Henderson Wins Portland Classic for the second time in a row

Henderson Wins Portland Classic for the second time in a row

Canadian professional golfer Brooke Mackenzie Henderson became the first to win the Portland classic second time in a row after Annika Sorenstam’s victory both in 2002 and 2003. In 2013 the tournament became a 72 hole event and the teenage golfer has been the first back to back winner since then. The defending champion had a swift four-stroke conquest. It wasn’t a walkover as golfer pulled through some edgy moments on the back nine.

Henderson joins Ha Na Jang as the second back to back winner this year in the tour. Ha Na Jang of South Korea won the Coates Championship early this year on 6th February.

The Sunday victory marks Henderson’s third career win. Speaking to Jerry Foltz during an interview she teases that the Northwest has been good to her. Well, that is true given that all her wins are from Northwest. Besides her two Portland victories, she also won the KPGM women’s PGA Championship at Sahalee Country Club in Sammamish, Washington in June 2016.

With three majors left this year, including the Olympics, Henderson believes that her win in the past tournaments only give her confidence to do better in the upcoming tournaments. The second-ranked eighteen year old golfer shot a 14-under 274 after a final round 71 at Columbia Edgewater Country Club in Portland, Oregon. In comparison to last year, where she had a nine stroke lead, her performance this year was noted to be varying. She had an eight-stroke win with a 21 under 267 at the 2015 Cambia Portland Classic.

Henderson reckons that she might not have played her best but it all worked out to second victory.

Are the wolves ready for the NBA Free Agency?

Are the wolves ready for the NBA Free Agency?

NBA fans most times look forward to the NBA free agency period. This period lasts for about 48 hours and is usually the most entertaining and the craziest and is the period where teams begin speaking to free agents. NBA Twitter is also very active at this period where there are rumors, meetings, midnight visits and salary figure discussions. In this season there is an increase in salary figures to about $94M. There is an increase in cap space to around $27M where the Wolves will be going to the free agency with about three free roster spots. This is despite the fact that Doogie Wolfson has a different amount of $29M recorded in his podcast. This period the league does not have a lot of money to spend on the free agents class during the summer.

This is to mean that there will be some big contracts set aside for insignificant guys that will cause regret in the coming period. Wolves are interested in some players and Darren Wolfson in his podcast link has cited eight of them. The players include Eric Gordon, Kris Humphries, D.J Augustin. Joakim Noah, Ryan Anderson, Courtney Lee, Randy Foye and Luol Deng, Anderson seems to have been doing poorly in his recent games. Foye and Gordon do not seem to give much hope in the NBA games. Other players that are of interest include Mizra Teletovic, Zaza Pachulia, John Leur among many others. The New York Liberty will be hosted by Lynx where they will try to get back on track even though they have had major improvements moving from 10-5.

Pat Summitt who was a great pioneer of the women’s basketball team has passed on. She was also a well-known coach and worked hard to make the women’s college game popular. She coached at Tennessee and won 8 national titles, 1098 wins in 38 seasons. Her competitiveness, longevity and her ability to bring her team to the limelight made her stand out among others. She was a great person and will be remembered more so because of her personal attributes.
