What they're saying

"
It is rare that a New York Yankees-Boston Red Sox game gets preempted for anything, especially on network television. An NBC Sports spokesman said the decision was made in consultation with the PGA Tour and Major League Baseball to stick with coverage of the golf tournament once it resumed at 7:20 p.m. EST until it finished or was suspended due to darkness. Scheffler — the world's No.. 1 player — made an 8-foot par putt on the 18th hole to force a sudden-death playoff against Viktor Hovland on Monday morning.
