Patrick Reed Wags Finger At Rory McIlroy Amid Incredible Ryder Cup Match
Share this: Patrick Reed and Rory McIlroy are putting on a show at the 2016 Ryder Cup. These golfers are drilling birdies, confronting hecklers and wagging fingers in what has become must-watch television on an NFL Sunday. Here’s McIlroy shushing the pro-USA crowd at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minn. McIlroy’s best celebration, though, came after he made a very long putt. And here’s Reed wagging his finger at McIlroy, although it appeared this was all in good fun and not a taunt. As the kids would say, it’s “lit.” Team USA entered Sunday’s final round with a 9.5 to 6.5 lead over Europe. The Americans haven’t won the Ryder Cup since 2008.

Red Sox Notes: Craig Kimbrel’s Mechanical Issues Not A Concern, Coaches Say
Share this: BOSTON — Craig Kimbrel’s last four outings have been shaky, but the Red Sox aren’t worried about their hard-throwing closer going into the postseason. Kimbrel earned the 4-3 loss Saturday against the Toronto Blue Jays after a leadoff walk to left fielder Michael Saunders ended with pinch-runner Dalton Pompey scoring the game-winning run in the ninth inning. Walks have been an issue for the 28-year-old reliever of late because of some mechanical issues, but his coaches are confident he can fix them. “I think really the last three outings now, just getting a little out of posture with his upper body causing him to get rotational,” pitching coach Carl Willis said of Kimbrel. “The stuff’s still there, and like I said
