The best female players in the world have descended upon Lancaster Country Club for the U.S. Women’s Open as the LPGA gears up to crown another major winner.
Coined the toughest test in women’s golf, these ladies are excited, including young phenom Rose Zhang.
“I love it here,” Zhang said on Wednesday.
“The course is playing difficult.

Last week’s news in college football was big, but vague. The House v. NCAA settlement is significant and expensive—and also lacking in the details that are necessary to understanding its full ramifications. Nobody knows yet how it’s going to work.
That renders moot most of the big-picture questions lobbed at Southeastern Conference commissioner Greg Sankey at the league’s spring meetings in Destin, Fla. The settlement isn’t fully settled. And with an unsettled settlement, concrete information and tangible answers are in short supply.

The Washington Wizards announced on Wednesday that Brian Keefe, who acted as interim coach since January, will officially be the team’s new head coach.
Keefe took over after coach Wes Unseld Jr. was fired in January. Keefe led the Wizards to an 8–31 record after that.
“We are excited for Brian to become our next head coach. Brian is a proven motivator and connector of people,” Wizards general manager Will Dawkins said in a press release. “As a leader in the organization, he will continue to positively grow and invest into the development of our players.

Former NFLer Jason Kelce and his wife Kylie are so beloved by the general public that they received an apology from the mayor of New Jersey after a rabid fan inconvenienced them during a date night. 
The Kelces were out in Margate when a female fan asked them for a photo op. The fan was rejected, prompting her to confront Kylie Kelce and spew vicious words at the couple. 
“I don’t give a f**k who you are, you’ll never be allowed in this town again!” the fan threateningly shouted at Kylie.

Two misdemeanor warrants have been filed against Chiefs defensive lineman Isaiah Buggs in Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, for cruelty to dogs in the second degree.

World No. 1 Nelly Korda arrives at Lancaster Country Club, having won six of her last seven LPGA events.
Nelly Korda arrives in Central Pennsylvania with a massive spotlight shining brightly on her.
She has won six of her last seven events, and a win at the U.S. Women’s Open this week would mark her third career major title and second of the season.
“I’ve definitely played some really solid golf,” Korda admitted.
Indeed, she has.

As you may know, the Monaco Grand Prix got off to a wild start with three separate incidents happening before the first lap was even half over. The last of these — Alpine’s Esteban Ocon‘s ill-advised attempt to dive bomb his teammate Pierre Gasly at Portier — has proven to be perhaps the most controversial, and there are even rumblings that the team might sideline Ocon for the next race in Canada.
And that might actually be a good idea.
The two battled throughout the first few corners of the race, but it came to a head with Ocon’s lunge just before the tunnel.

Next season could be the final year for “Inside the NBA,” the universally acclaimed, Emmy-award-winning studio program on TNT. The NBA is close to completing rights deals with Disney, Amazon, and Comcast – leaving TNT parent company Warner Bros. Discovery out of the mix. 
Granted, the deals are not yet finalized and reports say TNT could reportedly threaten legal action over a much-disputed matching clause. 
Nonetheless, “Inside the NBA” star Charles Barkley is already planning — and speaking about – life after TNT.

There’s a bizarre situation unfolding in Tuscaloosa, Ala., surrounding Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Isaiah Buggs. Buggs is accused of two misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty, but he says that police are targeting and harassing him because of a hookah business he owns in town. 
According to the Tuscaloosa Patch, which acquired civil court documents, “on March 28, the Tuscaloosa Police Department received information of two dogs being left on the back porch of 5153 Diamond Circle.” 
It was determined that it was the residence rented by Buggs.

Last month, a United States Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a West Virginia law that bars biological boys from competing on girls’ sports teams cannot be enforced with regard to a 13-year-old who competes on the girls’ track and field team at the athlete’s middle school.
The athlete was allowed to continue competing following the ruling, and five girls from an opposing school “stepped out” of the ensuing track meet to protest the inclusion of that athlete – a meet in which the transgender athlete won the shot put event.
