Patton Kizzire pulls out of PGA Championship with injury
May 16 - Patton Kizzire withdrew during Friday's second round of the PGA Championship due to an injury.
The tour did not disclose the nature of the injury for Kizzire, 39, who was 6-over through 10 holes in Friday's round at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, N.C.
Kizzire had a roller-coaster opening round of 3-over 74 on Thursday, mixing four birdies and seven bogeys.
With the projected cut as of midday Friday at 1 over, Kizzire (9 over) was a serious long shot to continue into the weekend before pulling out.
A three-time winner on the PGA Tour, Kizzire entered the season's second major with eight missed cuts in 2025. He also withdrew after eight holes at the Valspar Championship in March with a back injury. Before his day ended, he punted his putter across the green after missing a putt.
Kizzire picked up his third win in September 2024 at the Procore Championship in Napa, Calif. His best finish so far this season is a T20 last week in Myrtle Beach, S.C.

Nick Gonzales' walk-off sac fly lifts Pirates past Phillies
June 7 - Nick Gonzales' sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth scored Adam Frazier and lifted the host Pittsburgh Pirates to a 5-4 comeback win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night in a game that began late following a one-hour, 23-minute rain delay. Gonzales' walk-off RBI secured the Pirates their first win over Philadelphia this season. The Phillies played without Bryce Harper, who was not in the lineup due to a sore right wrist. The Pirates loaded the bases with no outs in the ninth on a single by Frazier, a bloop single to center by Jared Triolo and a perfectly executed bunt single by Isiah Kiner-Falefa that rolled up the third base line slowly and stopped. Phillies reliever Jordan Romano (0-3) struck out Oneil Cruz, but Gonzales lifted a fly ball that landed in the glove of Max Kepler on the warning track, allowing Frazier to walk home with the Pirates' second win in the past three games. Frazier led the Pirates at the plate with three hits while Bryan Reynolds and Henry Davis each had two hits, a home run and two RBIs. Trea Turner led the Phillies with three hits and two RBIs. The Pirates and Phillies matched each other to a 4-4 stalemate after four innings. Turner singled and then came around to score two batters later on a Nick Castellanos groundout to give the Phillies a 1-0 lead. Pittsburgh answered in the bottom half when Gonzales tripled and scored on an RBI single by Reynolds. Tied at 2 in the top of the fourth, Turner drove in two more runs on a single off reliever Chase Shugart, which scored J.T. Realmuto and Edmundo Sosa. Shugart had just relieved Pirates starter Bailey Falter, who matched his shortest outing of the season, pitching 3 2/3 innings. Falter allowed four runs on five hits and two walks and struck out two on 65 pitches. But the Pirates picked up their starter, scoring two in the bottom half of the fourth inning on Davis' two-run home run. Davis entered the game in the third inning after Endy Rodriguez left the game with right elbow discomfort. Pirates reliever David Bednar (1-4) struck out the side in the ninth to keep the game tied. --Field Level Media

Texas blasts Texas Tech's NiJaree Canady, wins 1st WCWS title
June 7 - OKLAHOMA CITY -- Texas battered star Texas Tech pitcher NiJaree Canady in the first inning and rolled, beating the Red Raiders 10-4 to win the decisive Game 3 of the Women's College World Series championship series and the first national title in program history on Friday. The Longhorns (56-12) had fallen in the WCWS championship series in two of the previous three seasons. While the first two games of the series were tight and low scoring, featuring a total of 10 runs, but Texas blew open Game 3 early against Canady. Texas scored five first-inning runs, highlighted by Leighann Goode's three-run, two-out home run to cap the frame. With one out, the Longhorns delivered four consecutive singles to get on the board before Goode belted her 10th home run of the season. The five first-inning runs were the most surrendered by Canady, a junior, in one inning in her career. After the first inning, Canady was lifted in favor of Chloe Riassetto. It was the first pitching change the Red Raiders had made in the WCWS, with Canady pitching the first 36 innings for Texas Tech in Oklahoma City. Texas added another run in the third, then made it a blowout in the fourth on Mia Scott's grand slam that put the Longhorns up 10-0. It was Scott's 10th long ball of the year. Longhorns pitcher Teagan Kavan allowed just one hit through four innings before the Red Raiders (54-14) broke through with three runs on three hits and two errors in the fifth. Kavan (28-5) allowed eight hits and four runs, all unearned, in the complete-game victory. She struck out three without walking a batter. Henry finished with three hits. Texas' Reese Atwood, Katie Stewart and Scott each had two hits, and Stewart drove in two runs. Canady (34-7) yielded five runs on five hits and no walks with two strikeouts. Texas Tech's Hailey Toney went 3-for-4 with three RBIs, and Mihyia Davis had two hits. --Field Level Media

Mountaineer suffers devastating 3,000-foot plunge to his death from America's tallest mountain
A ski mountaineer from New York suffered a devastating 3,000-foot drop to his death off America's tallest mountain. Alex Chiu, 41, was climbing the West Buttress of Alaska 's Mount McKinley, formerly Denali, 'un-roped' with two others on Monday when he fell from Squirrel Point. Chiu fell toward the Peters Glacier, an exposed rocky 3000-foot face, where his body was found two days later, according to the Denali National Park Service. Those with him witnessed Chiu fall, and attempted to scale as far down the face as possible but were unable to hear or see the mountaineer. The pair then descended the route for help, but high winds and snow kept rescuers from reaching Chiu until Wednesday morning. Chiu had recently moved back to New York City in 2023, according to an Instagram post. The mountaineer had posted about his trip to Denali prior to the tragic accident, including packing, their flight to Alaska and cooking with friends. A friend of Chiu's, James Lee, told the New York Times that Chiu handled other climbs before his fateful last. 'Alex was a well known and valued member of the Seattle climbing community,' Lee said. 'He introduced many people to mountaineering and rock climbing and could be found mountaineering, skiing or rock climbing on most weekends.' Chiu said on Instagram that he had stopped much of his climbing following the pandemic, but had started his return to the sport. 'So, tomorrow I am getting on an airplane to Alaska, in an attempt to climb the third highest peak in the world because I don't want to know what happens to a dream deferred,' he wrote. His latest post on May 19 was flooded with comments of love and remembrance. One wrote: 'My heart is broken. You will be so missed Alex. You are such a light. You touched every single person you encountered.' 'Thanks for being such an amazing light and energy Alex. You were always so positive and supportive. Will miss you bud,' another said. One commenter wrote: 'One of the most adventurous, sweet, passionate souls to ever grace the world of extreme sports. Alex was bold and brave, with the kindest heart- full of love for friends, family, and adventure.' Chiu wrote on his last post: 'I had become an Alpinist, a mountain climber specializing in high and difficult ascents. I slowly realized I was living my dream every single weekend, I could do this every single weekend...'
