Bryan Hoops in familiar spot after second-round 66 at Golfweek Senior National Championship
Bryan Hoops in familiar spot after second-round 66 at Golfweek Senior National Championship It took some second-round heroics, but Bryan Hoops is in position to extend his senior golf winning streak. The 56-year-old from Tempe, Arizona, entered the Golfweek Senior National Championship having won his last five senior starts, dating to April. Now Hoops, with a second-round 66 at Grandover Resort in Greensboro, North Carolina, is in position to extend that streak to six. Hoops began the tournament at Grandover with an uncharacteristic 3-over 75, but on Tuesday he redeemed himself with a 6-under 66 that not only shot him to the top of the leaderboard but gave him a five-shot lead entering the second round. Hoops, who plays out of Whisper Rock Golf Club in Scottsdale, Arizona, (often with professionals from the Korn Ferry, PGA or Champions Tours), had five birdies on the day. His only blemish was a bogey at No. 15. He added an eagle at the par-5 18th. Scores: Golfweek Senior National Championship At 3 under for 36 holes, Hoops now leads Kevin VandenBerg, the top-ranked player in the Golfweek National Senior Amateur Rankings, by five shots. VandenBerg, of Pulaski, New York, has had back-to-back rounds of 1-over 73 at Grandover. Hoops excels at many areas of the game, but perhaps picks up the biggest advantage with his distance. 'I do things that I feel are stretching my career,' he said in April after winning the Golfweek Senior Division National Championship. 'I don't know anybody that hits it farther than I do constantly. It's a big advantage.' First-round Senior division leader David Glabicki, of Cary, North Carolina, remains in the mix at 3 over after backing up his opening 72 with a 75. After Glabicki, the next-closest player is six shots back. Greg Goode of Salina, Kansas, and Randy King of Horseshoe Bay, Texas, lead the Super Senior division at 4 over after overtaking first-round leader Stevie Cannady. James Starnes, who was the Golfweek Super Senior Player of the Year in 2024, is at 9 over, one shot behind Cannady. Bob MacWhinnie of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is 2 over and has a 1-shot lead on Stephen Fox of Pinehurst, North Carolina, in the Legends division. In the Super Legends division, Pete Allen of Southport, North Carolina, has created a comfortable lead for himself. Rounds of 73-74 left him at 3 over for the tournament, which is seven shots ahead of the next-closest competitors.

Celtic confirm Kieran Tierney signing on free transfer from Arsenal
Celtic have announced the signing of Kieran Tierney on a free transfer when his Arsenal contract expires at the end of this month. The left-back has signed a five-year deal with Celtic, having previously come through their academy before leaving for Arsenal in 2019. The Athletic reported the deal on January 30, adding that Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta wanted Tierney to spend the rest of the 2024-25 season with the club to provide defensive cover and experience. Days earlier, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers had said the 28-year-old had 'definitely' agreed to re-join the Scottish champions. 'Everybody's known for a few months and just to be here with the Celtic strip on again just feels amazing,' Tierney said on rejoining his boyhood club, via the Celtic website. 'I spoke with the manager, and obviously I had worked with him before and I've always kept in touch with him. He's one of the best so I'm so lucky and grateful that he's given me the chance to come back again. Advertisement 'When you move away from home, you grow up, you learn different things. I was in Spain for a year, learning a different language and playing in a different league, so I'm definitely a different person. 'Player-wise, it's the same as I always say – I'll try and work my hardest, I'll do my best for the club and that's all I can do.' Tierney was free to discuss a summer move with clubs outside of England from January 1 after being told he would not be offered a new contract by Arsenal and that they would not be triggering a one-year extension option on his current contact. The left-back joined Arsenal in 2019 and won the FA Cup in 2020. He was a regular starter in the following two seasons but made only six league starts in 2022-23. Having slipped down the pecking order, he spent the 2023-24 campaign on loan in Spain with Real Sociedad, making 20 La Liga appearances. Tierney has won four Scottish Premiership titles, plus two Scottish Cups and two Scottish League Cups. He worked with Rodgers at Celtic during the manager's first stint in charge from 2016-19. Rodgers returned to Celtic Park in 2023.
