Mackenzie Lee's ace at Champions Retreat her second in five days
EVANS, Ga. – Mackenzie Lee did what she always does when she hits a good shot.
'Automatic tee pickup,' said the SMU junior, who then watched as her tee ball on Champions Retreat's sixth hole landed on the green and disappeared into the hole, about 135 yards away. Originally, she thought it had rolled down a slope or something, but another caddie quickly broke the exciting news.
'I'm like, no way,' said Lee, who opened the Augusta National Women's Amateur in 4-under 68 on Wednesday. 'I literally just had one last week, like you're lying to me.'
Lee now has seven career holes-in-one, four of those coming in tournaments, including last week's Clemson Invitational. Lee started her second round last Saturday on the 160-yard, par-3 seventh hole at Lake Keowee's Reserve Course. With her first swing of the day, Lee jarred it.
'I was telling myself I need another warm-up because it was shotgun and we were on No. 7, like all the way out there, like a 20-minute drive in the golf carts,' Lee said. 'I was like, OK, let's just try to get this on the green because [the pin is] in the front and there's water in front of that. Yeah, it went in, and I was like, that was insane.
'But this one, you can't really see the hole, and I was like I don't know if it's in, we shall see. Like no one saw it, but yeah, it was in.'
Lee's ace, the second in tournament history (Bohyun Park, 2023, Champions Retreat's eighth hole), was part of a strong close for the ANWA first-timer. After playing her first 10 holes in 2 over, Lee birdied Nos. 2, 3, 5, 7 and 9 as part of her second-nine, 5-under 31.

We hit 83 in our Raiders countdown to kickoff. Who wore it best and who's wearing it now
We hit 83 in our Raiders countdown to kickoff. Who wore it best and who's wearing it now We've reached 83 days until the Raiders season opener at Foxboro against the Patriots, With our countdown at 83 days we take a look at who currently dons the number in Silver & Black and who has brought it the most distinction. No. 83 Who's wearing it now: WR Key'Shawn Smith Smith is an undrafted rookie out of SMU. The 5-11, 187-pound receiver started his college career at Miami before transferring to SMU after his junior season. He saw his numbers go up each of the past three seasons, culminating in 33 catches for 527 yards and five touchdowns as a fifth-year senior. Who wore it best: OLB Ted Hendricks The Mad Stork spent the final nine years of his 15-year NFL career in Silver & Black. Probably not coincidentally, the Raiders won all three Super Bowls in his time with the team. Two of those years he was named a first team All Pro. In his career, he earned four Super Bowl rings, was a four-time All Pro, eight-time Pro Bowler, and was a member of BOTH the All-70s and All-80s Hall of Fame teams.

Wake Forest Football Preview 2025: Jake Dickert Will Prove the Demon Deacons Can Win
As SMU proved last year, and as Duke showed over the last three years, you don't have to be Clemson, Florida State, or Miami to win in the Wake Forest showed in the 11-win 2021 that it was possible to win big. And under Dave Clausen, the program showed that going to a bowl game isn't just possible, it should be a it's easy to underestimate the Demon Deacons. X CFN, Fiu | CFN Facebook | Bluesky Fiu, CFNWake Forest Offense BreakdownWake Forest Defense BreakdownSeason Prediction, Win Total, Keys to SeasonThey don't get the talent that most of the ACC schools can land, and it takes a combination of the right schedule, the right schemes, and the right breaks to pull off winning campaigns. And that's where new head coach Jake Dickert comes into the fire in 2021 at Washington State following the parting of ways with Nick Rolovich, Dickert wasn't amazing, but he kept the program afloat with three bowl appearances in four years. It helped that he was able to get Cam Ward through the transfer portal, and then John Mateer, but for a guy who spent his career as a top defensive assistant, his teams crank up the one of those coaches who knows how to get wins, but his Cougars collapsed late last season and closed 1-7 in 2023. Don't worry about Demon Deacons have the right schedule and the right schemes, and they should have the right coach to prove that it's possible to win lots of football games again.
