Woolf said language ‘runs dry’ when it comes to convey the reality of illness Here is an impressive effort to do just that American essayist Elaine Scarry makes a case for the “unsharability” of pain and its resistance to language “does not simply resist language but actively destroys it.” Sixty years earlier in On Being Ill Virginia Woolf made her famous claim about how language “runs dry” when it comes to articulating illness Both theories grapple with inexpressibility persistent pain invokes many feelings: irritation fear (of something sinister) and ultimately the desire to eradicate it The search for a diagnosis can be as debilitating as the condition itself Maggie Nelson tries to solve the mystery of a longstanding health issue it is as if my mouth has survived a war – it has protested Nelson breadcrumbs backwards through teenage orthodontist visits recurrent battles with tonsillitis and “tongue thrust” in an attempt to find the source of the problem She diligently keeps records of appointments lugging files between GPs and several dentists whose waiting rooms show slick testimonial videos this short work is also testament to the apocalyptic uncertainty that infused that time Her partner is in a separate support bubble and Nelson makes several attempts to get their son vaccinated she confesses: “I have never felt as angry as I’ve felt over the past two years.” In this thoughtful book Nelson excavates the duties of parenthood and care loneliness and mortalityThe locus of Pathemata (ancient Greek for “sufferings”) may be pain and the pandemic but Nelson has never been a single-subject writer even in books that professed to be singular such as Jane: A Murder (the death of her aunt) or Bluets (the colour blue) she excavates the duties of parenthood and care and yet Nelson wonders why “some people with bites more fucked up than mine have no pain just like two people could have identical back MRIs but one can’t get out of bed and the other does CrossFit” It is not lost on her that the mouth has a symbolic role in the life of the writer: someone whose job revolves round words while the pain itself remains unamenable to language Mandatory face covering during Covid brings a realisation of how many emotions are expressed with the mouth Its visibility means it becomes a site of art: the rapidly moving lips of Beckett’s Not I or The Scream by Munch Nelson succumbs to the Covid routines of doomscrolling the news and watching beloved TV shows Her partner eventually returns to the house and “each activity – popcorn popping the clatter of violence on Netflix – floats into my bedroom – our bedroom – like a fresh abandonment” The pandemic’s forced confinement also means that she has to say goodbye to a dying friend by phone she can’t stop hearing her friend’s voice saying her name “No one will ever say my name like that again – no lover The way she knew me died with her; from now on Nelson reads articles about how the pandemic has killed coincidence and moments of surprise She feels that “magic is seeping out of my life” Understandable in a time of enforced lockdowns but there is a palpable link to getting older; that there is less time ahead than behind Nelson’s work never does self-pity and she admits that this failure to summon magic “is uniquely my own” Nostalgia was a balm for many during Covid and amid the possibility of a future full of fear her thesis on Anne Sexton and Sylvia Plath and a beloved feminist theory teacher the narrative repeatedly circles back to the implications and consequences of pain “Sometimes I wonder what I would have thought about all these years if I hadn’t spent so much time thinking about the pain Then I remember that I thought about a lot of other things as well.” For Nelson a life of pain must coexist alongside the other roles she inhabits: of mother The book’s full title comes from a phrase in ancient Greek meaning “learning through suffering” which is not as simple as solving what Nelson calls “the pain puzzle” The pain endured by martyrs and saints suggests penance or ecstasy but Nelson is neither religious nor seeking absolution In trying to untangle the problem of her own pain and her experience of disconnection The singular as metaphor for the collective urging us to fully inhabit the lives we have Free weekly newsletterDiscover new books and learn more about your favourite authors with our expert reviews Pathemata or, the Story of My Mouth by Maggie Nelson is published by Fern (£12.99).

Jordan Spieth makes final-hole birdie for 62 at THE CJ CUP It was the first victory this year for Scheffler after he won a total of 10 times before May in the previous three years combined, including two Masters victories. The 28-year-old Dallas resident has 14 career victories. Scheffler’s previous best finish at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson was a tie for fifth two years ago. He missed last year’s event for the birth of his first child. He cradled his year-old son, Bennett, after becoming the first wire-to-wire winner of THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson since Tom Watson 45 years ago. Scheffler shattered THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson previous scoring record of 259 set by Steven Bowditch in 2015. That tournament was played at the TPC Four Seasons. Normally a par 70, that course had a par-69 layout the final three days when heavy rain forced officials to convert a par 4 into a par 3. Bowditch finished 18 under. Scottie Scheffler hits 30-under with birdie at THE CJ CUP Scheffler's victory margin was the second-largest at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson behind Sam Snead’s 10-shot win in 1957, when it was known as the Dallas Open Invitational. Because of heavy rain Wednesday and Friday, players were allowed to lift, clean and replace their golf balls in the fairway for the first three rounds, but not in the final round. Åberg had so-called preferred lies during the first rounds at The RSM Classic in 2023. Sunday’s weather at the TPC Craig Ranch was perfect, with highs in the mid-70s and little wind.

