PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Scottie Scheffler won early, holing a chip from deep rough for eagle on the par-5 second hole at The Players Championship to win a bet against his caddie on the number of times the Masters champion chips in during the season.The bigger payoff was the way Scheffler navigated 26 holes on Saturday — eight in the morning to finish the rain-delayed second round, 18 in the afternoon when the TPC Sawgrass was as soft and vulnerable as it gets — for a 7-under 65 to build a two-shot lead over Min Woo Lee of Australia.Still to come: A chance for Scheffler to capture another big prize against a strong field, return to No. 1 in the world and cash a $4.5 million winner’s check.“I would much rather win the tournament than get back to No. 1 in the world,” Scheffler said. “So that will be my focus going into tomorrow, just going out and having a solid round of golf.”Scheffler capped his long day with what amounted to a two-shot swing.Lee, the younger brother of ...

The Royals were part of the NWSL for three seasons from 2018 to 2020.“When we acquired Real Salt Lake last year, we said it was a matter of when, not if, the NWSL would return to Utah.

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:27:57 GMT

Over the last decade, Sean Ryan has attempted to establish a winning culture at Burke. In spite of the ever-changing landscape also known as the MIAA’s league ranks, the Bulldogs have always managed to find ways to stay competitive with their peers, regardless of which division they have been placed in.You can add another chapter to the program’s impressive legacy. Sophomore sensation Jaeden Roberts registered a game-high 24 points Saturday night, as second-seeded Burke clinched a trip to the Div. 4 boys basketball semifinals by unseating last year’s state champion with a convincing 68-50 rout of No. 7 Randolph.“Every team is different,” said Ryan. “Every team’s different offensively and defensively. They really bought into defense. As a coach, when a team does that, it’s really special. New guys, new faces, but they totally came together, especially during the mid-part of the year. I’m super happy for them.”Burke’s Josh Jean Charles, left, looks to shoot over Randolph’s...
