TGL: The Bay doubles up Jupiter Links

Syndication: USA TODAYBay Club golfer Shane Lowry, right, looks over the shoulder of his teammate Wyndham Clark as he lines up a putt during the inaugural TGL match at SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida.

It might have been good for Tiger Woods that he didn’t have to be part of the TGL match Tuesday night.

While he took the night off from competing, his Jupiter Links GC team had no answer for The Bay Golf Club’s Min Woo Lee until it was too late.

The Bay built a big lead in triples on the way to a 6-3 victory in a match that was clinched after 13 holes in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.

“We want to do the best we can and we’re all perfectionists,” Lee said.

Even the late-night round didn’t deter Lee, who said, “I’m not used to a 9 p.m. tee time.”

The Bay (4-0), with Lee, Wyndham Clark and Shane Lowry, became the first team in TGL history with two eagles in the same round.

Woods, who’s one of the founders of the league, didn’t participate with his Jupiter Links team as he ponders the beginning of his PGA Tour schedule. His tour season debut had been pushed back following the death of his mother, Kultida Woods, on Feb. 4 at age 80.

Still, he was on site Tuesday.

Kevin Kisner, Tom Kim and Max Homa represented Jupiter Links (1-3-1).

The Bay already had qualified for the playoffs, so it was just playing for seeding.

Among the celebrities attending was former Golden State Warriors standout Andre Iguodala, a limited partner with The Bay. “I’m a huge golf fan,” Iguodala said.

Lee, dubbed Dr. Chip-inski, chipped in from just under 25 feet on the sixth hole to put The Bay up 2-1.

“My teammates are leaving me in the right spots, and I feel good about it,” Lee said.

Two holes later, Lee had a chance to win another hole with a chip, but the ball hit the hole and popped out.

Still, his first effort made him the first TGL player with two off-the-green hole-outs.

Oddly, Jupiter Links then tested Lee before his next approach shot, throwing a hammer to double the points on the hole. Following a timeout, Lee’s brilliant shot led to The Bay throwing a hammer, making the hole worth three points. Lowry delivered with the 6-foot eagle putt and encouraged the applause that followed.

That put The Bay up 5-1 going into singles matches.

Lee’s run of success ended in the opening singles match, with Kim taking the hole when The Bay declined the hammer.

“I thought it was kind of a waste of their hammer,” Clark said. “I don’t know if they used it too well.”

Five of the six hammers were used in triples.

After the match’s outcome was determined, Kisner defeated Lowry to give Jupiter Links a potentially valuable point that could help if a tiebreaker were to determine the league’s final playoff spot. Clark then won the last hole against Homa, who was competing for the first time since the opening match.

Manchester City look to extend win streak, take on Everton

Soccer: FIFA Club World Cup 2025-Round of 16-Al Hilal FC at Manchester City[Subscription Customers Only] Jun 30, 2025; Orlando, Florida, USA; Manchester City forward Erling Haaland (9) celebrates scoring their second goal with midfielder Rodri (16) during a round of 16 match of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup at Camping World Stadium.

Manchester City will try to keep pace with Premier League front-runner Arsenal on Monday night when they pay a visit to an Everton side still on the fringes of the European picture.

City (21-5-7, 70 points) will begin the day six points back of Arsenal with two matches in hand after the Gunners dispatched Fulham 3-0 on Saturday. The Cityzens won’t be even on games played until May 13, when they make up a postponed match against Crystal Palace that was delayed because of City’s triumphant League Cup run.

As a result, there continues to be the appearance of a chase, although the teams would finish level on points if they win out.

Manager Pep Guardiola insists it shouldn’t matter.

“It’s normal, so it’s the calendar,” Guardiola said on Friday. “Sometimes you play first. Sometimes behind. It is what it is. So, nothing changes in these stages, and you know exactly what you have to do.”

City have won six in a row in all competitions, the last three by a single goal: A 2-1 home league win over the Gunners on April 19, a 1-0 league victory at Burnley three days later, and a 2-1 FA Cup semifinal triumph over Southampton on April 25.

Erling Haaland scored once in both league fixtures to bring his EPL-leading total to 24. In the FA Cup semifinal, Jeremy Doku and Nico Gonzalez scored inside the final 10 minutes to complete a late rally.

Everton (13-13-8, 47 points) finished Saturday in 11th place, but only four points out of seventh, which currently would earn a berth in the UEFA Europa Conference League. Should City win the FA Cup, it could be the top eight English league finishers who earn a spot in Europe.

