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. While we still have almost an entire summer to get through before our Saturdays return to being filled with college football, BetMGM has already posted its season win totals and conference odds for the upcoming season. Right off the bat, you’ll notice that the highest projected win total for any team this season is just 10.5 wins. This is in stark contrast to last season, when Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson… Source link

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

Charles Oliveira made quick work of Justin Gaethje Saturday at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Arizona, winning by submission at 3:22 of the first round. The former lightweight champion, who was stripped of his belt after missing championship weight Friday by a half pound, becomes the division’s No. 1 contender and will compete for the vacant title in his next fight. In the co-main event, Carla Esparza did just enough versus Rose Namajunas to win via split decision and regain the strawweight… Source link

SAN FRANCISCO — Draymond Green is enjoying Golden State’s return to NBA prominence after a two-year sabbatical, believing the break helped his mind and body recover and realign his hunger. After five straight NBA Finals and three titles, the Warriors had an injury-riddled 2019-20 season and were eliminated in the play-in tournament last season by the same Memphis Grizzlies they’re facing now. Green called the last two years “miserable” but felt they were valuable — he was able to… Source link

BOSTON — The Milwaukee Bucks did to the Celtics what Boston did to the Brooklyn Nets, bullying them. Rarely did the Celtics see open shots in their 101-89 loss in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. When they did, the Bucks dared a role player to beat them. Boston will need more fight from their stars than they showed in front of their home crowd on Sunday to unseat the defending champions, because 32% shooting and 33 points combined on 31 shots from Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown… Source link
