Finally paired at a major, Koepka and DeChambeau play nice and play well at PGA

PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) — Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau insist they ended their beef long ago.They’ve hugged it out. They’ve made their money. They’ve moved on. They’re at different points in their careers now. Different parts of their lives.As if to prove it once and for all, Koepka and DeChambeau spent five soggy hours at Oak Hill on Saturday quietly and professionally going about their business, largely ignoring catcalls from a gallery half-heartedly attempting to re-ignite the duo’s petty if entertaining feud in which the vast majority of shots weren’t traded on the course but over social media.At the first tee, there were boos that felt more of the “New York being New York” variety than personal when two of the highest-profile players to bolt the PGA Tour for fledgling Saudi-backed LIV Golf were introduced.After nearly every shot there were shouts of “Brooksy,” a chant designed to unsettle DeChambeau that became so ubiquitous in 2021 that ...

CINCINNATI (AP) — The New York Yankees cut Aaron Hicks before Saturday’s game against the Cincinnati Reds and owe the struggling outfielder about $27.6 million from more than 2 1/2 seasons remaining in a $70 million, seven-year contract.Hicks was designated for assignment to make room for outfielder Greg Allen, acquired in a trade with Boston on Friday. The 33-year-old Hicks was batting .188 with a homer and five RBIs in 28 games this season. He agreed to a $70 million, seven-year contract with New York in February 2019 but injured his right elbow that Aug. 3, missed the rest of the regular season and for five postseason games, homering in Game 5 of the AL Championship Series against Houston’s Justin Verlander. Hicks had Tommy John surgery with Los Angeles Dodgers head team physician Dr. Neal ElAttrache that Oct. 30. He returned the following July for the pandemic-shortened season but was never the same player. Hicks hit .212 with 19 homers and 80 RBIs in 244 games after...

Koepka a tough customer on a tough day to lead PGA Championship

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:51:09 GMT

PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) — Brooks Koepka has his health back, along with his swagger. Now he gets another chance to restore his reputation as golf’s toughest customer in the toughest championships.Oak Hill was every bit of that on a rainy Saturday in the PGA Championship, and Koepka was up to the task. With three big birdies over the last seven holes, Koepka had a 4-under 66 — the low round at Oak Hill for the second straight day — to build a one-shot lead over Viktor Hovland and Corey Conners.“I like it when it’s difficult. Today was super difficult,” Koepka said. And then with the slightest grin he added, “I’ll take 4 under.”Now he has to finish it off, just like he did with such great poise when he won back-to-back in the U.S. Open (2017-18) and then back-to-back in the PGA Championship (2018-19), earning the rank of “Major Brooks.”This is his second straight 54-hole lead in a major. He was two ahead at the Masters until playing it safe in the final round and closin...

ALBANY, Oregon — Las víctimas de uno de los accidentes viales más mortíferos de Oregon eran trabajadores agrícolas que viajaban en una camioneta tipo van a una hora en que suelen volver a casa después de duras jornadas laborales en la cosecha, informaron las autoridades mexicanas y el sindicato de trabajadores agrícolas del estado.Las autoridades aún no han dado a conocer los nombres de las siete personas que murieron ni de las cuatro que resultaron heridas cuando un camión salió de la carretera Interestatal 5 el jueves y se estrelló contra la camioneta, que se hallaba estacionada al costado del camino cerca de Albany, en una zona agrícola de Willamette Valley.Pero el sindicato Pineros y Campesinos Unidos del Noroeste (PCUN), con sede en Woodburn, señaló en un comunicado el viernes por la noche que las 11 personas que viajaban en el vehículo eran trabajadores agrícolas y que ha estado en contacto con algunas de sus familias para apoyarlas.
