The 43-year-old shot a 5-under 67 to move to 11 under for the tournament and in a tie with Tony Finau two shots back of the lead at the end of his round. Several other players are still on the course, so this could change, but for now, Woods’ name is very near the top of the leaderboard. “I felt like if I just get the speed a little bit better than I did yesterday — because I had the lines — they’re going to start going in and they did,” Woods told ESPN after his round....

DeChambeau stormed to his maiden major success at the U.S. Open in September but was unable to replicate his Winged Foot success in Georgia this week, finishing 2 under par at Augusta, where Dustin Johnson reigned supreme. The 27-year-old vowed to play the iconic par-72 course as if it were a par-67, yet found himself scrambling to make the cut on Saturday after opening efforts of 70 and 74....

The Masters, which began in 1934, has been held at Augusta National Golf Club every year since 1946. The tradition-rich event has one of the most iconic prizes in the sport — the green jacket — and also happens to be one of its most exclusive. The winners of the Masters include the greatest golfers to ever play. From Jack Nicklaus to Arnold Palmer to Ben Hogan and Tiger Woods, the tournament has helped shape some of the most prolific golf careers of all time....

The Red Devils suffered a shock humbling by the second-tier outfit at the quarter-final stage of a competition they conquered last season. Another piece of silverware has now been surrendered, having claimed three trophies in 2016-17, but there remains plenty still to play for. That is the mindset being adopted by Mata, with the Spaniard adamant that those in Jose Mourinho’s squad will put a disappointing setback behind them and go again on other fronts....

Jordan Spieth made it look like child's play. Graeme McDowell aged another 10 years with another stunning escape. And it proved too difficult for Henrik Stenson, Justin Rose and Rory McIlroy, who lost in extra holes on another wild day at Dove Mountain. MORE: Golf.com leaderboard/bracket | TV times "I thought I was dead and buried both days," McDowell said. One day after he rallied from 3 down with three holes to play to win in overtime, McDowell was two holes behind on the 15th tee when he made an 8-foot birdie, halved the next hole with a 10-foot par, won the 17th with a birdie and then holed a 6-foot par putt on the 18th for a 1-up win over Hideki Matsuyama of Japan....

The woman, whose TikTok handle is @newyorksurrogate, posted the photos on her account last week, with the caption: “We did a ‘maternity’ shoot and it came out great!” The video amassed more than 4 million views and over 600,000 likes, as well as thousands of comments, but the user has since turned them off. But a still from the video, showing the surrogate in a red maxi dress cradling her baby bump while standing in the background behind the couple, was shared on Twitter over the weekend....

The Giants right-hander will meet with the noted surgeon this week, the San Jose Mercury News reports. Cain had been pitching with bone chips that were causing inflammation in the elbow. He was placed on the disabled list last week. An MRI exam revealed no damage to the ligament associated with Tommy John surgery, but the Giants still want Andrews to take a look. From the Mercury News report:

Gaetz tweeted the names of House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, then ended the post with “McFailure.” While Gaetz did not elaborate on the tweet’s meaning, McConnell, McCarthy and McDaniel have all been criticized for their leadership in the wake of the GOP’s results on Election Day. “Congressman Gaetz’s tweet speaks for itself,” a spokesman for the congressman told Newsweek....

Jones, a former Florida Department of Health data scientist, posted a video on TikTok about the “disturbing” Facebook photo which was uploaded onto Gaetz’s Facebook on September 10. The Facebook post in question was two photos side by side, one showing dozens of people at a campaign event for Gaetz, alongside one of a young child alone with his head on the desk at a booth. “Gaetz vs Jones campaign events,” the Republican wrote, while sharing the images onto Facebook....

Gaetz, a Republican who represents Florida’s 1st congressional district, took aim at the network in the premiere episode of his podcast Firebrand and praised former Fox Business Network host Lou Dobbs, whose show was canceled in February. The congressman focused much of his criticism on Ryan, who was speaker of the House from 2015 and 2019 and became a member of the Fox Corporation’s board of directors two months after leaving Congress....

MORE: MLB trade deadline winners and losers That was the Braves’ new right fielder talking about Atlanta vs. Los Angeles and San Diego, and trying to suck up to his new fans, which is fine — but the Dodgers are first in attendance this year (44,922 average), and the Padres are 16th (28,910). Way down at 25th, with a 23,200 average, are the Braves. This is mainly because the Braves stink; last year was their worst for attendance since 1990....

The Texan movie star revealed this week that he is against mandating the coronavirus jab for children in remarks that have been met with criticism. Although the Interstellar star, 52, confirmed he has gotten the vaccine, he said he is against giving it to his kids. “I couldn’t mandate having to vaccinate the younger kids. I still want to find out more information,” McConaughey said at the New York Times DealBook summit on November 9....

In recent days, the Massachusetts-born actor, 51, has taken to Instagram to share snapshots of himself posing in Friends-themed merchandise, which he’s selling on a personalized website. And on Monday, nostalgia collided with current events, when he showed himself donning a T-shirt emblazoned with the words: “Could I BE any more vaccinated?” Marrying his beloved character Chandler Bing’s oft-uttered catchphrase with the COVID-19 pandemic, the star has made it clear that he wants his 7....

Watch: Marleau scores first goals with Maple Leafs “Our penalty kill came up huge for us. They’ve obviously got some shooters, some guys who can put the puck in the net and we definitely limited some of their chances and obviously Freddy (Andersen) came up just huge sometimes.” Matthews said following the game. 

But he drew the line at the staredown he received from Paul George and DeMarcus Cousins after the play. “I think the staredown should’ve been a technical foul, in my opinion, but that’s not my decision,” Kleber said Sunday, per ESPN’s Tim MacMahon. “I didn’t really care. I get up and try to keep playing, and we kept playing. Stuff like that happens. Obviously, it was an amazing dunk.”...

Luka Doncic orchestrated the offense to perfection, recording 33 points, eight assists, and six rebounds on 12-of-20 from the field and 4-of-9 from the 3-point line — his 17th 30-point game of the season. He got plenty of help from third-year wing Josh Green, who recorded 16 points, five assists, four rebounds, and two steals off the bench on 6-of-7 from the field, doing the bulk of his damage in the first quarter with 10 points on a perfect 4-of-4 from the field....

Listen to the FCD defender, and he’ll tell you it’s a ritual involving a South American tea and some of Argentina’s finest tunes. “Drinking mate before every game! He drinks a lot of mate and motivates himself by listening to traditional music,” Figueroa told Goal with a laugh. “No, the truth is Maxi is a great player, very important for us. He’s showed that not only tonight but also the whole previous season and this one that he’s also started well....

Of the service members killed in the Kabul attacks, Soviak was the first identified to the media by his family. Soviak was from northern Ohio and serving as a medic with the U.S. Navy, his mother told the station. The Navy said on Friday one of its sailors was killed in the attack outside the international airport in Kabul but added it would not publicly identify the sailor until their family had been notified....

As the Cubs attempted a ninth-inning comeback against the Dodgers, a fan near the Los Angeles bullpen felt the (likely alcohol-fueled) need to reach over the wall and hit catcher Chad Kreuter in the back of the head, then steal his hat. From there, things went about how you’d expect.
