Koepka has been a winner in three of his last six starts in major championships and the big-hitting American once again excelled on Thursday, coming home in 31 for a 66. Yet he was denied sole possession of first place as DeChambeau also got to six under, birdieing each of his last four holes with some truly dazzling play. In a stunning end to his round, DeChambeau came agonizingly close to an ace at the 16th, having chipped in from off the green at the 17th and then struck the flag with his approach to the last, the ball stopping inches from the hole....

The Argentine sounded more like a salesman excited to get off the road for a few days than a soccer manager. It’s been a brutal stretch for Chivas involving travel to New York and back before going to Tijuana and straight on to frigid Toronto. The end is in sight. Almeyda has two tough matches to prepare for in the next seven days with Friday’s Clasico Tapatio against Atlas and next week’s second leg of the final, but if he draws up game plans like the ones he did in Tuesday’s 2-1 first-leg CCL final win over Toronto, he’ll be the most popular man in Guadalajara....

Trevor Davis, Geronimo Allison, Don Jackson, Jeff Janis and Aaron Ripkowski were all key contributors for the Packers, but it wasn’t enough in a 33-32 loss to the Atlanta Falcons at the Georgia Dome. While Green Bay’s group of unknowns turned in a valiant effort, it was an unheralded Atlanta receiver who made the game’s biggest play. MORE: Stats, highlights, info from Falcons’ W over Packers Mohamed Sanu’s 11-yard touchdown pass with 31 seconds remaining capped a nine-catch, 84-yard day and lifted the Falcons to the one-point victory....

Money for Everyone: I’m not going to get on my high horse about companies that should—or shouldn’t have—received loans from the Small Business Administration’s Payroll Protection Program.