But he missed the green left at the par-3 17th and flubbed his chip shot en route to a bogey, and he failed to get up-and-down from a greenside bunker at the par-5 18th, missing an 8-foot birdie putt and settling for par. Before those final two holes, Scheffler’s week at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson was nearly flawless. The world No. 1 carded rounds of 61-63-66-63 at TPC Craig Ranch, becoming the first wire-to-wire winner on TOUR since Lee Hodges at the 2023 3M Open (and just the third wire-to-wire winner at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson, an event that dates to 1944). Scottie Scheffler's excellent tee shot leads to birdie on No. 7 at THE CJ CUP Scheffler led the field at +12.811 Strokes Gained: Approach the Green, his second-best approach week on TOUR behind the 2024 Memorial Tournament presented by Workday (+12.96). He also ranked third in Strokes Gained: Off-the-Tee and sixth in Strokes Gained: Putting. Prior to Scheffler’s bogey on No. 17, CBS analyst Colt Knost received a tongue-in-cheek text from Thomas that encouraged Scheffler to be satisfied with a share of the record: “Tell Scottie to just make bogey-par and tie my 72-hole record, please … 31-under is just fine,” Thomas texted Knost. “Take pride in that.” Scheffler obliged – and he certainly took pride in his first PGA TOUR stroke-play title in Texas, at the same event where he made his first TOUR start in 2014 at age 17. “It feels like a lifetime of hard work and sacrifice for little moments like these,” said Scheffler, who also won the 2022 WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play in Texas. “And they're pretty special.” Sign In Subscribe Now Nelson's hospital was locked down and a street closed off as police executed a search warrant at a home Sunday evening The City of Nelson said in a statement Monday that a section of View Street and Kootenay Lake Hospital were closed as a safety precaution by request of the Nelson Police Department which had been authorized to search a home following an illicit drug and illegal firearms investigation Two people were taken into custody and a quantity of illegal drugs and cash were seized The individuals arrested in the residence are facing potential charges for possession for the purpose of trafficking under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act as well as charges related to the proceeds of crime.  Other individuals associated to the residence are also under investigation for related offences Police did not identify the people arrested Dialogue and debate are integral to a free society and we welcome and encourage you to share your views on the issues of the day.

Prime Minister Mark Carney could always reach out to the Bloc Québécois in passing future legislation although asking a willing separatist party to help prevent our country from becoming a 51st state seems rather hypocritical for someone branding himself as Captain Canada Your weekday lunchtime roundup of curated links By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc The next issue of Noon News Roundup will soon be in your inbox Interested in more newsletters? Browse here. Regardless, neither option bodes well for Alberta. It was already a long shot that Carney would follow through on those grandiose plans to kick-start development by rapidly building much-needed infrastructure, while deep-sixing interprovincial trade barriers and making Canada an energy powerhouse. But now he needs opposition support. Plus, he must reward an expanded caucus of enthusiastic Quebec MPs. Therefore, that previous rhetoric will be quickly deposited in the not-required-policy dustbin. Why? Well, for example, take a recent study by the respected MEI think-tank showing Quebec leads the country by enjoying 35 exemptions from the Canadian Free Trade Agreement, whilst Alberta has just six. Which model will Carney now support? Meanwhile, the federal Conservatives will retreat to lick their wounds after the fourth defeat in a row at Liberal hands. As for leader Pierre Poilievre, it’s one thing to lose a close election, but losing your own seat in the process is a dagger to any political heart. His days look numbered. Chances are, Carney will govern for about 18 months before calling another vote, telling Canadians he requires a stronger mandate to do something or other. (Whatever issue he settles upon, it’s guaranteed to cost another bucketful of borrowed money.) So, is there anyone left who can stand against these resurgent Liberals, allied to those fellow travellers from various other parties? Oh yes. There is one. That would be Alberta Premier Danielle Smith. She is now the biggest thorn in Carney’s side. Sure, Smith wasn’t on the ballot, but her constant battle over Liberal overreach into provincial affairs has made her a lightning rod for criticism across Canada. That the Alberta vote held fast is therefore her vindication, more than it was for those Conservative MPs now returning to Ottawa on her coattails. They should remember that in the uneasy months ahead. And what about provincial NDP Leader and former Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi? Where does he sit, after so many NDP votes turned to the Grits? Maybe they are simply following his lead, suggesting those two parties should align under a purple banner. Hey, Nenshi knows just the fellow to lead it. But continuing to attack Smith over her fight on behalf of Alberta is a losing strategy. In that game, she holds all the cards. If Nenshi can’t see that, he’s doomed. Of course, had Poilievre won, then the ongoing dumpster fire involving our provincial health-care system would have enveloped the premier. The NDP could have ridden that particular turkey to victory in a few years. That no longer holds. Today, Smith stands as the last bastion against the age-old encroachment by Central Canada into our affairs. She has nothing to gain by standing down. Neither does Alberta: witness the two-thirds of votes cast for the Conservatives. Alberta didn’t blink. The battle has just begun.

2025: Winner payout purseThis year's total purse for the 2025 CJ Cup Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney The pressing social challenges of homelessness and mental health crises in British Columbia demanded action from government and service agencies the swift response inadvertently led to negative community repercussions stemming from the inadequate operations of certain street-level services These issues heightened community concerns regarding safety and adversely affected the viability of small businesses in affected areas this situation has resulted in an inconsistent delivery of services often failing to effectively meet individual needs and ensure community safety The Nelson and District Chamber of Commerce has been and will continue to be committed to addressing rising safety concerns and offering solutions It has been our belief that you can’t have strong communities without safe downtowns and strong businesses that generate the jobs revenues and tax increase and that goes a long way towards delivering the social supports we have come to expect We want to ensure business voices are always at the heart of the conversation on public safety and drive real The Chamber has been an advocate for public safety solutions for years with an increased focus since the provincial government implemented the decriminalization legislation more than two years ago The government was steadfast in its belief that the three-year pilot program would ease the overdose deaths on our streets the province addressed some of the concerns by implementing amendments to the legislation to address the open public consumption rules.  People are not allowed to use or possess illicit drugs in public spaces Substance-use disorder can cause those addicted to turn to theft or any means to get their next fix There are still challenges with property crimes these laws are being broken by a small handful of individuals and that leads to frustration over seemingly catch and release for repeat offenders Premier David Eby and Minister and MLA Brittny Anderson recently hosted a small community roundtable on public safety It included representatives from city council the Nelson and District Chamber of Commerce and local social service providers NPD has stressed that a handful of individuals are the cause of regular call outs property crime repeat offenders have caused frustration for police as well as community members and businesses The strong message delivered to the premier by Chief Donovan Fisher and the Chamber was that repeat offenders of property crimes need to be made a priority by the provincial government Premier Eby's visit comes after local police and business owners voiced concerns about a rise in downtown crime as well as a lack of resources available to deal with it There is public policy for repeat violent offenders but so far none of the crimes in our community reach that threshold The Chamber and the NPD suggested lowering the threshold to include repeat violations of property crimes We were pleased to see the Premier was open to the idea and will determine how those changes could be implemented in the future He added the province is also lobbying the federal government to review bail provisions as a way of giving judges the ability to keep offenders in custody That is also a position the Chamber has advocated for through letters to the Premier Participants at the meeting also asked Eby to increase access to complex-care housing for people with mental-health issues substance-use disorders and brain injuries There are currently no such beds available in Nelson In partnerships with the Canadian Chamber and BC Chamber of Commerce we will work collaboratively to advocate for stronger measures to deal with violent and repeat offenders while also advocating for better front-line support for vulnerable populations and minimum service standards and to ensure that provincial budgets allocate the resources necessary to implement and deliver those standards.  Tom Thomson is executive director of the Nelson and District Chamber of Commerce Dialogue and debate are integral to a free society and we welcome

