The Amgen Irish Open at Trump International Doonbeg has turned into a story of resilience and record-breaking golf. While the first round saw players battling wind and rain that made the course play brutally difficult, the second round brought a dramatic shift in fortune. Shane Lowry, the local favorite, didn't just survive the conditions; he absolutely dominated them. After airing his frustration with the slow pace caused by the weather in the opening round, Lowry produced a stunning performance to take the lead. Golf Monthly reports that Lowry shot a record-breaking 62 under much kinder conditions to take the lead at the midpoint. This score puts him two shots clear of the field and sets the stage for a thrilling weekend.
The contrast between the two rounds couldn't be starker. The first day was defined by struggle, with Golf Monthly noting that the brutal conditions contributed to slow play across the property. Players like Lowry had to wait for groups ahead, testing their patience. Yet, when the wind died down, Lowry found his rhythm. He isn't alone in the hunt, however. The chasing pack is packed with talent, including defending champion Rory McIlroy, two-time Major winner Jon Rahm, and Brooks Koepka, all of whom Golf Monthly confirmed will join Lowry in the third round. Joaquin Niemann, the first-round leader, also remains in contention to challenge the Irishman.
While Lowry's score grabs the headlines, the most compelling story of the week might be the rise of Niklas Nørgaard. The Danish golfer has moved into a tie for second place alongside Jacob Skov Olesen and Haotong Li after posting matching 64s, according to europeantour.com. This surge came from a fundamental change in how Nørgaard approached the game, not just better ball-striking. The pressure of competition often weighs heavy, but Nørgaard found a way to lighten the load. A shift in mindset this week earned praise for his caddie, as he disclosed that his coach is actually riding in the bag during this event.
Nørgaard explained his strategy directly to the media, and the result was immediate. Europeantour.com notes that Nørgaard received late applause from spectators after draining a vital putt on the 18th and finishing his round with a closing birdie to enter the chase. His back nine was a blur of birdies, specifically a burst from the 14th to 16th holes that propelled him up the leaderboard. You have to wonder if that mental shift is the only thing standing between him and a ***** le run, considering how tight the field really is.
Other players faced different challenges. Thomas Detry made an albatross at the par-5 10th in the opening round, a rare feat that should have boosted his day. However, he finished the first day with a 74 and ultimately missed the cut, according to Golf Monthly. On the other side of the field, David Puig struggled to find consistency. Following a 71 in the opening round that left him one over par, he posted the exact same score during the second rou

The opening round at the Irish Open delivered a brutal test of patience and precision. Trump International Golf Links & Hotel, Ireland, saw play slowed significantly across the field as strong winds dominated the conditions. Defending champion Rory McIlroy managed to stay in the hunt, carding a 1-under 69 despite a costly double bogey on the 13th hole. While he sits four shots behind the leader, his position remains viable heading into the second day. The defending champion knows the margin for error is slim when the elements turn hostile. He remains tied for 17th place, a spot that offers hope but demands immediate improvement to challenge for the **** le.
According to GolfMagic, Joaquin Niemann seized the early lead with a spectacular 5-under 65. The LIV Golf standout made his move with four consecutive birdies from the 14th to the 17th holes. His drive on the 14th landed a mere three feet from the cup, creating a simple birdie opportunity that propelled his charge. Niemann's sole mistake was a bogey on the 12th following a three-putt. When asked about the experience, he noted, "It was a lot of fun out there."It's a really tricky course and a really fun golf course to play, especially with the Irish weather, he also praised the layout, stating. Despite the pressure of chasing the leader, Niemann capitalized on the scoring opportunities while others struggled.
Rory McIlroy's round told a different story of resilience. His tee shot at the 13th rolled into a bunker, hit the lip, and came back into the sand. His second shot then hit below the lip, skipped out of the sand, and landed on the fairway, yet the damage was done with a double bogey. Playing alongside Brooks Koepka, who shot a 75 after a triple bogey start, McIlroy faced a difficult back nine. Koepka's struggles on the opening hole highlighted how the high grass and wind punished errant shots. Despite his own errors, McIlroy managed to finish under par. "I hung in there, shot under par, and at least don't feel like I'm out of the tournament," he admitted. He added, "A good day tomorrow gets me right back in it."
Shane Lowry provided a local perspective on the day's difficulty. According to ESPN, Lowry finished at 67 and remained bogey-free on the back nine. He was tied with Shaun Norris. Lowry faced the same darkness issues as others, noting, "I honestly didn't think we were going to get finished." That's probably the longest round of golf I ever played, in a three-ball, anyway. I'm happy with my score."I felt like I did a solid job of making pars and trying to get to the clubhouse as quick as I could," he explained his strategy, saying. Meanwhile, Adrian Meronk was at 3 under but unable to finish before darkness fell. Patrick Reed shot 68 in the challenging conditions.
The gap between McIlroy and Niemann is significant but not insurmountable. Four shots is a manageable deficit in a four-round event, provided the weather cooperates. McIlroy's ability to recover from the bunker disaster

