Scheffler seeks Presidents Cup turnaround despite status as golf's world No.1

Scheffler seeks Presidents Cup turnaround despite status as golf's world No.1

Medinah, Illinois: Scottie Scheffler may be the undisputed world No.1 and one of golf's most successful players of the past five years, but his record in team events tells a different story. Despite winning 25 tournaments worldwide and completing three legs of the career Grand Slam, Scheffler has struggled to replicate that dominance in the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. The American owns a 3-5-1 record in two Presidents Cup appearances and a 3-6-3 record in the Ryder Cup. Last year, he avoided going winless at Bethpage Black by defeating Rory McIlroy in the singles, finishing the week with a 1-4-0 record. Neither Scheffler nor US captain Brandt Snedeker appears overly concerned. "Scottie Scheffler being Scottie Scheffler is the most important thing for us as a team," Snedeker said during practice at Medinah. "We just want Scottie to go out there and be comfortable." Snedeker noted that even Tiger Woods, widely regarded as one of golf's greatest players, experienced mixed fortunes in team events. Woods compiled a 13-21-3 Ryder Cup record despite dominating the sport for years, although he enjoyed considerably greater success in the Presidents Cup. Scheffler made an impressive Ryder Cup debut in 2021 at Whistling Straits, going unbeaten in three matches and defeating Jon Rahm. However, he later went eight consecutive matches across the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup without a victory before partnering Russell Henley to win the opening match of the 2024 Presidents Cup. The 30-year-old believes part of the challenge may be trying too hard. "When you look at this format and maybe my record hasn't matched up to what I think that it should be, could it be trying too hard? I think that's definitely a factor," Scheffler said. "For me, it's different because you have a partner with you and you're playing for somebody outside yourself." Scheffler has spent practice rounds this week with Sam Burns, one of his closest friends on the PGA Tour. The pair have yet to win together in Presidents Cup or Ryder Cup competition, compiling a 0-3-1 record as a partnership. Burns admitted those results have been frustrating but said the pair remain focused on helping the United States collect points. The Americans enter the Presidents Cup as overwhelming favourites and are seeking an 11th consecutive title dating back to 2005. Scheffler enjoyed another outstanding individual season. He won his first event of the year in California in January and later captured two of the three FedEx Cup Playoff events. His only missed opportunity in the postseason came at the BMW Championship, where he competed despite suffering from hand, foot and mouth disease. For Scheffler, success this week will not necessarily be measured by a perfect record. "A successful week for me is not necessarily winning all five matches," he said. "It's showing up and controlling what I can control and going out there and doing my best." Snedeker echoed that view, stressing that the outcome will depend on the entire American team rather than one player. "Scottie Scheffler is not going to be the reason we win or lose," Snedeker said. "It's going to have to be 12 people pitching in and doing their job."

Airborne Affordable Flyers 09.15.26: MVN Show Survives, Alto NG, King Schools

Also: RISEN SV 916 Record, Blackwing Heading To US Mkt, Nat'l Aerobatic Championships, Texarkana College & MOSAIC An Aero-News team made its way to the Midwest Aviation Expo in Mount Vernon, Illinois, this past week, and while the event has certainly seen better days, its underlying potential remains obvious. Thursday’s weather complicated arrivals, exhibitor participation was down from previous years, and several manufacturers—including some once considered regular attractions—failed to appear. Inadequate marketing appears to be a significant part of the problem. DirectFly USA’s Alto NG is a Czech-built, all-metal, two-place light-sport aircraft developed from more than 15 years of experience with the original Alto in flight schools, aeroclubs, and private ownership. The NG replaced the earlier configuration in 2022, bringing several structural and operational refinements. Powered by the 100-horsepower Rotax 912 ULS, the low-wing Alto NG has a maximum takeoff weight of 1,320 pounds and an empty weight beginning around 705 pounds, depending upon equipment. Published performance includes a 97-knot cruise speed, 140-knot VNE, 41-knot landing-configuration stall speed, and approximately 1,000 feet per minute of climb. King Schools has introduced a redesigned, user-focused interface intended to make its aviation training products easier to navigate and use across multiple devices. The update applies to educational programs for pilots and aviation maintenance technicians, bringing ground-school lessons and FAA knowledge-test preparation into a more cohesive training environment. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!

Google AI Overviews can defame

CHICAGO — A federal court in Illinois allowed an author and TV producer to proceed with defamation claims against Google over AI Overviews that allegedly falsely stated he was serving life in prison and had murdered three women. His 1997 conviction for conspiracy to distribute drugs after he helped the FBI as a prison informant to gather information about a suspected serial killer. The AI-generated statements can reasonably be understood as factual and the author plausibly pleaded actual malice by alleging he repeatedly notified Google that its AI Overviews contained false information, but similar statement continued to appear.

Federal court rejects Trump order keeping Michigan coal plant open

Federal court rejects Trump order keeping Michigan coal plant open

A federal court is declaring that the energy department exceeded its authority when it forced a Michigan power plant to stay open past its scheduled retirement date In a defeat for the Trump administration, a federal court on Friday ruled that the energy department exceeded its authority when it forced a Michigan coal-fired power plant to stay open past its scheduled retirement date last year. Energy secretary Chris Wright had said the 64-year-old JH Campbell Generating Plant was needed to ensure reliable electricity in the region, and he used emergency powers to keep it operating. Environmental groups and three states – Michigan, Illinois and Minnesota – went to court to try to overturn orders keeping the plant online. Continue reading...
