• PGA Championship: Schauffele gets another major scoring record, sets the early pace

  By DOUG FERGUSON
  LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Xander Schauffele is playing some of his best golf without a trophy to show for it. He at least put his name in the PGA Championship record book Thursday with a 9-under 62, and gave himself another entry to the record book for all majors.
  Schauffele seized on the rain-softened conditions at Valhalla with a bogey-free 62, the lowest round in PGA Championship history. On this day, it was only good for a three-shot lead over Tony Finau and Sahith Theega

• Dodgers’ offense stays quiet in loss to Rangers

  14-06-2024 06:55 via ocregister.com
  
  LOS ANGELES — Apparently after going on a scoring binge Tuesday, the Dodgers’ offense had to sleep it off.
  They scored a season-high 15 runs Tuesday night but managed just a solo home run by Andy Pages on Thursday and lost, 3-1, to the Texas Rangers, having totaled just three runs in the two games since their series-opening explosion.
  The highlight of Tuesday’s romp was a seven-run sixth inning that featured four home runs. In 20 innings since then, however, the Dodgers we

• Griffin Canning rebounds well, but rest of Angels fail to produce in blowout loss

  14-06-2024 06:18 via ocregister.com
  
  PHOENIX — Griffin Canning gave up a three-run homer on his 22nd pitch of the night.
  And, somehow, he ended up as the star of the game for the Angels.
  Canning followed his familiar script, struggling in the first inning and then pitching well, but the rest of the Angels could do nothing to help him in what became a 11-1 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday night.
  Compared with a lineup that was ineffective and a bullpen that turned a three-run deficit into a nine-run deficit, Cannin

  PINEHURST, N.C. — Rory McIlroy sent his 20-foot birdie putt on its way at the 18th hole Thursday and started walking toward the cup when the ball was still some 6 feet away from falling. It looked like the walk of a four-time major champion in control of his game on a Pinehurst No. 2 course that demanded every bit of that in the U.S. Open.
  Turns out that was about the only thing that didn’t go according to plan.

  PHOENIX — Angels general manager Perry Minasian said it’s to early to talk about the trade deadline, which means it’s definitely too early to talk about 2025.
  In reality, though, those two things are related.
  The Angels have several players who will be free agents at the end of the season – like relievers Carlos Estévez and Luis Garcia – and any of those could be traded. The more difficult decisions for Minasian will be what to do with players who are still u
