Cabrera wins second senior major in seven days
Angel Cabrera won the Senior PGA Championship at Congressional to secure his second senior major title in seven days.
The 55-year-old from Argentina followed his win at the Regions Tradition on Monday with victory in Maryland.
Cabrera, the 2007 US Open winner and 2009 Masters champion, overhauled Padraig Harrington in the closing holes to win by one shot.
Irishman Harrington ended in a tie for second place with Denmark's Thomas Bjorn, another former European Ryder Cup player and captain.
In April, Cabrera missed the cut in his first appearance at the Masters for six years following his release from prison.
He was found guilty in 2021 of charges which included assault and intimidation of former partners.
Cabrera was released in August 2023 after serving 30 months in South American prisons, and has apologised in subsequent interviews.

Rory McIlroy changes to different TaylorMade driver ahead of RBC Canadian Open
Rory McIlroy changes to different TaylorMade driver ahead of RBC Canadian Open A week ahead of the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont, and after having his old Qi10 driver fail a USGA test, Rory's got a new driver in the bag in Canada. According to TaylorMade, Rory McIlroy intends to play this week's RBC Canadian Open using a new driver, switching from the company's Qi10, which he used to win the 2025 Masters and complete the career Grand Slam in April, into TaylorMade's new Qi35. McIlroy's Qi35 will have the same loft (9 degrees) and has been fitted with the same shaft, a Fujikura Ventus Black, but McIlroy has the adjustable hosel set to a lower position and the club has a slightly shorter finished length to help the five-time major winner enhance his accuracy off the tee. That will be especially important next week as the rough at Oakmont Country Club, site of the 2025 U.S. Open, may be the thickest and most brutal the players see all season. According to TaylorMade, McIlroy had the new driver with him earlier this week when he visited and played Oakmont. McIlroy is also expected to be using a new 3-wood starting this week, opting for a Qi35 with 15 degrees of loft. The new 3-wood was built with the same Fujikura Ventus Black 8X shaft McIlroy had on his Qi10 3-wood. Finally, Rory added a TaylorMade P770 3 iron to his bag this week at TPC Toronto, replacing the 18-degree Qi10 fairway wood he often carries.

10-year-old testifies against former Maryland teacher accused of sexually abusing students
A 10-year-old alleged victim testified Wednesday in the case against Matthew Schlegel, a former third-grade teacher in Anne Arundel County, who is accused of sexually abusing multiple students. The girl claims Schlegel inappropriately touched her while she was his student. She alleged the assault happened while she was at her desk, when she would go to his desk for help, and when he would hug her. Schlegel, 45, a former math teacher at Severna Park Elementary School, is on trial for allegedly sexually abusing eight students during class between August 2022 and March 2024. He is facing 33 counts of assault and sexual abuse of a minor. A 10-year-old alleged victim testified Wednesday in the case against Matthew Schlegel, a former third-grade teacher in Anne Arundel County, who is accused of sexually abusing multiple students. CBS News Baltimore The girl testified that two weeks after Schlegel was removed from school, she was at another alleged victim's house, and the girls wrote down possible reasons why he left, with one being the inappropriate touching. An alleged victim's mother testified that she found the note on her daughter's iPad. The trial is scheduled to continue until June 17. Defense pushes back on alleged victim The defense emphasized that these girls are friends and were interested in "solving the mystery" of what happened to Schlegel. They also suggested the girls couldn't tell their parents they were "joking around." The alleged victim said this was not a joke. She added that she was afraid of getting in trouble and didn't report the touching earlier because she was scared. The alleged victim's mom said when she found out, her "stomach sank and she felt sick." She and other parents went to the principal that night. She said her daughter was crying, repeating, "It's true, it's true." Schlegel removed from classroom in 2024 The Anne Arundel County Public School district said Schlegel was removed from the classroom on March 15, 2024, immediately after they were notified of the sexual abuse allegations. A district spokesperson said Schlegel had been employed with them since 2008. He became a teacher at Severna Park Elementary in 2016. The mother of one of the children said that when parents were notified of Schlegel's removal, she was initially concerned because he was a favorite among the children. The mother told the jury that her daughter is "not the same child that she was before her third-grade year." 9-year-old student testifies A 9-year-old student took the stand on May 22. She described how girls would often be behind Schlegel's desk with him while getting help with math. She said other students could not see what was happening "from the waist down" behind the desk. Detectives say that's when most of the abuse took place.

Unsealed records in Abrego Garcia case offer few details that are new, unknown
A federal judge on Wednesday ordered the unsealing of several court documents in the lawsuit over Kilmar Abrego Garcia's deportation, rejecting the Trump administration's arguments that it would risk national security. U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis in Maryland issued her order after media organizations, including The Associated Press, argued the public has a right to access court records under the First Amendment. Filings unsealed so far offer little information that's new or unknown publicly. Xinis described one document as 'relatively boilerplate.' It was a request by the Trump administration to temporarily halt discovery, an early phase of a lawsuit where parties share evidence. 'It does not disclose any potentially privileged or otherwise sensitive information for which a compelling government interest outweighs the right to access,' Xinis wrote. Xinis noted that some documents were public before the court was asked to seal them the next day. Those filings contained a back-and-forth between Abrego Garcia's attorneys and the U.S. government over efforts to return him from El Salvador. Trump administration lawyers often objected to answering questions, arguing that they involve state secrets, sensitive diplomatic negotiations and other protected information. For example, the U.S. attorneys mentioned 'appropriate diplomatic discussions with El Salvador.' But they wrote that disclosing the details 'could negatively impact any outcome.' Xinis also ordered the partial release of a transcript from an April 30 court hearing. Some of it will be reacted to protect potentially classified information. Wednesday's ruling was unrelated to the Trump administration pending invocation of the state secrets privilege, a legal doctrine often used in military cases. The administration has argued that releasing information about the Abrego Garcia matter in open court — or even to the judge in private – could jeopardize national security. Xinis is yet to rule on the state secrets claim. Abrego Garcia's attorneys have argued that the Trump administration has done nothing to return the Maryland construction worker. They say the government is invoking the privilege to hide behind the misconduct of mistakenly deporting him and refusing to bring him back. Abrego Garcia's deportation violated a U.S. immigration judge's order in 2019 that shielded Abrego Garcia from expulsion to his native country. The immigration judge determined that Abrego Garcia faced likely persecution by a local Salvadoran gang that terrorized his family. Abrego Garcia's American wife sued over his deportation. Xinis ordered his return on April 4. The Supreme Court ruled on April 10 that the administration must work to bring him back. President Donald Trumptold ABC News in late April that he could retrieve Abrego Garcia with a phone call to El Salvador's president. But Trump said he wouldn't do it because Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang, an allegation that Abrego Garcia denies and for which he was never charged.