Scottie Scheffler finished at 31 under (!) and won by eight (!) shots. It was his first win of 2025, and as he looks ahead to the rest of the major championship season – and his FedExCup defense – he is very much dialed in. “What he's doing is inspiring, what he's been doing is inspiring,” said Jordan Spieth, who grew up hearing about Scheffler, a town over, who was younger and really, really good. “I mean, it wasn’t that long ago I was definitely better than him, and now I'm definitely not right now. “I hate admitting that about anybody, but I just watched it those first two rounds, and like I've got to get better. It's very inspiring.” Scheffler finished with an 8-under 63 Sunday, going out in a 6-under 30 after making eagle on the par-5 ninth. He added three more birdies in his first six holes on the back nine, before his almost laugh-out-loud flubbed chip on the penultimate hole, leading to a bogey. The win was made official, though, with an easy par to close things out. “I don't play with the world number one too often, and you’re almost flabbergasted in a way because, like that 5-iron on nine comes to mind because I hit it to whatever it was, five feet, and he just makes eagle,” said Erik van Rooyen, who had his own 8-under 63 and finished at 23 under, which would have been the lowest or tied for the lowest score at this event every year in its history, save two – and this year. “There’s nothing you can do. Scottie was practically flawless, which is kind of what you expect from the world number one.” Hats off to van Rooyen, however, and Scheffler would be the first to admit it. “This is a golf course where you can kind of make a run, and I knew that I couldn't just coast to the finish line today. I knew I had to put together a good round. Let's say I played super safe today and shot even par, Erik would have chased me down there,” Scheffler said. “I knew I had to get out and make some birdies. Did a good job on the front nine and was able to play some consistent golf here.” So, there you go. Scheffler, the game’s top player and reigning Player of the Year, finally got his first trophy of 2025. It wasn’t like he was playing poorly leading into the week – this was his sixth top-10 finish of the season, the most on TOUR. He is also second in Strokes Gained: Total and SG: Tee-to-Green. It’s been a tidy year despite a delayed start after hurting his hand making Christmastime ravioli and needing surgery. Through the beginning part of 2025, Rory McIlroy hasn’t yet taken the No. 1 spot from Scheffler in the Official World Golf Ranking, but he’s certainly playing like it with three wins already, including THE PLAYERS and the Masters. Last year, McIlroy said he took some inspiration from how Scheffler was dominating week in and week out. The tables haven’t quite turned, but Scheffler said he’s fired up to compete even harder. “I think that's what's great about our game,” Scheffler said. “This week, I was the best player. I have the week off, and we'll see the week after who is the best player at the PGA. Rory has been playing some tremendous golf this year. The career Grand Slam was really special to watch. I was glad to be able to be there for it. “I think any time you're getting beat, you're always fired up just a little bit extra to go out and practice.” After the delayed start to his year, it’s not like, in the grand scheme of things, it took him that long to find the winner’s circle. It’s barely May. But when Scheffler is compared to, well, Scheffler '24, it seems like the question of “when” was getting a little too loud for his liking. As the saying goes, then, there’s no place like home. Scottie Scheffler’s interview after winning the THE CJ CUP When Scheffler was addressing the crowd after the win, he got choked up. The event means a lot to him for a variety of reasons. He grew up watching it in person, and as a high schooler, he got to have his first TOUR start at it. The girl he was dating then is now his wife. His sister was his caddie, and she was there Sunday along with her two kids. He gave them the best thing to cheer about. “My family was all able to be here, and it was just really, really special memories, and I think at times it all comes crashing down to me at once. We have a lot of great memories as kids coming to watch this tournament,” Scheffler said. “I just dreamed to be able to play in it, and it's more of a dream to be able to win it.” Kootenay Co-op Radio

Nelson and Kootenay Lake Tourism Nelson’s residents will bear the brunt of the burden of taxation again as the city contemplates its annual tax rate bylaw Each year Nelson city council approves a five-year financial plan which establishes the annual budget and priorities as well as an annual tax rate bylaw in order to collect the appropriate funds to finance the activities Municipal taxes make up approximately half of the taxes on a typical tax notice Assessment and Municipal Finance Authority taxes make up the other half “The city takes a “fixed share approach” to tax rates between classes; where the share of the total tax levy collected from each property class remains consistent over time subject to adjustments arising from non-market (i.e new construction) change in the assessment role or council decisions to adjust the share for each class,” he said in his report to council on April 16 73 per cent of property tax will be contributed by residential taxpayers with the remaining two per cent is coming from utilities and other classes Last week city council passed the first three readings on the bylaw with adoption pending — the Community Charter requires that council adopt tax rates before May 15 This year City of Nelson taxes are due at the end of the business day on July 2 The city charges a 10 per cent penalty on taxes paid after this date The City of Nelson Tax Rate Bylaw also includes tax rates for the regional district and regional hospital based on the requisitions received by these authorities “While significant increases in taxes can strain homeowner budgets increases below inflation often lead to decreases in service levels,” said Jury in his report “Balancing the service level provided by the city with the impact on property owners is important.” that’s the theme for Emergency Preparedness Week 2025 (May 4 to 10) a national campaign to remind people that preparing for emergencies is a shared responsibility the ability to respond

