Raven is a bit reserved, while Quail is filled with sass. They have a very special bond and are looking to be adopted together. They are spayed/neutered, microchipped, litterbox trained and have a free vet exam certificate included in their adoption. They are looking for an inside-only home.

Scottie Scheffler: Where He Ranks All-Time after PGA Championship Win
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Scottie Scheffler entered this week's PGA Championship in search of his third career major championship. Scheffler has already won two Green Jackets, winning the Masters in 2022 and 2024. After not having his best stuff at the Quail Hollow Club the first two rounds, he turned it on Saturday. Scheffler's epic finish, going 5-under over his final five holes, included the daunting 'Green Mile' stretch of 16 through 18. That built him a three-shot lead entering Sunday's final round. Midway through his final 18, Scheffler was struggling. Meanwhile, Jon Rahm had clawed his way back into a tie for the lead. It appeared as though golf fans were going to be treated to a dramatic finish. Instead, Rahm faltered down the stretch while Scheffler went back to work. He ultimately won by five shots, ahead of Bryson DeChambeau, Davis Riley and Harris English. At just 28 years old, Scheffler now has three major titles and is halfway to the career grand slam. But his prowess on the golf course goes well beyond Augusta National and Quail Hollow. So, with this win in his pocket, it had us wondering where he should rank historically?

The arrow is pointing up and he has the chance to go down in history as one of the greatest golfers ever. But right now, it would be blasphemy to even contemplate placing Scheffler anywhere near the top. Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods are atop nearly everyone's list. You can pick the order you want. Then there is obviously a host of others that are currently above reproach. Namely, Ben Hogan, Sam Snead, Arnold Palmer, Bobby Jones, Gary Player, and Seve Ballesteros. There is even another group of golfers that are still undoubtedly a cut above, including Gene Sarazen, Walter Hagen, Tom Watson, Nick Faldo, and even Phil Mickelson. I know, I know, I have Lefty pretty high. But let's not forget that before his controversial move to LIV Golf, Mickelson won six majors and is the oldest to ever win a major. So, that is 13 players that you cannot make a serious argument that Scheffler belongs above, yet. But from there, it is game on.

(Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images) More Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images Scheffler Might Sneak Inside Top 15 Among active players, Rory McIlroy and Brooks Koepka have five majors. Ernie Els has four. There are others in that area. But when we are at this point in the list, you have to look at much more than just major championships. Consistency is key, and that is where Scheffler excels. The Ridgewood, New Jersey native moved to the top spot in the Official World Golf Rankings exactly two years ago, on May 23, 2023. Since that time, he has remained atop the OWGR for 104 consecutive weeks. Only Tiger Woods has a longer streak in history. Well technically he did it twice, with one stretch lasting 281 weeks and another at 264. But that's Tiger, who is obviously in another stratosphere. Nevertheless, Scheffler's accomplishment stands on its own. Last year, he had one of the most dominant seasons on the PGA Tour anyone has ever seen. He made all 19 cuts on Tour, finishing in the top 10 in 16 of them. Of those, he won seven against stacked fields.

He won the Arnold Palmer, the PLAYERS, the Masters, RBC Heritage, and the Memorial. All of those are Signature Events with elite competition. He added an Olympic Gold Medal and the Tour Championship, then topped it off with a victory at Hero World Challenge. That is enough for a player to make a Hall of Fame career on, and he did it in one year. Even the numbers back up his greatness. The previous season, Scheffler averaged 2.614 strokes gained tee-to-green, which ranked second all-time behind Woods' 2006 season (2.982). He is already considered one of the best ball-strikers the game has ever seen. The PGA Tour recently dropped a video of Tiger Woods fawning over Scheffler's game. Game recognizes game. All of this to say that I have Scottie Scheffler sneaking inside my top 15 players of all-time. More Golf: Bryson DeChambeau's 7-Words for Scottie Scheffler at PGA Championship, Revealed

