Oregon duo wins U.S. Women's Amateur Four-Ball, earns spots into U.S. Women's Am at Bandon
The kids are alright. For a fifth year in a row, a pair of teenagers has teamed up to win the 2025 U.S. Women's Amateur Four-Ball.
It's only the 10th year for this U.S. Golf Association event but a clear trend has emergerd with this latest win by Natalie Yen, 18, of West Linn, Oregon, and Asia Young, 16, of Bend, Oregon.
The duo won 5 and 3, the second-largest margin in this event's final, over Athena Singh and Keira Yun, both 17, on Wednesday at Oklahoma City Golf & Country Club in Nichols Hills, Oklahoma.
With this final matchup, either team winning would have meant another teenage duo claiming the crowd.
"I think overall, we trust each other to play our games, and we know we're trying our best,' said the Texas A&M-bound Yen. "At the end of the day, I think we both know that we're both able to score.'
After reaching the par-5 fifth in two shots and making birdie, the Oregon pair took a 3 up lead. They followed that with a 30-foot birdie putt on No. 6 to go 4 up.
Singh and Yun won the 14th hole, the only hole they would win in the final. The match ended on the par-3 15th after Young nearly made an ace, the ball almost going jar before rolling out to about 15 feet. Young then made the birdie to close it out.
The pair later posed for photos with the trophy as well as No. 15 hole flags to signify where they won the match.
In addition to being exempt for this event for the next 10 years provided the duo stays together, Yen and Young also have earned spots into the 2025 U.S. Women's Amateur, being played this year at Bandon Dunes in their homestate of Oregon, as well as the U.S. Girls Junior Amateur at Atlanta Athletic Club in Johns Creek, Georgia.
The USGA notes that Yen and Young are the 749th and 750th unique champions in the organization's history dating back to 1895.

Bayer Leverkusen make crucial transfer decision amid Jack Grealish interest

Bayer Leverkusen have rethought their stance on Manchester City's James McAtee as they hunt for a replacement for Liverpool-bound Florian Wirtz, as per a new report. Wirtz is nearing the completion of a sensational move to Anfield as negotiations progress to an advanced stage between Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen, who have received an improved £113 million offer for the 22-year-old after turning down an opening bid from Merseyside. Advertisement Liverpool are understood to have agreed personal terms with Wirtz that will see the Germany international sign a long-term contract with the Premier League champions, who won the league title in Arne Slot's debut campaign in England last term. Leverkusen are poised to cashing in on Wirtz and are actively searching for a suitable replacement for the attacking midfielder, with a long-standing interest in Manchester City star and England U-21 international James McAtee. McAtee's Manchester City future was put in further doubt as the 22-year-old has chosen to captain his National Team at the U-21 European Championship and turned down a chance to represent his boyhood club at the FIFA Club World Cup. Advertisement The Salford-born star struggled for regular game time last season and despite a much greater look into the first-team after March, there is little evidence to suggest McAtee will realise his true potential under Pep Guardiola. With 12 months remaining on his current deal at the Etihad Stadium, McAtee wants a permanent transfer to start fresh and progress his career and Manchester City will be looking for a market fee for another product of their academy. Bayer Leverkusen have held a long-standing interest in McAtee and it is understood that the German outfit have held direct talks with Manchester City over the attacking midfielder, who is very attracted by the prospect of moving to Germany for next season. However, Bild are reporting that Leverkusen have withdrawn their interest in McAtee and are focusing on alternative targets as they prepare for life without Florian Wirtz and look to spend the incoming transfer fee for their best player, as relayed by Get Football News Germany. Advertisement Manchester City's €20 million valuation has put off Leverkusen, who are exited the race to sign McAtee, who has also attracted interest from Eintracht Frankfurt and VfB Stuttgart. It is worth noting that City are likely to prefer to sell McAtee to a foreign club. Cole Palmer joined Chelsea for £40 million in 2023 and has turned himself into one of the best forwards in Europe after two outstanding seasons in west London. City have frequently sold academy and bit-part players to their direct Premier League rivals and it has come back to bite them. Jack Grealish has also recently been linked with a move to Bayer Leverkusen and incoming manager Erik ten Hag is believed to have conveyed his desire of signing the 29-year-old England international to replace Wirtz, with Manchester City set to demand £50 million for their record signing this summer.

Iowa baseball reveals 2026 Big Ten schedule

Iowa baseball reveals 2026 Big Ten schedule As Iowa baseball continues its long and winding offseason, the program announced its Big Ten schedule for the upcoming 2025-26 campaign, which includes some familiar foes and a few new opponents. Headlining next season's conference schedule are two consecutive road series to open up the slate of games, with the Hawkeyes traveling to State College, Penn., for a three-game series March 13-15 vs. Penn State and then visiting East Lansing, Mich., for another three-game set March 20-22, against Michigan State. Following the two road trips, Iowa returns to Duane Banks Field for two consecutive series, with the first being against 2025 College World Series-bound UCLA from March 27-29 and the second against Minnesota from April 3-5. For the Bruins, it will be the first time the storied program has traveled to Iowa City and the first three-game series between the two. Last season's Big Ten Tournament Semifinal between the Hawkeyes and Bruins was the first-ever meeting between both programs, with UCLA winning 9-3. After the Minnesota series, the Hawkeyes' Big Ten schedule alternates between home and away series for the remainder of the season. Iowa's remaining series on the road will be vs. USC (April 10-12), vs. Indiana (April 24-26), and Nebraska (May 8-10). Of note in those road series is the trip to Los Angeles, Calif., vs. USC, which will be the Hawkeyes' sixth-ever game against the Trojans (USC holds a 3-2 all-time series lead). Conversely, the remaining Hawkeyes' home series will be vs. Maryland (April 17-19), vs. Illinois (May 1-3), and vs. Purdue (May 14-16). While Iowa's conference strength of schedule is yet to be determined, seven of the ten opponents the Hawkeyes face next year made the 2025 Big Ten Tournament, and three qualified for the NCAA Tournament. With the full 2026 slate still in the works, including non-conference dates and opponents, the complete schedule will be released at a later date.
