Pacific Palisades, CA- Tiger Woods shot 76 in the second round of the Genesis open at Riviera Country Club and will miss the weekend, as he missed the project +2 cut.

 
“Its nice to be back competing again,” said Woods. “
 
Woods played a forgettable back-9 three putting on three occasions.  Following Wednesdays practice round, Woods went straight to the range to practice his drive, an area of the game he has struggled with as of late. That practice failed to be much help. On Friday, Woods met 5 of 14 fairways.

Even in a tournament Woods won’t be participating in until Sunday, he isn’t completely unsatisfied.

 
“I haven’t played golf in years,” said Woods. “I’m starting to comeback and it going to take a little time. I am progressing, I’m starting to get a feel for tournament golf again.”
 
Woods will have another opportunity to feel the grind of the FedEx Cup next week when he tees off for the Honda Classic.

Los Angeles, CA – The neighborhood may have changed since the good ol’ days when you would, in the 1960s, 70s, 80s and the 90s, go to a Manual Arts High basketball game.

Games were often on a Wednesday and a Friday at 2:30 (JV) and at 4 p.m.(varsity) during the regular season, in league play and into the playoffs.

Sometimes, for a special event, the varsity games would tipoff at 7 p.m., similar to the Southern Section games, which would normally begin at 7 or 7:30 p.m.

Last Friday was one of those special nights. Very special.

There were about 500-plus Manual Arts alumni, former coaches, players, cheerleaders, supporters, family, you name it, in attendance at Senior Night.

There was head coach Randolph Simpson, flanked by longtime Toiler coach/admin Greg Bewernick, Darwin Carter, Deric Daniels and John Jackson at the team bench.

It was a night when Toiler greats Dave Shepard, Jacque Hill and Henry Johnson were being honored by being placed on the Manual Arts Wall of Fame.

There was Manual Arts basketball coach emeritus Reggie Morris chatting it up with Manual Arts football coach emeritus Rodney Spencer and members of the powerful 1966-67 and 1967-68 ‘Arts basketball teams (The ’68 team won the L.A. City title) about the good old days, including the great Raymond Lewis, Freeman Mc Neil, Dwayne Polee, etc.

There was ‘Arts alumnus Myra Porter-Robertson holding center stage during the halftime ceremony, with style and grace.

Even though Executive Prep – coached by ‘Arts alumnus Cedric Jones – pulled out to win an exciting game, there were no losers.

Time passes, life changes, but Manual Arts is here to stay…and still a winner.

Jordin Canada lead all Bruins with 16 points, 10 assists and zero turnovers for the game. This was her 5th double-double this season and her 17th in her career.

Which was just the opposite of how the Bruins began allowing the Lady Sun Devils to take a earlier 7-1 lead forcing coach Close to call a quick timeout to settle her team down.

“They competed so hard,” said UCLA coach Cori Close, “They gave us all we could handle.”

The Bruins trusted each other’s game and waited for the smart play.

Canada let the game come to her in the second half scoring 11 or 16 points. But what was more impressive was her hustle plays diving for loose balls to get more possessions.

Westwood, CA – The UCLA Bruins basketball team finds a way to be inspired and win third game in row verses their rivals 82-79 over the USC Trojans at Pauley Pavilion.

The Bruins trailed most of this game even at the half by one 41-40 at home in front of a few UCLA folklore. In the crowd was Reggie Miller, Earl Watson, Cameron Bailey, Charles O’Bannon, and few others working the game Tracy Murray alongside Bill Walton.

UCLA was able to get a big game out of two of their seniors Aaron Holiday who dropped 23 points, 5 threes, and 9 assists.

On his 22nd birthday Thomas Welsh steeped up with 21 points, 8 rebounds, and three 3 pointers.

“That’s special when you can hit from three, go into the paint and be able to hit free throws,(Welsh)” said UCLA Steve Alford.

The Trojans have never really had an answer for Welsh since he was a freshman and even now as a senior still holds true. Being a 7 footer has it’s advantages when you have multiple skills sets.