ATLANTA (AP) — Drake Baldwin doubled to center field in the 11th inning to score Ha-Seong Kim from first base and the Atlanta Braves beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6-5 on Friday night in the opening game of a key NL East series.
The first-place Braves extended their lead over the Phillies to five games. The teams split a four-game series in Philadelphia that began last Friday.
Luis Arraez's single to left field off Didier Fuentes (7-2) in the 11th drove in designated runner Garrett Stubbs to give Philadelphia a 5-4 lead. Kim's single off Brooks Raley (5-6) in the bottom of the inning drove in Ozzie Albies to tie it. Baldwin followed with the winning double.
Phillies right-hander Jonathan Bowlan blew a 3-2 lead in the ninth. Bowlan gave up a one-out single to Mike Yastrzemski. Pinch-runner DaShawn Keirsey Jr., who was recalled before the game, scored from first on Sean Murphy's single up the middle and center fielder Derek Hill's fielding error.
Aaron Nola gave up homers to Matt Olson in the first and Austin Riley in the seventh. Braves left-hander Chris Sale allowed three runs on only three hits in seven innings but struggled with two outs in the second. Edmundo Sosa singled before Sale walked Bryan De La Cruz and hit J.T. Realmuto with a pitch to load the bases. Derek Hill doubled off the center-field wall to drive in three runs.

The Green Bay Packers are now preparing to move forward without knowing when Josh Jacobs might return. While MarShawn Lloyd is expected to handle the lead role in the backfield, Jacobs has entered a no contest plea to his misdemeanor charges. The NFL has also issued a disciplinary update, giving Green Bay a better idea of what could come next for its starting running back.
"With Josh Jacobs pleading no contest to misdemeanor charges of battery and criminal damage to property, the NFL said there is "no timetable" as to when he could be disciplined. A league official said: We have been closely monitoring all developments in the matter which remains under review of the personal conduct policy.
There is no change to his status as he remains on the Commissioner's Exempt list," ESPN's Adam Schefter wrote on his post on X (formerly Twitter).

Jacobs has been a productive part of the Packers offense over the past two seasons, scoring 28 touchdowns during that span. He totaled 929 rushing yards in 2025 while averaging 4.0 yards per carry. The seven year veteran now faces misdemeanor charges for battery and criminal damage to property, according to ESPN.
Green Bay will need to adjust its backfield if Jacobs remains unavailable, with Lloyd set to take over as the Packers' top running back. Chris Brooks will provide additional support behind him.

Saturday isn't just another game for the Oregon Ducks. A couple of milestones are attached as the boys in green and white travel down to Stillwater to face the Oklahoma State Cowboys.
For starters, Dan Lanning has something on the line this week against the Cowboys. With a victory, the Ducks' 40-year-old head coach will celebrate his 50th career win at Oregon, which would put him in an elite club in program history.
That milestone may not come with a banner or a trophy, but it puts him in rarefied air in Eugene; the last Oregon coach to cross 50 wins was Mike Bellotti, back in 2001, his seventh year at the helm.
Since Bellotti, coaches like Chip Kelly, Mark Helfrich, Willie Taggart, and Mario Cristobal have all fallen short of the mark that Lanning is about to hit in his fifth season. In Oregon history, only three other coaches have crossed the 50-win mark: Bellotti, Rich Brooks, and Len Casanova.
Chip Kelly notably had 46 wins in four seasons as the Ducks' head coach.

