Longshore and McKnight: Tommy Fleetwood blows lead at Travelers Championship, Oklahoma City clinches title, LSU wins MCWS after controversial ejection of Coastal Carolina coaches, and more…

In today’s episode of Longshore and McKnight, hosts John Longshore and Barry McKnight reunite to cover Tommy Fleetwood’s dramatic collapse at the Travelers Championship, where he lost a three-stroke lead with four holes remaining, dropping to 0-for-84 on the PGA Tour. They then shifted to the NBA Finals, where Oklahoma City clinched the title but not without a costly twist: Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton tore his Achilles in the first quarter of Game 7, ending Indiana’s hopes and prompting a broader conversation about how injuries reshape legacies.

The show also unpacked LSU’s 5–3 win over Coastal Carolina in the College World Series, but the ejection of Coastal’s head and first base coaches in the opening inning stole the spotlight. The hosts called the umpiring “an embarrassment” and criticized the NCAA’s real-time response. Guest Andy Burcham, voice of the Auburn Tigers, later discussed the SEC’s slow march toward a nine-game football schedule—blaming stalled ESPN negotiations—and previewed Auburn’s looming season opener against Baylor. He called the road matchup “very, very important” for Hugh Freeze’s program as it works to re-establish itself in a deepening SEC.
