Nov 30, 2024, 02:25 AM ETLucas Herbert has held his chasers at bay to retain the Australian Open lead after a wet and wild third round at Kingston Heath.But the Victorian fan favourite has company at the top after relinquishing a four-shot halfway advantage with a grinding even-par 72 in miserable Melbourne on Saturday.Little-known and lowly-ranked American Ryggs Johnston joined Herbert at 14 under with a birdie-filled round of 68 as 13 players ended the day within five shots of the lead.Johnston blazed through the front nine in 31 shots, catching Herbert even before the turn with his fourth consecutive…
After Golden State’s most recent loss against Oklahoma City, Stephen Curry took the mic to promise that both he and his teammates “will perform better,” as his squad wasn’t very inspiring after they accumulated their third-consecutive defeat of the season this week. Another one of the team’s leader, Draymond Green, also felt the urge to do the same and address the media after losing to the Thunder. The problem somehow seems to be that the Warriors don’t play the same when Curry is not on the floor, as players like Moses Moody and Lindy Waters III were easily shut down…
Anthony Hernandez expects to get the best of Brendan Allen again in their rematch. Hernandez (13-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC) and Allen (24-6 MMA, 12-3 UFC) run things back at a UFC Fight Night event on Feb. 22. In their first fight, which took place in January 2018, Hernandez defeated Allen by unanimous decision to claim the vacant LFA middleweight title. Currently riding a six-fight winning streak – including a Performance of the Night TKO of Michel Pereira, Hernandez sees a fight against Allen as the correct next step, and he hopes it ends up being another five-round fight. “It made sense,”…

But hopefully the American Thanksgiving holiday has not saturated too much of our appetite as the Psych sheets have dropped, and after the fast swimming at the collegiate invites, I’m ready for round 2 of some fast short course yards swimming, 2024 U.S. Open Psych Sheets (Pre-Scratch) With a small but…
In an era of UCI promotion/relegation cycles and teams creating calendars around points scoring, EF Education-EasyPost CEO Jonathan Vaughters wants to keep his team from falling into the “anticlimactic and boring” way of racing he believes it breeds.Vaughters’ EF Education programme have built up a reputation of racing aggressively, chasing stage wins and often targeting jerseys outside of the leaders at big races. In going all out for such, they have sometimes missed on potential top 10 finishes on GC or a chance to score more UCI points. While, of course, remaining in cycling’s top division – the UCI WorldTour –…
Fall Report Patrick Ebert – November 29, 2024 Rutgers got off to a good start to open the 2024 season, carrying a 18-7 overall record, fresh off a series win at home against UConn, as it entered conference play. There was continued reason for optimism in mid-April following another big series win at home against Nebraska, but after a few key injuries the wheels seemed to fall off as the Scarlet Knights went 2-13 against their final five Big Ten opponents (Iowa, Indiana, Maryland, Penn State and Ohio State) to finish 6-18 in conference play causing them to miss the…

After the finest season of his career, Jannik Sinner has surged to an almost divine status enjoyed by only a handful of transcendent Italian sporting champions: Skier Alberto Tomba, motorcyclist Valentino Rossi and footballer Roberto Baggio.Sinner is aged just 23. But as the only player from the nation to ever be ranked as the world’s best tennis player, he has already joined the pantheon.The frenzied focus on the boy from San Candido as he arrived at the ATP Finals in Turin – camera-flashing photographers and screaming autograph-hunters being kept at arm’s length by burly security men – demonstrated he is…

Europe’s Ryder Cup players have revealed how becoming “vulnerable” with each other during a “fireside chat” helped spark their triumph in Rome. Captain Luke Donald took his entire side to Marco Simone Golf Club for a practice session in September 2023, a day before all 12 players travelled to Wentworth ahead of competing in the BMW PGA Championship. The move paid off handsomely with Europe regaining the Ryder Cup in emphatic fashion and a behind-the-scenes story of that triumph is set to be revealed in a new documentary being launched on December 3. FIRESIDE CHAT “We had a great fireside…
