KAPALUA, Hawaii (AP) — Not to be forgotten is the putt heard ’round the Great White North.

What got equal attention, at least in the immediate aftermath, was Adam Hadwin getting tackled by a security guard as he rushed onto the 18th green at Oakdale to celebrate with his Canadian friend.But there was Fleetwood, who had every reason to be crushed at a fifth runner-up finish, showing genuine happiness for Taylor.“It was cool for them. It was cool for the country, wasn’t it?” Fleetwood said this week at The Sentry, his first trip to Kapalua for the season opener.“I don’t like losing.

Salah quick return to Liverpool from Africa Cup unlikely. But Klopp still hopes for Egypt early exit

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Jurgen Klopp has wished Mohamed Salah good luck — sort of — for the Africa Cup of Nations tournament.Liverpool’s top scorer this season could be absent for more than a month depending on how Egypt performs in the Ivory Coast.If Egypt reaches the final — like it did in 2022 — it would mean Salah missing at least seven Liverpool games, potentially eight if the Merseyside club gets past Arsenal on Sunday in the third round of the FA Cup.Defensive midfielder Wataru Endo will also be out of the lineup for the Premier League leader while on international duty for Japan at the Asian Cup.“I said ‘If I wish you good luck it would be a lie,’” the Liverpool manager joked Friday. “No, I do, obviously. From a personal point of view, I would be overly happy if they go out of the group stage. But it’s probably not possible, so it’s fine and then they can go and win it as well. Good luck, see you, and come back healthy — that’s pretty much the words.”Live...
