Russell Henry
Golfers who want to beat Scotty Scheffler Tour Championships must be near perfect, Russell Henry It was the first round of Thursday.
Henry shot a shining 9-under 61 at Eastlake. In fact, Henry was tied up Collin Morikawa For the lowest opening round ever in the Tour Championship in East Lake. The only low score came in 2007 Zach Johnson I shot 60 in the third round.
Henry’s scorecard was littered with birdies (and one eagle), but he succeeded in an unconventional way, Patrick McDonald wrote.
- McDonald’s: “He ranked last in terms of mileage, but consistently found short grass and took his chances when he had. It was a completely encapsulated round as Henry bit too much as a player and birdies kept flying when he found putters and strokes.”
This is what makes the top of the leaderboard seem to be heading towards the second round.
1. Russell Henry (-9)
2. Scotty Scheffler (-7)
T-3. Collin Morikawa (-6)
T-3. Patrick Cantray (-6)
T-3. Justin Thomas (-6)
T-3. Robert McInteal (-6)
T-3. Tommy Fleetwood (-6)

Atlanta Falcon
Falcon Their future is betting on the former No.8 overall pick Michael Penix Junior For that bet to be rewarded, the penix must stand upright and tackle to the right Kaleb McGary It plays a big role in that. Unfortunately for the Falcons, McGarry could be on the sidelines for a while.
McGarry, after suffering a real leg injury on Wednesday, and now The timetable for his return is unknown.. If McGarry misses any of the regular season, it’s a big blow to Atlanta’s offensive line. McGary, the first round pick in 2019, is responsible for protecting the blindside of the left-handed Penix.
McGarry became the anchor on the right while his 92 began on the offensive line. Just earlier this month, the falcon Gives a two-year contract to McGary Equivalent to $30 million.
Early in the offseason, the Penix stated a Falcons offensive “It should be the best in the league.” It’s hard to knock on that optimism given the weapons around him (such as Bidjan Robinson and Drake London). However, if McGarry doesn’t hold onto the right side of the line, it’s much more difficult to hit that ceiling.

At Eisenberg The latest version of Fantasy Football Breakouthe highlights players who can hit another level in 2025. One of them is Cowboys Wide receiver George Pickens.
- Eisenberg: “He should prove he’s a solid complement Cedee Rum And the massive threat of Duck Prescott. We’ll see if Pickens can command enough targets to increase the value of the fantasy, but the Cowboys passing game should do this attack. There’s a lot to love about the Pickens, who plays in Dallas.

ACC Expert Picks, Prediction
Mike Meredith, CBS Sports
Next is our tour College Football preview is ACCa seemingly top-heavy meeting with two clear college football playoff contenders and the legendary NFL coach making his college debut.
Let’s get started Bill Belichick And he North Carolina tar heels. After the program backed up Brinkstrack to land Belichick this year, there’s a lot of hype and expectations for UNC, but will it pay off? Probably not in his first year, so it’s Brad Crawford. Pegged tar heels as his most overrated ACC team.
- Crawford: βAfter not impressing the talent acquisition this offseason, freshman coach Bill Belichick has an incredibly soft schedule to thank him for getting bowl eligibility this fall, which may not look pretty at Chapel Hill when the campaign begins.
North Carolina may be a few years away from being a true candidate for the ACC title, but Clemson and Miami are there now. The Hurricanes have invested heavily in their transfer portals, but all our experts have chosen the Tigers to finish first in meeting rankings. Only one person chose a cane to win the ACC Championship Game.
In a way, it’s kind of fitting as Miami landed on our number 8. Ranking of the 10 Most Overrated Programs of the Last 10 Years. Can Miami finally put up hype? I think we’re trying to find it.
