SPORTS Thursday, July 28, 2016 East Oregonian Page 3B NBA Golf Blazers make McCollum extension oficial Jason Day ready to defend his PGA Championship crown at Baltusrol By ANNE M. PETERSON Associated Press PORTLAND — The Portland Trail Blazers formally signed guard CJ McCollum to a four- year contract extension Wednesday. The extension, which takes effect after the upcoming season, will keep McCollum in Portland through the 2020-21 season. “ I ’ m ecstatic to be able to extend my career in Portland McCollum and grateful for the trust and the oppor- tunity the organization has provided for me,” McCo- llum said in a statement. “Since I arrived in Oregon I’ve considered it home and look forward to building something special, not only on the court, but in the community as well.” McCollum was named the NBA’s 2016 Most Improved Player after averaging 20.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 4.3 assists during the regular season. He raised his scoring average by more than 14 points over the previous season. The 24-year-old guard became a starter in the Blazers’ backcourt with Damian Lillard last season after four of the team’s starters left in the offseason. “CJ is a foundational player and an essential member of the core of this team,” said Neil Olshey, the Blazers’ president of basketball operations “We are excited about his long term commitment to our By JIM O’CONNELL Associated Press PGA Championship SPRINGFIELD, N.J. — Jason Day’s plan to defend his PGA Championship took a turn he wasn’t expecting. It is rare for a player considered one of the favorites in a major not to see the golf course until the day before the tournament starts, but that’s how the world’s No. 1-ranked player will try to handle Baltusrol Golf Club, the site of this year’s PGA Championship. “I haven’t played a practice round. I haven’t seen the course. I don’t know what it looks like,” Day said Wednesday before heading out for a practice round. “I was with Doug Steffen, the head pro, last night at the champions’ dinner. I went through pretty much every hole with him for about 20, 30 minutes, kind of going over all the holes. I’m going to try and touch them all today, but obviously the prep’s been a little on the lighter side. So I need to come in and try to get a good, solid 18 holes in today so I kind of know where I’m going.” Day’s plan had always been to take Monday off. Tuesday became a day of tending to a sick family and himself. “Dash and Lucy (his children) are sick right now, and kind of Dash passed that on to me a little bit,” Day said. “I’m OK. I’m ine. I’m • Where: Baltusrol Golf Club, Springield, New Jersey • When: Thursday-Sunday • TV Schedule: Round 1, Thursday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. (TNT). AP Photo/Seth Wenig Jason Day warms up during Wednesday’s practice round for the PGA Championship at Baltusrol Golf Club in Springield, N.J. just a little bit under the weather. Ellie (his wife) had an allergic reaction last night and had to go to the hospital. We were there until 2 o’clock or something like that. So I’m kind of running on ‘E’ right now. She’s ine. Everything was great.” The 28-year-old Australian has eight wins in 2015 and 2016, but he hasn’t had a good irst round in any of the majors this year, which makes his having two Top Ten inishes in them all the more impressive. He shot a 72 to start the Masters and was able to inish tied for 10th. At the U.S. Open at Oakmont, he started with a 76 and rallied to inish tied for eighth. At the British Open he started with a 73 and inished tied for 22nd at Royal Troon. “I think there’s a little bit of expectation obviously on my shoulders; that I’ve got off to a great start this year. You’ve got to come out and ire on all cylinders and get yourself up the leaderboard and show people that you’re there and you’re ready to win,” he said. “I think if you try a little bit too hard sometimes, you can kind of shoot yourself in the foot. I think that’s what I did in the irst two majors.” Since the PGA went to stroke play in 1958, only Tiger Woods has repeated as champion, in 2006 and 2007. Besides chasing Tiger, Day is also trying keep that No. 1 ranking he claimed after winning the World Match Play Championship in March. He could lose it this week if things fall right between himself and U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson. “It’s deinitely important. I really want to obviously inish No. 1 in the world at the end of the year,” Day said. “But I think the biggest thing for me is to really understand what I need to do to win each week, or get myself into contention. Because the hardest part is obviously trying to stay consistent for so many years; it’s very, very dificult. I think the last guy we had was Tiger Woods that was very consistent. Each week that he played, he was pretty much in contention.” MLB Commissioner says more changes needed for pace of play ix By STEVEN WINE Associated Press MIAMI — MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred says more rule changes are needed to improve the pace of play, and one proposal under consideration is a limitation on relief pitching changes in an inning or a game. The majors shaved several minutes off the average game time last season, but games have been slightly longer in 2016. “We’ve slipped back a little bit this year, and pace of play is one of those issues where we’re going to continually need to evaluate the rules we have,” Manfred said. “And we’re going to need to continually work with our players to stay focused on the issue.” Manfred has said he’s in favor of a limitation on relief pitchers but didn’t lobby for it Wednesday. “We look at all aspects of the game all the time,” he said. “I don’t want to put particular emphasis on that one.” Manfred spoke at the Phillies’ game at Marlins Park, where he helped unveil the logo for the 2017 All-Star Game. It will be played next July 11, with the Marlins hosting the game in their 25th season. “Miami is going to be a great venue,” Manfred said. “We had a wonderful experience in San Diego, and I know Miami is going to top that.” The game in San Diego two weeks ago included a record- breaking effort by the Marlins’ Giancarlo Stanton to win the Home Run Derby. “It was a truly awesome perfor- mance,” Manfred said. “I was actu- ally there for BP, and for those who didn’t get there early, they missed a good part of the show.” Manfred also praised the Marlins’ Ichiro Suzuki, who began the day three hits shy of 3,000. “For Ichiro to be able to have 3,000 hits in major league baseball after the fantastic and long career he had in Japan is just a tremen- dous, historic accomplishment,” Manfred said.
