Jason Day WDs from Truist Championship
May 6 - World No. 32 Jason Day has withdrawn from this week's Truist Championship for an undisclosed reason, the PGA Tour announced Tuesday.
The former major champion was replaced in the field in Philadelphia by Patrick Rodgers.
Day, 37, was forced to withdraw from The Players Championship in March due to an illness. The Australian has since tied for eighth at the Masters along with a T27 at the Texas Children's Houston Open and a T49 at the RBC Heritage.
The Truist Championship is the sixth of eight signature events on the 2025 calendar, featuring a $20 million purse. However, the tournament will also be without World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who is skipping the event to focus on next week's PGA Championship.

Sponsors drop Aussie Olympian Heath Ryan after horse whipping video goes viral - 'shocked and heartbroken'
Aussie Olympian Heath Ryan has been dropped by two major sponsors after shocking footage emerged of the equestrian star whipping a horse 42 times. Prydes EasiFeed and Bates Saddles - both long time supporters of Ryan - announced separately on Friday they have severed ties with Ryan. In a statement, Bates Saddles said they were 'shocked and heartbroken' by the damning vision. Newcastle based Ryan, 66, has also been suspended indefinitely from competition by Equestrian Australia. The governing body confirmed they received a formal complaint from a member of the public - and have since launched an investigation into the matter. As a result, Ryan is provisionally suspended from the sport. The suspension was mirrored by the international governing body, Fédération Équestre Internationale (FEI). According to News Corp, Equestrian Australia said in a statement they were 'extremely alarmed and concerned by the treatment of the horse shown in the footage.' The RSPCA are said to be 'making further enquiries' and the Australian Olympic Committee are aware of the video - but it remains unknown if they will take further action. Earlier this week, Ryan insisted he was on a 'rescue mission' after horrific footage emerged of the international equestrian star whipping a horse more than 40 times at a private stable. Ryan, who competed at the 2008 Games in Beijing in the dressage team event, issued a statement online after the confronting vision appeared on social media via US-based Facebook page Dressage Hub. He conceded the footage is 'awful' - but maintained he was doing his utmost to ensure the horse wasn't sent to the slaughter house. Ryan also claimed the vision was posted 'by an unhappy ex-employee.' 'Oh my goodness! The most awful video of me on a young horse has just surfaced,' his lengthy Facebook post began. 'This horse was dropped off at my place on his way to the knackery. His name is Nico. He was 6 years of age. A beautiful type. '(After the repeated whipping) I rode Nico for another couple of days and he responded very well. 'All of this transpired sincerely with the horse's best interests the sole consideration. 'I (also) need to add that this happened about two years the video has been posted by an unhappy ex-employee. 'All I can say is that this awful video was collateral damage of me from the bottom of my heart launching a rescue mission.' Ryan has competed in equestrian events in Australia for decades, with his crowning achievement an appearance at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Heath Ryan's lengthy statement after the confronting vision appeared on social media via Facebook page Dressage Hub He is also the brother of triple Olympic equestrian gold medallist Matt Ryan, who was part of the eventing team who famously stormed to victory at the Sydney Games in 2000. The incident follows British golden girl Charlotte Dujardin sensationally quitting just days before the 2024 Paris Olympics after a video emerged of her allegedly whipping a horse on the legs repeatedly. Last December, Dujardin was suspended from the sport for 12 months by the International Federation for Equestrian Sports (FEI), as the six-time Olympic medallist conceded she made an 'an error of judgement' during a coaching session. Dujardin had returned to competition leading into Paris after giving birth to her first child Isabella in March of 2023.

Security fears amplified after axed Queensland Origin star Daly Cherry-Evans is grabbed by a fan after night to forget on the Gold Coast
The NRL is expected to beef up security following a concerning incident involving Manly skipper Daly Cherry-Evans on the Gold Coast. A supporter - dressed in Sea Eagles gear - managed to make his way onto Cbus Super Stadium post game on Friday night where he grabbed the recently axed Queensland Origin halfback. Cherry-Evans was visibly stunned before security tackled the man and removed him from the venue. It followed a night to forget for the veteran halfback, who was poor against the Titans. Plenty of footy fans anticipated Cherry-Evans would have a point to prove after the Maroons skipper was overlooked for game two in Perth, but he was outplayed by his opposite Jayden Campbell. Former Manly star Kieran Foran turned back the clock with a vintage performance for the hosts - and their coach Des Hasler would have been delighted to get a win against the club who sacked him in 2022. Post game, Cherry-Evans was pressed on reports from Sam Walker's manager the Roosters have gone cold on signing him for 2026 and beyond due to his alarming dip in form. 'I don't sort of understand that stuff,' Cherry-Evans said. 'Sort of stay out of it. All I can do is control my footy at will be speculation.' Sea Eagles coach Anthony Siebold conceded his team were off the pace. 'We missed far too many tackles which is an attitude thing,' he said. 'We started well in the first 10 minutes and after that we were outplayed and couldn't get back into the contest. 'It comes back to attitude and being consistent individually and collectively.' Compounding the poor performance was backrower Haumole Olakau'atu suffering a dislocated shoulder when attempting to score a second half try. He is tipped to face a lengthy stint on the sidelines. Questions also need to asked about the fitness of fullback Tom Trbojevic, who was well below his best on the Glitter Strip. Rumours continue to swirl 'Turbo' is battling another serious hamstring injury, but the club have been coy about his fitness.

Ranger Suarez, Phillies cruise in shutout of Blue Jays
June 14 - Ranger Suarez scattered four singles over seven innings and Kyle Schwarber hit a three-run homer to lead the Philadelphia Phillies to a 8-0 victory over the visiting Toronto Blue Jays in the opener of a three-game series on Friday night. Suarez (5-1) walked one and struck out six while matching his longest outing of the season. It was the seventh consecutive quality start for Suarez, who has allowed just six earned runs over 46 2/3 innings in his last seven starts for an ERA of 1.16. J.T. Realmuto went 2-for-3 with a double, three runs and an RBI and Otto Kemp had a double, two hits and an RBI for Philadelphia, which won for the third time in four games. Toronto starter Kevin Gausman (5-5) suffered the loss, allowing four runs on four hits over five innings. He walked four and struck out seven while throwing 95 pitches, just 56 for strikes. Alejandro Kirk had two hits for the Blue Jays, who had a three-game win streak snapped. Philadelphia took a 4-0 lead in the second. Realmuto led off with a walk, advanced to third on a double by Kemp and scored on a double off the bottom of the wall in right-center by Brandon Marsh. Kemp also tried to score on the play but was thrown out at the plate on a relay from center fielder Myles Straw to second baseman Andres Gimenez to Kirk. Trea Turner followed with a walk, setting the stage for Schwarber's 22nd home run, a 410-foot three-run blast to dead center. The Phillies extended the lead to 5-0 in the sixth on consecutive singles by Realmuto, Bryson Stott and Kemp, who picked up the first RBI of his major league career, then broke the game open with three more runs in the eighth highlighted by an RBI double by Realmuto, a sacrifice fly by Marsh and an RBI single by Trea Turner. --Field Level Media
