Cantlay grabs early lead at Pebble Beach — Patrick Cant-
lay looked just as good Thursday at Pebble Beach as the last
round he played 18 days ago. Jordan Spieth looked as good as his
last tournament, too. Coming off a 61 in the California desert
followed by at two-week break, Cantlay opened with seven bird-
ies in eight holes and closed with two straight birdies for a 10-un-
der 62. That tied the course record at Pebble Beach last matched
24 years ago by David Duval, and it gave Cantlay a two-shot lead
in the Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Henrik Norlander and 19-year-old
Akshay Bhatia were at 64. Bhatia hit all 18 of the small greens
at Pebble Beach, the first player to do that at Pebble since Ryan
Palmer in 2008. Spieth moved another round closer to some kind
of a groove. He tied for fourth last week in the Phoenix Open. He
holed out a wedge on the 10th hole for eagle and finished with
three birdies over his last five holes for a 65.
Shiffrin claims women’s super-G bronze behind Swiss
skiers; Kriechmayr tops men’s field — Lara Gut-Behrami
NHL
dashed to gold ahead of Swiss teammate Corinne Suter in a race
that saw Mikaela Shiffrin take bronze in the American’s first
speed race in more than a year. The trio was made to wait to get
their awards until after the subsequent men’s super-G, which
was won by Vincent Kriechmayr of Austria. Romed Baumann
of Germany finished 0.07 seconds behind for silver, and France’s
Alexis Pinturault was third, 0.38 behind. Both races took place
without fans amid strict anti-coronavirus measures, which also
prevented officials from handing over the medals and trophies.
Gut-Behrami mastered the sun-bathed Olympia delle Tofane
course to finally win the only medal missing from her storied ca-
reer, which includes six medals from previous major events.

“It’s competitive and it’s in-
tense,” Canucks rookie Adam
Gaudette said. “It’s a lot of fun
playing in these important,
competitive games. Every se-
ries means something. That’s
the way it’s going to be all year.”
A couple of title-winning
coaches, Washington’s Peter
Laviolette and Columbus’ John
Tortorella, haven’t noticed their
games getting out of control yet.
Edmonton’s Zach Kassian de-
scribed it early on as a “feeling
out process” between division
rivals and expects it to be a slow
build from now through May.
Of course, certain events in
games can cause spikes of ha-
tred.
The Canadiens were none
too pleased with a hit by Ca-
nucks defenseman Tyler Myers
on Joel Armia last month, and
Montreal coach Claude Julien
added some grit to his lineup
the next game against Vancou-
ver by inserting Corey Perry.
Garland mentioned a hit on
teammate Nick Schmaltz that
got Coyotes players’ backs up.
And the next St. Louis-Vegas
game could feature some fire-
works after Golden Knights
captain Mark Stone injured Ty-
ler Bozak with a heavy hit.
“Shots that happened to
Bozy or other guys like that,
sometimes that can carry over,”
Perron said.
Arizona coach Rick Tocchet
said he sees a carryover from
one game to the next against
the same opponent, just like
a playoff series. The roller
coaster ride also shakes up
emotions.
“One team’s happy, one
team’s unhappy,” Tocchet said.
“The team that’s happy, can you
stay even keel in the moment?
And the team that’s pissed, are
they going to do something
about it? That’s really why the
chippiness comes out.”
Nashville and Tampa Bay
weren’t even in the same con-
ference until this season, but
that didn’t stop them from
combining for 60 penalty min-
utes in back-to-back games.
Arizona and St. Louis didn’t
play much in previous years
either, but it’s fair to call it a ri-
valry, even if it ends up being
temporary.
“It’s like anything,” Garland
said. “You spend time around
somebody too long, you get
aggravated with them, and
you play someone seven times,
you’ll get aggravated with
them, too.”
what we’ll do and here’s how
you’ll fit in and then we’ll try to
teach you as you go on.”
Amzil has been a quick
learner. He had 22 points and
seven rebounds in 36 minutes
for his debut and has started all
12 of his games. He’s averaging
10.3 points and 5.3 rebounds,
and on Monday was named
Atlantic 10 rookie of the week
for the third time.
“I’d say it’s been a great help
for me,” Amzil said. “I don’t
know if it’s for everybody, but
for me, I think it’s helping me.”
For most midyear enroll-
ees, the production has been
modest, with strong perfor-
mances more of a bonus for
their teams.
Oregon got a boost from
6-11 center Franck Kepnang
with season-highs of eight
points in 15 minutes in Satur-
day’s win against Washington.
That same day in the Pac-12,
6-9 forward Mac Etienne made
his UCLA debut with eight
points and five rebounds in 28
minutes in a loss to USC.
USC has its own midyear
addition in guard Reese Wa-
ters, though he has seen limited
work (11 minutes in his first
three games), much like Gon-
zaga forward Ben Gregg (25
minutes in nine games) and
Maryland swingman James
Graham III (averaging 6.8
minutes through five games).
DePaul has two, with for-
ward David Jones making
his debut in Saturday’s loss to
Butler to join Keon Edwards
as midyear enrollees to have
played this year.
As for Wake Forest’s Whitt,
he’s averaging about 20 min-
utes through 11 games with
three starts, part of an effort
to fast-track his own develop-
ment and first-year coach Steve
Forbes’ program rebuild.
“No offense to high school
basketball, but this is like he’s
getting a master’s and a doctor-
ate right now in hoops, right?
And ahead of schedule,” Forbes
said. “I mean, you can tell a
kid, ‘Hey, it’s like this, it’s the
pace, the physicality.’ But until
they do it, they don’t get it. And
he gets it now.”
