Many in contention at Aronimink

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. (AP) — The first PGA Championship at Aronimink in 64 years brought a pair of newcomers to the top of the leaderboard Friday in Alex Smalley and Maverick McNealy, and left hope for just about everyone else on a course that hasn't let anyone get too far away. Smalley, in only his fifth major championship, overcame three straight bogeys after making the turn and closed with a birdie for a 1-under 69. McNealy, who has never been among the top 25 in any major through 36 holes, fell back with a pair of late bogeys in his round of 67. They were at 4-under 136, the ...

A wild weekend at the PGA

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. (AP) — Not many players imagined Aronimink Golf Club and its wild, wavy greens would be so tough on scoring at the PGA Championship. Even fewer would have predicted Alex Smalley and Maverick McNealy to be atop the leaderboard Friday. What to expect the rest of the weekend? Pretty much anything. “Anyone who makes the cut, they’ve got to feel they have a shot in the tournament,” said Rory McIlroy, who found himself only five shots behind with 29 players — including Scottie Scheffler and six other major champions — ahead of him. Two long days at ...

Cleveland lives with heartbreak

CLEVELAND (AP) — Sometimes it's OK to celebrate heartbreak, even if it still stings. In Cleveland, where a World Series title has remained elusive since 1948, finishing second is still reason enough to throw a party. Ten years after losing a drama-drenched World Series in seven games to the Chicago Cubs, who ended their 108-year title drought at Cleveland's expense, the Guardians are honoring their 2016 AL pennant-winning team this weekend while triggering memories mixed with joy and pain. Nearly all the members of Cleveland's '16 team — known as the Indians back then — and ...

Harden can still be a hero

This may as well have been called The James Harden Experience. In the span of 22 seconds during overtime of Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night, Harden did all this for the Cleveland Cavaliers — made a free throw, missed a free throw, blocked a shot, got a rebound and threw the ball away. None of it seemed to faze him, which is quintessential Harden. "He never wavered," Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson said. "He has a bad game, good game, you can't even tell. So, I think his mentality — he's seen so much, been through so many ...

Scheffler stands out on first day

NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pa. (AP) — The biggest logjam in 57 years after the opening round of a major championship still had one name that stood out above the rest: Scottie Scheffler handled everything Aronimink threw his way Thursday in the PGA Championship. Scheffler took advantage of two long birdie putts and one big break on the 17th hole for a 3-under 67 to share the lead with six other players — former PGA champion Martin Kaymer perhaps the biggest surprise — on a tough day in the Philadelphia suburbs. It was the 13th round in the majors that Scheffler has had at least a share of ...