Eagles news: Jonathan Greenard sounds off on 'freak' pec injury, Week 1 status appeared first on ClutchPoints. Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Philadelphia Eagles expect Jonathan Greenard to be an important member of their pass-rushing attack this season, but they may want to exercise some caution in Week 1. The 29-year-old outside linebacker missed training camp with a pectoral injury and may not be ready for Sunday's home matchup versus the Washington Commanders. Greenard is grateful for the progress he is making, though.
"Eagles edge rusher Jonathan Greenard said he does not know if he will play Sunday ('That's up to (the coaches)')," Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reported on Thursday evening. "He called his pec injury 'one of them freak things' that happened while working out. 'Thank God I didn't need surgery. Obviously it's not 100 (percent), but in a pretty good spot, though, where I'm confident where I feel at.'"
If the 2024 Pro Bowl selection is going to face physical limitations right from the jump, head coach Nick Sirianni and the team medical staff could choose to keep him on the sidelines for the Washington game. Divisional battles can be tricky, particularly when they act as season openers, but the Eagles boast impressive balance on defense. At least on paper.

The Detroit Lions finally answered the Tom Kennedy roster question.
Detroit announced Thursday that it has signed Kennedy from the practice squad to the active roster and added defensive back Natrone Brooks to the practice squad. The Kennedy move fills the final opening on Detroit's 53-man roster just three days before the season opener against the New Orleans Saints.
This was the move Detroit had been telegraphing for most of the week. Kennedy was already expected to play Sunday, and special teams coordinator Dave Fipp confirmed Thursday that the veteran receiver will handle punt-return duties.
Detroit originally brought Kennedy back on the practice squad after final cuts, but leaving him there was increasingly looking temporary. He gives the Lions a fifth active receiver while solving their most obvious special-teams vacancy at the same time.
When Detroit opened two roster spots by waiving Seth McLaughlin and Jabari Small, Kennedy immediately moved to the front of the line.

This week's Irish Open marks the start of a strong slate of DP World Tour events that will see a large contingent of international LIV Golf players mix with some of their notable PGA Tour peers as the former await clarity on their league's future.
Jon Rahm will tee it up in Ireland alongside fellow LIV members Tyrrell Hatton, Joaquin Niemann, Sergio Garcia, Adrian Meronk, David Puig, Tom McKibbin, and Thomas Detry. PGA Tour players in the field include defending Irish Open champion Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka, Shane Lowry, Alex Fitzpatrick, and Patrick Reed, who has recently completed his one-year suspension from the PGA Tour for joining LIV in 2022.
Many of those LIV and PGA Tour players will also compete at next week's BMW PGA Championship, which is part of the DP World Tour's elevated Rolex Series and has a $9 million purse. The Irish Open, which begins Thursday, has a $6 million purse but still offers a key opportunity for LIV players to earn Official World Golf Ranking points as they remain banned from the PGA Tour amid LIV's uncertain future heading into 2027. The league laid off most of its staff last week and is still working on finalizing a new funding deal with BC Partners Credit, following the Saudi PIF's exit.
Rahm told BBC Sports on Tuesday that "time will tell" what happens regarding his playing future as he is "more than willing to fulfill" his LIV contract that has multiple years remaining reportedly still worth more than $100 million. PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp said last month that there are "no current plans" for another Returning Member Program like the one that brought Koepka back to the Tour in January—and was also available to Rahm and fellow LIV stars Bryson Dechambeau and Cam Smith.
While the DP World Tour will continue to provide vital playing opportunities for LIV players this fall, things could change next year. Nine LIV players, including Rahm, were granted conditional releases for the 2026 season that allowed them to retain the DP World Tour membership despite competing in some conflicting LIV events. But it is "highly unlikely" that those same conditional releases will be available in 2027, sources have previously told Front Office Sports.

