GOLF

RBC Heritage play was suspended yesterday to be resumed this morning. However, Scottie Scheffler holds a 5 shot lead with 7 holes to play, so it seems like a done deal. If he wins, it will be his 4th win in 5 starts this season.

15 year-old Miles Russell makes history on the Korn Ferry Tour (aka the minor leagues of the PGA Tour) by being the youngest player to finish top-25. He ended the event tied for 20th, which is good enough to get him another start at the next event.
