Warriors coach Kerr on indefinite leave for surgery recovery

Thu, 01 Oct 2015 21:57:47 +0000

(Reuters) - The NBA champion Golden State Warriors could be without head coach Steve Kerr for the start of the 2015-16 season after he took a leave of absence on Thursday as he recovers from back surgery. Kerr, 50, who guided the Warriors to the NBA championship in his first season in charge, had surgery to repair a ruptured disc in late July and then a follow-up procedure last month. "After the first two days of training camp, I realized I need to take a step back and focus on my rehabilitation in order to be ready for the grind of another NBA season," Kerr said in a statement.

Spieth expected to land PGA Tour Player of the Year honors

Thu, 01 Oct 2015 19:41:20 +0000

By Mark Lamport-Stokes (Reuters) - World number one Jordan Spieth is set to cap a sensational season on Friday when he is widely expected to be named the PGA Tour's Player of the Year after a 2014-15 campaign highlighted by two major victories among his five wins. Spieth is the front-runner to land the coveted honor after clinching the first two majors of the season -- the Masters and U.S. Open -- before finishing one shot out of a British Open playoff and being runner-up at the PGA Championship. The 22-year-old American ended his campaign in triumphant style with victory at the season-ending Tour Championship in Atlanta last week where he also clinched overall FedExCup playoff honors and the $10 million jackpot.

Thu, 01 Oct 2015 19:25:36 +0000

(Reuters) - Rookies Jimmy Mullen and Paul Dunne enjoyed a stunning start to their professional golf careers, taking a share of the lead on the first day of the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship on Thursday.
