Thanks for the note, X. I celebrated by creating an account on the other site. Will continue to share stories/links here. But hoping to engage and be active on Bluesky. Give a follow. Same name.

You will note these Hawks are not dead.

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…

From @TheAthletic: The 153rd Open Championship will go down as the week everyone tried, and failed, to understand Scottie Scheffler, our columnist writes. nyti.ms/44JKbFu

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

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 @GabbyHerzig 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…

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

New one for @TheAthletic, from Portrush: Yeah. nytimes.com/athletic/65039…

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…

Good morning from Portrush. Do yourself a favor today and listen to something different. My story on the sound and the charm of Open Radio: nytimes.com/athletic/65008…

New one from Portrush … This time, Rory McIlroy’s final walk isn’t over nytimes.com/athletic/65029…

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

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)

New one for @TheAthletic ... 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…

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 @TheAthletic: nytimes.com/athletic/64910…

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…

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…

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

New for @TheAthletic and @nytimes 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…
