Russell Henley’s strong finish gives him a 62 and a 1-shot lead at Wyndham

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 18:06:27 GMT

GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — Russell Henley still thinks about a poor finish from two years ago at the Wyndham Championship. He had no complaints about his start Thursday, an 8-under 62 that gave him the lead in the final tournament before the PGA Tour’s postseason.Henley hit his approach to 6 feet for eagle on the par-5 15th on his way to a 30 on the back nine at rain-softened Sedgefield Country Club. He led by one over Adam Svensson and Byeong Hun An, who birdied his last two holes.Henley is at No. 34 in the FedEx Cup standings, while Svensson is No 37 and An No. 52. They are assured a place in the postseason, which is for the top 70. They could be getting a head start on the FedEx Cup playoffs.Adam Scott doesn’t have that luxury, and that made his opening 65 valuable. He is at No. 81 and needs a big finish to salvage his season. So does Justin Thomas at No. 78 — for the FedEx Cup and the Ryder Cup — and he could only manage a 70.Henley was helped by avoiding the light but ...

Prescott won’t feel disrespected by trash talk at Cowboys camp. The star QB says he often starts it

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 18:06:27 GMT

OXNARD, Calif. (AP) — Dak Prescott was asked his favorite moment so far of his eighth training camp with the Dallas Cowboys and referred back to the topic from the first several minutes of his meeting with reporters Thursday.“Probably the trash talking,” Prescott said. “Just being honest with you. I enjoy it. I really do. It gets the best of me. You got to be accountable from your words. I like to see other peoples’ reaction.”The issue came up a day earlier in practice when cornerback Trevon Diggs was caught on video delivering an expletive-laced message to his quarterback after Prescott ran toward a pylon in 11-on-11 drills. The question, of course, was whether Prescott would have scored on the play.Diggs, who last week signed a $97 million, five-year extension, was criticized by pundits for disrespecting his team leader. The reaction from the player tied for the NFL lead in interceptions through his first three seasons?“Stay out of our business,” said Diggs, who led the league wit...

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 18:06:27 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — New York Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo was placed on the injured list on Thursday with post-concussion syndrome, a move that comes more than two months after he sustained a neck injury during a pickoff play.Rizzo and Yankees manager Aaron Boone said they believed the ailment stems from Rizzo’s collision with Fernando Tatis Jr. of the San Diego Padres in a pickoff attempt on May 28 at Yankee Stadium. Rizzo passed MLB’s concussion testing, but has hit just .172 with one homer in 169 at-bats since the incident. After the game against the Padres, Rizzo was batting .304 with 11 homers in 204 at-bats.Boone said Rizzo recently told the Yankees’ training staff that he was feeling foggy. He then underwent neurological testing that revealed cognitive impairment.“Obviously, the struggles have been real documented, and in this game, you try to figure out what is going on whenever you’re struggling,” Rizzo said before the Yankees opened a four-game series against the ...

Jack Flaherty dominates in debut, Orioles record 15 hits in 6-1 series-clinching win over Blue Jays

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 18:06:27 GMT

Jack Flaherty, in Jordan Hicks’ estimation, is at his best in situations such as Thursday’s sixth inning.Flaherty cruised for much of his Orioles debut, starting against the Toronto Blue Jays two days after Baltimore acquired him from the St. Louis Cardinals for three prospects minutes before the MLB trade deadline. But the sixth inning saw his dazzling debut in peril, with Toronto plating a run and threatening for more with the bases loaded and one out.Manager Brandon Hyde showed trust in his newest starter and Flaherty rewarded it, retiring the next two Blue Jays to propel the Orioles to a 6-1 series-clinching victory.“They definitely got one of the most fierce competitors I’ve met,” said Hicks, a Toronto reliever who St. Louis also traded away this week. “He’s always gonna go out there every time and leave it all out there.”Flaherty allowed one run over six innings while striking out eight, becoming only the third Orioles pitcher to...

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 18:06:27 GMT

A day after the the Massachusetts ballot initiative deadline, education advocates are settling in for a long, heated campaign over the petition to remove the MCAS test as a graduation requirement.“We’re looking forward to a very exciting campaign and the support that people see from the parents in the community and our coalitions and alliances,” said Massachusetts Teachers Association Vice President Deb McCarthy.The MTA and a separate group of parents and residents each filed a ballot initiative petition to remove the longstanding MCAS test as a high school graduation requirement in the state ahead of the Aug 2 deadline.The filings must now pass a review by the Attorney General’s office and then gain nearly 75,000 signatures by around mid-November to be put on a statewide ballot.The MTA noted their Board must still vote at an Aug. 6 whether to launch a campaign to collect signatures and pass the initiative.“This isn’t getting rid of the MCAS,̶...
