Fassert Almost Perfect as Wolves Clinch Title
CROSS RIVER, N.Y. - On Tuesday, May 14, a win versus Somers would give John Jay a share of the league title with Yorktown, so starting pitcher Nick Fassert put his team first. “I knew I had to come out here and perform for the boys,” said the senior.

Schauffele gets another major scoring record and sets the pace at PGA Championship
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Xander Schauffele saw no reason to change anything in his swing or think any less of his game after yet another close call at ending two years without winning. The idea was to “keep chugging along.” Thursday looked more like a sprint, right into the PGA Championship record book. Schauffele seized on soft, still conditions that hardly resembled a major championship test for a 9-under 62, the lowest score in PGA Championship history, and matched another PGA record by building a three-shot lead after the opening round at vulnerable Valhalla. Sixty-four players broke par, the most ever for a first round at the PGA Championship. The field of 156 players produced 542 birdies and seven eagles on the spongy turf and forgiving greens, with cheers coming from all corners of the course.

Ketcham in a 1-0 win over Fox Lane. Quite the show to close the regular season. ...

61-year-old says long course at PGA reminds him of when he was a kid hitting 3-wood into every green
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Tracy Phillips hit what he thought was a pretty good drive on the par-4 17th hole at Valhalla. It traveled 240 yards and didn’t make it to the start of the fairway. Such is life when you are 61 and playing in the PGA...

PGA Championship: Storms are forecast, so learn what water does to courses and golf equipment
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Overnight rains in the Bluegrass State had already softened Valhalla Golf Club before a late-morning storm dropped more water on the course and sent players, caddies and fans at the 2024 PGA Championship scurrying for shelter. The waves of rain are just the first taste of what forecasters predict is coming this week to the Louisville area, so if you are a fan of firm and fast courses, you won’t be happy. Recreational golfers hate playing in rainy, wet conditions because they typically don’t prepare for the weather, and they don’t understand the necessary adjustments they need to...