White Sox manager Will Venable jokingly lamented on Saturday that it seems as though the Cleveland Guardians are always winning. True to form, they walked off the Detroit Tigers a couple of hours before first pitch between the Sox and Twins Sunday night. Winners of three out of four in Detroit, the Guardians are the biggest threat to Sox' hopes of winning the division at just 2.5 games back.
They'll face each other three times in Cleveland in a little over a week, but in the meantime, the White Sox have to make sure they're winning at least as often as the Guardians are.
The White Sox did just that against the Twins on Sunday, winning 10-1 while showcasing much of why they are the American League Central frontrunners and why they will be a dangerous team to face in the postseason. In a planned bullpen game, the group of Bryan Hudson, Jordan Hicks, Hagen Smith, Grant Taylor, and Tyler Davis combined to allow just one run while striking out 15 Minnesota batters and walking only one.
"The plan worked," Venable said. "Everyone did a great job. They came out, they executed, got the outs we needed. The line for the bullpen speaks for itself."
There was really only one hiccup, when Grant Taylor gave up a leadoff homer to Brooks Lee and then walked Ryan Jeffers in the seventh inning, but even he went on to **** ert his dominance. After those two batters, he retired the next three in the seventh and struck out the side in the eighth inning.

Is Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Byron Murphy II the gold standard at his position in the NFL?
Murphy emerged as a breakout star last season after recording seven sacks on the year, up from the 0.5 that he recorded the year prior, and helping the Seahawks win the Super Bowl at the end of the season. Murphy may not have been named an All-Pro in 2025, but he is not far off from reaching a level that few other defensive tackles in the league are at in 2026.
Fox Sports' Bucky Brooks named Murphy to his All-22 preseason dream team for the 2026 season, identifying him as one of the top two DTs slated to excel in the league.
"Murphy's activity and aggression force interior defenders to pay close attention to his whereabouts, particularly on pivotal downs where the Seahawks are known to crank up the pressure," Brooks said. "As an emerging standout coming off a season with seven sacks and 13 quarterback hits, the 6-foot-0, 306-pounder is ready to take his game up a notch as an All-Pro-caliber defender at the line."
Murphy is a defensive tackle to watch yet again in 2026. Another huge year-over-year jump from last season to the present one from Murphy will not come as a shocker. Over 10 sacks registered and additional contributions across the stats sheet make him a player with the potential to be one of the two best defensive tackles in the league when the season is said and done.

Lane Kiffin's first stadium entrance at LSU went about as we all expected.
Kiffin always finds a way to make himself the center of attention, and that wasn't too difficult with College GameDay in town and the eyes of the college football world descending on Baton Rouge for Saturday night's game against Clemson.
In classic Kiffin fashion, he was flanked by several celebrities from the state of Louisiana as he entered Tiger Stadium, including former LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne, comedian and podcaster Theo Von and model Brooks Nader. They likely won't be the only celebrities we see on the sideline Saturday night.
LSU signed up for a circus when it hired Kiffin, and they're certainly getting what they paid for. Kiffin's track record at Ole Miss speaks for itself, but he has also introduced plenty of potential distractions.
We'll see if the star-studded stadium entrance is just a corny moment before a big win or a sign of a lack of focus.

Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks remained out of practice on Wednesday, but head coach Dave Canales is unconcerned that Brooks' injury will keep him out of the season opener.
"I'm very optimistic he'll be available for Week 1," Canales said Wednesday, via ESPN's Mike Kaye.
Brooks is dealing with "soreness" Canales revealed Tuesday, but Canales would not specify the location of Brooks' discomfort.
Brooks has undergone back-to-back ACL surgeries on his right knee, but he participated in all of training camp and two preseason games this summer. He played 17 snaps in the preseason.
He tore his right ACL against the Eagles in December 2024, a season after tearing it while playing for the University of Texas. Brooks missed all of the 2025 season.

SOURCE: Mike Kaye - ESPN
Why It Matters: Brooks will not start this season but should still receive a solid role in the offense and can also be part of the passing game. He can be a No. 3 running back or flex option most weeks if he can stay healthy.

