In PGA golf, Scottie Scheffler won the TOUR Championship at 16 under, three strokes ahead of Viktor Hovland.

In LPGA golf, Ruoning Yin captured the FM Championship at 14 under, two clear of Hyo Joo Kim, sealing it with a birdie at the 18th. In MLB, the Jays blanked the Seattle Mariners 7 to 0 to complete a three-game sweep. Max Scherzer allowed one hit over seven innings, struck out 10 and moved into ninth place in career strikeouts. The New York Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 16 to 1, as Austin Wells homered twice during a nine-run eighth and finished with five RBIs. In the CFL, the BC Lions defeated the Ottawa Redblacks 45 to 24 behind Zander Horvath’s 164 rushing yards and four touchdowns, tying a team record.
Looking ahead, Monday’s MLB schedule is led by the 85-win Milwaukee Brewers visiting the 77-win Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. Kyle Harrison brings a 10-and-3 record and 2.79 ERA for Milwaukee, while Clay Holmes counters with a 2.26 ERA for Chicago. The San Diego Padres open a series against the Cincinnati Reds with Michael King facing Brady Singer, while the New York Yankees move on to the Los Angeles Angels after strengthening their wild-card position Sunday. The Philadelphia Phillies also visit the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Beyond the scoreboard, three-time Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald has ended his two-and-a-half-year retirement, signing a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Rams and joining Myles Garrett on their defensive front.
