Rory McIlroy shares lead at Players despite drama on 7th hole

Despite hitting two tee shots into the water and being at the center of a controversial drop after the second one, four-time major champion Rory McIlroy opened the 50th Players Championship with a 7-under 65 to grab a share of the first-round lead Thursday. McIlroy, the 2019 Players Championship winner, was tied atop the leaderboard with Xander Schauffele and reigning U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark, who had much more uneventful opening rounds at TPC Sawgrass. McIlroy had just taken the lead at 8 under when he pulled his drive left on the par-4 seventh hole, his 16th of the round. McIlroy’s ball crossed a hazard, […]

Horner: ‘No tension’ with Verstappen but no one bigger than team

Christian Horner stated he would not stand in the way of Max Verstappen leaving Red Bull if he prefers to do so, but he remains confident the reigning champion will stay at the team beyond the end of this year. Despite winning the opening two rounds of the season, divisions and controversy within Red Bull have led to suggestions that Verstappen, who has a contract with Red Bull until 2028, could leave the team at the end of the year. A rift appeared within Red Bull last week after the team’s parent company, Red Bull GmbH, cleared Horner of allegations of inappropriate […]

Novak Djokovic, Coco Gauff advance in Indian Wells

Novak Djokovic made a winning return to the desert, defeating Aleksandar Vukic 6-2, 5-7, 6-3 on Saturday in his first match at the BNP Paribas Open in five years. The 24-time Grand Slam singles champion joined Rafael Nadal as the only players to win 400 matches in ATP Masters 1000 series events. The top-ranked Djokovic is a five-time champion at Indian Wells, tied with Roger Federer for most by a male, but hadn’t played in the event since 2019. “Five years is quite a long time for a professional tennis player, but at the same time playing here the last time in 2019 felt […]

Dodgers’ Yoshinobu Yamamoto impresses in Cactus League debut

Even Shohei Ohtani was intrigued by Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s exhibition debut Wednesday, making the 30-minute drive through Phoenix suburbs in a white convertible to show his support for a fellow Japanese star, even though he wasn’t playing in the game. Yamamoto put on quite a show. The 25-year-old struck out three batters over two scoreless innings versus the defending World Series champion Texas Rangers, giving a glimpse into why the Los Angeles Dodgers believe the right-hander can become a big league ace. “I was just trying to do my job, trying to stay calm and focus on what I have to do,” Yamamoto said through an […]

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 […]

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 […]

Francis Ngannou eyes Ferreira-Bader winner after boxing match

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.
