Nicolai Hojgaard, Sam Stevens tied for lead at Punta Cana PUNTA CANA, Dominican Republic (AP) — Nicolai Hojgaard of Denmark played bogey-free Saturday for a 6-under 66 and shared the lead with PGA Tour rookie Sam Stevens in the Corales Punta Cana Championship.Stevens twice had the lead down the stretch on the Corales course until a wobbly finish, making bogey on the 16th, answering with a birdie on the par-3 17th and then missing the 18th green for a closing bogey and a 68.They were at 14-under 202, one shot ahead of a large group that included 36-hole leader Matt Wallace of England, Thomas Detry of Belgium and Tyler Duncan, who won his only PGA Tour title at Sea Island in 2019.“Sixteen, I kind of misjudged the wind and sliced it and made a bogey there. Then 18, I just hit a bad iron shot,” Stevens said. “That was my worst swing of the day. I felt pretty good about everything else.”All of them had to deal with a relentless wind, which was particularly strong during the closing holes that likely will decide the tournament on Sunday.Hojgaard...

Texas seeks 1st Final Four in 20 years, Miami its 1st ever KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Texas coach Rodney Terry was not more than 20 minutes removed from a resounding win over Xavier in the Sweet 16 when he was asked about the next mammoth task during what is becoming an improbable run toward a home-state Final Four.How do you slow down Nijel Pack and high-scoring Miami?“You’re not going to let me enjoy this for one night, huh?” Terry replied.He was joking, of course. Terry and his second-seeded Longhorns — the best seed left in an upset-filled NCAA Tournament — have been savoring every moment of March Madness. It began two weeks ago with a run through Kansas to the Big 12 Tournament title on the same floor inside T-Mobile Center, and with a win over the No. 5 seed Hurricanes on Sunday night, it would end with a trip to Houston and Texas’ first Final Four appearance in 20 years.“This has been a very resilient team all year long,” said Terry, the longtime assistant who epitomized that resolve by keeping the Longhorns together after c...

NHL-best Bruins clinch Atlantic with 2-1 win over Tampa Bay BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Bruins are winning so much that clinching their division didn’t merit any celebration. Captain Patrice Bergeron didn’t even realize it had happened.Garnet Hathaway scored the tiebreaking goal late in the second period and the NHL-best Boston Bruins wrapped up first place in the Atlantic Division with their sixth straight victory, 2-1 over the Tampa Bay Lightning, on Saturday.The win was the Bruins’ 56th and moves them one behind the club record set in 1970-71. It also keeps them on pace to set the NHL record for victories in a regular season with 10 games left. The Detroit Red Wings won 62 in 1995-96 and Tampa Bay matched it in their final regular-season game (at TD Garden in Boston) in 2018-19.“I forgot because things were happening so quickly,” Bruins first-year coach Jim Montgomery said when asked what he told his team about winning the division. “We didn’t actually talk about the Atlantic Division, but its a tremendous feat with 10 game...

Yankees Notebook: Jhony Brito enters the rotation mix With Luis Severino injured, the Yankees may need to tap even further into their starting pitching depth early this season.With Carlos Rodon and Frankie Montas already out to start the year, Severino is dealing with a low-grade lat strain on his right side. The injury will keep Severino from making what would have been his first start of the season and will “probably” land him on the injured list, according to Aaron Boone.The manager added that, should the Yankees require a fifth starter during Severino’s absence, Jhony Brito could join the rotation. Domingo German and Clarke Schmidt, who is now scheduled to start the second game of the season, are already filling in for Rodon and Montas.Brito, the Yanks’ 27th-best prospect, will start against the Blue Jays on Sunday in what was supposed to be Severino’s final spring training outing. A 25-year-old righty from the Dominican Republic, Brito owns a 3.52 ERA, seven strikeouts and zero walks over 7.2 innings ...
