Tour rookie Jake Knapp wins Mexico Open despite driver woes

PGA Tour rookie Jake Knapp lost a four-shot lead in seven holes and then held it together with a remarkable short game Sunday, closing with an even-par 71 to earn the Mexico Open at Vidanta and earn a trip to the Masters. Knapp stated he still sends a text after each round to his grandfather, who died last year, and this message might require a lot of detail. He didn’t hit a fairway until the eighth hole and found only two the entire round — the fewest in the final round of a PGA Tour win in the past 40 years, according […]

Haaland warning after 5-goal haul: ‘We’re ready to attack’

Erling Haaland sent a warning to Manchester City’s rivals after scoring five goals in their 6-2 FA Cup rout of Luton Town on Tuesday, saying he was back to his best and that “we’re ready to attack.” Haaland had scored only three goals in seven appearances since making his comeback from a foot injury that ruled him out for more than a month between December and January. But the Norwegian striker looked back to his prolific peak at Kenilworth Road with a first-half hat trick and two more after the break as City cruised into the FA Cup quarterfinals. In doing so, Haaland became the first […]

Hamilton: Childhood Ferrari dream stems from Schumacher

Lewis Hamilton has stated his desire to drive for Ferrari dates back to his childhood, when he used to play Formula One video games as Michael Schumacher. Hamilton shocked the F1 world at the start of this month when it was revealed that he would leave his Mercedes contract a year early to drive for Ferrari in 2025. Ferrari has not won a drivers’ championship since Kimi Raikkonen defeated Hamilton to the title in 2007, and its last period of sustained success was with Schumacher between 2000 and 2004. In an Instagram post earlier this month, Hamilton said it was a “childhood dream” to […]

Doc Rivers gets earful from 76ers fans; Bucks get last word

Doc Rivers wasn’t sure what kind of reception he would receive in his return to Philadelphia, eight months after the 76ers dismissed him as coach. “Do they give coaches big receptions?” Rivers stated before his new team, the Milwaukee Bucks, defeated Philadelphia 119-98 on Sunday. When a reporter told Rivers he was different, he acknowledged the validity of the statement but noted he still hadn’t thought much about it. However, the crowd in Philadelphia came prepared, delivering a resounding chorus of boos when Rivers’ name was announced before tipoff. “I didn’t even hear it, to be honest,” Rivers said with a smile after […]

Andy Murray admits it could be ‘months’ before retirement

Andy Murray stated that he may only have a few months left of his career after defeating Denis Shapovalov in Dubai on Monday. Speaking after the victory, Murray, 36, said: “I probably don’t have too long left but I’ll do as best as I can these last few months. “I still love competing and still love the game but it gets harder and harder to compete the older you get, to keep your body fit and fresh.” Murray’s win over the Canadian was his second of the 2024 season after he endured a torrid start that saw him lose his first four […]

Brandon Royval spoils Moreno’s homecoming at UFC Mexico City

Brandon Royval was not the favorite Saturday night. Not in the betting odds, nor in the eyes of the fans in the building. Across the cage from him was Brandon Moreno, the first Mexican-born UFC champion who had yet to earn a UFC fight in his home country. With those cards stacked against him, Royval rose to the occasion, coming back from an early deficit to beat Moreno via split decision (48-47, 46-49, 48-47) in the flyweight main event of UFC Mexico City. The fight was very close, and when the scorecards were read, the sold-out crowd fell silent. Royval, though, had […]

Superb Arsenal rout Newcastle to keep pace with leaders

Rampant Arsenal stayed hot on the heels of the top two in the title battle with an emphatic 4-1 triumph over a struggling Newcastle United side in the Premier League on Saturday at a rocking Emirates Stadium. An own goal by Sven Botman and a simple Kai Havertz finish put the home side 2-0 up at the break following a siege on the Newcastle goal before Bukayo Saka and Jakub Kiwior struck in the second half to comfortably wrap up the points. Arsenal’s sixth successive Premier League victory this year took Mikel Arteta’s third-placed side to 58 points after 26 matches, two behind leaders Liverpool and a point adrift of Manchester City, who earlier won 1-0 at […]

Francis Ngannou is two weeks away from his second appearance in a professional boxing ring, but he’s already considering his eventual return to mixed martial arts. Ngannou (17-3) hinted Thursday on ESPN’s “SportsCenter” that he’d likely face the winner of Saturday’s heavyweight contest between 2023 PFL champion Renan Ferreira and Bellator MMA champion Ryan Bader. “I think the winner of this is the guy I’m going to fight in my MMA return,” Ngannou told ESPN. “It is my intention to return to the sport.
