Spieth faltered late at last year’s PGA Tour event. James Hahn won in a three-way playoff. MORE: Leaderboard | Tournament preview | Season’s Tour winners Now a two-time major winner, Spieth approached the 18th hole needing a birdie to force his way into a playoff, but he missed the putt. Paul Casey and Dustin Johnson went head-to-head with Hahn. Fast forward 12 months and Spieth is desperate to make amends in a field featuring rival Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Bubba Watson and Jimmy Walker....

While speaking Tuesday on “The Rich Eisen Show,” the Dolphins quarterback revealed he hasn’t heard from Cardinals general manager Steve Keim since before Arizona selected Kyler Murray with the first overall pick in last month’s draft. Even after Rosen’s trade to Miami, Keim has kept quiet. “The only thing that really did kind of frustrate me through this whole process was like I still haven’t heard from my old GM,” Rosen said, via NFL Media....

Both fighters have tremendous pedigree, but Joshua is a -950 favorite over Povetkin, who is a +750 underdog on 5Dimes. He’s just 28, while Povetkin is 39, and coming off a tougher-than- expected David Price bout, in which he climbed off the canvas to score the stoppage.

Fields left the game after taking a hard hit and was ruled out a short time later. Fox Sports reported that Fields will undergo more tests to determine the severity of his rib injury, along with checking for any spleen injuries. Following the game, an Instagram post showed Fields saying that he only had bruised ribs, no broken ribs. Head coach Matt Nagy said in his post game press conference that he didn’t know the extent of Fields’ injury at the time....

At one point, the Ohio State product was a lock for QB2 behind Trevor Lawrence in the 2021 NFL Draft. Now, Fields’ standing as a top-10 passer is, seemingly, anything but certain. Fields has gone through the wringer during this pre-draft cycle: His work ethic has been unfairly questioned, his mechanics have been picked apart and his gameday processing “issues” have been way, way overstated. While NFL Draft experts can’t come to a consensus on where Fields is going to land, there seems to be a popular spot — inside of the first 10 picks — where the passer seems to be a great fit....

Veteran goalkeeper Buffon - fourth in the Ballon d’Or vote on Thursday - missed the Champions League clash with Olympiacos on Tuesday due to a calf issue and is unlikely to be available when Juve take on the Serie A leaders. Wojciech Szczesny filled in for the 39-year-old in Piraeus and looks set to retain his place for the clash at Allianz Stadium. “I need to make a final decision on my team and formation for the match....

According to Chancellor, the most intimidating player from the broken-up Legion of Boom, recent scans show the neck injury he suffered in November against the Cardinals has not healed. The news confirmed what Seahawks coach Pete Carroll has been saying all offseason about the likelihood of his four-time Pro Bowl safety’s career being over. A common presumption is that a strong, powerful player like Chancellor is indestructible. At 6-3, 232 pounds, he was a defensive back who kept receivers, tight ends and running backs wary of running routes in his vicinity — more so than any other in recent years....

The Clippers star made a cameo in the music video for “Way 2 Sexy,” which was released on Friday and features rappers Future and Young Thug. Leonard helped the trio recreate the visuals from Boyz II Men’s “Water Runs Dry” video, complete with all-white outfits and choreographed dancing. (If there are any Clippers fans concerned about Leonard jamming too hard after offseason knee surgery, don’t worry. The movements were pretty limited....

The forward who has failed to register his name on the scoresheet in his previous six appearances got the curtain raiser in the 21st minute of the encounter after being fed by Thomas Lemar. Skipper Radamel Falcao converted from the penalty spot to seal the victory for Leonardo Jardim’s men. Balde lasted the entire duration of the match and was cautioned in the 63rd minute. The 22-year-old teamed up with the French outfit from Lazio in the summer and has been involved in four league games so far....

Ron Kraemer, the owner of Doggy Style Kennels, which raises, trains and breeds Labrador retrievers, was out buying dog food when the facility located behind his house caught fire. The blaze killed all dogs present, except for one who had just given birth to six puppies. In an April 23 post on Facebook, the owner wrote: “I came home from town today with a load of dog food to find my kennels in flames....

There won’t be any seniors in the rotation like Darius Miller. There only would be two juniors, big men Wenyen Gabriel and Sacha Killeya-Jones. There would, however, be more of what matters to a basketball team returning to Kentucky than at any point since Calipari arrived in 2009. There seems little doubt projected first-round picks Kevin Knox and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will leave for the NBA Draft and join their many predecessors as one-and-done Wildcats....

The Jackson State senior guard, who had previously served as the team manager, took the floor for the first time in his career Monday night against Arkansas-Pine Bluff. His first few shot attempts failed to find the bottom of the net, but with less than a minute to go in regulation, Lee launched from way downtown and … splash.

Zero championships. One playoff series win. Two unhappy superstars. And the longest three years in Nets history. Both Durant and Irving want out, and the Nets’ uncertain future hands in the balance. Especially given the massive haul of future picks they paid to land James Harden only for that situation to implode, it’s an understatement to say the direction of the Nets’ franchise depends entirely on what kind of return they get if and when they trade KD and Kyrie....

Westbrook was reportedly “ticked off” at the time of Durant’s decision and said in February he wasn’t sure if the two could ever repair their relationship because “it’s not really up to me, honestly.” Durant has responded to some of Westbrook’s troll tactics over the past year with his own subtle moves. But perhaps all of the drama could be coming to an end. POSITION RANKINGS: PGs | SGs | SFs | PFs | Cs...

MORE: A little bit of advice for KD in free agency The 27-year-old has met with several teams since becoming a free agent, including the Thunder. Durant has called Oklahoma City home the past nine seasons, and he allowed the Thunder to get the last word on Sunday afternoon. He’s also met with the Heat, Spurs, Clippers and Celtics. Adding Durant to the Warriors would give the team the last three MVPs, teaming him with back-to-back MVP Stephen Curry as well as All-Stars Klay Thompson and Draymond Green....

MORE: Crazy stats from Cavs’ sweep | Who makes Team USA? The loss would have almost certainly spelled doom for the Thunder’s chances of winning the series, as they would have returned to San Antonio down 3-1. The Thunder also got a big lift from Russell Westbrook, whose 15 assists were more than the 12 the Spurs accumulated as a team. The Atlanta Hawks, meanwhile, were eliminated on Sunday as the Cleveland Cavaliers held on for a 100-99 victory to complete a series sweep....

How about we listen to Kevin Garnett answer some questions? The future Hall of Famer sat down Thursday afternoon and responded to all sorts of questions in a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) session. And yes, it was really KG, as he shot all of his answers on video instead of typing them out because it’s always fun to put Garnett in front of a camera and see what happens....
