Green shoots 11-under 61 to take 1-shot lead at Ford
GILBERT, Ariz>> A sore throat and runny nose lowered Hannah Green’s expectations for the second round of the LPGA Tour Ford Championship.
She sure felt a lot better after a career-best round on a day full of low scoring.
Green birdied the final six holes for an 11-under 61 on Friday, giving her a one-shot lead going into the weekend.
Increased wind did little to slow the low scoring in the inaugural event at Seville Golf and Country Club, with 20 players shooting 67 or better and a cut line of 5 under — tied for lowest in LPGA history.
Jets acquire edge rusher Reddick from the Eagles
The New York Jets have acquired two-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Haason Reddick from the Philadelphia Eagles for a conditional third-round pick in 2026, a person with knowledge of the trade told The Associated Press.
The source said the pick would become a second-rounder if Reddick plays 67.5% of the defensive snaps and gets 10 sacks in 2024.
Reddick, a first-round pick by Arizona in 2017, has recorded double-digit sacks in four straight seasons, including 27 over the past two years with the Eagles.

Clark says she heard about Big3 offer on social media
ALBANY, N.Y. >> Caitlin Clark said she found out about the Big3’s offer to play for the 3-on-3 men’s basketball league over social media.
A social media account for Ice Cube, who founded the league of former NBA players, said the organization had made an offer to the NCAA’s Division I all-time leading scorer that reportedly is for $5 million. The Big3 season runs in the summer so it would conflict with the WNBA season where Clark is expected to play as the No. 1 pick of the Indiana Fever.
Stanford goes down and so does last perfect bracket
LAS VEGAS>> Cameron Brink fouled out early in the fourth quarter of her final college game, and soon after Stanford and the last perfect ESPN Tournament Challenge bracket were gone, too.
Like the 11th-seeded North Carolina State men minutes earlier in its 67-58 victory over No. 2 Marquette, the third-seeded Wolfpack women survived and advanced in the NCAA Tournament on Friday. They rallied from a 10-point halftime deficit to knock off the No. 2 Cardinal 77-67 in the Sweet 16.
And with it went the lone remaining perfect women’s bracket, which had Stanford making the Elite Eight.
