DeChambeau, who had topped the leaderboard along with Brooks Koepka at the end of day one, started solidly on Friday and held sole possession of first place after playing his first eight holes in one under. However, he then bogeyed the ninth, double-bogeyed the 10th and dropped a further shot at the short 12th. As DeChambeau slipped back to 3 under, Molinari continued to move his score in the right direction, following up a 3-under front nine with further birdies at the 12th and 15th....

Woods, ranked 12th in the world, last slipped on a green jacket 14 years ago and has been trying unsuccessfully to win a 15th major since 2008, his last. He’s played in five PGA events this season, failing to finish better than a tie for 10th (WGC-Mexico Championship). Woods’ 2018 Masters, his first time in the field after two years off, was a mixed bag (t-32), so there’s plenty of room for improvement....

Couple of weeks back, a Mumbai-based bookie, in his statement to the Mumbai Police, allegedly claimed that four players from Sunrisers Hyderabad, including Thisara Perera, were involved in match-fixing during the 6th edition of the IPL. SLC rubbished the allegations stating that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had given a clean chit to their player and added that there were no evidences against the 24-year-old big-hitting allrounder’s involvement in match-fixing....

Following the midterm elections last month, Republicans picked up enough seats to narrowly win control of the House, despite underwhelming results in several key races. The GOP is set to enter the new Congress with control of 222 seats, setting up a contentious House speaker race. McCarthy, the California Republican who currently serves as the House minority leader, must win support from right-wing social conservatives as well as more moderate Republicans representing districts won by President Joe Biden to win enough support to be named speaker....

The result of Harvey’s decision was predictable. The New York Daily News’ back page was “SILENT KNIGHT: Brutal Harvey won’t answer for National disaster as Mets ponder ex-ace’s future” while the Post went with “Knight of the Living Dead: Gutless Harvey plays hide & reek after latest dismal outing dooms Mets.” Brutal, gutless, reek, dismal… these are strong words, and Harvey had to know that they were coming when he chose to duck reporters....

The gnashing of teeth was from the NFL owners who surely were angry in hearing that Panthers owner David Tepper gave Rhule a seven-year deal for $70 million including incentives ($60 million reportedly guaranteed) as an unproven NFL head coach coming from the college ranks, a pathway that has rarely led to coaching success. Tepper also had to kick in a $6 million buyout to Baylor, according to league sources....

“MatterFall follows an unexpected hero fighting for survival on a ravished sci-fi world infected by a mysterious and deadly alien material known only as “Smart Matter”,” said Sony in a blog post.

But the 13-year NFL veteran caught heat during the Rams’ Super Bowl parade for not helping Kelly Smiley, a photographer who fell from a platform while trying to take a photo of Stafford and his wife, who is also named Kelly. Days after the incident, the quarterback finally spoke on the subject. Smiley fractured her spine during the fall. The Staffords have announced that they are not only paying for Smiley’s broken equipment but for her medical bills as well....

Mauer, pinch-hitting in the seventh inning, shook off the frustration and hit a go-ahead, three-run homer off reliever Louis Coleman, and the Minnesota Twins beat the Detroit Tigers 5-4 on Friday night. “That’s about as professional an at-bat as you’re going to see,” Minnesota starter Kyle Gibson said. “That’s Joe Mauer right there. He’s a guy that gets a tough pitcher’s pitch on 3-1, doesn’t panic and gets the pitch he needs to hit and just put one of the best swings you’ve ever seen....

Satellite imagery from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) GOES-West satellite shows the development of the volcano as it erupts and the plume of gas and ash it is emitting. An Air Mass RGB image can also be seen as the volcano burps out hot water vapor and other gases. Mauna Loa is between 700,000 and 1 million years old and is the largest active volcano in the world, with a summit 13,000 feet above sea level....

Last week New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd won the Pulitzer Prize for it. The award sanctified what many consider to be a heretical shattering of the hallowed granite of the Times op-ed page–Opinions From the Mount, each pinned neatly to an ideological matrix. Instead, she’s the dinner-party columnist, a must-read obsession for a generation of left-liberal boomers who haven’t felt inspired by anything besides their mutual funds since some long-ago Cuomo speech....

The Dallas Mavericks can finally say their puzzling losing streak against the Atlanta Hawks is over. Harrison Barnes scored 25 points, Doncic added 24 and the Mavericks extended their home winning streak to 11 games while ending a 10-game skid against Atlanta in a 114-107 victory over the Hawks on Wednesday night. J.J. Barea had 18 points before leaving with a sprained left ankle as the Mavericks finally beat the Hawks after blowing a 26-point lead in October, when Young had a strong fourth quarter in his home debut to help the Hawks rally to a 111-104 win....

Rookie of the Year favourite Doncic has not been a part of the NBA for long, but many already have compared the 19-year-old sensation to James. Doncic led the Mavericks to a 122-119 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday with 21 points, nine rebounds and 10 assists. He was just one rebound short of becoming the youngest player in NBA history to record a triple-double. It marked the third time in five games that Doncic posted a stat line achieved only by James among NBA teens....

The Japanese tennis star posted a picture of his new coach on his Instagram account to let his fans know of the new development. In case you didn’t know… The tennis world was really excited when Nishikori first burst onto the scene more than a decade ago.

The same has to be true for MLB umpires. Or, at least, it was true for Frank Pulli on May 31, 1999. That’s the day Pulli spontaneously pioneered the use of video replay to correct a call during a game between the Cardinals and Marlins in Miami. It was a highly unusual move for an MLB umpire at the time, nearly a decade before MLB officially allowed it. Naturally, Pulli’s decision caused a wee bit of controversy....

The latest achievement next to his name has been the scintillating double century against South Africa recently. He is one of the handful of Indian batsmen to have converted their maiden century into a double ton, exhibiting his talent in the Visakhapatnam Test to be one of India’s pillars in their 203-run win. The 200 is just another fruit of the hard work Mayank has put in at the domestic level; even two years ago, he was far away from a call-up to the Indian team....

The $10 billion telescope is the successor of the Hubble Space Telescope which is still active. The James Webb Space Telescope was developed in 1996, which was expected to be launched in the year 2007. It will launch from South America’s French Guiana on an Arianespace Ariane 5 rocket.
