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

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

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.
