WWE star The Miz vows to beat NBA great Charles Barkley at this year's American Century
WWE star The Miz will be among golfers in the field for the 36th installment of the prestigious American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament. Golfers will begin practice at Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course in South Lake Tahoe on the border of California and Nevada July 9-13. The Miz, whose real name is Mike Mizanin, told Fox News Digital in a recent interview he's looking to bounce back at this year's event after finishing toward the bottom of the field last year. "I'm so dedicated to doing well in the ACC that I started my own golf YouTube channel called 'Miz Golf' and, literally, I am training with the best of the best — George Gankas, James Leadbetter. Like, you name it, I am training for it. I feel very good. I feel like my swing is better than it's ever been," he said. "My understanding of the game has gotten way better. … I know what to do. It's just more applying those rules and getting reps and reps and reps. "So, I feel very confident, very good. I'm gonna go out there, I'm going to beat Charles Barkley this year, and I am not going to be in the tail end like I usually am on Sunday. I feel like I'm going to be at least in the middle of the pack." The ACC field is packed with famous athletes and actors, from Stephen Curry and Tony Romo to Colin Jost and Ray Romano. Any average Joe could easily be starstruck playing with and against those they see on the basketball court. For The Miz, most of the pressure he feels comes from the crowd and TV cameras. "I feel the pressure from the audience," he said, explaining that when he goes to golf on the weekends at a regular course there's usually nobody watching him. "Here (at Edgewood), there's thousands of people. So, you get an adrenaline rush when they announce your name like your Tiger Woods. "And you get up there, and you can't even feel your club in your hands because your adrenaline is going, your nerves are going so much. And you just pray to God that literally your swing hits the ball, and it goes straight." Charles Barkley is usually one of the former athletes who participates in the field. He finished 58th last year between Gary Sheffield and celebrity chef Bobby Flay. The Miz recalled the first time he played at the ACC and was paired with Barkley. "Everyone told me, 'Hey, at least you'll beat Charles, right? At least you'll beat Charles, right?'" The Miz recalled to Fox News Digital. "Charles doesn't golf like you see on YouTube. That was a long time ago. He has gotten training. His swing is incredible. I watched Charles Barkley hit the ball and I went, 'Oh, no. He's gonna beat me, and everyone's gonna make fun of me because everyone knows Charles for that hitch he has. But he doesn't have that hitch anymore. He actually plays very, very well. "So, I mean, just walking up and down the course, getting intimidated by Charles Barkley, who everyone said I was going to beat, is a moment in my mind." Overall, The Miz said Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course ranks in his top five of golf courses he's played, and he looks forward to the tournament. The tournament will also raise money for local and national charities. The event is a 54-hole Stableford format in which golfers earn points for each hole based on the score to par. The golfer who achieves the most points wins. Former tennis star Mardy Fish won the tournament last year. Stephen Curry was the winner in 2023. The Golden State Warriors star will be back in the field in July. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Alleged South Lake Tahoe drug dealer linked to 2024 fentanyl overdose deaths indicted in federal court
SOUTH LAKE TAHOE — An alleged drug dealer arrested in connection with four deadly overdoses in South Lake Tahoe was indicted in federal court, prosecutors said Thursday. At the end of April, the FBI announced that South Lake Tahoe resident Timothy Austin Pannell, 31, had been taken into custody, more than a year after four people — three men and one woman — died and a fifth person survived from fentanyl overdoses. The deaths occurred on February 12, 2024. Pannell was formally charged on Thursday with distribution of fentanyl causing death, the U.S. Attorney's Office's Eastern District of California announced. The U.S. Attorney's Office alleges that two of the men who died had met with Pannell in a church parking lot the night before to purchase what they thought was cocaine, but later turned out to be fentanyl. The two men then returned home and shared what they had purchased with three others. Pannell faces anywhere from 20 years to life in prison if he is convicted, prosecutors said. He also faces a $1 million fine.
