The greatest Ryder Cup comeback that never was

Friday sealed what we probably already knew. Jon Rahm is becoming an all-time Ryder Cup great. He is Europe's talisman. www.nytimes.com/athletic/666...
Jon Rahm is Europe's talisman. There's no one on either Ryder Cup team quite like him

On J.J. Spaun and the collective, understood feeling that we just witnessed something awesome. www.nytimes.com/athletic/642...
Why J.J. Spaun winning the U.S. Open was actually awesome
Maybe, just maybe, anybody can win a U.S. Open. Including a 34-year-old PGA Tour journeyman counted out after nine holes.

Sam Burns and the round you are not supposed to have at Oakmont Country Club. www.nytimes.com/athletic/642...
By taming Oakmont, Sam Burns made himself a 2025 U.S. Open contender
Burns, 28, has never truly contended at a major championship. A 65 on Friday at Oakmont changed that.

Here comes Asterisk Talley, 16, at the U.S. Open.

And here comes all those things that come with it. The expectation. The weight. The "pressure to be the savior of the tour."

Again.

Scottie Scheffler's new Wanamaker Trophy? You'll hardly see it inside the Scheffler home.

Other things are on his mind. www.nytimes.com/athletic/636...

A year ago, Scottie Scheffler's coach hardly said a word to him on the range as he pitched golf's version of perfect games.

The last three months? They've been searching.

On Scheffler's return to being Scottie in time for the PGA Championship. www.nytimes.com/athletic/635...
Scottie Scheffler’s returning to form and remains the man to beat at the PGA Championship
Rory McIlroy is the man of the moment, Bryson DeChambeau is thriving, but Scheffler arrives at the PGA Championship as the man in black.

A year ago, Officer Bryan Gillis' apparently $80 pants were damaged beyond repair. So @gabbyherzig.bsky.social and I had a question: Where are the pants now?

We found them, and learned they are worth so much more now. www.nytimes.com/athletic/635...
A year after Scottie Scheffler’s arrest, we had to ask: Where are Detective Gillis’ ruined pants?
In a notably concise interview, Gillis said he still hasn't decided what to do with the attention surrounding his arrest of Scheffler.

Rory McIlroy will never feel what he felt on Sunday's first tee, stomach in knots, legs like jelly, again.

Now, McIlroy can combine his most complete arsenal of tricks with a renewed confidence. Or at least a lack of fear.

Columns are often at their best when they combine analysis, reporting and observations with a clear voice. Essentially, columns are reported stories with an opinion. There are other elements, for sure, but not all combine everything as well as this one by @brodymiller.bsky.social
