Day 820

• Oklahoma is back to back national champions in softball.  59-3.  The loss in the Omaha tournament allows the record to stand, though, for the highest winning percentage in a season.
• That's 115-7 for the back-to-back.  There was no 2020 tournament, and they were 20-4 when COVID hit.  So that's 135-11 the last three seasons.  Their last meaningful defeat was in June of 2019, when they lost the championship series to UCLA in a two-game sweep.

1. 2022:  Champs
2. 2021:  Champs
3. 2020:  No Tournament
4. 2019:  Finals, UCLA 0-2
5. 2018:  Double elimination phase, Washington
6. 2017:  Champs
7. 2016:  Champs
8. 2015 was the last year they haven't made the Omaha tournament (eliminated at the last level before by Alabama)

• After the loss to set up a double-elimination game with UCLA, Oklahoma went 15-0, 16-1, 10-5 to win the championship.
• Speaking of domination, the Tampa Bay Lightning are now one win over the New York Rangers from securing their third consecutive Stanley Cup.  They would become the first team since the 1979-80 to 1983-84 New York Islanders to win at least three in a row.  And the year before that was the year they won the President's Trophy and didn't win a single game in the playoffs.
• Phil Mickelson had a golf reporter physically removed from the LIV Tour press conference after the first round of play in London on Thursday.
• There is both individual and team competition in the LIV Tour.  Charl Schwarzel leads the individual competition in the first 54-hole tournament, shooting 5 under par.  Hennie du Plessis shot 4 under, two golfers shot 3 under.
• One of the features of the LIV Tour -- a shotgun start, where players tee off on all 18 holes simultaneously.  As much as possible, all will face equal conditions.
• The reported addition of Bryson Dechambeau has cost him his Rocket Mortgage sponsorship.
