Lynx, Reeve energized around new star duo of Napheesa Collier and Diamond Miller

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:08:53 GMT

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Lynx tried a stopgap approach to filling the void from the disassembly of their four-championship dynasty, a patchwork process that worked all right until a collapse last season left them out of the playoffs and produced the worst record in 13 seasons under head coach Cheryl Reeve.The time for a clear new direction has come, with Napheesa Collier and Diamond Miller leading the way.Collier’s return and Miller’s arrival have sparked a freshness around one of the WNBA’s model franchises and left Reeve feeling “energized and enthused” by her first training camp without anyone from the last title-winning team in 2017. The Lynx open the season on Friday against Chicago.“As ‘Phee’ grows in her skillset and Diamond improves in her skillset, yeah, that’s a pretty good combination,” Reeve said.Collier accelerated her maternity leave last year to play one last time next to Sylvia Fowles, coming back for the final four games. The Lynx use...

Rory McIlroy’s 36-foot, par-saving putt triggers 1st-round turnaround at Oak Hill

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:08:53 GMT

PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) — For much of Thursday morning and into the early afternoon, it sure appeared as if Rory McIlroy’s early exit struggles at the Masters last month were carrying over into the PGA Championship.And then, suddenly, everything changed.McIlroy’s desperation 36-foot putt for par from the fringe early on his back nine went up a hill, caught the right lip of the hole and dropped to raise both a loud cheer from the gallery and McIlroy’s spirits.By avoiding the prospect of falling to 4 over through the second hole — his 11th hole — McIlroy rallied to finish the opening round at 1-over 71, staying in the mix at Oak Hill.“It was massive. I was just hoping to get down in two and make bogey,” McIlroy said. “Depending on what happens over the next three days and what I go on to do, you know, I may look back at that shot as being the sort of turning point of the week.”At the very least, the two-time PGA Championship winner has given himself a chance to continue competing on a co...

Voter ID bill facing Republican infighting advances out of committee

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 08:08:53 GMT

A legislative committee has finally advanced a bill to comply with a voter ID requirement approved by Nebraska voters last November, but with infighting among Republicans, it’s unclear whether lawmakers have time to pass the bill before the session ends early next month.The bill, introduced by Republican Sen. Julie Slama, was advanced from the Government, Military and Veterans Affairs Committee on Wednesday after being amended to focus on photo IDs. Slama had sought more far-reaching requirements, including verification of voters’ citizenship, notarization of mail-in ballots and audits of witness signatures for mail-in ballots.The amended version would allow a wide array of photo identification voters could present at the polls, such as passports, driver’s licenses, military and tribal IDs and Nebraska college IDs. Even expired IDs would be allowed as long as they have the voter’s name and photo. Residents of hospitals, nursing homes and assisted living centers wou...
