MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — The final round of the Presidents Cup began with words from the captains, not singles matches. The International team took its first lead into Sunday singles since 2003, all because of two foursomes matches in which the players never led at any point until scratching out a half-point. That gave the Internationals a 10-8 lead and needing six points from 12 singles matches to win the Presidents Cup for only the second time in the event's 25-year history, and not since Royal Melbourne in 1998. “For us to scratch and scramble for one point, the guys were very excited about that,” International captain Ernie Els said. Marc Leishman and rookie Abraham Ancer were 5 down with eight holes to play. The rookie duo of Joaquin Niemann and Byeong Hun An were 2 down with five to play. Both rallied to halve their matches. U.S. captain Tiger Woods — and that's all he was on Saturday, a captain — saw it differently. Woods looked back to Friday, … [Read more...] about International have best shot at rare win in Presidents Cup

This Heated Jacket Is The Best Thing You’ll Buy All Winter
We used to bundle up in multiple layers of shirts and jackets to keep warm in the winter. The only problem with this was that when the temperature warmed up or we stepped out of the cold, we had to take off our bulky jacket ASAP or we'd overheat and end up drenched in sweat... Now, though, we wear a heated jacket from ORORO, and keeping warm and comfortable has never been easier. It heats up in seconds and offers three levels of warmth with the press of a button. It provides heat across core body areas (left chest, right chest and mid-back) for up to 10 working hours. And when you're indoors or in more moderate temperatures, you can turn the heat off with the touch of a button so you don't overheat. The ORORO heated jacket features a soft shell fabric exterior that's both water and wind resistant. It has an interior fleece lining the keeps heat in, and it comes with a detachable hood for extra protection. There's even a USB port on the battery so you can charge your phone in your … [Read more...] about This Heated Jacket Is The Best Thing You’ll Buy All Winter
From Nick Foles Leading Eagles To Super Bowl To Gritty’s Debut, Here Are Most Memorable Philadelphia Sports Moments Of Past Decade
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — A backup quarterback became a legend and brought the city its first-ever Super Bowl championship; we trusted the process; we survived the Chip Kelly era; a former National League East rival endeared himself to the City of Brotherly Love; and a big orange mascot became a global phenomenon. Here are the most memorable Philadelphia sports moments of the decade. Finally! The Eagles Win The Super Bowl Feb. 4, 2018, will be a moment us Eagles fans will never forget. That day, an underdog Eagles team led by backup quarterback Nick Foles toppled the G.O.A.T. Tom Brady and the New England Patriots, 41-33, in Super Bowl 52. It was an epic Rocky story. Quarterback Carson Wentz was having an MVP-type season in 2017 before going down with a torn ACL in a win against the Los Angeles Rams. In stepped Foles for the final three regular-season games, but he didn’t light it up right away, until his memorable playoff run which culminated in a Super Bowl MVP. Four days … [Read more...] about From Nick Foles Leading Eagles To Super Bowl To Gritty’s Debut, Here Are Most Memorable Philadelphia Sports Moments Of Past Decade
Villanova Cancels Classes Tuesday After Winning Second National Title In Three Years
By Joseph Santoliquito PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — The long outstretched left hand was too late by the time Donte DiVincenzo flicked the ball high into the Alamodome lights. DiVincenzo’s three-point bucket that pretty much threw down the gauntlet on Michigan was topped with a wink in his right eye as the Villanova sophomore ran back up the court—as if to say he knew it would go in all along. There was some doubt for about the first 11 minutes of the NCAA championship game Monday night in San Antonio, Texas. It was about that time when Villanova collectively had enough with Michigan in the NCAA championship. The Wildcats have beaten teams by various ways in the NCAA Tournament, using defense to beat Texas Tech, then raining a record number of three-pointers down on Kansas. In the championship game, the Wildcats found a fine blend of both, topped by a great injection of super sub DiVincenzo, to win its second national championship in three years, beating Michigan easily, … [Read more...] about Villanova Cancels Classes Tuesday After Winning Second National Title In Three Years
