Harrington rides his luck with Aussies in hot pursuit
Padraig Harrington is the player to catch at the Senior British Open with a posse of Australians chasing and in contention midway through the tournament at Sunningdale. The Irishman shot a five-under-par 65 to be eight-under for a one-stroke lead over a hard-charging Thomas Bjorn and defending champion KJ Choi. Short game skills on display in Sunningdale 🫢@KJChoi_Golf and @Padraig_H both found the green after starting in the trees at No. 17 at the ISPS Handa Senior Open. 📺 Watch live now on Golf Channel. — PGA TOUR Champions (@ChampionsTour) July 25, 2025 The Dane shot a sterling seven-under 63 to catapult into contention, while Choi posted a 67. Australian Cameron Percy fired a five-under (65) to be on the next line with Justin Leonard (65), South African Ernie Els (67) and Ricardo Gonzalez of Argentina (67) at six under par. Percy eagled the par-five first on Friday before bookending a birdie at the third with bogeys on holes two and four. But he finished well with four more birdies to remain firmly in the mix. Steve Allan (67) is the next highest-placed Australian at five under, one ahead of compatriot Mark Hensby, who followed his 64 with a 72 to fall down the leaderboard at four under. Compatriot Greg Chalmers (66) is with Hensby with another six others in tied 10th at four under. Victorian Richard Green (69) and Queenslander Michael Wright (65) are a shot further back, tied 18th and five behind the lead. After his opening 63 for the overnight lead, New Zealander Steven Alker made a 73 to drop back to four under. Harrington had five birdies, including at the first and last holes, while keeping his scorecard clean of bogeys. Harrington is trying to become the fifth player to win the British Open and the Senior British Open. "I rode my luck a lot today," Harrington said. "Got my head in the game. Did a lot of good stuff mentally. Short game was sharp." "Hit some recovery shots and managed my game, but I never showed much confidence out there at all in my swing. I obviously like these 72-hole ones, and the bigger golf courses suit me." The Senior British Open is the fifth major on the PGA Tour Champions. The regular tournaments are 54 holes. Harrington won the US Senior Open at The Broadmoor in Colorado. The Irishman has already collected two other senior major titles - the 2022 and 2025 US Senior Opens. Bjorn admitted he was "very angry" with himself over a ho-hum first round, which ended with a double bogey. Choi could have been higher up the leaderboard if not for consecutive bogeys at Nos. 16-17 taking him down a few pegs. with AP

Rock Hill High School football team gives back with free youth camp
The Rock Hill High School football team is hosting a free youth camp Saturday, aimed at giving back to the community and fostering a positive culture within the team. Rock Hill High School names new head football coach The camp will take place near District 3 Stadium and is open to more than 100 elementary and middle school kids interested in playing football. This initiative comes after the team faced culture concerns last year, leading to the appointment of a new head coach, Leon Boulware. 'The culture has changed and shifted. The kids are working really hard for it,' said Boulware. He's been helping the teens unite after parents complained about the program and the culture. 'I noticed the kids didn't know each other well, so I took them to the team camp for three days and got away from Rock Hill,' the coach said. The team has a new bond and is giving back Saturday with a free football camp for more than 100 elementary and middle school kids who want to play football. 'These camps are expensive it costs a lot of money and parents don't have money to send kids to these camps,' said parent Brad Basselman. 'On my staff alone, I have three former NFL players,' Boulware said. 'It's important to see they're right here in this area they came from the same background.' The team is expecting changes on the field. 'The goal is to always win,' Boulware said. 'We are going to take it one week at a time.' The camp will be held between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m. before it gets too hot.

Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Toronto Argonauts both look to snap their losing ways
TORONTO - Home field hasn't been an advantage this season, but there's something about hosting the Winnipeg Blue Bombers that agrees with Derek Parish and the Toronto Argonauts. Winnipeg (3-2) visits Toronto (1-5) on Saturday night. The Argos are 0-3 at BMO Field but have won three of their last four home games versus the Blue Bombers. Toronto swept the 2024 season series 2-0 by a combined five points before downing Winnipeg 41-24 in the Grey Cup. 'We're starving for that (home win)' said Parish, Toronto's second-year defensive lineman. 'We're checking alleyways and dumpsters. 'We're hungry, we want that.' Toronto had excelled the previous two seasons at BMO Field, compiling a combined 16-2 record there. And the Argos entered '25 a stellar 27-7 at home under head coach Ryan Dinwiddie, in his fifth season at the helm. 'We've got to protect our house and play better at home,' Dinwiddie said. 'That's been a very positive thing for us in years past but this year we've obviously not won at home. 'I don't think it's a lack of focus by any means … we just haven't been playing good enough football on the road or at home.' Toronto has dropped its last two games, including a heartbreaking 26-25 decision last week in Montreal. The Argos led 25-7 in the second half before quarterback Davis Alexander capped the Alouettes' rally with the game-winning 10-yard touchdown run. 'Obviously it stung, it's a tough pill to swallow and you can't run from it,' Dinwiddie said. 'We came in here, looked at the film and learned from it. 'It's one of those losses that could really jeopardize the rest of your season emotionally but I think our guys understood we did play a little bit better (but) not well enough to win the football game.' Winnipeg has also lost two straight, both to Calgary. The Stampeders handed the Bombers their first loss of the season 37-16 on July 3, then won the rematch 41-20 last week at Princess Auto Stadium. It's the first time since '14 that Winnipeg has registered consecutive losses by 20-plus points. Winnipeg starting quarterback Zach Collaros left that game with a first-half neck injury. But the 36-year-old American was a full participant in practice this week and will play Saturday. Collaros, twice the CFL's outstanding player who has led Winnipeg to five straight Grey Cup appearances (winning in 2019 and '21) says he's fine. 'I've felt much better as week has gone on,' he said. 'I took a good shot there and had some lingering affects but from that day to now I feel the same as I did going into that game.' But this will mark the first time since '98 that Toronto and Winnipeg will square off with each team having lost two straight games, a span of 9,765 days. Winnipeg boasts the CFL's second-ranked rushing game (123.8 yards per game), hardly surprising with Brady Oliveira — the CFL's top player and outstanding Canadian last season — in the backfield. Toronto's defence stands seventh against the run (118 yards per game). Winnipeg is fourth in net offensive yards (385.8) and fifth in offensive points scored (25.4). Conversely, Toronto is sixth in fewest offensive yards allowed (373.3) and eighth in offensive points surrendered (27.5) while having surrendered a CFL-high 18 offensive TDs. But Toronto's defence is second overall in sacks (14) with Andrew Chatfield Jr. having a league-high five. Winnipeg also leads the CFL in red-zone TDs (79 per cent) despite being eighth in red-zone plays (23). 'I don't know what the numbers are, honestly to tell you the truth, but I know we're productive down there,' said Winnipeg head coach Mike O'Shea. 'I don't think it's a heightened sense of awareness or anything like that. 'I just think it's pretty good execution. Now, what you need is better execution on the other parts of the field to allow us to get there more often.' Following the two Calgary losses, Winnipeg defensive lineman Willie Jefferson said the Bombers' defence will bring a sense of urgency to BMO Field. 'I think the guys on the defence want to play better,' O'Shea said. 'Obviously they're not happy with the explosions they've given up, the mistakes they've made, the lack of communication on certain plays. 'They want to be the reason why the team wins, every phase does. I think the overall idea is work to play better and if they have a little more urgency, then that's probably a positive thing.
