ProQuest document link FULL TEXT The Americans came within one match of winning the Presidents Cup -- on Saturday. The U.S. team is playing to its full potential, and the result is the biggest blowout since these matches began in 1994. Anirban Lahiri and Si Woo Kim had the only victory for the International team over two sessions, and Phil Mickelson broke Tiger Woods' Presidents Cup record with his 25th victory as the Americans poured it on at Liberty National in New Jersey. They had a 141/2-31/2 lead and need only one point Sunday to win the cup for the seventh straight time. The 11-point margin is the largest going into the 12 singles matches, breaking the International record of nine points set in 1998 at Royal Melbourne, the only time that team has won the cup. Rory McIlroy moved into contention at the British Masters by shooting a six-under 64 in the third round, leaving him two strokes off the lead held by Robert Karlsson. ... Five-time PGA Tour winner Jonathan Byrd shot a seven- under 64 to take the third-round lead in the Web.com Tour Championship. -- ETC. George: Westbrook makes choice 'easier' Paul George says teammate Russell Westbrook's new $205-million contract extension with the Oklahoma City Thunder "absolutely" will factor into his future. "We've been on an unbelievable start right now and for him to be committed here, it says a lot," George told reporters Saturday. "Not only in us pairing together, but just knowing what type of dude Russ is and his values and his beliefs and him being committed to the organization says a lot. And I'm one person that's enjoying it here, so I think when that time comes, the decision will be easier to make for myself." George, who can become a free agent next summer, has expressed a desire to play for his hometown Lakers, who were expected to make a hard push for him and Westbrook, another L.A. native, in 2018. But the Thunder have built a contender this summer by trading for George in June and Carmelo Anthony in September. "This feels like a championship team," George told USA Today last month.

Nicole Santa Cruz; Winton, Richard; Agrawal, Nina . Los Angeles Times ; Los Angeles, Calif. [Los Angeles, Calif]03 Oct 2017: B.5. ProQuest document link FULL TEXT Los Angeles police said they found no evidence of a shooting on the USC campus Monday after a report of gunfire prompted a lockdown and a substantial LAPD response. "No danger to community," the Los Angeles Police Department said on Twitter after completing a search of campus buildings. Public safety officials said evacuations were prompted by a false report that came in shortly after noon. "It was reported a faculty member during class falsely told her students there was an active shooter in the building," John Thomas, head of USC's Department of Public Safety, said in an emailed statement. USC police said the incident occurred in a third-floor classroom in Fertitta Hall, a building of the business school. LAPD Deputy Chief Phillip Tingirides said the professor appeared to have some sort of "episode" and told students there was an active shooter on campus. The woman, whose name department officials declined to release, was not booked on a criminal charge. She was detained for questioning, LAPD Officer Tony Im said. At this point police are trying to figure out "why she did what she did," Im said. PDF GENERATED BY SEARCH.PROQUEST.COM Page 3 of 149 USC issued an alert telling students to shelter in place at 12:23 p.m. Within about half an hour, police had verified there was no active shooter. Tiago Rodriguez was sitting in a business communication class in Fertitta Hall when campus public safety officers walked by and told everyone to stay inside. Minutes earlier, the professor had been going over the procedures for an active-shooter situation. At first, Rodriguez thought it was a drill, but the mood in the class intensified quickly. Students lined up against a wall. One student gave the professor his belt to lock the door. At one point, the people in the room piled up their desks and chairs in front of the door to form a barricade. Some students called their parents, crying. "It totally felt like my life was in immediate danger," Rodriguez said. "It was sobering that this is the reality of the United States today." Brian Frost, an MBA student, was grabbing coffee before his 12:30 p.m. class when he saw a stampede of people sprinting out of a building. "I just started running," he said. Frost said he thought people were even more jittery than usual in the aftermath of the mass shooting in Las Vegas on Sunday night. Ignacio Barron, also an MBA student, said he was in the middle of an exam when a person burst into the classroom with orders to evacuate. Barron and his classmates quickly left Popovich Hall and waited for updates as fully armed police stood nearby. Barron said everything happened so quickly that he didn't have a chance to be fearful. He praised the school's response. "Everything was really well-coordinated," he said. Officers with the school's department of public safety let students back into classrooms about 2 p.m. In a statement released late Monday afternoon, USC Provost Michael Quick praised the rapid police response as well as students, staff and faculty for how they reacted to the alert. -- [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Caption: PHOTO: USC STUDENTS gather on South Figueroa Street after being evacuated because of a report of an active shooter on campus, which turned out to be false.