PGA Championship Round 3 leaderboard, live updates: Can anyone catch Jhonattan Vegas?
It's moving day in North Carolina, and all eyes are on Jhonattan Vegas. Yes, seriously. Vegas jumped up to a two-shot lead over the field at the midway point of the PGA Championship in a rare showing for the 40-year-old veteran, who has never led a major championship until this week. He even pulled off a ridiculous shot off a rake on Friday, too, to keep himself in the lead. While largely unknown, there is a big group of golfers close behind him. Si Woo Kim, who hit the longest ace in recorded major championship history, Matthieu Pavon and Matt Fitzpatrick are at 6-under. Scottie Scheffler, the top-ranked golfer in the world, is within striking distance, too. He's at 5-under with Max Homa. Rory McIlroy, fresh off his Masters win, and Xander Schauffele barely made it into the weekend. They survived the cut on the number at 1-over, and have a lot of work to do to get back in it. As of now, this is still very much anybody's PGA Championship to win. A weather delay has pushed the start of Round 3 to 11:43 a.m. ET. Groupings will now be in threesomes, instead of twosomes, and play will begin with split tees — front nine and back nine. The top half of the field will tee off on the front nine, while the back half will tee off on the back nine. This is all being done in an effort to get as much play in today. Full tee times can be found here. Stick with Yahoo Sports this week for all of the latest news from on the ground in North Carolina, and check out the leaderboard here. Third Round When: Saturday, May 17 Where: Quail Hollow Club | Charlotte, North Carolina TV: ESPN10 a.m. — 1 p.m. ET | ESPN, ESPN+1 p.m. — 7 p.m. ET | CBS, Paramount+ 1:38 ET: Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele, Chris Kirk1:44: Scottie Scheffler, Max Homa, Si Woo Kim1:55: Jhonattan Vegas, Matthieu Pavon, Matt Fitzpatrick After a 3+-hour weather delay, Round 3 is finally underway. Reminder: Twosomes have become threesomes (except one, more on that shortly), and they have split the tees — meaning players will tee off from both No. 1 and No. 10. As for the groupings, every group will be a threesome, save one — the penultimate group of Max Greyserman and Sam Burns. How will that play in their heads? Well, I wouldn't want to be the only twosome on a course full of threesomes. Will be interesting to see how that plays out. Rory McIlroy had to switch out his driver ahead of the PGA Championship. McIlroy's regular driver was tested and deemed to be nonconforming after he arrived at Quail Hollow earlier this week ahead of the second major championship of the year. Further specifics on McIlroy's driver or why it was deemed nonconforming are not yet known. The issue, though, is a common one on the PGA Tour. Clubs fail these tests, which are conducted regularly by the USGA at Tour events, each week throughout the season for a number of reasons. Drivers often fail simply due to extended use, as club faces can shift or break over time. McIlroy just barely made the cut this week in North Carolina. He opened with a 3-over 74 on Thursday, and then he nearly blew it with back-to-back bogeys to end his round on Friday. McIlroy finished at 1-over, though, and made the cut on the number. McIlroy has struggled off the tee, and holds a driving accuracy of less than 36%. Only one golfer, Andre Chi, has been worse off the tee. For more on McIlroy's club issues, click here. Jhonattan Vegas has won foru times on the PGA Tour, most recently last summer at the 3M Open. But a combination of injuries, bad breaks and hard luck have kept him from more sustained success in majors … which makes this week that much more meaningful. 'I have the game to compete in these big events. I feel like my game is very complete, but I just haven't been able to put it all together in a major,' he said. 'I've played good at some good, big tournaments, but never a major, right? … Unfortunately, it's [taken] me a little bit longer than usual, but I'm glad that I'm in this position right now.'

Major after major of elite-level champions claiming the game's best titles, year after year. We began to expect it, that every single major would be the equivalent of the Super Bowl or the World Series, putting the very best at center stage. Well, golf doesn't always work that way. Sometimes the very best put their shots in the water, and sometimes the journeymen pick the best week of the year to have the best week of their lives. That's the beauty of the game — you can work for a lifetime, and if you can string just four outstanding days together, you become immortal. Pretty fantastic opportunity, when you think about it that way. Now? Now what we've got, folks, is a damn mess. A glorious mess, but a mess all the same.

Early PGA leader Ryan Gerard has some history with Quail Hollow
The last time the PGA Championship came to Quail Hollow Club, in 2017, Ryan Gerard was moving into his freshman dorm at North Carolina. Six months later, Gerard and his Tar Heel teammates found themselves standing on Quail's 18th tee for what seemed like the hundredth time. The NCAA Championship at Karsten Creek, another big ballpark, was around the corner, so North Carolina head coach Andrew DiBitetto, in his first season at the time, took the six travel players to Quail for some prep work. They finished the day playing the par-4 finishing hole, the final leg of the vaunted 'Green Mile' – with one catch. Advertisement 'Everyone had to play the 18th hole until all six made a par and at the same time in the same group,' said Gerard, who estimated that the Heels, a squad that also included current PGA Tour member Ben Griffin, took four or five tries, or about an hour, until they completed the challenge. DiBitetto quipped that it was 'more than once.' Added Gerard: 'I learned a lot about the 18th hole on that day.' Gerard, now a 25-year-old in his first full season on the PGA Tour, is thankful he didn't have to replay the 18th hole on Thursday. He bogeyed that hole – and the preceding one as well – to cap the first round of his PGA Championship career. DiBitetto would've arguably given him a pass on this day, too, as Gerard collected six birdies and a chip-in eagle earlier in what ended up a 5-under 66, good for a one-shot lead after the morning wave. 'Any time you see your name at the top of the leaderboard, especially in a major, it's a very good thing,' Gerard said. Advertisement Statistically, this isn't much of a surprise. Gerard entered the week ranked top 10 in scoring, top 25 in scrambling and nearly top 40 in strokes gained off the tee. He'd nearly won a few weeks ago in San Antonio, and he loves grainy Bermudgrass. Gerard's PGA Tour breakthrough came two years ago at the Honda Classic, where he Monday'd into the field and finished fourth, later grabbing special temporary status and eventually finishing the season with 22 starts. He played last year on the Korn Ferry Tour, where he needed just one season to graduate to the PGA Tour. This season, Gerard has posted six top-25s, including a pair of top-10s. 'I feel like I've playing really solid for a lot of stretches, and I had a couple higher finishes, but I'd say for the most part, I've been kind of just hovering in that 15 to 30 range a lot of weeks,' Gerard said. 'That's not a bad thing, but you know, I'm kind of looking to kind of step on the gas here.' The man tasked with fueling him is instructor Jason Baile, who works out of Jupiter Hills Club and last month was named the PGA of America's teacher of the year. Just another connection between Gerard and this week's championship.
