Solid start to the RBC Canadian Open for part-time Utah resident Tony Finau: He shot a 5-under 65 today, is currently T3 with plenty of golfers still on the course in the first round. Unfortunately, a win does not get Finau into the U.S. Open next week.

I'm working on a story for next week to come out before Father's Day on Ace Dybantsa, AJ's dad. AJ was kind enough last week to share some thoughts on his Pops (you will have to wait for those) for my article, but also talked a bit about his time at BYU:

BYU women's golf has signed Kate Walker of Crimson Cliffs High in St. George. Walker is a 3-time Utah 4A state golf medalist and had been committed to Utah Tech. Played in the Women's State Am finals last summer. deseret.com/sports/2026/05/0…

Zac Blair makes his third straight U.S. Open, but heartbreak for Patrick Fishburn (eliminated in playoff) and Kihei Akina (shot 3-under, missed cut by a single shot).

Here's my piece on the reaction to the Sorsby ruling, with Utah AD Mark Harlan, Big 12 commish Brett Yormark weighing in, BYU choosing to remain quiet, for now:

I just checked in with BYU athletics and a spokesperson there told me that BYU would not be commenting on the Sorsby matter today. Lots of outrage throughout the country, however, in and out of the Big 12.

I don't want to jinx him, but former BYU golfer Zac Blair appears well on his way to qualifying for the U.S. Open -- again. Blair is tremendous at Springfield Country Club. usopen.com/2026/qualifying/s…
