MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Lewis Hamilton’s relationship with his new Ferrari team was pressure tested in Australia, where he finished a disappointing 10th on debut, and was frustrated by a bad strategy Sunday that cost him a potential victory, and constant radio chatter throughout the difficult race won by McLaren’s Lando Norris.
Hamilton started eighth, and spent the first third of it behind the rear wing of Williams’ Alex Albon.

Maybe Howe is bound to Newcastle United for the time being, as the leading English manager of his generation and one less decision that the admittedly restless Saudis have to make. So much would have to change, so much would need to align.

Last week, USA TODAY Sports Bracketology said Texas needed to make a run in the SEC Tournament to have a chance.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Bud Cauley was in The Players Championship field.
And then he was out.
Then on Monday, he got the call. Lee Hodges had withdrawn. He was back in.
Now, Cauley, a Palm Beach Gardens resident for the last decade, enters the final round of The Players in second place after shooting a 6-under 66. He is one shot out of the lead held by J.J. Spaun, who held onto the solo 54-hole lead with a 25-foot putt that rolled around the cup before dropping.
Spaun sits at 12-under. Cauley has a two-shot lead over Jupiter’s Lucas Glover and Alex Smalley.
