Patrick Reed, Harold Varner III lead LIV Golf Dallas
Patrick Reed and Harold Varner III each shot five-under 67 at Maridoe Golf Club to lead after the opening round of LIV Golf Dallas. Reed eagled the 655-yard, par-5 second hole and had four birdies and a bogey. Varner, Reed's 4Aces teammate, had six birdies and a closing bogey. "For sure. I want to beat him, even though he's a teammate," Varner said. "It's a lot of fun. It got awkward when he chipped in on the par-5 and I made par. That's when I knew it was going to be fun. Yeah, that's what you want, and I guess we get to do it again tomorrow." Together, they lifted 4Aces to a score of nine under for the day and a six-shot lead over Crushers GC. "I mean, I felt like I was behind him all day and really just kind of trying to feed off of him," Reed said about his teammate. "Harold is out there playing some solid golf, hitting some quality golf shots. It's always nice when you're seeing that because you can feed off of it." Jon Rahm was a stroke back. Abraham Ancer shot 69, and Dustin Johnson was at 70 with Graeme McDowell, Anirban Lahiri, Richard Bland and David Puig. Ancer's play was a little erratic as he made seven birdies, two bogeys and a double bogey on the par-3 third, which was his final hole of the day. "Yeah, very solid round, very happy the way I hit it off the tee," Ancer said. "I think I only missed two fairways that led to two bogeys. "The rough is no joke out there. But I love golf courses like that that you have to be in the fairway. Definitely hurts to finish the way I finished with a double bogey, obviously. Just felt like I just lost a little bit of concentration on that par-3." Bryson DeChambeau opened with a 72. He lives in Dallas and played his college golf at SMU. Points leader Joaquin Niemann, coming off a victory at LIV Golf Virginia, shot 78. He had a 10 on the par-5 seventh. Brooks Koepka withdrew during the round because of illness. He smashed a tee marker with his driver on the ninth hole. The Australians have made a dreadful start and are in the lower half of the field.

Michigan football gains 3-star LB Markel Dabney from SMU after secret visit for 2026 class
BREAKING: Class of 2026 LB Markel Dabney has Flipped his Commitment from SMU to Michigan, he tells me for @on3recruitsThe 6'1 210 LB from Richmond, VA had been Committed to the Mustangs since May 13'We just getting started, let's work #GoBlue' Recruiting is really in full swing for Michigan football now that we're getting to the end of the late spring cycle. While it took a while for the maize and blue to start garnering commitments, the class is starting to build and its getting bigger by the day. One place that the Wolverines have sought talent, somewhat fruitlessly (at least in terms of garnering commitments) is the linebacker position. There are several key players still left on the board, but Michigan quietly coveted one linebacker committed to another school who secretly made an official visit last week. The maize and blue were in the thick of it for 2026 Richmond (Va.) Huguenot three-star Markel Dabney, but Dabney made an unexpected pledge to SMU back in May. Brian Jean-Mary and the staff didn't give up however, getting him back on campus with the official visit. However, Pitt also got to be in contention for the three-star, so he opted to update his recruitment, noting he'd have a June 21 decision. That decision never came, as Dabney went on a cruise, per On3's EJ Holland. Once he returned, Dabney made his decision, and he ended up committing to Michigan football, making him the 15th pledge of the class. Here is the updated commitment list for the maize and blue: Dabney is rated a three-star across the board, but Michigan football has made him a priority target, much like it had eventual signee Chase Taylor a year ago.
