Spieth hangs on to lead at Colonial — Jordan Spieth
knows how to finish out of the rough, and still had the lead af-
ter three rounds at Colonial. After hitting his final drive Satur-
day into the thick grass on an incline right of the No. 18 fair-
way, Spieth recovered with an approach to 8 feet before rolling
in the birdie putt that gave him the solo lead again over play-
ing partner Jason Kokrak in the final group at the the Charles
Schwab Challenge. Spieth had his second consecutive round of
4-under 66 to get to 15 under at Colonial. That was one stroke
ahead of Kokrak, who had matched him for the lead with four
birdies in a six-hole stretch before a closing par in his round of
66. The resurgent Spieth has the 54-hole lead for a PGA Tour
best-matching fourth time this season, all in a span of 11 tour-
naments. That stretch includes his win at the Valero Texas
Open, the first time he had won since the 2017 British Open.
Stricker jumps atop leaderboard at Senior PGA — Steve
Stricker took advantage of Mike Weir’s back-nine collapse
Saturday to take the lead into the final round of the Senior
PGA Championship. Stricker shot a 3-under 67 at Southern
Hills for a one-stroke lead over Alex Cejka, who beat Stricker
in a playoff this month in the major Regions Tradition in Al-
abama. Stricker was at 6-under 204. Cejka shot 68. Weir was
8 under through 11 holes, then made a double bogey on 12,
starting a stretch of giving back five shots in five holes. The
Canadian left-hander finished with a 74, leaving him three
strokes behind Stricker, but still in the final group Sunday.

For years, Redmond coach Kris Davis
had envisioned hosting a outdoor wres-
tling event during the summer. But when
the COVD-19 pandemic pushed the sport
traditionally played when the tempera-
tures are closer to freezing into late spring,
wrestling outdoors and under stadium
lights became a reality.
It became evident after the first of three
matches Friday night, that dream of hav-
ing an outdoor wrestling event was start-
ing to come true for Davis.
“With COVID pushing into the spring it
kinda manifested itself and so I developed
a plan to put this together with my admin-
istration and asked for their blessing and
it happened,” said Davis. “Some of the best
teams reached out and wanted to come
out so we are having some really high level
wrestling so it is awesome.”
Eight teams made their way to the tour-
nament. Local teams Mountain View,
Bend High, Crook County and Ridgeview
made the quick trip, while Cascade, Sweet
Home and perennial power Newberg
made the trek to Central Oregon. Outdoor
wrestling literally was a breath of fresh to
the wrestlers, who are known to practice in
small, hot and humid rooms and breath-
ing in the stale air that forms when wres-
tling indoors.
“You don’t get as hot,” said Redmond ju-
nior 113-pounder Logan Hill. “You feel a
lot more free, you have a lot more air and
do not breathe in other people’s air.”
It should come as no surprise that New-
berg, the defending Class 6A state cham-
pions, won all of its matches, including a
74-0 sweep of Crook County, a perennial
wrestling power itself. Newberg also had a
resounding 63-9 win over Mountain View,
a third place finisher at the 6A state meet
in 2020.
Mountain View won its other two
matches against Cascade (70-12) and
Sweet Home 48-33). Bend High beat Cas-
cade (48-24) and Ridgeview (53-24) while
losing to Redmond (51-27). Crook County

Redmond High School faces off against Sweet Home High School during an outdoor meet on
the Redmond’s football field on Friday night.
“With COVID pushing into the spring
it kinda manifested itself and so I
developed a plan to put this together
with my administration and asked for
their blessing and it happened. “Some of
the best teams reached out and wanted
to come out so we are having some really
high level wrestling so it is awesome.”
— Kris Davis, Redmond wrestling coach
would go on to win its final two matches
with wins over Cascade (76-3) and Rid-
geview (54-24). Redmond would also beat
Cascade (59-18) Friday evening.
Wrestling outdoors has not been un-
common this past school year. Since
the pandemic prohibited indoor con-
tact sports until late April, teams had to
get creative with how to train for a sport
where contact is unavoidable.
Mountain View practiced in sand vol-
leyball courts once outdoor contact sports
were allowed, while Crook County ran
400-meter sprints around the track in six
inches of snow during the winter.
“We have been having to deal with this,
we have been wrestling outside the past
couple of weeks,” said Crook County ju-
nior 132-pounder Tucker Bonner. “We
have had to make it work because that is
all that we get.”
Wrestling outdoors on a warm spring
evening leading into Memorial Day was
far more enjoyable than wrestling out-
doors during the winter.
“I like it, the mats are a little soft so that
trips you a little bit,” said Bonner. “I like
the fresh air though.”
Friday was Redmond’s second outdoor
wrestling event of the week. The Panthers
hosted Pendleton for an outdoor dual
meet Wednesday. But hosting eight teams
brought its own stress, especially in a week
that brought inconsistent weather patterns
to Central Oregon.
“Any time you are running a tourna-
ment you want to make sure everything is
running the right way,” said Davis. “But all
we wanted was to get the kids back on the
mat and compete and that is what we got.”
