With Round 2 under way at Royal Portrush on Friday, the 2019 leaderboard is crowded at the top. Blistery conditions typical of the British Open presented a challenge for some during Thursday’s Round 1, including Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, who underwhelmed with a 7-over 78 and an 8-over 79, respectively. The struggling stars start Friday a whopping 12 strokes back of leader J.B. Holmes (5 under).

Anderson dismissed Tim Paine with the second new ball in the morning session, but appeared to be struggling with a side injury before lunch. The word from the England camp was that their leading Test wicket-taker was fine, but he bowled only four overs in an afternoon session and spent time off the field while the magnificent Steve Smith (141 not out) led an Australia recovery. England paceman Broad, who took 3-49 as Australia rallied from 209-7 to 328 all out to take a lead of 26 runs, stated that there was nothing wrong with Anderson....

Having sold Luis Suarez last summer to Barcelona, Liverpool’s gamble in signing Mario Balotelli to replace him did not pay off. Further, Sturridge’s injury problems landed Brendan Rodgers a position that has reflected in Liverpool’s issues in front of goal this time around – scoring a measly 47 goals Premier League goals in comparison to 101 last season. When queried on Sturridge’s position as main striker for the Reds next season, Rodgers said, “He’s not fit and once he can show that consistency and fitness, you can see in his performance level that it’s a high one....
Favre, in a tweet, referred to Tillman’s 2004 death in action in Afghanistan, writing the former NFL defensive back “deserves the highest honor.” The Hall of Fame quarterback drew heavy criticism for telling TMZ Sports that Kaepernick would, in time, be considered a “hero” for speaking out against police brutality and racial injustice just as Tillman is considered a hero for qutting football to enlist in the U.S. Army after 9/11....
But that didn’t stop one legend from paying tribute to the other. Favre pointed out Dec. 13, 1983 as the date he wanted to become a professional football player: His father Irv took him and his brother Scott to a Saints-Rams game.

Auditor Shad White said Favre has already sent back $500,000 and will repay the balance in installments over the next several months. The money originally came from the state’s Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. It was sent to the Mississippi Community Education Center via the state’s Department of Human Services, and then to Favre’s company, Favre Enterprises. Payments were made in 2017 and 2018, according to a state audit of the DHS....
Joy when he’s at the plate. Joy when he’s in the dugout with his teammates. Joy when he’s roaming the outfield. Joy when he’s hitting grand slams. Joy, even when he’s being hit with a 95-mph pitch right next to the shoulder blade. That’s Brett Phillips, one of the most unique personalities in the sport. At Sporting News, we wanted to sample a piece of that joy, so I invited Phillips to a one-on-one Zoom session to look back at some of his more memorable moments this season....

Lorenzo Cain had four hits, Mike Moustakas scored on Carl Edwards Jr.’s wild pitch in the sixth inning and the Brewers beat the Chicago Cubs 3-2 on Monday night to move within one game of the division leaders. “That’s a great team over there. They’re not going to go away,” Moustakas said. “They’re not going to just give it up, so we’ve got to go out there every single day, keep fighting, keep grinding and go to win a ballgame each and every night....

For the past year, Ortega and Jung have been trash-talking each other, with the latter saying in February that the former was scared to fight him because Ortega had to bow of their scheduled fight last December with a knee injury. Ortega responded at UFC 248 by slapping Jung’s translater and entertainer Jay Park. Cooler heads have since prevailed, and Ortega apologized to Jay Park for the incident. Ortega competes for the first time since UFC 231 in December when he came up short, losing to then-featherweight champion Max Holloway by fourth-round TKO to suffer the first defeat of his professional career....
