Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:23:07 GMT

SEATTLE (AP) — Before Rome Odunze left the room, he wanted to share a message about his Washington teammate that was sitting behind the microphones. “You’re looking at the Heisman Trophy winner right there,” Odunze shouted in the direction of his quarterback Michael Penix Jr.While voting is still months away, Penix’s Heisman moment may have come Saturday on the biggest stage for a pair of long-time Pacific Northwest rivals.Penix hit Odunze on an 18-yard touchdown pass with 1:38 remaining after another debatable fourth-down decision by Oregon, and Camden Lewis missed a 43-yard field goal attempt on the final play as No. 7 Washington held off No. 8 Oregon 36-33 in another wild chapter to their heated rivalry.The 115th matchup between the rivals was the first that featured both teams ranked in the top 10, along with a couple quarterbacks in Penix and Bo Nix who should contend for honor as the best player in college.

Tom Kim with another Saturday 62 in Las Vegas is part of 3-way tie for the lead

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 12:23:07 GMT

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Defending champion Tom Kim felt the vibes and found his groove Saturday in Las Vegas with a 9-under 62 that gave him a three-way share of the lead in the Shriners Children’s Open and a chance to win the same tournament twice in one season.It was the second straight year Kim had a 62 in the third round at the TPC Summerlin. It led to a playoff victory over Patrick Cantlay last year in what was the early part of the season. Now it’s technically the same season before the PGA Tour goes back to a calendar year.Adam Hadwin played bogey-free — he had more birdies on the par 3s than the par 5s — for a 63 to catch Kim. Joining them was a late arrival in so many ways — Lanto Griffin, who was tied for the 36-hole lead and didn’t make a birdie until the 13th hole.That was the start of three birdies in a four-hole stretch that led to a 68 and allowed Griffin to share the lead at 15-under 198.This was hardly a three-man race going into the final round.
