4 Takeaways As Red Sox Score 20 Runs in Explosion Against Rays
4 takeaways as Red Sox score 20 runs in explosion against Rays Red Sox The Red Sox demolished the Rays on Wednesday, despite ninth inning struggles. The Red Sox demolished the Rays on Wednesday to break their recent slide. Jim Davis/Globe Staff By Tom Westerholm August 12, 2021 | 1:09 AM The Red Sox needed a win desperately on Wednesday, and they made sure — then kept making sure — they got one in a 20-8 victory over the Rays. Here’s what happened. The Big Picture The Red Sox gave Rays starter Josh Fleming no time to settle in, scoring their first run on the second batter of the game when Hunter Renfroe doubled in Kiké Hernández. Three runs crossed the plate in the first, and J.D. Martinez singled in two more in the second. Red Sox fans have learned not to breathe easy in recent weeks, however, so a five-run fourth helped ease nerves, as did a three-run triple by Bobby Dalbec in the fifth that Randy Arozarena appeared to lose in the lights. The Rays finally resorted to catcher Francisco Mejia on the mound. Mejia gave up six runs as the Red Sox crossed the 20- run threshold in the eighth. Advertisement: The Red Sox weren’t quite ready to let fans leave comfortably — Phillips Valdez gave up five hits and seven runs in the top of the ninth. As it turned out, 20 runs were just enough to feel comfortable. Star of the Game Hunter Renfroe — 3-for-5, three runs, four RBIs, two doubles Any of a number of offensive players would fit the bill here, but Renfroe gets the nod for jumpstarting the offense. -

Met Open Championship Presented by Callaway 103rdAugust 21 - 23, 2018 Wykagyl Country Club History of the Met Open Championship Presented by Callaway From its inception in 1905 through the 1940 renewal, the Met Open was considered one of the most prestigious events in golf, won by the likes of Gene Sarazen, Walter Hagen, Johnny Farrell, Tommy Armour, Paul Runyan, Byron Nelson, and Craig Wood, in addition to the brothers Alex and Macdonald Smith (who together captured seven Met Opens, with Alex winning a record four times). The second edition of the championship was hosted and sponsored by Hollywood Golf Club, when George Low won in 1906. After an eight-year hiatus overlapping World War II, the Met Open became more of a regional championship, won by many of the top local club professionals, among them Claude Harmon, Jimmy Wright, Jim Albus, David Glenz, Bobby Heins and Darrell Kestner, not to mention such storied amateurs as Chet Sanok, Jerry Courville Sr., George Zahringer III, Jim McGovern, Johnson Wagner, and Andrew Svoboda. The purse was raised to a record $150,000 in 2007, giving the championship added importance. In 2015 the MGA celebrated a major milestone in marking the championship’s 100th playing, won by Ben Polland at Winged Foot Golf Club. In 2017, The MGA welcomed a new Championship Partner, Callaway Golf. Callaway Golf is the presenting sponsor of the Met Open Championship. Eligibility The competition is open to golfers who are: 1. Past MGA Open Champions. 2. PGA Members in good standing in the Metropolitan and New Jersey PGA Sections. -

Is Tiger Woods a Winner? Scott M
Is Tiger Woods a Winner? Scott M. Berry Abstract Tiger Woods has an amazing record of winning golf tournaments. He has gained the persona of a player that is a winner, a player that when near the lead or in the lead can do whatever it takes to win. In this paper I investigate whether in fact, he is a winner. A mathematical model is created for the ability of Tiger Woods, and all PGA Tour golfers to play 18 holes of tournament golf. The career of Tiger Woods is replayed using the mathematical model for all golfers and the results are very consistent with Tiger Woods’ actual career. Therefore the mathematical model, which does not give Woods any additional ability to win, would result in essentially the same career. Woods has not needed any additional ability to win–only his pure golfing ability. The ramifications of this result are that there is no evidence that Woods is in fact a “winner” – but instead he is just a much better golfer than everyone else. Introduction Tiger Woods is one of those rare athletes that accomplish feats in their sport that are freakish. In this small group are guys such as Babe Ruth, Wayne Gretzky, Wilt Chamberlain, Barry Bonds, and Jack Nicklaus. Woods dominates a sport where the population of players are all very good–and very tightly bundled in their ability. To win one tournament, beating 100+ of these players is incredibly difficult. To average one tournament victory a year for 10 years is a Hall of Fame type accomplishment. -
COOKEVILLE's BOBBY GREENWOOD HAS PLAYED AGAINST the GREATS by Buddy Pearson
COOKEVILLE'S BOBBY GREENWOOD HAS PLAYED AGAINST THE GREATS by Buddy Pearson COOKEVILLE •• The Golf Channel recently celebrated the centennial birthdays of Byron Nelson, Sam Snead and Ben Hogan with an hour•long show American Triumvirate. The show provided an in•depth look into the three men who helped shape a modern, new era of golf. (Pictured: Cookeville’s Bobby Greenwood (right) poses with Byron Nelson (left) after playing against Nelson in the 1964 Texas Cup matches. Greenwood has played against legends like Nelson, Sam Snead and Ben Hogan. Cookeville golfing legend Bobby Greenwood knows first•hand what Nelson, Snead and Hogan were like. During his illustrious golfing career, Greenwood was able to play with and against golfing's greatest triumvirate. "Byron Nelson, Sam Snead and Ben Hogan were great champions," said Greenwood. "They were perfectionists and hard workers. They were each great competitors and fighters along with being gifted athletes. They also had strong character." Greenwood came across an aging Nelson in the 1964 Texas Cup matches. An All•American at North Texas State, Greenwood was on the amateur squad and was selected to take on Nelson, who represented the professional team. Greenwood says even though Nelson was way past his prime, the man who holds the record for winning 11 consecutive tournaments and 18 in one season was just as competitive 20 years after accomplishing those amazing feats. "As I look back over my playing career, I've played against a lot of great players including Jack Nicklaus, Cary Middlecoff, Sam Snead, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Billy Joe Patton and Arnold Palmer, but Byron Nelson, even at his older age, was the most intense player I have ever played against. -
