Justin Bench received a warm welcome from his teammates after hitting Mississippi’s third-straight home run. (Jaylynn Nash/Reuters) Game 1 of the College World Series final was tight through seven innings. But Ole Miss rode hot bats in the eighth to ensure that it would leave Saturday with a 1-0 lead in the best-of-three championship series. TJ McCants, Calvin Harris and Justin Bench hit back-to-back-to-back home runs to blow the game open en route to a 10-3 win. McCants got the hit party… Source link

Matthew Fitzpatrick had plenty of people by his side at The Country Club on Sunday. And they were just as excited, if not more-so, in the moments that officially sealed his win at the U.S. Open. Fitzpatrick’s family were crouched down just off the green watching behind Will Zalatoris, who had a 14-foot putt to force a playoff on the 18th green. As that putt rolled just inches past the cup, his brother lost it. His brother and parents rushed out onto the green to give him hugs after it had… Source link

Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr knows what it’s like to win a championship in the NBA. After winning five as a player, Kerr picked up his fourth championship as a coach Thursday, giving him nine championship rings. If his comments Friday were any indication, celebrating championships doesn’t get old.

There perhaps hasn’t been a stronger critic of the LIV Golf Invitational Series on the PGA Tour than Rory McIlroy. After picking up his second consecutive win at the RBC Canadian Open on Sunday afternoon in Toronto, McIlroy couldn’t help but take another shot at the controversial Saudi Arabian-backed golf league. “Twenty-first PGA Tour win, one more than someone else,” McIlroy said on CBS. “That gave me a little extra incentive today. Really happy to get that done.” That… Source link

We’re just over 12 weeks away from Week 0 of the college football season on Aug. 27.

Sam Burns had to sit in the clubhouse and wait for several hours Sunday afternoon. Yet when he finally stepped back onto the course, it was as if he’d never left. Burns, after posting a 5-under 65 early in the afternoon, sank a wild birdie putt from just off the green to overtake top-ranked Scottie Scheffler and win the Charles Schwab Challenge.

MIAMI — Being a three-time NBA champion of the Miami Heat, there’s a level of cachet that follows and it would be easy to fall victim to entitlement. One scene during the second-round playoff series against the Philadelphia 76ers highlighted Udonis Haslem’s egoless mentality. Toward the end of a timeout with one minute remaining before players had to take the court again, four Heat starters had already left the bench. Bam Adebayo was the lone starter still resting in his seat. Haslem… Source link

LAS VEGAS — Jan Blachowicz knew he needed to change things in his approach after he lost the UFC’s light heavyweight title to Glover Teixeira last year. The joy was gone from the game for Blachowicz and he knew that at 39 years old, he’d have to find it quickly. Blachowicz on Saturday looked like the guy who had won five in a row and nine of 10 before losing his title at UFC 267 to Teixeira on Oct. 30. He stopped Aleksandar Rakic in the third, but it’s a win that will live with an… Source link

SAN FRANCISCO — It’s hard to say whether the Golden State Warriors were winning one for their coach, or providing a place of temporary solitude for their grieving teammate. They had a basketball game to win, an opportunity to go up 3-1 on an opponent they’d like to dispatch — so keeping whatever emotions were flying through this wild series, on this day, seemed to be at a premium opposed to a source of inspiration. Steve Kerr was diagnosed with COVID-19 moments before his pregame media… Source link

Al Horford turned back the clock and tied the Eastern Conference semifinals. The soon-to-be 36-year-old scored 16 of his playoff career-high 30 points in the fourth quarter to negate a monster night from two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo and beat the Milwaukee Bucks, 116-108. The series is tied 2-2 heading back to Boston for Game 5 on Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET (TNT). Horford made all six of his field-goal attempts in the final frame, and Boston followed its veteran leader. Trailing 76-65 with… Source link
