What did you watch?

Sports, and soaps.
Wimbledon - Huh, well I didn't think Sinner would actually beat Alcaraz in the men's final. And in just 4 sets. Still, Sinner won his 3 sets by a single break, so it was close.
Scottish Open - Rory McIlroy was a consistent second, but he could never overcome the two-stroke lead of eventual winner, American(!?!) Chris Gotterup. What makes this even weirder is I don't even know Gotterup - apparently he won one previous PGA event (the 2024 Myrtle Beach Classic, which is a minor PGA event occurring the same weak as the much bigger Quail Hollow Championship in Charlotte, NC). Odd that this guy came out of nowhere to win the Scottish Open, of all things!!
I saw some of the American Century Celebrity Golf Championship Tournament, the one played at Tahoe, that people like Charles Barkley and Steph Curry always show up to. An NHL guy, Joe Pavelski, won this year.
    I like how in this tournament, bogeys are counted as "even" (i.e. "0 points"), so only double-bogeys or worse actually lower your score in this one!
soaps: Both Fri's ep's.
    DOOL - Xander freaks out when Sarah asks for permission to take their daughter on a trip with Maggie to Bermuda(?) - he then takes possession of the child removing it from the Kiriakis mansion. Meanwhile, Sarah goes to NuPhilip to try to strike a deal with him to take Xander down and send him to jail. Gwen (Gwen is back!!  :D  ) refuses to return the necklace to JJ, who is acting like his usual ass self. The video card sent to Jada and the cops (has been doctored? by EJ & co.) and appears to incriminate Chanel! (I like that EJ is now determined to take Chanel down!) so Chanel is questioned by Jada.
    GH - NuMichael is as big of an ass as oldMichael, butting in when Dante is righteously ripping into Brook Lynn; but Dante is a p*ssy, and backs down to Brook Lynn, even though she should be drop kicked to Sunday! Tracy tries to talk Chase into talking Brook Lynn down from her Revenge!! mission (too late!). NuNuLulu talks to Laura about the Rocco situation. Rocco secretly reaches out to Lisel Obrecht (I wonder if she will come back to the show now!)... That lil' bitch Trina seems to break up with Kai when Kai admits that he warned Drew about Curtis admittedly shady and illegal plan to frame Drew for a crime. Curtis warns Michael that he's having to knuckle under to Drew's blackmail... Ha! When Vaughn and Emma get trapped in getting queried by Anna Devane, Vaughn is forced to call in Josslyn to stage a very public "reconciliation" (kissy face!! and Josslyn was even wearing a slutty dress to sell it!) to throw Emma and thus Anna off their trail!
I left "If I Go Missing" on Lifetime on as background noise in the evening - it's too bad this film is tonally a mess, as there's a kernel of an interesting idea in here, but I don't think they got to it with what they did here.
What did you watch?