Alford Bruins were able to hunt today with the team trailing most of the game, waiting for Pauley to erupt every time they got close.

“We have to shut the water off to get the stops,” said Alford, ” The four minute game of efficiency is a big key.”

The Trojans were lead the hype man Elijah Stewart tonight with 20 points in 28 minutes on the floor.

They also had 4 players score in double digits Shaqquan Aaron (14), Nick Rakocevic (14) and Chimezie Metu (11).

“Making the freshman understand this is huge rivalry,” said Welsh, “You got punch first and keep punching.”

Next up for the Bruins will be a tough trip to the Arizona schools next week.

San Diego, CA – The west coast swing in full effect with local Tony Finau your clubhouse leader on day one with a 7-under 65 on the North Course at Torrey Pines.

The Farmers Open 2018 has brought out some big name to start the season, with crowd favorite Tiger Woods who played even par for his opening round on the South course.

San Diego hero Phil Mickelson teed off on the back nine of the North course finished with a 2-under 70 that was good enough to be tied for 35th.

The South course played .307 shots tougher then the North on opening day but the leader board shows different story. The Leader opened on North Finau, but next 5 players all played the South Course.

Finau hit the course running birdying the first two holes, and five birds on the front nine. Before he left the course he added four more but had two bogies as well.

“I got off to a great start and was able to ride that momentum,” said Finau, “We kind of did our thing on the North.”

He length off the tee is always too his advantage at course like Torrey Pines, hence why he has played well here last few starts.

“I knew it was going to play tough,” said Finau, “a good round, 7 under I think is a pretty solid  round on the North course now.”

Last year was the last time folks saw Woods play, and it was in this tournament where he shot the same score an opening round 72. The galley following him on a Thursday was a good and noisy.

“I just didn’t hit my irons very well today,” said Woods, “So tomorrow hopefully I can drive it a little bit better, hit my irons obviously a lot closer.”

The weather forecast looks good so we should have more good scores Friday from the field at the 2018 Farmers Open.

Los Angeles, CA – It was a dejavú for USC.

Stanford had one last chance to potentially sweep the season series against the Trojans but were  unable to pull off another miracles come back and fell 69-64.

“It was a very challenging PAC-12 basketball game tonight. Our league is excellent from top to bottom this year,” said USC head coach, Andy Endfield. “We are fortunate to beat a very good Stanford team tonight.”

The Trojans, who were up by as many as 15 and double digit-points majority of the contest, found themselves in a position too negatively familiar.

In the end, a 3 point attempt by the Cardinals was unsuccessful and USC escaped with its 5th straight win.

It was a team effort victory for USC, who’s leading scorer, Jonah Matthews, came off the bench with 18 points. Jordan McLaughlin had a couple of opportunities to give USC a cushion in the final minutes but he couldn’t convert on critical free-throws down the stretch. McLaughlin finished with 8 points on 3 of 11 shooting and 9 assists.

The Trojans were able to pull away in the first half, much like the first game in Palo Alto. Dunks by Metu, McLaughlin and a 3-pointer by Matthews helped USC gain its first double-digit lead of the game.

In the teams first meeting of the season, USC was denied of a road victory after Stanford converted on half court buzzer beater with 1.7 seconds remaining.

All signs pointed to another  Hollywood-fairy tail ending in Los Ángeles.

USC lead the entire game. The cardinals cut its 15 point deficit to just 2 points with 32-seconds left on a Daejon Davis free-throw.

USC went 5-20 (25%) from the 3-point line and were only able to get to the free-throw line 8 times.

This is USC’s 7th victory its last 8 games. They will have a chance for a 6th straight victory on Sunday when they host Cal.

Los Angeles, CA – USC started the game scorching hot from beyond the arc, draining eight-of-12 three-pointers in the first 10 minutes.

The Trojans made a season-high 14 3-pointers en route to a dominating 84-67 win over Utah on Sunday at the Galen Center. The victory snapped an eight-game losing streak to the Utes.