Kalen DeBoer has Alabama football's initial plan for the return game on both punts and kickoffs.
The Crimson Tide coach said Alabama plans to run "a combination of" wide receiver Ryan Coleman-Williams, running back Trae'Shawn Brown, defensive back Dijon Lee Jr. and wide receiver Rico Scott at kickoff and punt return in 2026.
"There's some other guys in our kickoff return that are back there that can rotate in as well, but those are the guys you want to have touching the football," DeBoer said on the SEC Football Coaches Media Teleconference Wednesday, Sept. 2.
Lee had two punt returns for 32 yards in 2025, while Scott had three kickoff returns for 35 yards.
Cole Adams, who transferred to Vanderbilt, was Alabama's leading punt returner in 2025. Lotzeir Brooks was Alabama's leading kickoff returner.

The Twins went with an opener tonight, Andrew Morris got the first inning with Connor Prielipp taking over from there. It worked out well, as you can see from the score in the ***** le, as the Tigers only managed one run in the first, with Prielipp shutting them out in his five innings tonight.
Kody Clemens wasted no time tying the game up with his 24th homer of the year, a solo shot to right in the bottom of the first inning.
Tigers' starter Troy Melton held the Twins in check until the fifth inning. A walk and a double put two in scoring position for Walker Jenkins. He grounded into the drawn-in infield, Trevor Larnach got into a run-down going home, and the catcher threw it into left field allowing 2 to score on the error. Luke Keaschall put the Twins up 4-1 with an RBI double, capping off a 3 run inning.
Then the Twins scored 10 in the 6th, starting with an out. It went something like this unreadable sentence:
Josh Bell single, Larnach hit by pitch, Royce Lewis three run homer, Kaelen Culpepper double, Walker Jenkins walk, Keaschall single, Brooks Lee sac-fly-RBI, Kody Clemens walk, Ryan Jeffers three run homer, Josh Bell walk, Trevor Larnach single, Royce Lewis single, Kaelen Culpepper 2 run single, and finally Jenkins grounded out to end the inning. That monster inning put the Twins up 14-1, which is a pretty comfortable place to be in a baseball game, I feel.

The Green Bay Packers' initial 53-man roster entering the 2026 season has been finalized, and it contains an oddity in that Green Bay opted to keep seven defensive tackles.
That is more than they have rostered in Brian Gutekunst's tenure as general manager and the most since 2013. It is a different world from where the Packers were a year ago, as the defensive tackle position looked thin entering the season and was decimated by the end of it.
The fact they have decided to keep so many this time around is perhaps a consequence of wanting to avoid such a situation again, but it is more so a testament to the work done to fortify the room this offseason, as well as some impressive growth by various preexisting players.
Javon Hargrave via free agency and Chris McClellan were the headline additions and along with Devonte Wyatt and Karl Brooks, made the position look stronger.
Beyond those four, no one else was certain of a roster spot entering training camp. In the end, so many other players impressed that the Packers had no choice but to keep seven.

PHOENIX (AP) — Bryson Stott hit a homer, Aaron Nola provided another solid start on the mound and the Philadelphia Phillies finished a torrid August with a 2-1 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday night.
The Phillies have won five straight, 14 of their past 16 and finished with a 21-7 record in August, which was the best mark in the big leagues. They're now just four games behind the Atlanta Braves in the NL East.
Stott crushed a 464-foot homer to right field in the second that gave the Phillies a 1-0 lead. Bryce Harper's double off the center field wall in the third scored Garrett Stubbs and pushed the advantage to 2-0.
Nola (6-10) pitched into the sixth inning, giving up one run on five hits and two walks, striking out five. The veteran right-hander has given up two runs or less in five straight starts.
Alex McFarlane, Orion Kerkering, Brooks Raley, Jose Alvarado and Jhoan Duran combined for four scoreless innings of relief. Duran earned his 29th save in 31 chances, stranding runners on first and third.

