Woodland Leads
First Round at PGA Championship, NFL Players Kneel - President and League
Respond, Both Koreas to Work Together for Asian Games and Coyotes Sign Dvorak
to 6 Year Extension
Round
one of the 100th PGA Championship at Bellerive saw Gary Woodland finish first
with 64. Inside the top three were Rickie Fowler, with fiver under par, and
Zach Johnson, with three under, according to Golfworld. At
press time, the leaderboard on golfchannel.com shows
three Americans, Gary Woodland and Kevin Kisner, each with nine under, and
Brooks Koepka with seven under making up the top three overall.
During
yesterday’s NFL preseason games some players chose to kneel, raise a fist or go
to the locker room during the playing of the national anthem, according to ABC. This
prompted a Twitter
response from President Trump as well as a statement from the league outlining
their current decision to delay discipline for breaking the national anthem
policy:
"The NFL has been engaged in
constructive discussions with the NFL Players Association regarding the anthem
and issues of equality and social justice that are of concern to many
Americans. While those discussions continue, the NFL has agreed to delay
implementing or enforcing any club work rules that could result in players
being disciplined for their conduct during the performance of the anthem.”
North and South Korea will march together
in the Asian Games opening ceremony in Indonesia, according to the Associated Press. The two countries will also combine
athletic talent in their joint basketball, canoeing and rowing teams. Kim
Seong-jo, vice chairman of South Korea’s Olympic committee, outlined the
importance of sports in bringing the two estranged countries together.
“Sports have played the role of
peacemaker between the Koreas. If the combined teams put out good performances
and win medals, that would be putting the cherry on the top.”
ESPN reports that the Arizona Coyotes have signed 22-year-old
forward Christian Dvorak to a six-year extension. Dvorak, who earned a
career-high 37 points last season, will make an annual average of $4.45 million
under the new contract.
"I am very happy to sign a long-term
contract with the Coyotes," Dvorak said in a statement. "We have a
great young team with a bright future and I love living and playing in the
Valley. I'm excited to be a Coyote for the next seven years."
