Brooke Henderson win in another rout and Nelly Korda hangs on in LPGA Match Play

One day after a 6-and-5 win in the opening round, Henderson pulled away late by winning five of the last seven holes Thursday in a 5-and-4 win over Peiyun Chien of Taiwan.

Hec's last marathon may have been run with his son
Petawawa – Not too many dads at the age of 75 can boast running a half marathon with their 46-year-old son, but Hec Clouthier of Petawawa can claim he has done that as well as completing 50 full marathons (42 kms) and 17 half marathons. Mr. Clouthier and his son, Jeff, were among the 9,800 runners participating in the recent Ottawa Marathon, finishing the course in 2:03:45, a respectable time considering his age and the fact it was only Jeff's second time running a half marathon. The first time Jeff ran in a marathon was 16 years ago at the age of 30, but he came away from it with a stress fracture and ended up in a walking cast for six weeks. He complained about a sore leg throughout the race, but his dad blamed it on a lack of training. When the two crossed the finish line, (Hec insisted they finish the race running rather than walking) not only did he feel bad for berating him, but even worse after his wife, Debbie was finished with him. 'It turned out to be disastrous for him because at about the 16 km mark he started hobbling,' the senior Mr. Clouthier said. 'I thought maybe he just cramped his leg. He thought he had broken his leg. I told him he didn't break his leg, he just didn't train enough.' The two slowed down. Then Jeff started walking and then he was limping. 'Then we saw the finish line and I said, 'okay Jeff, we are not walking across that finish line. We are going to run across that finish line'. I was kind of giving it to him a bit, saying he didn't train enough. We crossed the finish line and he was leaning on me.' Heading into the recent Ottawa event, they set their time for 2:15, which is still a decent time for a half marathon. But as they ran the course, Jeff insisted they start running a bit faster to improve their completion time. Although the senior Mr. Clouthier was concerned his son might run out of gas, Jeff kept urging him to pick up the pace, and they crossed the finish line just over two hours later. Jeff was ecstatic. And dad was thrilled, saying it is not very often that sort of thing happens. 'I mean, how many other people 46 years old can say I ran a half marathon with my 75-year-old father?' Running marathons has been a passion for the former Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke Member of Parliament, who ran his 50th marathon in New York City last November. Now he is contemplating giving up marathons. 'If it (Ottawa) is my last long-distance run, it is a good way to go out with your 46-year-old son,' he said. It was a great day for running in Ottawa, he said. The weather wasn't exceedingly hot like last year when he ran the full marathon, and it was much too hot. He has run most of his 50 marathons in Ottawa, Toronto, Boston and New York. But he has also competed in marathons in Europe and Australia. When he ran what may have been his last marathon last November, at age 75, he didn't realize he was the fastest Canadian in the 75 and over age group. While his days of marathons might have come to an end, his days of running have not. He starts each day with a 10 km run. 'I don't run fast, but I run a route near my house,' he said. It's on Gutzman Road, from the top of Gutzman Hill down to the Ottawa River. 'From the top of the hill to the Ottawa River, the end of the pavement and back, is exactly 2.5 kms so I do that four times every day,' he shared. 'It's all downhill one way and all uphill the other way and the more times I run that and the more years I run that, that hill is starting to look like Mt. Everest, but I just take my time.' So what is it about running that has made it a lifelong passion for him? 'Just to stay in shape physically,' he said. 'I have always said running is good for you physically. It's even better for you mentally. I encourage people. Some people say they couldn't run a marathon or a half-marathon. I just say you don't have to. Just get out of the house, put on your walking shoes, and go for a walk. 'And if you want to run a little bit, you can run a little bit. Just get out there and see things. It makes your mind work.' Mr. Clouthier said anyone can run a marathon or a half marathon if they do the training, have the time or if their body permits them to. 'Motion is lotion,' he quipped. He admits there are mornings he gets up and has to drag himself out. But once you do it, you feel better. I have a treadmill and stationary bike, but I like outdoor running. If it's 40 or 30 below, you just dress accordingly. If it's 30 above, just dress accordingly.' Running allows him the time to think about a lot of things, and because he prefers to run alone, there no interruptions. 'I have been asked many times to run with different running groups and I said nothing against the running groups, but I prefer to be alone out there.' Error!

Patriots RB coach admits TreVeyon Henderson snubbed him in college
Patriots RB coach admits TreVeyon Henderson snubbed him in college Rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson may be a national champion and a former Ohio State Buckeye, but that wouldn't have been the case if New England Patriots coach Tony Dews had his way. Dews revealed that he pushed hard in recruiting Henderson all the way back in 2017, when he was still the running backs coach for West Virginia. He knew the talent was electric back then, and he was determined to add a potential game-changer to the Mountaineers' offensive backfield. Henderson was a highly-touted running back recruit, ranking as the 11th overall player in the 2021 class, the top running back in the class and the top player in his class from the state of West Virginia, according to 247 Sports' recruit rankings. Fast forward eight years later, and Dews will finally have an opportunity to work with Henderson in New England. The highly-touted running back was taken in the second round of the 2025 NFL draft by the Patriots. 'I was very excited about it. I tried to recruit him back in high school - years ago when I was at West Virginia," said Dews, via MassLive's Mark Daniels. "He snubbed me. But it was good to be able to reconnect with him. Obviously, I'm very excited about him and what he might be able to do to help us going forward.' Henderson's addition to a Patriots' offensive backfield that also includes Rhamondre Stevenson, Antonio Gibson and rookie Lan Larison gives Dews plenty to work with in the 2025 season. It's a room crowded with talent, including a legitimate home run threat with the former Buckeye. Follow Patriots Wire on Twitter and Facebook.
