Neal Shipley, making his TGL debut as a member of The Bay Golf Club, recorded the first hole-in-one in the brief two-year history of the new golf league.

Shipley, 25, aced the 110-yard par-3 fifth hole, the shortest hole played in league history. His wedge shot carried 112.8 yards to the back of the green and drew back into the hole, setting off a wild celebration with teammates Luke Clanton and Min Woo Lee. Clanton is also making his TGL debut.

“This is different than any hole-in-one I’ve had before,” Shipley told ESPN during the live broadcast. “This is amazing. So cool.”

Shipley just made his first cut as a full-time PGA Tour member, finishing in a tie for 68th place at the WM Phoenix Open.

The Ohio State product gained notoriety in 2024, making the cut as an amateur at both the Masters and U.S. Open.

The Bay Golf Club (0-2) is looking for its first win, taking on Los Angeles Golf Club (1-1) at SoFi Center in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla. The match is the lone competition on the slate for Week 7 of the TGL.

Coming off its first loss in nearly three months, No. 6 UConn stays on the road with a trip to Indianapolis, Ind. on Wednesday to take on Butler.

The Huskies (22-2, 12-1 Big East) lost their perfect conference record Friday night when they fell 81-72 to St. John’s at Madison Square Garden. The loss snapped an 18-game win streak.

The loss wasn’t for lack of accuracy in live-ball action as the Huskies shot 54.7% from the floor, which included 9 of 19 from 3-point range. However, they went just 5-for-12 at the free-throw line and piled up 15 turnovers — nine by point guard Silas Demary Jr.

Demary had committed just eight turnovers in UConn’s five previous games combined.

“To go on the road against that defense and shoot 54%…the turnovers killed us,” said Huskies coach Dan Hurley. “When you go minus-17 point-wise at the foul line and get out-rebounded, you’re not going to win on the road.”

Another potential piece of concern for UConn was the lack of production from the bench unit, which combined to score just six points as Hurley allotted his reserves just 29 minutes.

“I thought the bench was skittish,” Hurley added. “We got off to a pretty good start, went to the bench and it was an immediate 7-0 run (for St. John’s). If you’re a bench player and that happens, you get a little tight with that rotation.”

It’s hard to fault Hurley for sticking with a starting lineup that features everyone in double figures. Solo Ball and Tarris Reed Jr. lead the way with 14.0 points per game while Demary ranks fifth with an 11.2 average.

Butler (13-11, 4-9) has endured four consecutive losses, all by double figures, which includes Saturday’s 70-55 defeat at Marquette. The Bulldogs had not scored so few points since a 60-52 loss on Feb. 4, 2023, at Marquette.

They shot just 32.8% from the floor and 6-for-21 from beyond the arc. Finley Bizjack led with 23 points on 8-for-12 shooting, though he was the lone Bulldog in double figures.

Butler played without two starters as point guard Azavier Robinson missed his second straight game with a wrist injury. His absence forced Bizjack into the point guard role.

“It made a difference, no doubt,” coach Thad Matta said. “He handled (Marquette’s) pressure well at our place.”

“It’s hard to lose point guards and still take care of the ball like you want to in every possession,” Bizjack said. “If they want me to bring it up, I’ll bring it up. If they want me off the ball, I’ll be off the ball, whatever I need to do to hopefully help us get back on the right track.”

Bizjack averages a team-high 17.9 points while Michael Ajayi delivers 15.8 points and 11.6 boards per game. The latter figure ranks third nationally.

UConn has never lost to Butler. The Huskies’ run began with the 2011 NCAA championship game and improved to 12-0 with their 79-60 win on Dec. 16 in Hartford.

That game broke a stretch of four straight games in the series that were decided by single-digit margins, including an overtime battle UConn squeaked out last January at home.

The Las Vegas Raiders have hired Seattle Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak as their next head coach, making the previously reported decision official in a social media post Monday.

The Raiders posted a video of Kubiak exiting a plane in the Las Vegas area with his family, with the caption, “Leadership in place.”

Kubiak confirmed the move Sunday night on the Levi’s Stadium turf after his Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots 29-13 to win Super Bowl LX.

“You guys know I’m going to Las Vegas,” he told reporters there. “I’m fired up about it.”

It’s the second straight head coach the Raiders have hired from Seattle. A year ago, they tapped Pete Carroll, who was serving in a senior adviser role with the Seahawks following his head-coaching tenure from 2010-23. Carroll lasted one year in Las Vegas and was dismissed after the team went 3-14 and secured the No. 1 pick in the 2026 draft.

Kubiak also becomes the Raiders’ sixth head coach, counting interims, since 2021.

Jon Gruden stepped down in October 2021 when homophobic and racist emails he had written were leaked to the public. Following interim Rich Bisaccia were Josh McDaniels (2022-23), Antonio Pierce (2023-24) and Carroll.

Only Bisaccia coached a playoff game in that time. The Raiders have earned just two postseason appearances — and have not won a playoff game or a division title — since reaching Super Bowl XXXVII to close the 2002 season.

Kubiak, who turns 39 next week, is the son of Gary Kubiak, the former head coach of the Houston Texans (2006-13) and Denver Broncos (2015-16) who won Super Bowl 50 with the Peyton Manning-led Broncos.

Kubiak spent just one year on the job in Seattle and helped the Seahawks rank third in scoring offense and eighth in total offense despite quarterback Sam Darnold leading the NFL in giveaways.

Previously, Kubiak was the Minnesota Vikings’ offensive coordinator in 2021, the passing game coordinator for the Denver Broncos (2022) and San Francisco 49ers (2023) and the New Orleans Saints’ offensive coordinator in 2024.
