INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — IndyCar team owner Dale Coyne had a novel suggestion for his counterpart, Bobby Rahal, with their teams set for a Sunday shootout to determine the final three spots in the Indianapolis 500.“I told Bobby’s guys, ‘We should just go out and play nine holes and winner takes all,’” Coyne said.Each of their drivers will get four laps instead.Rahal, as much of a mainstay at Indianapolis Motor Speedway as the names Penske and Andretti, had his three full-time drivers — Jack Harvey, Christian Lundgaard and his son, Graham Rahal — among the four slowest cars during the first day of qualifying Saturday. Coyne had the other with rookie Sting Ray Robb, setting up their four-for-three spots last-chance runs at the field.One will miss the 33-car field in the May 28 Indianapolis 500. Their 2-hour window for putting together their best four-lap average, hoping to avoid the ignominy of missing out on “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing,” ran concurrently with the dash among th...

(AP) — Conditions are proving ideal at Oak Hill, with the early groups enjoying a relative birdie fest during the final round of the PGA Championship.Led by Cameron Smith and Adam Scott, who are both 4 under on the day, there are 19 competitors shooting under par on an East Course that allowed just nine scores at 69 or better on Saturday.

Published Wed, 26 Feb 2025 06:09:44 GMT

ROME (AP) — Daniil Medvedev hadn’t won a single match in his three previous appearances at the Italian Open.Now he’s won the tournament.The Russian beat rising 20-year-old Danish player Holger Rune 7-5, 7-5 on Sunday for the first clay-court trophy of a career that includes the 2021 U.S. Open title and a period at No. 1 in the rankings.Medvedev was previously known almost exclusively for his prowess on hard courts, with 18 of his previous 19 titles coming on that surface — the other was on grass in Mallorca. But he now must be considered a contender at the French Open — the clay-court Grand Slam — which starts next Sunday.There’s room for a new champion at Roland Garros after 14-time winner Rafael Nadal announced on Thursday that he won’t be competing in the tournament because of a lingering hip injury that has sidelined him since January.Rune, who eliminated six-time Rome champion Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals, should also leave the Foro Italico confident for Paris. He was al...