And if Everton could return to continental competition for the first time since 2017-18, it would conclude a much-improved first season at their new Hill Dickson Stadium, after bringing the curtain down on historic Goodison Park last May.

“We still believe there could be something out there for us. And we’ll keep pushing,” manager David Moyes said. “Building Everton back up is a process which I think is going to take quite a bit of time, but I think the first year or so here, we’ve certainly put decent foundations down. And hopefully we can continue to build on it.”

The Toffees are looking to avoid a third consecutive league defeat for the first time this season after a 2-1 home loss to derby rivals Liverpool on April 19 and a 2-1 away defeat at West Ham last weekend.

Beto, one of two Everton players with eight goals, departed the former contest late with a head injury and missed the latter fixture working through the league’s concussion protocol. He should be available Monday night, Moyes said.

Yankees tee off on Orioles to win third straight in 4-game series

Jasson Dominguez scored the tiebreaking run in the sixth inning before hitting a two-run homer and an RBI double during a seven-run eighth as the New York Yankees pulled away for an 11-3 victory over the visiting Baltimore Orioles on Sunday afternoon.

The Yankees won for the 13th time in 15 games and beat the Orioles for the 11th time in the past 12 meetings.

Aaron Judge hit a two-run homer off Baltimore rookie Trey Gibson. Ben Rice hit his 12th home run of the season in the first and doubled ahead of Judge’s 13th homer in the third.

Rice exited after the Yankees batted in the third because of a bruised left hand. The Yankees announced X-rays were negative and the first baseman is day-to-day. Rice appeared to get injured fielding a low pickoff throw from Max Fried and was replaced by Paul Goldschmidt.

Dominguez started the tiebreaking rally with a double to left field against Grant Wolfram (1-1) and advanced to third on a groundout by Austin Wells. Ryan McMahon, facing a drawn-in infield, followed with a single that first baseman Coby Mayo couldn’t handle after diving to stop it.

Dominguez started New York’s big inning with a two-run drive into the right field seats off Andrew Kittredge for a 6-3 lead. After an RBI sacrifice fly by Trent Grisham, Goldschmidt ripped a two-run single after the Yankees executed a double steal.

Following a sacrifice fly by Jazz Chisholm Jr., Dominguez added a double to left field for an 11-3 lead.

The Orioles tied it twice before losing their fourth straight and for the 12th time in 18 games.

Blaze Alexander had an RBI single in the third before getting thrown out trying to stretch the hit into a double. After Judge’s 413-foot drive bounced into Baltimore’s bullpen in left field, Leody Taveras hit an RBI infield single and Tyler O’Neill scored on a double play grounder by Jeremiah Jackson in the fourth.

Fried allowed three runs on six hits in 5 1/3 innings. The left-hander struck out six and walked three.

Fernando Cruz (3-0) got the final two outs of the sixth and the first out of the seventh. Brent Headrick ended the eighth by getting a double play grounder against Mayo.

Gibson allowed three runs on four hits in 4 2/3 innings during his major league debut.

The four-game series concludes Monday.

Cam Smith had three hits, including a two-run single in the top of the 10th inning, to help the visiting Houston Astros earn a 3-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Sunday.

Smith’s two-out single came against Zack Kelly (0-2) and drove in Braden Shewmake and Jose Altuve.

Boston had the bases loaded with one out in the bottom of the 10th, but Bryan Abreu got Ceddanne Rafaela to ground into a double play to end the game.

Jarren Duran hit a solo home run for the Red Sox, who stranded 13 runners and were 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position. Duran’s home run was his third of the season and his second of the series. He hit a three-run homer in Boston’s 3-1 victory Friday night.

Abreu (1-2) pitched two scoreless innings to get the win. He gave up one hit, walked one and struck out one.

Willson Contreras collected three of Boston’s nine hits in the loss.

Christian Walker and Christian Vazquez each had two-hit games for the Astros, who won two games in the three-game set.

Boston starting pitcher Ranger Suarez was pulled after four scoreless innings because of hamstring tightness. He gave up three hits, walked one and struck out three. Suarez threw 70 pitches.

Duran’s home run off Houston reliever AJ Blubaugh opened the scoring in the fifth. Houston tied the game in the sixth, when Walker reached on an infield single, took third on Altuve’s double and scored on a sacrifice fly by Brice Matthews.

The Red Sox had a chance to win the game in the bottom of the ninth. An error on Abreu allowed Contreras to reach second with two outs in the inning, but Roman Anthony grounded out to first to end the inning.

Houston had the bases loaded with no outs in the 10th, but Altuve grounded into a 6-2-5 double play. Following a walk to Matthews, Smith delivered his two-run single.