2 p.m. Anyone registered with the RDCK’s Emergency Notification System will receive a test notification by text will conduct a separate test of their notification system earlier on the same day This week is a great time to take a few simple steps to improve your readiness: An investigation by city police has uncovered an alleged illicit drug and illegal firearms operation through the execution of a “high-risk” search warrant Sunday night in Nelson The Nelson Police Department (NPD) executed the search warrant on a residence located on View Street The search warrant was authorized after an NPD

searching for volunteers for this year's Canada Day celebrations Mayor Diana Lockwood said that the Village needs between 75 to 100 people to lend a helping hand Canada Day is an important time for many local non-profits and businesses in the area It also gives some organizations the opportunity to generate a big bulk of their funds for the year Lockwood mentioned during a previous Lion's Club meeting that it has been difficult to cultivate more volunteers over the years "Since the village has taken over Canada Day there is a struggle every year to find volunteers to do certain jobs Those who are interested in contributing can call 250-357-9433 Remember to leave your name and phone number with the Village staff so they are able to match you with a volunteer position The search for the 21-year-old man who went missing after his kayak overturned on Kootenay Lake has transitioned into a recovery operation although the chance of the man still reaching the shore is not impossible "Given the timeframe that's passed I don't want there to be any false hope out there or levels of false hope that it is likely .. we are conducting a search and a recovery effort," said Creston RCMP Staff Sgt police received a call regarding an overturned kayak on Kootenay Lake just north of Creston The three parties involved were kayaking across the lake to the area known by the public as "Trashcan Beach." Midway across the lake the two leading parties peered behind them to notice that the third party's kayak had been overturned and they were unable to see him Making their way to shore the two individuals began searching for the third party to see if he had managed to swim to shore which initiated a response from provincial emergency services and several SAR teams from the surrounding area an extensive search has been ongoing that includes underwater and air drones scent canines and other equipment to locate the missing man but the primary search area is in open water," said Buliziuk The surrounding area is currently loosely closed off and police have expressed that though they appreciate offers from the general public to help they are asking people to avoid the area to mitigate potential cross-contamination for the use of the canines Everybody's willing to drop what they're doing and come out and help when there's a tragedy," said Buliziuk The recovery search for the man is still ongoing May 1 - Creston man, 21, goes missing on Kootenay Lake after kayak capsized A wildfire sprang up Thursday morning in the southern end of the Slocan Valley creating spring flashbacks to a 2024 fire season still scarring the landscape and the psyche of valley residents having the valley burn so hot for so long and to such an extent last year might be six months in the past but a .6-hectare fire near Jacob Creek reported at 9:17 a.m by the Southeast Wildfire Centre brings memories of the threat of fire back to the present “I haven’t even prepared my yard for spring let alone wildfire season,” he said on Thursday from his home north of Crescent Valley “I don’t know how I could manage an evacuation order this early already.” The human-caused fire occurred in an area where there are no current area restrictions Wildfire Service (BCWS) issued a warning for the southern interior urging people to postpone any open burning until the windy conditions pass and to use extra caution when camping in the backcountry dry conditions and strong winds in much of southern B.C The Southeast centre described the fire as one that is project “based on fuel and weather conditions and resource availability The fire is considered “being held.” There are no evacuation alerts or orders associated with the fire Wildfire season hinges now on the foresight to not have the oversight and respect the climactic conditions that are building in the southeast region The BCWS has issued a warning for the southern interior “We are expecting active weather in the coming days that could set the stage for dangerous wildfire conditions across the province,” it read People planning to have campfires should do so safely Open-burning prohibitions are expected to be in place in the coming weeks and will be updated as conditions change “This is the time of year when we’re at the most risk for human-caused wildfires in B.C. most of which are entirely preventable,” said Ravi Parmar “We all have a role to play in reducing wildfire risk by remaining vigilant People are encouraged to stay up-to-date on current wildfire activity and check for road closures and follow instructions from local governments or First Nations The BC Wildfire Service mobile app allows people to check the current wildfire situation evacuation information and weather forecasts Users can also report new wildfires and submit photos which helps inform BC Wildfire Service operational decision-making Sunday Scottie Scheffler looks to secure 14th PGA Tour win at the 2025 CJ Cup Byron Nelson Lone Star legend and World No. 1, Scheffler extended his significant lead from six strokes to eight during the third round of the CJ Cup Byron Nelson — getting him one step closer to his first PGA Tour win of the 2025 season.  A win here, Scheffler explained, would be especially meaningful. Not only would it be his second career victory in his home state, but it would also come at the site of his PGA Tour debut — where he first teed it up at this event back in 2014 as a 17-year-old amateur, with an impressive T-22 finish. “It would mean a lot,” Scheffler said. “This tournament has been good to me over the years. It was my first professional start in 2014. They gave me a spot when I was in high school. Had a great week. This tournament means a lot to me. I grew up coming out here to watch.”  Beyond the emotional value, a win today would also mark Scheffler’s fourth consecutive season win and make him the 72nd player in PGA Tour history to reach 14 wins. Based on his mindset, Scheffler is ready to close it out.  “Tomorrow should be a fun day and a good opportunity for me to go out and have a good round and hopefully win a tournament,” he said.  If he can do it, Scheffler will head home with 1.782 million, 500 FedEx Cup points and a little more Texas golf history attached to his name.