“That was a good win against a good Utah team,” USC coach Andy Enfield said. “To force turnovers and get 84 points is a good thing.”

USC completely dominated the Utes from start to finish. The Trojans played loose and always seemed to find the open man as they took a 32-13 lead on a Jonah Matthews 3-pointer midway through the first half.

Matthews led USC with 17 points and finished 3-for-5 from 3-points range.

“I felt good tonight,” Matthews said. “I hit my first one and my teammates kept finding me.”

Defensively, the Trojans held Utah to 32 percent shooting from the field and forced 11 turnovers to take a commanding 46-22 lead at halftime. USC made most of their opportunities, scoring 15 points off turnovers in the first half while draining nine three-pointers and shooting 60 percent.

In the last five games, USC has registered 45 steals and forced 89 turnovers.

“It (not having De’Anthony Melton) hurt our defense in the beginning of the year,” Enfield said. “Now we’re playing very good team defense, but we still have room for improvement.”

USC announced Melton would be held out for the 2017-18 season after the school determined that a close friend received an extra benefit.

“We made a statement tonight, for De’Anthony and for Utah,” Matthews said. “They were talking trash to us. We tried to keep our composure and let the scoreboard talk for us.”

USC will hit the road to visit Oregon on Thursday, Jan. 18. The game will be broadcast on ESPN2.

Tucson AZ- Former Texas A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin has reached an agreement to become the next head coach at Arizona, according to multiple reports.

Sumlin was fired by the Aggies in November after six seasons at the helm. The 53-year-old, who also spent four seasons as the coach at Houston, has amassed a career record of 86-43 as a head coach.

Sirius XM first reported Sumlin’s hiring Sunday afternoon. Sports Illustrated also reported the news.

Sumlin will replace Rich Rodriguez, who was fired earlier this month. USA TODAY Sports reported that the Wildcats grew uncomfortable with the direction of the football program amid allegations of workplace misconduct. Rodriguez said in a statement released through his attorney that the university had investigated claims of harassment by a former administrative assistant, who threatened a $7.5 million lawsuit.

Arizona was believed to be targeting Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo for its vacancy, but The Arizona Daily Star confirmed Sunday that Niumatalolo would stay at Navy.

Sumlin will inherit a Wildcats team led by rising junior quarterback Khalil Tate, who threw for 1,591 yards and ran for 1,411 more as a sophomore in 2017.

Los Angeles, CA- On a night where USC star players Beanie Boatwright and Chimezie Metu struggled offensively, the Trojans had enough firepower to rout Colorado 70-58 at the Galen Center Wednesday night.

Guard Jordan McLaughlin went a perfect 4-4 from 3-point range and finished with 20 points to lead the Trojans in scoring.

“Jordan knows he needs to do both,” said USC head coach, Andy Enfield “He is an opportunistic guy. Everyone has an off night but is nice to be able to win a game when your two leading scorers are 4 of 22.”

After Sunday’s defeat at the hands of Stanford on a half-court buzzer beater, the Trojans were eager to get back on the floor to correct their errors.

“We have to just move on after every game, win or lose. Learn from your mistakes and move on. It was good to get out here and get a win,” said McLaughlin.

Metu shot 3 of 12 from the floor but still managed to pitch in 14 points. He was the only other player in double figured in scoring for USC.

The Trojans shot 9-17 from the 3-point line. Jonah Matthews finished the game with 9 points for USC with all three of his shots coming from behind the 3-point line.

USC held a lead for a majority of the first half but what once was a 9 point lead turned into a 32-30 deficit with 3:25 left in the half. A couple of baskets by McLauglin and Boatwright’s only made shot of the game gave USC a 38-34 halftime lead.

The Trojans were able to pull away in the second half after a couple of Matthews and McLauglin 3-pointers.

Colorado had 22 turnovers, which lead to 25 point for the Trojans.

“We got our hands on a lot of basketballs. I thought our man was good, our zone was excellent and the guys really played hard tonight with a sense of purpose,” said Enfield

George King led Colorado in scoring with 21 points.

USC will welcome Utah on Sunday.
