New for The Athletic and The New York Times Art Spander has seen everything. The Miracle on Ice. Kirk Gibson. The Catch. But nowadays? The view is changing and time is moving. On the life and love of a true original: nytimes.com/athletic/64361…

A course can be one of the world’s best without an exclusionary model — that’s how it was always supposed to be. On Royal Portrush, the contrast of American country club culture and preserving golf’s egalitarian roots, for The Athletic: nytimes.com/athletic/64910…

Hello from Portrush, Northern Ireland, where, even on a week that’s so big, everything can feel very small. nytimes.com/athletic/64939…

Nihilist Scottie Scheffler made his triumphant return today, a welcome surprise. Every once in a while, Scheffler, one of pro sport’s most unexplored mega-stars, lets this out — his most insular side, the side that asks, “What’s the point?” My story — nytimes.com/athletic/64956…

Unexpected development: The comment section of today's story on Scottie Scheffler's unfiltered commentary on the meaningless of golf results has turned into ... an exploration of life itself. nytimes.com/athletic/64956…

Matt Fitzpatrick hit his lowest. Now he's co-leading the Open Championship. nytimes.com/athletic/65002…

New one for The Athletic ... On the romance of broadcasting, the power of language, and the time machine that is Open Radio. “This feels like a return to simpler days." nytimes.com/athletic/65008…

I stumbled upon British Open Radio on a drive during the Cam Smith/Rory duel at St. Andrews. A phenomenal broadcast that Mr. Quinn does a great job of writing why it works so well. If you can’t watch on TV I recommend it. (It’s on the App)

You will note these Hawks are not dead.

In a career that’s running out firsts, Rory McIlroy is in the midst of one — playing an Open Championship weekend in his home of Northern Ireland. And all eyes remain on him. And he's 1 under through 1. nytimes.com/athletic/65029…

Wrote about what I witnessed from Scottie Scheffler out there today (straight wizardry) and why his game is meant for links golf. For The Athletic: nytimes.com/athletic/65040…

This was my favorite piece of the week. I was in the UK in ‘23 and ‘24 during the Open and I didn’t realize how much I missed it this year until we wrapped our show today and I walked outside into the searing Florida heat. Open Radio made it feel just a little closer this week🙏

Here’s Gabby Herzig on Scottie Scheffler and perfection at Portrush. We’re running out of ways to say how good the man is. This is a mighty try — nytimes.com/athletic/65051…

Yesterday’s finally story from Portrush: On Scottie Scheffler, memories of a young savant, and what’s worth understanding. nytimes.com/athletic/65057…

An uncle remembers him, at 2 or 3, smoking a shot and demanding to see him do it again. An old tour pro remembers him, at 7 or 8, poking around, asking “in-depth questions about divot patterns.” On what goes missed when understanding Scottie Scheffler: nytimes.com/athletic/65057…
