TORONTO (AP) — Days after being blindsided by the PGA Tour’s partnership with Saudi Arabia’s wealth fund, Rory McIlroy put himself in position for a run at a third straight Canadian Open title.McIlroy, the strongest voice against Saudi-funded LIV Golf who said Wednesday he feels like a “sacrificial lamb,” shot a 6-under 66 on Saturday at tree-lined Oakdale, leaving him two strokes behind leader C.T. Pan.The four-time major champion from Northern Ireland won in 2019 in at Hamilton, then — after the event was canceled for two years because of the COVID-19 pandemic — won last year in Toronto at St. George’s amid a flurry of LIV Golf controversy. He was asked if it meant a bit more again — with the news Tuesday.“Look, I would love to win the Canadian Open for the third time. I’ve never won a tournament three times in a row,” McIlroy said. “I felt like last year the win wasn’t just for me it was for a few other things. But this one, this year, if I were able to get over the line, w...

‘I would truly would love to stay a Cub’: Ahead of the trade deadline and player opt-out, Marcus Stroman says Cubs haven’t engaged in extension talks

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:23:16 GMT

Marcus Stroman has made clear he wants to engage in contract extension talks with the Chicago Cubs.The feeling is not mutual, according to Stroman. President of baseball operations Jed Hoyer has repeatedly stated over the years he does not talk about players’ contract situations publicly. In this case, there does not appear to be engagement behind the scenes, either.“I want nothing more than to be a Cub,” Stroman told reporters Saturday. “I kill myself 24/7 on and off the field to perform, to keep my body is position, to keep my mind in position.“I truly believe I prepare like nobody else so I know my worth.”Coming off another stellar start in Friday’s 3-2 win against the San Francisco Giants, allowing two runs in 6⅔ innings, the love from Cubs fans on Twitter calling for the team to extend him didn’t go unnoticed by the 32-year-old right-hander.
