Things got a bit morbid at Royal Birkdale on Tuesday. 

While the two top golfers in the world made their points when talking about their legacy ahead of the final major championship of the season, they did so in similarly dark ways. 

"I don't really play, like, for a place in history," Scheffler said when asked about making history in the sport on Tuesday ahead of the British Open.

"I'm not playing for anything like that because, this is going to sound a little morbid, but at the end of the day, I'm going to live my life, and then it's going to end. And when it ends, I'm going somewhere else and I'm not going to be here anymore."

He's not wrong, technically. Death will come for Scheffler eventually, just like it does the rest of us.

But to his credit, Scheffler was quickly aware that he took things down a weird path that was somehow worse than last year's answer of, "What's the point?"

"Sorry," he said laughing when it was brought up later.

Rory McIlroy was asked a similar question about how he'd be viewed in the sport a century from now, and remarkably, gave an almost identical answer — though he had a bit more color. 

"I'll be long gone, I'll be dead," McIlroy said. "I don't think I'll be seeing what people say about me, I'll be six feet under. I don't think I'll be a ghost."

Both McIlroy and Scheffler are actually making a good point here. They won't be around later on down the road, so there is no point in fixating on anything but the present. They'll be remembered how they'll be remembered.

It's just that the delivery could use a little work.

McIlroy, at No. 2 in the Official World Golf Rankings, is coming off a top-10 finish at the Genesis Scottish Open last week. He's finished inside the top 10 in three of his last four starts at the British Open, too.  

Scheffler actually missed the cut on Friday in Scotland, which marked the first time that he's missed the cut at a PGA Tour event since 2022. His 78 consecutive made cuts is fifth on the Tour's all-time list, and was the longest active streak on Tour.

Despite his struggles, he's still the betting favorite to win this week just north of Liverpool. McIlroy, however, isn't far behind. 

We'll see if things turn around as the British Open gets underway. It can only go up from here … right?

Draymond Green and Udonis Haslem are going at it again, this time over the apparent Las Vegas fight between Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro.

Haslem fired back at Green on social media Sunday, ripping the Golden State Warriors star for comments that he made recently on his podcast. 

"I see some things just don't change," Haslem wrote, in part. "You was on sucka s**t four years ago when you swung on Jordan Poole, and you on sucka s**t now."

What did Draymond Green say about UD?

While this feud goes back years, the latest edition came after Herro and Adebayo got into it in a Las Vegas gym on Friday morning. 

The former Miami Heat teammates were inside a gym at the Resorts World Casino when Adebayo apparently struck Herro in the "face area" in an altercation in front of Herro's AAU team. Adebayo walked into the courts and approached Herro and punched him. 

Herro and Adebayo were teammates from 2019-2026. Herro was recently dealt to the Milwaukee Bucks in the deal that sent Giannis Antetokounmpo to the Heat.

Haslem spent his entire playing career with the Heat and is now part of the Heat's staff. 

Now, for Green's part. On his podcast this weekend, Green called out Haslem's criticism of him over his incident with Jordan Poole. Green swung at Poole during a Warriors practice in 2022. Haslem called Green out for his role in that at the time. 

"So, when I first saw this, I was like, 'Damn. This is two young guys Udonis Haslem raised,'" Green said, in part. "If you raised this young guy in the light of what you was saying about me, and now he punches this other young guy that y'all kind of co-raised, are you going to have that same energy?"

UD responds to Draymond Green

Haslem, in a long five-paragraph response, wasn't having it.

"If you think your big 32 year old, three or four rings at the time having ass swinging on a 23 year old Jordan Poole at the time is the same then you are even more delusional that I thought," Haslem said.

After explaining why he thought the two situations were completely different, he then called out Green again.

"Ion really vibe you and I think you know that so unless it's me on Prime talking hoops I won't mention you at all," he said. "You brought me into this and I am retired and out the way. I suggest you keep it pushing cause I ain't giving out no more hall passes bra!"

Clearly, Green and Haslem still aren't on the same page. And remarkably, the Adebayo-Herro feud has now doubled in size. 

Caitlin Clark made WNBA history on Sunday night while helping the Indiana Fever to a blowout win over the Las Vegas Aces.

Clark recorded her 600th assist in the Fever’s 109-75 win at Michelob Ultra Arena. It only took her 72 games to pull that off, which made her the fastest player in league history to reach that mark.

Clark dropped 12 points with seven rebounds and six assists in the win. She shot 5-of-11 from the field, too. Clark got her historic assist with a dump off to Monique Billings on a screen in the third quarter of the contest. Billings managed to sink the layup and draw a foul on the play.

While it didn’t take her long to get to 600, Clark still has a long way to go to even get into the all-time assist conversation. Hall of Famer Sue Bird is the league’s all-time assist leader with 3,234 assists in her career. She’s the only player to surpass 3,000 assists, too. Chicago Sky star Courtney Vandersloot is second on the list with 2,909 assists. 

The Fever jumped out to an 11-point lead at the break on Sunday afternoon, thanks to a huge first half from Kelsey Mitchell. She dropped 20 of her 27 points in the first 20 minutes of the game, and even buried a deep contested 3-pointer right at the buzzer to keep the Fever’s lead at double digits. 

They didn’t trail at all in the first half, and held the Aces to just 1-of-7 from deep.

The Aces came out of the locker room hot and looked like they were going to make it a game — they started the third quarter on a quick 7-0 burst — but that was very short-lived. The Fever ended up closing the third period out on a 17-5 tear, which suddenly gave them a 16-point lead. From there, they easily rolled to the blowout win. 

A’ja Wilson led the Aces with 20 points and 12 rebounds in the loss, which dropped them to 17-7 on the season. Jackie Young added 15 points, too, though they were the only Aces players to hit double figures.

Aliyah Boston finished with 19 points and 11 rebounds to go with Mitchell’s 27 point night. Sophie Cunningham put up 20 points from the bench, too after draining six 3-pointers.

Clark entered Sunday averaging 20.5 points and a league-high 7.9 assists per game this season. It was only her second game back from a lingering back injury that took her out of a heated contest with the Phoenix Mercury early late last month. Clark had nine points in her return in a loss to the Las Vegas Aces on Wednesday.

The Fever have now won five of their last seven games, and sit at 14-9 on the season. That has them in fifth in the league standings. They’ll take on the Golden State Valkyries next on Wednesday.
