Good morning to everyone but especially…

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER

On Thursday, Scottie Scheffler quietly fired a 69 – two after the leader – at Augusta National and fell asleep in the hunt. On Friday, he shot a superb 67 and fell asleep with a five-stroke lead, tied for the biggest 36-hole lead in Masters history. On Saturday, Scheffler masterfully battled the elements, hitting 71 and oversleeping with a three-stroke lead.

Two holes on Sunday, he got a wake-up call. His glans had shrunk to just one in the blink of an eye. Then he hit one of the best (and maybe the most important) photos of his career – a cute little bird – and never look back. After all that, Scottie Scheffler Is Your 2022 Masters Champion.

Exactly two months ago, Scheffler was considered one of the best players without any wins on the PGA Tour. Then he…

Added titles at Arnold Palmer Invitational and WGC-Dell Tachnologies Match Play arrive become number 1 in the world.

Now, he has marked his ascent with a green coat. While one of Scheffler’s strongest points on the course is his serious demeanor, he “cries like a baby” before the finals and relies on one of his biggest supporters to compose himselfour golf scribe, Kyle Porter, writes.

Porters: “When he finally made the tournament’s decisive putt, Scheffler raised his fists and cheered on the patrons who roared for him for four straight days and 72 holes. But he didn’t cry. Tears were shed that morning at the rental home that Schefflers was sharing with Sam Burns and his wife, Caroline. As Scheffler struggles to face the epic task of fending off (Cameron) Smith, (Rory) McIlroy and the rest of the world’s finest pitches – at a course that has turned even greater talents into ashes in the history of Sundays – he said His wife’s words were a comfort.“

What Scheffler has achieved this season is simply remarkable. It is also historic. He is only the second player ever to have four wins – including a major and a World Golf Championship – in a single season. What else? Tiger Woods. During a week when Woods was the most noticed, Scheffler joined him in joining the exclusive company with impressive fashion sense.

This is the first way of final standings looked at:

1. Scottie Scheffler (-10)
2. Rory McIlroy (-7)
T-3. Shane Lowry, Cameron Smith (-5)
5. Collin Morikawa (-4)

Honorable mention

And not a good morning for…

CAMERON SMITH…

For a moment Sunday, the 2022 Masters seemed to be there to Cameron SmithAfter he drilled the first two holes cut Scheffler’s conductor into a hole. On the third hole, Smith and Scheffler got the same chips from the green hole. Scheffler has created his magic. Smith crossed his hole and made a trick.

One hit never makes or breaks a tournament, but in this case it never ends again:

Smith has still within three shots after a birdie at age 11.
But then he create a mess of 12throw his tee into the water (“a really bad shot at the wrong time,” he said) and make tortoise.
Before that, he was moving towards second place, with a prize money of 1.62 million dollars. He finished in third place, earning $870,000 – $750,000 difference.

Smith is one of the players with two PGA Tour wins this season (and five in his career) to his name, but he’s sure to miss this opportunity for his first major tournament.

… AND IT’S NOT A GOOD MORNING FOR FRANK VOGEL

USATSI

After one of the most disappointing seasons in recent memory, Lakers Expect to make wholesale changes this holiday season. The first is expected to arrive today: Frank Vogel is expected to be fired as the Lakers head coach. It wraps up a three-year Vogel roller coaster ride in Los Angeles.

2019-20: 52-19, win the championship
2020-21: 42-30, lost in the first playoffs
2021-22: 33-29, miss out on knockouts and play-in tournaments

Vogel was put in a difficult position, but, like his entire team, his performance is not good enoughLakers expert Sam Quinn writes:

Quinn: “Vogel’s strength as a coach has always been his defensive acumen. The Lakers won the 2020 championship on their defensive prowess, and last season they finished No. 1 in the league despite their defiance. injuries to both. LeBron James and Anthony Davis. Even Vogel couldn’t save the Lakers’ roster this season, though, as they fell to 21st place in defence. The pair floundered with Vogel’s often difficult rotations and the Lakers decided to move on from their good coach. “

Not to mention such honor

The regular NBA season is over and the knockouts (well, live tournaments first) are on us.

For the most part, the last day of the season usually ends as pretty simple.

The 7th seed is determined by the game of 7-8
The 8th seed is then determined by the 7-8 game loser and the 9-10 game winner

Tiger Woods’ return to golf means a lot more than the end result

He struggled, hobbled, and went mad. But he also persevered, competed and smiled.

Tiger Woods ranked 47th at the following Masters 2022 shoot 78-78 on the weekend, but his return to competitive golf Shows His competitive fire burns stronger than everPorter wrote.

Porters: “What we see at Augusta National this week is perhaps the rarest thing in sport: An all-time champion who will rather than returning to the arena – even at 50% capacity – than being outside admiring all he has accomplished. … No one looks at Tiger Woods’ score because nobody cares what it says. Instead, they are delighted – just like him – that Tiger Woods, after 14 months of hell and unannounced, was able to step into the arena one more time to do what he did better. anyone in history: competition. “

Forest also committed to playing at the Open Championship at St. Andrews in July. Whether he plays between now and then – particularly at the PGA Championship in May and/or at the US Open in June – is something to be determined.
