Watch: Joel Dahmen makes first career hole-in-one on PGA Tour

Thursday provided some promise, however, when he recorded his first career hole-in-one on the PGA Tour. Beginning on the back nine at the Charles Schwab Challenge, Dahmen reeled in a 7-iron from 186 yards.

Bills' James Cook firm on contract demands at training camp: 'I deserve what I want'
James Cook may be present at Buffalo Bills training camp this week, but he won't be backing down when it comes to contract negotiations with the franchise. Cook, the NFL's leader in rushing touchdowns last season, made his stance clear after participating in the first two days of camp. "We have talks," he said, via ESPN. "I mean, I deserve what I want, I need, and it's going to eventually happen." Reporters followed up, asking Cook if he feels confident the Bills will meet his contract extension demands. "I mean, however it happens, it's going to get done. Wherever it happens at," he said. The 25-year-old doesn't lack confidence, and that was seen this offseason when he went live on Instagram with a caption of "15 mill [per] year." If that is the case, Cook would be tied with Baltimore Ravens veteran Derrick Henry for the third-highest average annual value at the running back position in the NFL. Cook has posted previously on social media about his contract situation, and he noted Thursday he has no regrets about going public with how he feels. Bills GM Brandon Beane discussed Cook's situation with reporters at the start of training camp. "Sometimes you can't get on the same page, or sometimes you're trying to fit it in," Beane explained, per ESPN. "There's times guys have left here that we really wanted. We just couldn't make it work. But I can tell you, I'm hopeful, when we're sitting here at next year's training camp that James Cook is out there practicing and still representing the red, white and blue." Cook has one more year left on his rookie deal with the Bills, which took him in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft out of Georgia. If Cook and the Bills can't reach an extension by next season, he would be a free agent unless the team decides to slap its franchise tag on him. Unlike other players, past and present, Cook was participating in the Bills' mandatory offseason practices while his contract negotiations were ongoing. "It's my job," he said about reporting. "I got to participate so I won't get fined and just come out here and just show them that I'm ready to go and earn what I got to go get." Cook called the Bills a "great organization" and one he wants to continue playing for. But he's made it clear where he stands, and it doesn't seem like he's willing to leave any money on the table. To go along with his 16 rushing touchdowns last season, Cook rushed for 1,009, his second straight year cracking the 1,000-yard mark after totaling 1,122 in a breakout 2023 campaign. While it's clear Cook is the lead running back on the depth chart, Ray Davis and Ty Johnson do spell him for snaps and have showcased abilities to help the Bills' dynamic offense get down the field and into the end zone. Cook played just 48% of offensive snaps over his 16 Bills games last season.

Steelers' Aaron Rodgers says the quiet part out loud about interception at training camp
Aaron Rodgers is dominating headlines at Steelers training camp — but not in the way fans would hope. At Thursday's training camp, the noise surrounding Rodgers' interception on the opening throw of team drills was deafening — but the four-time MVP wasn't worried, downplaying the pick to two-time Pro Bowl LB Patrick Queen. "Man, it's good to get that out the way," Rodgers said, via ESPN's Brooke Pryor. "Anybody that's watched me practice over the years, you'd like to try certain throws at certain times. Anybody that's watched me in games knows I've been pretty stellar at taking care of the football over the years." While the first training camp practice didn't go his way, Rodgers' ball security over his 20-year career is no joke — boasting six entries among the top 15 single-season TD-to-INT ratios in NFL history. Rodgers will undoubtedly look to shift the narrative as training camp continues — starting with Friday's practice and a fresh set of reps.

Tour de France announces route change to Stage 19 to avoid herd of diseased cows
The Tour de France is taking a short detour on Friday, as the competition enters its third to last day. In an unusual move, the organization announced Thursday that the route for Friday's Stage 19 will follow an altered route in order to avoid a herd of diseased cattle. The Tour de France clarified in the announcement that as a result of the illness (an outbreak of contagious nodular dermatitis), the farmers will have to cull the herd to stop the spread of disease. The choice to move the route is done both to help the race move more smoothly and also, per the Tour, "in light of the distress experienced by the affected farmers." The herd is located in the Col des Saisies, a mountain pass that is normally part of the route from Albertville to La Plagne, two mountain towns in western France. Stage 19 is the sixth and final mountain stage of the 23-day race. The changed route, which bypasses the Col des Saisies, shortens the route significantly, from 129.9 kilometers to 95 kilometers. Cyclists will still start in Albertville, and will travel seven kilometers before peeling off to rejoin the original route near Beaufort. The race will begin at 2:30 p.m. local time, one hour later than originally scheduled. Stage 18, another mountainous stage in the French Alps, took riders from Vif to Courchevel on Thursdays. Australian Ben O'Connor finished first in Thursday with a time of 05:03:47. After 18 stages, Slovenian rider Tadej Pogacar currently leads all riders with a time of 66:55:42. After Friday's shortened Stage 19, the race will take two more stages. First, Stage 20 will take riders from Nantua to Pontarlier in a hilly race. Then, on Sunday, the cyclists will conclude with a flat race from Mantes-La-Ville to Paris, with the iconic ending at the Champs-Élysées.
