The 6-foot-7 Judge went back to the wall and jumped, a little to the right of the 408-foot sign in front of Monument Park.The ball hit the heel of Judge’s glove well above the fence and caromed softly back toward the warning track.

BRISBANE, Australia (AP) — Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau reckon they’ll have to tone down their big-hitting ways when LIV Golf makes its first appearance in Australia at the relatively short Grange Golf Club course beginning Friday in Adelaide.Both Johnson and DeChambeau said precision will be more important than distance on the par-72 course which measures 6,946 yards (6,351 meters). The Grange is one of several top courses — Royal Adelaide and Kooyonga included — in the South Australian state capital.“Shorter (hitting) players do have an advantage,” DeChambeau told Australian Associated Press. “I have to lay back a lot of the times, I can’t just blow it out there . . . it kind of puts me more in a box, which is fine. I’ve just got to have good wedging and putt it really well.”On the LIV Tour, Johnson’s average driving distance is 321.4 yards and DeChambeau’s is just 0.2 yards behind that.“A course like this . . . you have just got to hit it in the fairway,” John...

There were some cowbells at their home games at the Golden 1 Center for Games 1 and 2, though not nearly as many as during the heyday of the 2002 Western Conference Finals against the Lakers.Kings fans going to a watch party at the arena in Sacramento will be able to bring cowbells. ___AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/NBA ...

HELENA, Mont.

The caucus also misgendered Zephyr in the Tweet. “It is disheartening that the Montana Freedom Caucus would stoop so low as to misgender me in their letter, further demonstrating their disregard for the dignity and humanity of transgender individuals,” Zephyr said in a statement Wednesday. “Their...
