100th PGA Championship Begins, Raiders’ Carr Happy to Have Gruden as
Head Coach and Canadian Taylor Ruck Wins Gold Ahead of U.S. Star Ledecky
The 100th edition of the PGA Championship began
this morning at Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, MO. This is the final year
that it will be held in August as the fourth and last of the major
championships in professional golf, as starting next year it will be held in
the middle of May. Defending champion Justin Thomas is playing against the
likes of Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth,
Tiger Woods, who is eyeing his 15th major win as he continues a comeback year,
and more. At press time, round one sees Americans Rickie Fowler, Justin Thomas
and Stewart Cink at the top of the leaderboard with three under par each,
according to golfchannel.com.
ESPN reports
that Oakland Raiders’ quarterback Derek Carr is grateful to the organization
for getting Jon Gruden back as head coach. Carr, who finished tied for third in
2016’s NFL MVP voting, had a disappointing season last year as his QBR went
from 54.6 to 47.2. Carr says that Gruden coaching style did not exempt him from
scrutiny because of his star status.
"The way
he demands from me, he gets after me, just like he gets after everybody
else," Carr said. "If I screw up, he lets me know it, in front of
everybody. And it just makes an openness about our team... there's no secrets,
man. If I screwed it up, I screwed it up, no problem. But at the same time, he
is the same guy telling each and every one of his players -- you will catch him
just after practice, if you just watch him -- if he yelled at someone, he is
going to go grab them, 'Man, I love you, man, the reason I am getting after you
is because I see this and this in you,' and so anybody who has played for him,
anyone who knows him, they want to run through a brick wall for the guy."
Canadian
swimmer Taylor Ruck won gold and set a new meet record in the women’s 200-metre
freestyle in Tokyo on day one of the Pan Pacific Swimming Championships,
according to CBC Sports. The win was
an upset as Ruck beat out American favourite Katie Ledecky, who came third.
Ruck’s time of one minute 54.44 seconds also beat Ledecky’s previous record
from 2014 by 1.3 seconds. Ruck said her coach advised her to keep focused, so
as not to be put off by Ledecky’s formidable reputation.
"It's the
name, I guess, because she is the fastest woman on the planet in a lot of
races," said Ruck, who was born in Kelowna, B.C. "My coach kind of
saw that, so he told me to focus on my lane and my race."
