a 7-under 65 to kick start his 2025 Memorial Tournament. Griffin is still 7 under after an even-par 72 during Friday's second round, but he's got some company in the form of Nick Taylor, who is also at 7 under. Advertisement Here's a look at what happened on Friday. Memorial Tournament leaderboard Keep up with the latest scores on our official PGA Tour leaderboard. What was the cut at the Memorial? The Memorial features a 36-hole cut to the Top 50 plus ties as well as any player within 10 strokes of the lead. The cut line moved from 4 over par to 5 over par after Cameron Young bogeyed No. 18. The top 50 players plus ties (and anyone within 10 shots of the leader) qualified for the weekend. Who missed the cut? These players missed the cut this weekend: Matthieu Pavon (+6) J.J. Spaun (+6) Sahith Theegala (+7) Chris Kirk (+7) Christiaan Bezuidenhout (+8) Aaron Rai (+9) Joe Highsmith (+9) Daniel Berger (+9) J.T. Poston (+9) Brian Harman (+10) Byeong Hun An (+11) Lucas Glover (+11) Cam Davis (+12) Brian Campbell (WD) Scottie Scheffler is at 2 under How easy is this game? Scottie Scheffler explained his resiliency after a tough double-bogey on No. 10 during Friday's round. Advertisement "If I get up there and make a poor swing because I'm frustrated, that's going to make me even more frustrated, so I might as well try and make a good swing. It's really just as simple as that," he said. Scheffler is 2 under.

Mandatory Credit: Aaron Doster-Imagn Images Sam Burns was looking to get caddie Travis Perkins a little something special for him on his birthday on Friday. He did so by shooting a 65 and getting back into contention at the Memorial, meaning the pair will enjoy a later tee time on Saturday. Burns was four shots off the lead as of 4:30 p.m. "It's always fun to try to get him a little extra sleep tomorrow," Burns said of Perkins. "But, yeah, I think other than the rain the golf course being soft I think helps a lot. Typically this place, especially the greens, get really firm and you have to be really precise, kind of going into the greens where you're landing in. I think if you drove it well and got in position you could be a little more aggressive, and I think we did a good job of kind of attacking when we could, and then trying to fight for par whenever we were out of position." Nick Taylor, Collin Morikawa making moves Nick Taylor is off to a great start on Friday, going 4 under through the first 13 holes of play to get to the top of the leaderboard at 7 under. Collin Morikawa is also off and running, as he used birdies on two of his first three holes to also get to 7 under. Justin Rose enjoying strong second day The 2010 Memorial Tournament winner, now playing in his 16th tournament here, is pacing for the second-best second day of this year's tournament. After shooting a 78 on the first day, Rose is 6 under par through 15 holes in the second round to climb back to par. Advertisement Rose opened the day with a bogey on the first hole but recorded an eagle on the third hole when his 107-yard shot found the hole. Now on the back nine, Rose has notched birdies on five of six holes to improve to 6 under par today, one short of Sam Burns for the best second-round performance so far. -- Columbus Dispatch Rare three-putt slows Scottie Scheffler's progress Scottie Scheffler made the turn at 33 on Friday, and had pulled within two shots of overnight leader Ben Griffin, but Scheffler had a rare three-putt on the 10th hole, posting a double-bogey to drop to 3 under for the tournament.

Mandatory Credit: Aaron Doster-Imagn Images Michael Kim is happier today Michael Kim, even par through six holes, already is having a better day than what went down during the first round, when he took a quadruple bogey at the par 3 12th hole, dunking his tee shot into the water then making a mess of his next FIVE shots. He shot 78 for the round. Kim, who has become something of a social media sensation because of his tour insider posts on X, found some respite after his opening round in the company of a couple of canine companions. He also planned to soothe his ills with a clubhouse strawberry Oreo milkshake, which he rated 9.5 out of 10. -- Columbus Dispatch Collin Morikawa's new caddie calls him 'crazy' Collin Morikawa won at Muirfield at the 2020 Workday Charity Open and has twice finished second at the Memorial, including last year. On Thursday, he birdied three holes in a four-hole stretch on the front nine and made six birdies in all en route to posting 5-under 67 in the first round, two off the pace set by Ben Griffin. After working through multiple swing thoughts, Morikawa says he's just flat out crazy, and it didn't take his new caddie, Joe Greiner, long to reach the same conclusion.

