Showtime for spellers

On what would have been the final day of the Masters, ESPN will show some masterful spellers.
The network says it will broadcast a seven-hour marathon of the Scripps National Spelling Bee on Sunday.
This year's spelling bee has been postponed indefinitely because of the coronavirus pandemic. It had been scheduled for late May at its usual location, a convention center outside Washington. Scripps hopes to reschedule the bee at an undetermined time this year.
ESPN has televised the bee since 1994. On Sunday, it will first show the 1997 bee, which was memorably won by Rebecca Sealfon of Brooklyn, New York. Sealfon's excitement when she was given her winning word of "euonym'' _ a name well suited to the person, place or thing named _ became a classic spelling bee moment when she yelled out each letter.
ESPN will also show the 2004 bee won by David Tidmarsh of South Bend, Indiana, and the 2008 bee won by Sameer Mishra of Lafayette, Indiana.-AP
