👋 {{readername | Hey golf fans}},
It’s been months since Scottie Scheffler’s last win on the PGA Tour. Now, after another runner-up finish, the golfer finally speaks up about what’s on his mind. We talk about his comments on his game, on Viktor, and more. Meanwhile, Viktor is battling a strange golf problem, Nelly sounds upset, and other news that caught our eyes.
Let’s get started…
The Travelers Championship has left much to be desired for the major champion.
Hair Dye Fixes the Gray. It Doesn't Fix the Roots
Hair dye solves the gray you can see. It doesn't touch the reason it's happening. That's why the roots come back, the color looks painted, and the routine never ends. You're not fixing the problem — you're managing the symptom every few weeks. Particle Anti-Gray Serum works differently. It targets the root cause of graying — restoring your natural pigment gradually, from the inside out. Hair and beard. No dye, no smell, no roots giving it away. Results that look like yours because they are. Five seconds a day. Thirty-day money-back guarantee if you don't see a difference. Over a million men trust Particle.

On June 30, 1916, Chick Evans won the U.S. Open wire-to-wire, finishing two strokes clear with a 286, a tournament scoring record that stood for two decades. Two months later, he claimed the U.S. Amateur, defeating Robert Gardner 4 and 3. Evans became the first golfer to win both titles in the same year and remains one of only two players to achieve the feat, alongside Bobby Jones in 1930, as per the USGA.