Gord Nelson says it will lighten his load to sell a portion of his vast collection of vehicles said Thursday there were just too many vehicles on his property with every one of them taking a little work to maintain “It’s starting to be a burden to maintain them all,” he said Nelson is selling some of the higher-end cars he never drives as well as some project vehicles he knows he won’t get to A 1966 Dodge Charger 426 Hemi — on which Nelson has spared no expense — is among the jewels of his collection that he’s selling With Nelson not wanting to drive the muscle car on gravel roads — he’s put about 240 kilometres on it — he says he would need to load it onto a trailer before taking it for a spin 1971 Ford Mustang and a 1962 Chevrolet Impala are also among the “nicer” vehicles he’s selling I don’t like tying them down,” said Nelson of the high-end vehicles which he’s put a lot of time and money into Nelson says he will still have more than 200 vehicles left who’s driven all the good ones — about 25 to 30 vehicles — in his collection try to take a car to a couple of parades each year said there’s always equipment that could be bought for the farm or the money could be put away for retirement Nelson spends his winter fixing up and maintaining his vehicles He takes his coffee to his shop in the morning and starts “puttering.” “Winter is when I make the progress,” he said Nelson is currently working on several projects including modernizing the drivetrain of an old school bus from Lomond “I’ll leave the outside looking just like it did when they were hauling kids around,” he said “They’re not all muscle cars.

Taylor Pendrith wins THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson 2024 The PGA TOUR returns to the Lone Star State for THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson THE CJ CUP is the final event for players to qualify for the Truist Championship following up his Thursday round of 61 with a Friday effort of 63 amid a lengthy weather delay to lead the tournament by six strokes over Sam Stevens at 18-under Ricky Castillo and Kurt Kitayama who finished Round 2 on Saturday after play was suspended for darkness Round 3 starting times are from 2:25-4:15 p.m off of the first and 10th tees in groups of three Preview ‘Korn Ferry Presents: All-Access Club Car Championship’ PGA TOUR LIVE is available exclusively on ESPN+ Scottie Scheffler's search for first win of 2025 off to incredible start through two rounds at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson Leader of PGA TOUR Americas event receives one-stroke penalty for slow play The Five: Big-name FedExCup bubble boys midway through PGA TOUR season Despite 'wild journey,' Noah Goodwin wouldn't change anything about his path to PGA TOUR Scottie Scheffler nearly aces No. 15 at THE CJ CUP, brings lead back to six There may have been barely a shred of light left Saturday night at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson, but after one more birdie – in the dark – Scottie Scheffler will head into Sunday’s finale at TPC Craig Ranch with an eight-shot lead. And very likely the first step towards a return to the PGA TOUR winner circle. Scheffler, who is looking for his first win of 2025, was 2 under after three holes in his third round before giving one back on the par-3 4th – his first bogey of the week. He added another birdie on the par-5 9th before bogeying the par-4 11th. He drove the green on the short par-4 14th, leaving his tee ball just 13 feet away en route to another birdie. He added circles on his card on Nos. 15 and 18 to come in with a 5-under 66. “It was good golf. I did a good job getting it around today,” Scheffler explained. “I definitely wasn’t as sharp as I was the last two days, but overall I posted a pretty good score. Over a 72-hole tournament you're going to have days, or typically at least one day where your swing's not firing on all cylinders like it was the first two days. It's all about how you battle through that.” Scottie Scheffler drives the green for birdie on No. 14 at THE CJ CUP Scheffler’s previous low 54-hole total on the PGA TOUR is 193, which came at the 2024 Travelers Championship, which he would go on to win. He’s at 23-under 190 through three rounds at TPC Craig Ranch – essentially his hometown event. He got his first TOUR start here in 2014 while still in high school. “This tournament means a lot to me,” Scheffler said. “I grew up coming out here to watch. “Tomorrow should be a fun day and a good opportunity for me to go out and have a good round and hopefully win a tournament.” If Scheffler were to go on to win, it would be his first official win since the TOUR Championship last September (Scheffler won the Hero World Challenge in December). Scheffler has five top-10s so far this season, with his best result, a T2, coming at the Texas Children’s Houston Open. The widest margin of victory in Scheffler’s career was five shots, which he’s done twice – at both the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard and THE PLAYERS Championship in 2023. Unless Scheffler completely implodes Sunday, the margin-of-victory number could likely be in jeopardy. The last golfer to have an eight-shot lead on the PGA TOUR through 54 holes was Rory McIlroy at the 2011 U.S. Open. The reigning Player of the Year is not teeing it up next week at the Truist Championship (he did not play the event in 2024, either) but is set to be in action at the PGA Championship, the second major of the year. There is a three-way tie for second heading into Sunday with Erik van Rooyen, Adam Schenk and Ricky Castillo all at 15 under. Van Rooyen, Schenk, and Castillo all have a great chance to earn their way into the Truist Championship via the Aon Swing 5 if they remain near the top of the board come Sunday night. With Scheffler’s big-time advantage, a secondary prize may be the thing they’re shooting for. “He's the best player in the world for a reason,” Schenk said. “I try to think of a situation where it's an advantage to me to catch up to him tomorrow and I really can't come up with one – unless I just make a whole bunch of putts.” The third round was delayed with the second round needing to be pushed into Saturday morning due to a six-plus hour weather delay Friday. Golfers teed off in threesomes of Nos. 1 and 10. McKINNEY, Texas -- Scottie Scheffler and Jordan Spieth share a strong desire to win their hometown event his good friend who is also a fellow Dallas resident and Texas alum shooting an 8-under 63 to reach 18 under through 36 holes as one of the early finishers in a weather-delayed second round About half the field didn't complete the round after a six-hour delay the last of the players not teeing off until about 15 minutes before sunset at soggy TPC Craig Ranch in a Dallas suburb They all figure to be chasing Scheffler this weekend with Spieth probably too far back to be among the contenders Play was suspended for darkness with Scheffler leading Sam Stevens (65) by six shots "This tournament definitely means a lot to me," said Scheffler who made his PGA Tour debut at the Byron Nelson in 2014 -- four years after Spieth became an instant hometown favorite by contending on Sunday as a 16-year-old high school junior "It's going to be a lot of fun to play here and have a chance to win." TPC Craig Ranch, which yields low scores even without pillow-soft conditions, was no match for Scheffler. He opened with a 61 on Thursday, and his total of 124 beat the previous 36-hole best at the Nelson by two shots. The two-time Masters champion missed Justin Thomas' 36-hole PGA Tour record from 2017 by one stroke although he figures to be safely inside the cut line after a 67 that put him at 6 under Jhonattan Vegas, a Venezuelan who also played for the Longhorns, finished his 69 and was eight shots behind Scheffler after starting the day two back. Ricky Castillo was 10 under in the 18th fairway when play was suspended started on the back nine and parred his first eight holes before an eagle at the par-5 18th just before play was suspended and several hours of rain followed -- for the second time in three days water sprayed from most of the shots in the fairway who hit 12 of 14 fairways and had six birdies over his final nine holes "There were some fairways that were pretty wet I think the golf course held up pretty well," Scheffler said Defending champion Taylor Pendrith shot 71 and was 4 under The weather forecast had Scheffler believing a long delay was coming before his round started he spent most of the time in the clubhouse "The food is just sitting there," Scheffler said kind of hung out with some of the guys and didn't do too much." The delay didn't stop the momentum from the eagle that beat the weather All six of his birdie putts were inside 15 feet "We're on a golf course where you've got to make some birdies and the conditions today were changing a good amount," Scheffler said Getting back out and playing in some wind and some pretty wet fairways Stevens birdied four of his last six holes and played the first two rounds without a bogey The 28-year-old seeking his first PGA Tour victory was second at the Farmers Insurance Open in January "There's so many birdies out here and there's so much golf to be played I need to keep my head down," Stevens said "And if I get in a situation where I'm in contention with nine holes to go Information from The Associated Press was used in this report Jordan Spieth chips in for seventh birdie in final round on No. 12 at THE CJ CUP Jordan Spieth won’t catch his fellow Texan Scottie Scheffler at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson Sunday, but with his lowest round in nearly a half-decade in the books, Spieth can take plenty of momentum and confidence into the busy summertime stretch on the PGA TOUR. Spieth shot a 9-under 62 Sunday at TPC Craig Ranch, his lowest 18-hole score on TOUR since August 2021. He got as high as second on the leaderboard as Scheffler continued his march closer the title – he sat 31-under par through 14 holes – but as Spieth heads into next week at the Truist Championship, and continues his own hunt for the career Grand Slam at the PGA Championship, he’s on a run of four-straight weeks of top-20 finishes. Spieth made five birdies on his opening nine holes Sunday, including a run of three in a row on Nos. 4-6. He made back-to-back birdies on Nos. 11-12 before adding one more circle on the card on par-4 14th before one more to close out his day on No. 18. His 62 tied his lowest final-round effort on the PGA TOUR. Jordan Spieth spins approach back for birdie on No. 11 at THE CJ CUP Spieth hasn’t won on TOUR since the RBC Heritage in 2022 and shut things down in August as he underwent surgery on his left wrist. He opened his 2025 campaign at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and finished tied for fourth the next week at the WM Phoenix Open. He added one more top-10 to his ledger – a tie for ninth at the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches – and has since gone T12-T14-T18 in his previous three tournaments starting at the Valero Texas Open. It's been a steady if unspectacular season – he’s 31st in Strokes Gained: Total so far in 2025 – but this recent run of good play, along with Sunday’s final tally, is nothing but positive. “The ultimate goal is consistent play, but it's not bogey avoidance or anything like that. I'm not changing strategy. It's just that my mechanics are just getting a little bit better each week,” Spieth said. “I'm able to do sufficient stuff maybe that I wasn't able to do last year, that maybe my wrist is holding me back, I'm not sure. I feel really good about what we're working on.” With the PGA Championship around the corner, Spieth’s own chase for a career Grand Slam was again brought to the forefront of many in the golf world after Rory McIlroy’s green jacket triumph in April. There haven’t been the brutal heartbreaks and the ongoing question about Spieth’s chase, with Augusta National playing host to the same April tradition year after year, but with McIlroy checking the game’s biggest box, well, what about Spieth? "It's obviously a very challenging week for him. It was harder than anybody, maybe ever trying to win the Masters,” Spieth said on the CBS broadcast Sunday afternoon. “To be that far from his most recent major as well, and then to go do it — it was very inspiring." Good play and good vibes have Spieth ready for his own attempt at history. A Division of NBCUniversal.

