Mickelson won the tournament after finishing at 19-under-par. LOS ANGELES >> Golf Channel is interested in live programming from Monday to Wednesday, and the answer might be found in college tournaments. It is adding another prestigious event this year, and more could be on the way. “We’re trying to grow appropriately,” Tom Knapp, executive vice president of programming and partnerships, said last week at Pebble Beach when Golf Channel announced plans to televise the Western Intercollegiate. “Somewhere in the 10-to-12 range feels right as a long-term goal.” Golf Channel already has the East Lake Cup in the fall, along with the NCAA men’s and women’s championships in May, which has made for … [Read more...] about Golf Channel adding live college event, looking for more

Who doesn't love a high-paying dividend stock in their retirement portfolio? In telecom players like Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ) and Frontier Communications (NASDAQ: FTR) , we can nab shares yielding 4.4% and 10.1%, respectively. With payouts like that, what's not to like? Actually, there are some major differences between the two. If we break them down to see which is the smarter investment, the answer becomes pretty obvious. Financial fortitude Telecoms are a different beast than most investments. Because there are enormous up-front investments that companies need to make to build out their network and infrastructure, debt loads are usually very high. Because of … [Read more...] about CL NOW!

Charley Walters: Adam Thielen shares bond with Cordarrelle ‘Flash’ Patterson
At the Vikings’ Eagan facility, Kirk Cousins has his locker next to Adam Thielen, who broke into the NFL with the Vikings six years ago with fellow wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson. “I heard they were inseparable their rookie year,” Cousins, the Vikings’ QB, said overhearing a conversation about Thielen and Patterson last week. The topic was Patterson’s notable resurgence with the New England Patriots, who host the Vikings on Sunday afternoon. Thielen, likely headed to another Pro Bowl, roomed with Patterson with the Vikings. He said he’s not at all surprised that Patterson has played a significant role in the Patriots’ 8-3 record. “He’s my guy,” Thielen said. “He was that type of player when he was (in Minnesota).” In 11 games with the Patriots this season, Patterson, 27, has 13 receptions for 120 yards (9.2 average) and two touchdowns. He also has rushed … [Read more...] about Charley Walters: Adam Thielen shares bond with Cordarrelle ‘Flash’ Patterson
Wrong Tommy Fleetwood gets British Open payout of $154,000; he does self-report the error
A.J. Perez USA TODAY Published 11:51 p.m. UTC Aug 8, 2018 Tommy Fleetwood received more than $154,000 in his bank account, not a shocker since it matched the winnings for his British Open purse. The problem: It went to the wrong Tommy Fleetwood. The money went into the account of Orlando-area golfing pro Tommy Fleetwood, a six-figure sum that he told USA TODAY Sports popped up in his account late last week. "I didn't know at first where the money came from because it just appeared as a wire transfer," said the Fleetwood who wasn't a runner-up at this year's U.S. Open. "When it (fully) got posted to my account, that's when it said European PGA Tour. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out whose money it really was." Greg Thorner, one of Florida pro Tommy Fleetwood's friends, posted a picture of a Wells Fargo account summary to his Twitter account Wednesday. “I told him he should keep it,” Thorner, a golf school owner, told USA TODAY Sports. … [Read more...] about Wrong Tommy Fleetwood gets British Open payout of $154,000; he does self-report the error
Thursday’s golf roundup: Poulter off to good start at Bridgestone
AKRON, Ohio — Ian Poulter was annoyed upon realizing he had never finished better than 13th at Firestone, so he took a step toward doing something about it Thursday with an 8-under 62 and a one-shot lead in the Bridgestone Invitational. Tiger Woods found himself fighting his swing. He settled for a 66. Tiger Woods had a frustrating opening round at the Bridgestone Invitational in Akron, Ohio, on Thursday but still fought back to shoot a 66 and is four strokes back of the lead. Associated Press/David Dermer Search photos available for purchase: Photo Store → Such was the difference of two players with vastly different memories on the stout South course at Firestone. Woods is an eight-time winner, already a PGA Tour record for most victories on one course. Back at this World Golf Championship for the first time in four years, he made a 50-foot birdie putt and two other long putts to offset some average iron play. It was his best opening round of the year, and he … [Read more...] about Thursday’s golf roundup: Poulter off to good start at Bridgestone