Luke Keaschall was a much-needed spark plug, Walker Jenkins doinked his first MLB homer off the right field pole, Jeffers added two bombs of his own, his first since the last day of July, and Taj Bradley delivered one of his best starts of the season when the Twins most needed it. It was a fun night at the ballpark when the Twins really needed a win!
Let's start on the offensive side. Facing Jackson Jobe, the former top pitching prospect in all of baseball, the Twins struck in the first inning, as they are wont to do of late, with a leadoff double from Keaschall eventually coming around on Kody Clemens sac fly. And then things went eerily quiet for Minnesota's hitters, also as they are wont to do of late.
They had chances to add on before the game exploded, but still didn't hit well with runners in scoring position despite the big number on the scoreboard. They went 2-9 with RISP against actual pitchers, with an added hit off of position player Zach McKinstry in the eighth to juice the stats. A leadoff double from Kaelen Culpepper in the third gave them a good run scoring opportunity, but a Jenkins pop out and Brooks Lee GIDP after a Keaschall single kept the game at 1-0 after three innings.
Clemens came back around and added a run on his own in the fourth inning, a no-doubt solo shot over the dock in right field to put the Twins up 2-0. They had another great opportunity to add on that inning with the bases loaded and just one out, but the rookies Culpepper and Jenkins both popped out to end the threat.
Then came the fifth inning when things finally broke open. Keaschall reached first base on an error by the Tigers' third baseman. Hao-Yu Lee couldn't get the grip on a soft grounder hit his way, trying to get it quickly to nab a hustling Keaschall. Keaschall then stole second easily off one of the best defensive catchers in baseball, Dillon Dingler. Keaschall had third easily in the same at-bat as well, but Clemens fouled off a pitch to send Luke back to second. Clemens eventually walked before Ryan Jeffers hit a three run blast to give the Twins their first comfortable lead of the night.

The Atlanta Falcons are waiving defensive end Zach Harrison from their 53-man roster. The move comes as a major surprise since Harrison was a projected starter on the team's revamped defensive front.
Harrison, a former third-round pick from the 2023 NFL Draft, has appeared in 40 games (8 starts) over three seasons, recording 81 tackles (33 solo), 8.5 sacks and 11 QB hits. The Falcons have also waived defensive backs Natrone Brooks and Jammie Robinson from the 53-man roster.
These moves free up enough spots for the team's three Monday waiver additions. Atlanta claimed linebacker Yasir Abdullah, LB Jared Ivey and offensive tackle Cameron Williams off of waivers from the Jaguars, Seahawks and Philadelphia Eagles.

Brooks Koepka's first season back on the PGA Tour has turned into something of an anticlimax, with the five-time major champion's year described as the biggest disappointment.
Koepka was one of the game's most talked-about players heading into 2026. The 36-year-old became the first big name to walk away from LIV Golf at the end of last season.
The PGA Tour created a pathway for Koepka to make an immediate return under certain conditions, including that he would have to earn his way into signature events as he could not be invited.
Many would have been forgiven for ****** uming that it was a matter of time before a player of Brooks Koepka's calibre was able to force his way into the signature events.
However, that did not materialise this year.

Amid the chaos of final cuts, the Cincinnati Bengals figure to keep an eye on players shaking loose via league-wide cuts.
Zac Taylor and the Bengals, after all, have plenty of needs remaining on the roster, no matter what the "final" 53 looks like.
Spots like third running back and offensive tackle depth come to mind as potential depth issues. With trades, free agency and the waiver wire available to the Bengals, the front office figures to link with the coaching staff and review those options in the coming days and weeks.
Zooming out, the following early release players from other teams might interest the Bengals.
The situation behind Chase Brown and Samaje Perine hasn't been all that encouraging this offseason. If the Bengals see a veteran option that might be an upgrade over Tahj Brooks, they might just take it. Hassan Haskins, 26, is a former fourth-round pick with some versatility to his game and plenty of experience as a thirdish back in a rotation.

Derrick Brooks was in the twilight of his decorated football career when making a promise to his mother that remains part of his philanthropic efforts.
Geraldine Mitchell was only 52 in 2007 when breast cancer took her life. At that time, Brooks, a Booker T. Washington High and Florida State graduate, had established himself as one of the greatest linebackers in the NFL history during a 14-year career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
It led to his 2014 enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame at Canton, Ohio.
"My mother passed 20 years ago, but she had told me to never forget where I came from, never forget where I grew up and continue to help others in Pensacola," said Brooks, prior to hosting the sixth annual Derrick Brooks Celebrity Classic golf event on Aug. 17 at Pensacola Country Club.
He continues to expand that reach.