capped a dominant victory at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson with the lowest 72-hole score in PGA Tour history Scheffler fired an 8-under 63 on Sunday at TPC Craig Ranch to finish at 31-under 253 first recorded by Justin Thomas at the 2017 Sony Open and again by Ludvig Åberg at the 2023 RSM Classic Scheffler rattled off four straight birdies and then capped his front nine with a 20-foot eagle make at the par-5 ninth “I never really felt like my lead was too comfortable,” Scheffler said A flubbed chip that rolled back to his feet at the par-3 17th led to bogey and Scheffler closed with par at the par-5 finishing hole Hideki Matsuyama won The Sentry earlier this year at 35 under Scheffler is now the ninth member of the 30-under club though only the second player who didn’t accomplish the

take something special for him today in order to catch me I think he did his best to put up a special round This is Scheffler’s first official PGA Tour victory since last June’s Travelers Championship

to Councillor Kate Tait’s comment that “Nelson has the opposite problem with many people trying to find ways to move here” and that “the city should grow upward rather than sprawling outward.”  I propose that Nelson build affordable housing for people already living here — people who are currently working here people who are currently contributing to the community families who currently have children attending schools here Let’s get these people into affordable housing and away from skyrocketing rents before we start catering to those who “are trying to find ways to move here.”  Scottie Scheffler leads the CJ Cup Byron Nelson after three rounds The 2025 CJ Cup Byron Nelson continues on Sunday with the fourth round at TPC Craig Ranch Here’s everything you need to know to watch the tournament on Sunday Scottie Scheffler is in control heading into Sunday’s final round of the CJ Cup Byron Nelson holding an eight-shot lead and eyeing his first PGA Tour win of the 2025 season A six-hour weather delay on Friday pushed the second round into Saturday morning which meant third-round tee times were pushed way back — and players were chasing daylight by the end of the day He birdied the 544-yard par-5 18th in complete darkness expanding his lead from six to eight shots which is the largest 54-hole lead on Tour since 2011 Scheffler admitted his game wasn’t as sharp as it was earlier in the week “I did a good job getting it around today I definitely wasn’t as sharp as I was the last two days but overall I posted a pretty good score,” Scheffler said “Over a 72-hole tournament you’re going to have days or typically at least one day where your swing’s not firing on all cylinders like it was the first two days It’s all about how you battle through that Today I did a good job and hopefully tomorrow I’ll swing a little better,” he says.   Scheffler believes it actually worked in his favor “I think even if finishing 18 [Sunday] would have cost me a shot,” Scheffler said “I think it saved me a shot tomorrow based on energy not having to come out here early and wait five hours or so to tee off.” Below you will find everything you need to know to watch

Janice Cooper dabs her eyes with an orange handkerchief as a chorus of pipe bands play in downtown Nelson was among the Canadian soldiers who helped liberate the Netherlands during the Second World War Munro played his own bag pipes in the streets of Amsterdam on the day of Germany's formal surrender in the country As Cooper listened to pipers play on Baker Street during a commemorative event Saturday she thought of her father's service and what the sound of bag pipes means to her family “I just kept so choked up when I hear the pipes Approximately 7,600 Canadians died during the eight-month campaign to free the Netherlands which during the weekend hosted visiting Canadian veterans and pipe bands president of Nelson's Royal Canadian Legion No was reminded of how Canadian forces were welcomed by the Dutch who at the time were dying by the thousands due to famine “Their suffering was terrible," said Haire. "Five years with no food but all the more reason to have this commemoration parade to show the validity of the Allies to defeat something so notorious and dangerous to humanity.” Nelson's Kootenay Kiltie Pipe Band and several other visiting bands from the B.C interior performed Saturday as spectators waved Dutch and Canadian flags who was briefly engaged to a Dutch woman while stationed in the country returned home after the war and became a member of the Kilties He taught current Pipe Major David Hogg how to play and Cooper recalled how she and her siblings would polish Munro's shoes and pipes before every performance “He gave up the pipes in his 70s because he didn't have the breath anymore but he would have been very moved to be here.” Garry Meyer was also in the crowd Saturday Meyer was just four years old in the Netherlands when the war began and recalled how difficult the famine was on a family with 10 children Meyer rarely saw his father Jan during the war Jan was a member of the Dutch resistance and had the job of assisting Allied pilots “He’d find out where a pilot had landed somewhere where he actually parachuted down and he was safe and then [Jan] would take this guy to a fishing boat and the fishing boat will go to the North Sea and meet another fishing boat from England Cooper keeps an image of Munro that his parents had painted with a row of medals lined up at the corner of the frame. The reasons why Canada fought for freedom in the Netherlands she said, are as vital today as they were then "I think it's important to remember and remind us why we are here and living in this amazing country." a generator at Nelson's hydroelectric power plant has likely stopped spinning for good Nelson Hydro announced the G2 generator at its Bonnington facility has been shut down indefinitely after general manager Scott Spencer said cracks were discovered in its operating ring last October during an annual maintenance check Operating rings control the speed of the turbine connected to the generator Nelson Hydro was installing a new control arm in the generator to replace the original component when it realized the operating ring could not be salvaged “It was probably at end of life 40 years ago and it was repaired then and now the repair has failed," said Spencer. "So it did not feel like it would be safe for us to try to repair and knowing it could just crack or break in another location.” The city-owned Bonnington facility has five generators was there when the plant opened in 1907 but has been out of service since the late 1950s It was