AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — The Latest from the first round of the Masters (all times local):7:30 p.m.Jon Rahm overcame a four-putt double bogey on the opening hole to finish at 7-under 65 and tied for the first round lead with Viktor Hovland and LIV golfer Brooks Koepka at the Masters.Cameron Young and Jason Day are two shots back after posting 67s. Defending champion Scottie Scheffler is three shots back after shooting 68.There was some question about whether Rahm, a three-time winner on the PGA Tour, would be able to regain his momentum after a rough March that included back-to-back rounds of 76 at the Arnold Palmer Invitation, withdrawing from the Players Championship because of a stomach illness and an early exit at the WGC-Dell Match Play event.But the world’s No. 3-ranked player appears back on his game after making an eagle and seven birdies.Five-time Masters champion Tiger Woods shot 74.___5:15 p.m. Brooks Koepka has fired the biggest shot for the upstart LIV tour on the open...

Column: Chicago White Sox are trying not to panic after a mind-numbing series against the San Francisco Giants

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:26:31 GMT

The Chicago White Sox were in town long enough to unpack, get a nice meal, serve up 13 home runs to the San Francisco Giants, give infielder Hanser Alberto two relief appearances and lose two games in embarrassing fashion in front of their fans.After the briefest of homestands, the Sox packed up after a 16-6 loss to the Giants and got on a plane to Pittsburgh to start a six-game trip.If the Sox were a dating app, they’d be a quick “swipe left.” And if first impressions are lasting, this team is deep trouble.We saw enough this homestand to discover manager Pedro Grifol has no problem sticking with struggling starters or sending the same position player out to the mound twice in three days to save his bullpen.We saw Andrew Vaughn and Tim Anderson chirping at Giants pitchers who had the audacity to retire them. We learned Anderson getting himself ejected early in Wednesday’s game was OK with Grifol because he was showing “passion,” and that starter L...

Tennessee’s House expels 2 of 3 Democrats over guns protest

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:26:31 GMT

By KIMBERLEE KRUESI and JONATHAN MATTISE (Associated Press)NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — In an extraordinary act of political retaliation, Tennessee Republicans on Thursday expelled two Democratic lawmakers from the state Legislature for their role in a protest that called for more gun control in the aftermath of a deadly school shooting in Nashville. A third Democrat was narrowly spared by a one-vote margin.The split votes drew accusations of racism, with lawmakers ousting Reps. Justin Jones and Justin Pearson, who are both Black, while Rep. Gloria Johnson, who is white, survived the vote on her expulsion. Banishment is a move the chamber has used only a handful times since the Civil War. Most state legislatures possess the power to expel members, but it is generally reserved as a punishment for lawmakers accused of serious misconduct, not used as a weapon against political opponents.Jones, Pearson and Johnson joined in protesting last week as hundreds of protesters packed the Capi...
