Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 10:53:14 GMT

FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Padraig Harrington didn’t intend for the PGA Championship to be a tuneup for the senior version a week later.It could be turning out that way.Harrington shot 8-under 64 in the first competitive round at the new Texas headquarters of the PGA of America for an early two-shot lead at the Senior PGA Championship on Thursday.The 51-year-old Irishman finished 7 over at Oak Hill with an 8-over 43 on the front nine Saturday. Par instead on that wayward nine would have meant a top-20 finish, but Harrington didn’t see it that way.“I was at least a week short in preparation,” Harrington said. “I felt I was getting into it last week, but I wasn’t there. I need to do a better job when I’m away from tournaments. So, last week it definitely helped me get where I am today, no doubt about it.”Japan’s Katsumasa Miyamoto shot 66, and Alex Cejka, Charlie Wi and Richard Green were another two shots back among the early finishers at PGA Frisco’s Fields Ranch E...

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 10:53:14 GMT

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — One way or another, the Premier League will lose two teams with rich histories when the fight for survival reaches its conclusion on Sunday.Everton, Leicester and Leeds all face a nervous final day of the season when their places in English soccer’s top division will be at stake.Everton has spent 69 years in the top-flight and is hoping for another dramatic rescue act, having narrowly avoided relegation last season.Leicester was the architect of arguably the most unlikely title triumph — winning the Premier League as a 5000-1 underdog in 2016 — but has to hope Everton drops points at home against Bournemouth to stand any chance of climbing out of the relegation zone.Leeds, meanwhile, has only been back among England’s elite for the past three years, but has a storied past, with its team of the late 1960s and 70s winning multiple trophies during that era. At the turn of the century it was a Champions League semifinalist.Two of the three will joi...