installed in January 1910 and used on and off until 1974 when the Kootenay Canal was completed The city resumed using G2 in 1984 for freshet generation and ahead of increased water rights granted in 1988 is still in use during freshet or when one of the other generators requires maintenance G3 and G4 require an operator's manual controls when the units are started or stopped A faulty operating ring is a safety risk to the staff as well as the other nearby generators Decreased freshet may make fixing the generator not worth the expense a decrease of two days from 2023 and well down from 112 days in 2017 Spencer said the company will evaluate the business case for a new or refurbished generator over the next year Spencer described the building as "a living museum" that still has a sound foundation even though the original concrete was only built to last about a century Nelson Hydro has committed $10 million in dam safety repairs over the next decade The aging facility will need to be replaced at some point but Spencer doesn't believe that will happen for some time yet “Is there going to be a point sometime in the future when it's no longer economically viable to continue to repair At some point you can't keep up with the repairs Scottie Scheffler won his hometown CJ Cup Byron Nelson Sunday by eight shots. His 253 total (31 under) tied the lowest 72-hole aggregate score in PGA Tour history He earned $1,782,000 from the $9.9 million purse Runner-up Erik van Rooyen took home $1,079,000 Here’s a look at how the full purse was paid out at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney Davis Riley drains eagle putt to make cut at THE CJ CUP Davis Riley was assessed a two-stroke penalty Saturday morning for using a distance-measuring device that had the slope feature turned on given how flat things are at TPC Craig Ranch But rules are rules – despite how new said set of rules are he said he leaned on his caddie to steer him around his second nine and to just 11 feet on the par-5 ninth and poured in the eagle putt to see him make the cut at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson on the number and that's just part of the game,” Riley said Riley had hit his tee shot on the par-3 17th to just 12 feet and was sitting at even par for the day. Riley admitted it was a bit of a fluke situation where the rangefinder was in its case and then pulled out to measure, and in that transition, a button must have accidentally been pushed. He ended up shooting 1-over 36 for his first nine holes. “It was just kind of one of those moments where your heart sinks a little bit, like you're just throwing away two shots,” Riley said. “It is what it is. That's the rules of golf. And we certainly have a trial period here with this, and I know the USGA is trying to do something about the range finder and the pace of play. Davis Riley goes flag-hunting to set up birdie at THE CJ CUP “I don't know if there's a way around it and a different angle to look at it, but, yeah, it was just a bad break. I'm just happy the way I rallied.” Riley bounced back with a birdie on the par-5 18th after the penalty and made bogeys on Nos. 3 and 6 before coming to the ninth hole telling himself he needed an eagle to find the weekend. Riley said he hit a good drive – which barely found the rough – then hit a perfectly judged 5-iron. His putt was about three inches outside left and he hit it center cut. “I was real excited about that,” Riley said. Scottie Scheffler continues to lead THE CJ CUP by six shots with the second round wrapping up Saturday afternoon due to a lengthy weather delay on Friday, with his 8-under 63 holding up as the lowest score of the second round. This is not, however, the first time that Riley has called a penalty on himself in a tournament that involves Scheffler. In the final of the 2013 U.S. Junior Amateur, Riley called a one-stroke penalty on himself when he addressed a birdie putt and his ball moved. That resulted in him losing to Scheffler 3 and 2. The times have changed, but Riley’s integrity has not. “I love this game, and that's one of the beautiful things about this game is the integrity all of us PGA TOUR players and golfers uphold that standard to ourself,” Riley said. “This is a game of integrity, so play with it and act that way.” What a week for Scottie Scheffler in his hometown event The world's No. 1 player dominated at the 2025 CJ Cup Byron Nelson shooting 31 under to tie the PGA Tour scoring record the largest winning margin at the event since 1983 and it was the lowest score in the history of the Byron Nelson tournament The win was Scheffler's first in 2025 and his 14th of his PGA Tour career He also earned $1.782 million for the victory Here's the breakdown of how much money each player earned at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson Inclement weather might have disrupted play Friday at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson but it did nothing to prevent Scottie Scheffler from taking a commanding lead 1 is six clear of the field — with 18 players yet to begin their second rounds — after playing his final 10 holes in 8 under for a 63 who followed up a 61 on his way to an 18-under total Ricky Castillo (66) is in the clubhouse at 11 under Play was eventually called because of darkness and will resume at 8:15 a.m Scheffler eagled his ninth hole of Round 2 before play was initially halted because of lightning in the McKinney The suspension lasted six hours and 15 minutes before Scheffler and the morning wave were able to return to the course at 5 p.m he remained on that number following eight straight pars to begin the second round hitting his second shot from 233 yards to 10 feet Scheffler resumed his scoring ways at TPC Craig Ranch where they were playing preferred lies for the second straight day Scheffler’s 124 total is one shot off the PGA Tour’s opening 36-hole record (Justin Thomas After winning seven Tour events (and Olympic gold) last year Scheffler is seeking his first victory in 2025 The Dallas resident is also looking for his first win in his hometown event having skipped it last year because of the birth of his son “I feel like my game has been trending in the right direction and then I had a chance here in Houston,” Scheffler said but overall I played some pretty solid golf So I definitely feel like my game is trending in the right direction.” SLUGS: Regarding April 11 Hugs and Slugs, not to the person who broke your lamp but to the people who put lamps and another "treasures" on the side of the road clothes get mouldy and nobody ever picks up anything they leave there when nobody else wants their little "treasures."

