By Sam McPherson Italy’s Francesco Molinari won the 2018 Open Championship on Sunday at Carnoustie. What is most impressive is how he did it, though his winning score of 8-under par does not do the effort justice. Molinari emerged from one of the most crowded leaderboards in golf major history to win his first major by two strokes and become the first Italian golfer to win one of the sport’s four grandest prizes. He earned the $1.89 million winner’s check by posting 69 on Sunday, the only golfer in the field to play a bogey-free round when it mattered most. Molinari parred the first 13 holes before making birdies at No. 14 and No. 18, emerging from a six-way tie at one point atop the leaderboard. He also stared down Tiger Woods, his playing partner, after the duo stood on the 11th tee with Woods, then at 7-under, in sole possession of first place. Molinari did not blink, as Woods dropped three strokes over the next two holes, and no other challenger mounted a sustained attack on a very difficult day at Carnoustie. Only 14 players broke par in the fourth round, and of those with an actual chance at winning on the back nine Sunday, Molinari’s 69 was the best. Among the leaderboard leaders, only Rory McIlroy, who shot 70 on the par-71 loop to finish in a four-way tie for second at 6-under, managed to break par. This is the second tournament victory for the 35-year-old Molinari this month, as he won the Quicken Loans National to start July off. In a span of just 21 days, he won Woods’ personal tournament and took the Open Championship from Woods, quite the achievement for a veteran pro who also won the European Tour’s BMW PGA Championship in May. Considering Molinari sat at even par through the first two rounds, though, few could have seen this coming. There were a lot of golfers vying for this year’s British Open title, and most of them were American. Kevin Kisner was the first-round leader, shooting 66 to hold the lead at 5-under. Three players were tied for second just a stroke behind, and three more golfers shot 68 to stay two strokes off the lead. Tied for eighth place at 2-under par were former Open champions Zach Johnson (2015) and McIlroy (2014). Johnson posted 67 in Friday’s second round to move into a first-place tie with Kisner at 6-under after 36 holes. The trio of Tommy Fleetwood, Pat Perez, and Xander Schauffele stood one shot back, and two shots behind the leaders were Matt Kuchar and McIlroy, part of a five-way tie for sixth place. Again, at this point, Molinari was at even par after opening with a 70-72 effort. Saturday’s round truly mixed things up atop the leaderboard, as Kisner, Schauffele, and Jordan Spieth — the defending champion — shared the lead at 9-under par. Spieth posted a 65 to jump up 10 spots, while Woods moved up 23 spots after shooting a 66 to lurk four shots off the lead. Molinari posted the second-best round of the day (65) to find himself paired with Woods for Sunday’s fourth and final round. All of it was just a warm-up for Sunday’s final act, however, and Molinari went home with the Claret Jug by playing the best round of the day at Carnoustie. The three third-round co-leaders shot a combined 11-over on Sunday. > > MORE: This Week In Golf Next On The Tee: RBC Canadian Open The U.S. and Great Britain have held championships, and now it’s Canada’s turn: The RBC Canadian Open at Glen Abbey in Oakville, Ontario, is up next. This event dates back to 1904, and it is the third-oldest event on Tour after the aforementioned U.S Open and British Open. The defending champion is Jhonattan Vegas, who won the event last year in a playoff over Charley Hoffman after they both posted a 267 score for the tournament. Vegas also won the Canadian Open in 2016, making him a two-time defending champ. He will attempt to become the first three-peat winner in the event’s history, although others in the field might have some say. Brandt Snedeker (2013), Sean O’Hair (2011), and Chez Reavie (2008) are former champions scheduled to play, as is Jim Furyk, who won the event in back-to-back years himself once (2006, 2007). Kisner will try to make up for his fourth-round struggles in Carnoustie by playing in the RBC Canadian Open, and the world’s top-ranked golfer, Dustin Johnson, is in the field, too, after missing the cut last week. Two-time defending U.S. Open champ Brooks Koepka will tee it off as well, along with fan favorites Sergio Garcia, Matt Kuchar and Bubba Watson. All these stars will be playing on a course known for being the first the legendary Jack Nicklaus designed all by himself. The loop is highlighted by the five Valley holes, No. 11 through No. 15, which offer impressive beauty and a lot of hazardous possibilities if the ball is hit poorly. The Glen Abbey Golf Course plays 7,253 yards long and is a par 72. Favorites: Dustin Johnson, Kevin Kisner, Jhonattan Vegas Players to Watch: Brooks Koepka, Matt Kuchar, Bubba Watson Sam McPherson is a freelance writer covering baseball, football, basketball, golf and fantasy sports for CBS Local.

