Augusta, GA – After success with his back-to-back wins at Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players Championship, Scottie Scheffler came confidently to Augusta National Golf Club to grab another green jacket, this time belongs to his wife Meredith, who's pregnant. Two years ago in 2022 , Scheffler won his first green coat for himself and for Texas after avoiding pressure from Australia's Cameron Smith. This time though , the 27 year-old Texan faced yet another pressure against Ludvig Aberg, who threated Scheffler until the Swede (Aberg) and another contender Max Homa, just like Smith in 2022, being punished at the Amen Corner. Scheffler once again calmly faced the Amen corner by scoring pars, enroute to win his 2nd green jacket. Perhaps this jacket is for his family after he and Meredith is about to build a more harmonius family. Perhaps also he will name his kid after one of the iconic holes in Augusta National....

Suzuka – After a strangely dramatic Australian Grand Prix DNF in Melbourne two weeks ago, reigning three-time Formula One world champion Max Verstappen (Red Bull Racing) comes back stronger with his Japanese Grand Prix victory at Suzuka. Starting from pole, Max was hunted by the Ferrari drivers Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz Jr. whom the latter won the Australian GP despite still racing with injury Sainz sustained at Saudi Arabian GP. Verstappen capitalized his team strategies once again that led him to his third win of the 2024 season. 2nd place in the race belongs to the Dutchman's Mexican teammate Sergio Perez, with Sainz Jr. pipped his teammate Leclerc for final podium position in third place. 🇯🇵 Very lovely! It’s fantastic to win here in front of all these amazing fans 🙏 A great @redbullracing team result 🤜🤛 pic.twitter.com/MXRvnwzuqU — Max Verstappen (@Max33Verstappen) April 7, 2024 The next race (fifth round) of the season will take place at Shanghai International
