The 3 plays in sports everybody will be talking about today
Good morning! Here are the plays everybody will be talking about Thursday.
Young golfer breaks in Tiger Woods' new course in style. On Wednesday, Tiger Woods opened Bluejack National, a new 10-hole, par-3 course outside Houston. To break in the course, Woods had a couple of kids play a round. One of those kids was 11-year-old Taylor Crozier, who had the honor of hitting the first shot on the course. He hit a hole-in-one, getting a huge ovation and a hug from Tiger. Not a bad day.
Not Russell Westbrook's best moment on a basketball court. The Oklahoma City Thunder blew a 22-point lead in a 103-98 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, but they still had a chance to tie in the closing seconds. Without a timeout, Westbrook pushed the ball up the court and, with plenty of time to set up a good shot, launched an off-balance 3-pointer that missed by a mile. Game over.
The Flying Canadian flies again. No. 9 Oregon rallied to beat UCLA 76-68, and along the way senior forward Chris Boucher scored at the end of this lovely double-pass alley-oop. The Flying Canadian had only four points on the night, but half of them were pretty sweet.