Utah movie theater cancels town hall on guns with school shooting survivors
By Dan Reardon In the PGA TOUR’s family of tournaments, the John Deere Classic has always been the ‘little engine that could.” For all of its 47 years, the tournament has been held in one of the smallest markets on TOUR. And in recent years it’s faced the additional challenge of attracting a representative field while residing on the calendar near the Open Championship, which takes place seven time zones away. But the Deere has not only soldiered on, it has prospered. Celebrating 25 years under the John Deere corporate banner, the tournament now provides a private charter to players wanting to compete in the Quad Cities and still vie for the year’s third major. No greater compliment could have been paid than when Jordan Spieth, halfway through a run at the Grand Slam in 2015, honored his commitment to the event that hosted his first PGA TOUR win. He won the tournament again and chased to the wire the following week at St. Andrews. The tournament has a remarkable eye for young talent, with sponsor’s exemptions extended over the years to Jordan Spieth, Zach Johnson, Jason Day, Justin Thomas, Jon Rahm and last year’s champion, Bryson DeChambeau. CBS Sports reporter Amanda Balionis will be staffing her usual interview duties on the telecast and as Stuart Cink recently quipped, players always look forward to talking to Amanda because it means you must have done something good that day. > > WATCH: The John Deere Classic Live Stream This tournament has a unique quality about it because of the small-time feel and sense of community experienced by the players. (Last year, the John Deere Classic won the PGA TOUR Tournament Award for “Most Engaged Community” for the second consecutive year.) W hat have you seen in this unique relationship between the field and the community? A lot of players really love coming to this event, because it is a small town, it’s a beautiful town, and the community really rallies around it. We see that at various events. The Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Connecticut is another one that really sticks out. It’s fun to see. Every day so many fans are out following so many different groups, which is really cool. And then, obviously, the success that the middle-American guys like Zach Johnson and Steve Stricker have had here, it’s like a home course. They both call it their fifth major. That just solidifies this event as a hometown favorite. I expect to see a huge crowd following Bryson DeChambeau after his win last year, which was so great. He was so emotional and so appreciative, and this is one of those events where the fans are watching that. The more a player appreciates the event, the more fans appreciates him. Let’s talk about the three players you mentioned, starting with Bryson DeChambeau. He’s just such an interesting player; everyone is fascinated by him. He does things differently than anybody else we have ever seen. He’s constantly grinding. He’s constantly trying to figure out something, a new advantage, a new way to do things that will simplify his swing to maximize his performance. He’s just a really fascinating player. So, for him to break through the way he did last year was proof that his methods — even though they are certainly unconventional — do work. Bryson can be a bit of a challenging interview. He is really, really smart. He also knows how to simplify things, so the rest of us know what he is talking about. It’s just that he studies things in such a different way. You talk to him, and you walk away feeling like you have truly learned something every time, which is absolutely awesome. Along with Bryson, all these great young players not only can get the job done on the golf course, but they all seem to be really comfortable with the media. They actually seem to answer questions. What is your take on them as they deal with the media? They are great. You have to keep in mind all of these players grew up really watching their idols talk to the media. They started off in the social media era. Information — instant information — is really important to them, and it always has been. That’s very different from all those veteran players, who came of age when the demands were very different. The way that media and interviews and news were consumed was really different as well. You might do an interview with me on CBS fifteen years ago, and if you didn’t catch it on live television, it’s pretty much gone. Now, the minute we do an interview, it’s getting put up on social media. On Instagram. On Facebook. On Twitter. It’s going everywhere. And these [young] players really understand that this is a really great way to reach their fans pretty quickly. Rickie Fowler spearheaded a lot of this. He did things in such a unique way, but they were things that were true and genuine to him. And that really resonated with a lot of fans. He built this amazing fanbase worldwide that still exists today. It’s fun to be a part of it and watch as these players make names for themselves. > > MORE: Golf Expert Interviews What about Stricker and Johnson? Steve Stricker is a three-time winner here. He is always in the mix, which is so much fun to watch, because he is such a hometown local favorite. And Zach Johnson, his record here is just insane. He has a victory. He has three runner-up finishes, a couple of thirds. He’s out of control when he comes to TPC Deere Run. So that’s really fun to watch too. Give us a rising name from the field this week. Joaquin Niemann has impressed us so much with his composure, in the way that he goes about things. He was tied for fifth at Greenbrier last week, and that was his fourth top-10 in eight starts as a professional, which is absolutely insane. His Sunday performances have really stood out. He seems to finish even stronger every single week. He’s so young. He’s so inexperienced. But none of that shows on the golf course. The way that he has earned his full PGA TOUR membership is so impressive. Already his season is a success. His time is coming very soon. He’s a really hard worker. There is absolutely no doubt about that. He has the exact personality you need to be successful out there. He’s definitely an impressive kid all the way around.