Scheffler had his picture taken with Nelson and I'm proud to be the champion at his event."Eleven years later Scheffler made the cut as an amateur with his sister on the bag and his high school sweetheart — and now wife — walking every step in the gallery He has supported the event ever since with the exception of last year when he was awaiting the birth of his first child Scheffler said reality has exceeded his dream "I always just dreamed of playing golf on the PGA Tour," he said "I would come out on the driving range and watch these guys practice That's all I wanted to do was come out here and play a golf course that was in great shape and compete on the best golf courses in the world against the best players." Scheffler re-wrote much of the tournament record book including setting a 72-hole scoring mark of 31-under 253 which also tied the Tour’s all-time 72-hole scoring mark “It doesn’t matter where you’re playing if you’re pushing it past 30 under that’s absolutely ridiculous and that’s what he’s doing,” Jordan Spieth said Scheffler collected his 14th Tour title and his first official victory since the Tour Championship in Augusta in December.) But Scheffler injured his right hand in a freak accident on Christmas while making ravioli He required surgery and missed a couple of early-season events including a second place at the Texas Children’s Houston Open and hadn’t finished outside the top 25 in eight starts this season following it up with 63 and admittedly lacking his ‘A’ game on Saturday shot a ho-hum 66 The last golfer to have an eight-shot lead on the PGA Tour through 54 holes “(Scottie's) the best player in the world for a reason,” said Adam Schenk “I try to think of a situation where it's an advantage to me to catch up to him tomorrow and I really can't come up with one.” With the exception of bogeys at the third and 17th holes Scheffler never took his foot off the gas and continued his birdie binge dropping circles on the card at four of the first seven holes Scheffler added a 21-foot eagle for good measure 9 to shoot 30 on the front but didn’t trim his deficit 14 to shoot 8-under 63 and win the tournament's ‘B flight.’ making birdies on three of the first six holes to start the back nine he ranked first in Strokes Gained: Tee to Green SG: Approach the Green and proximity to the hole Scheffler made the game look as easy as the tournament namesake who once won 11 straight tournaments in 1945 Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee went so far as to compare Scheffler’s tee-to-green game to Tiger Woods in his heyday I never thought I’d see that but tee to green he’s Tiger Woods,” Chamblee said Scheffler’s putter wasn’t too shabby either ranking first in SG: putting in the final round and fifth for the week “He’s just playing the golf he’s played over the last few years,” Spieth said “He’s hitting the fairway and then ironing it maybe better than anybody ever has and lets the birdies come to him The courses become really easy once you have an average of like 10 feet for birdie you have to somehow find an advantage over him.” Scheffler was a man among boys and sent a message to Rory McIlroy and anyone else thinking of winning the PGA Championship in two weeks time that he’s back and ready to do battle for more majors "It feels like a lifetime of hard work and sacrifice for little moments like these