Mandatory Credit: Aaron Doster-Imagn Images 'He's already called me crazy a lot. And that's fine. Like, I think golfers are generally crazy. I know I am. I mean, you give me eight weeks off this off-season, you should hear about the amount of things I tried. Just, I mean I had seven different grips, different wraps on my grips, like I was going through it all,' Morikawa said. 'You just give me a little too much time and I just go down rabbit holes.' Advertisement -- Adam Schupak Will Tiger Woods play Memorial again? We asked Jack Tiger Woods won Jack Nicklaus's Memorial Tournament a record five times, but Nicklaus said he doesn't expect Woods to chase a sixth title at Muirfield Village Golf Club ever again. 'I doubt it,' Nicklaus said on Tuesday. 'I don't think that he'll be able to walk this place. I'd love to have him playing again.' Woods isn't the only player to deal with an Achilles injury recently. Last February, two-time Masters champion Bernhard Langer tore his left Achilles playing pickleball. Three months after the surgery, he returned to PGA Tour Champions but was allowed to use a golf cart, and in December teamed with his son, Jason, to beat Woods and son Charlie at the PNC Championship in a playoff. Nicklaus was more optimistic about Tiger's chances to play next year on the Champions Tour once he turns 50 in December. Advertisement 'When he gets in a cart, he'll tear it up, absolutely,' Nicklaus said. 'If he plays, he'll win. He'll win better than 50 percent of the tournaments he plays in, I think. He's a good player. You all know how good a player he is, but I mean, his work ethic is so good. He likes to work at it. He loves it.'

Columbus music festival raises noise concerns
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — The two-day Breakaway Music Festival wrapped up Saturday night, bringing tens of thousands of people to the Historic Crew Stadium, but its impact was felt across several central Ohio neighborhoods with concerns over noise, resulting in a social media storm. 'It was definitely a shocker because we were convinced it was a house on the street, maybe a car that was parked there, something nearby, and for us to have to drive over a mile away to find the source of the noise was ridiculous,' resident Luke King said. Franklin County families gather for community baby shower NBC4 received several emails and phone calls with noise concerns surrounding the festival; residents as far as Grove City claimed they felt their homes shaking from the music Friday night. 'A couple weeks ago at the Sonic Temple, we could hear that a little bit, too, but this one just took it to a different level,' resident John Ubbing said. Residents took to social media Friday night to express their frustrations surrounding the loud music. Some Facebook posts read, 'I can hear Breakaway fest from my house six miles away in Merion Village. I'm not old enough to be this mad about loud music at night,' and 'So that's what it is. Its been driving me insane all evening.' 'We were coming back from dinner, it must've been about 7 (p.m.), and we could hear boom, boom, boom, really strong bass,' resident Wayne Trakas-Lawlor said. Ohio lottery winner takes $2 million prize from Columbus Sheetz According to residents, the normally quiet German Village was anything but that Friday night. 'What concerned us the most is it was so loud, it was shaking our house,' King said. 'So we decided we'll call the non-emergency number to file a noise complaint and then, of course, they want to know where the noise is coming from so, I walked down the street to find out which house was bumping this music for five hours all day long and made it all the way to Livingston. I could still hear it, I could still feel it and I still couldn't see it.' Parents in the area said the Breakaway Music Festival was a nuisance, especially when trying to put their kids to bed. 'We had to kind of turn our sound machines up to try and turn that off,' Ubbing said. Worthington restaurant manager wrestles money away from suspected robber Breakaway Music Festival organizers shared the following statement regarding the noise concerns: While our music festival was originally scheduled to end at 11:00 PM programming was temporarily paused for over an hour due to severe weather. To ensure the safety of our fans, artists, and staff, and with support from the Historic Crew Stadium we made the necessary decision to delay performances, and shelter in place while we closely monitored the storm's progression. As a result, the event extended beyond our original planned end time. However, we want to reassure our local community that our sound permit allows programming at full volume until midnight, and we continued festival operations within that permitted window, ending at 11:50 PM. We appreciate our surrounding communities patience and understanding as we prioritized safety while doing our best to deliver fans a positive festival experience. 'If you play music, I can understand going to concerts, but at that time of night, you'd expect it to quiet down a bit,' Trakas-Lawlor said. 'I mean, during the day is fine, I don't have a problem with it.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.
