What did they say, first player since 1948 or something to play Fri and Sat with zero bogies. Great weekend for him.

Stop passing the ball back to the goalkeeper expecting him to control the ball like a field player!

Jamie has been killing it on Jeopardy for 30 days now. He has to be one of the best contestants ever. Maybe top 5 already. Over $860,000 in winnings so far.

He’s been so good most of his competitors seem at ease.

Can’t win, no pressure.

Usually in final jeopardy he’s had insurmountable leads.

Is burning brushpiles a sport? If chainsawing can get on The Ocho…?

Personally, I think grubbing mesquite should be an Olympic event.

Jackson Koivun wins the SEC individual Golf Championship for the third consecutive year. Was 7 strokes ahead of 2nd place. This is the first three time SEC champ since 1967-69 (BR McClendon - LSU).
This kid earned his PGA tour card last year through the PGA University Accelerator program but still came back to Auburn for his Junior year. He has won 6 of the 8 tournaments he has played in this year.

That is pretty incredible.

A 65 second drop in marathon world record time. Mind boggling. With the 2nd place finisher only 11 seconds behind and the top 3 breaking the WR. What an epic race.

To put this into perspective, he ran the marathon at a 4:33.4 minute per mile pace. For 26+ miles. Sawe ran his last mile in 4:15. To put this into perspective, my personal best mile of 4:16 was good enough to get me a scholarship to an elite D1 school.

Some more interesting stats:

13.16 mph / 21.17 kph: His average speed.

14:10: His average 5K pace.

27:36: Sawe’s split from 30K to 40K. This 10k time was faster than the NCAA D1 cross country men’s winning time this year AND the champion 10,000m winner on the track. By over 1m30s. After he had already run 3 10k’s back to back leading up to this one faster than those NCAA champion times.

1:00:29: His first half marathon split.

59:01: His second half marathon split, which is faster than Conner Mantz’s American record of 59:17. That’s right, his second half marathon of the day was faster than the fastest half marathon ever run on American soil. By 16 seconds.

It seemed pretty incredible when I first saw the results. With your perspective it seems even more incredible, almost unreal.

I’m rooting for So Happy today. My previous favorite, Right to Party, was scratched.

And it’s Golden Tempo! A 23-1 shot was in last place for most of the race, comes around the outside and blows away the favorites down the stretch.
