 | ⛳ Rose Rallies to Beat Spaun in St. Jude Playoff |
Justin Rose delivered a masterclass in clutch performance at the FedEx St. Jude Championship yesterday—rallying from behind with six birdies down the stretch, including four in a row from 14 to 17, to force a playoff with J.J. Spaun.
In sudden death, the 45‑year‑old proved there’s still plenty left in the tank, sealing victory with a birdie on the third extra hole to outlast the U.S. Open champ.
It’s Rose’s 12th PGA Tour triumph and his first win since early 2023, a reminder that age is just a number when the putter’s hot.
Meanwhile, Tommy Fleetwood’s long wait for a first title continues as he faded late and ended up tied for third.

⚾ Justin Verlander Reaches 3,500 Strikeouts |
Justin Verlander etched his name even deeper into the annals of baseball lore yesterday, fanning Nathaniel Lowe in the first inning to join the exclusive 3,500‑strikeout club, becoming just the 10th pitcher in MLB history to do so.
The moment was met with a standing ovation and an emotional moment at Oracle Park.
But the milestone was bittersweet: despite Verlander’s brilliance, the Giants were shut down by the Nationals in an 8–0 drubbing that exposed their ongoing struggles.
Even in a tough season, the 42‑year‑old ace made it clear the chase isn’t over—he still wants to pitch in 2026. |
🏈 Eagles' Dickerson Carted Off With Apparent Leg Injury |
Landon Dickerson, the Eagles’ Pro Bowl guard, took a scary spill during last night’s open practice—under the lights at Lincoln Financial Field—and had to be carted off after clearly struggling to bear weight on his right leg.
Teammates, visibly concerned, gathered around as trainers evaluated him on the sideline before whisking him away.
Dickerson had just been cleared from an injury report following a limited Saturday practice due to a knee issue. |
