Moments later, he doubled over behind the green and said in anguish, “Not again!” Rahm was notified he tested positive for the corona- virus, knocking him out of the tournament. The PGA Tour said the Spaniard had come in close contact with a person who was COVID-19 positive, meaning Rahm could play provided he was tested daily. Every test since he arrived Monday came back negative except the one after his second round, which was completed Saturday morning. The tour said Rahm remained asymptomatic. Rahm’s withdrawal results in Collin Morikawa and Patrick Cantlay being tied for the lead at 12-under 204. Thompson grabs lead at U.S. Women’s Open — Ameri- can Lexi Thompson fired a 5-under 66 to grab a one-shot lead over Yuka Saso (71) in the third round of the U.S. Women’s Open in San Francisco on Saturday. Thompson carded five birdies in her bogey-free round. TENNIS Nadal, Swiatek advance at French Open — Iga Swiatek closed out her latest French Open victory and raised a trium- phant right fist. Rafael Nadal won less than half an hour later and celebrated with a left uppercut. The two defending cham- pions make for a potent one-two combination at Roland Gar- ros, where both won going away Saturday to reach the fourth round. Swiatek rallied from a break down in the opening set to beat Anett Kontaveit 7-6 (4), 6-0. Nadal eliminated Cam- eron Norrie 6-3, 6-3, 6-3 and advanced to the round of 16 at a Grand Slam for the 50th time. Roger Federer raised his total to a record 68 trips to the round of 16 at majors by getting past Dominik Koepfer 7-6 (5), 6-7 (3), 7-6 (4), 7-5. Sofia Kenin ad- vanced to the fourth round for the third consecutive year by winning a match against Jessica Pegula, 4-6, 6-1, 6-4. The top- seeded Novak Djokovic didn’t face a break point en route to a 6-1, 6-4, 6-1 victory over unseeded Ričardas Berankis. Seven- teen-year-old American Coco Gauff advanced to the fourth round in Paris for the first time. She led 6-1 when her opponent, Jennifer Brady, stopped playing due to a left foot injury. — Bulletin wire reports POWERBALL The numbers drawn Saturday night are: 44 52 54 64 69 26 As listed at oregonlottery.org and individual lottery websites MONDAY Boys basketball: la Pine at Santiam Christian, 7:30 p.m.; north lake at Trinity lutheran, 6 p.m. Girls basketball: eagle Point at Mountain View, 7 p.m.; la Pine at Santiam Christian, 6 p.m.; north lake at Trinity lutheran, 5:30 p.m.; Prospect Charter at Central Christian, 5:30 p.m. TUESDAY Boys basketball: Mountain View at Bend, 7 p.m.; Summit at South eugene, 6:30 p.m.; Pendleton at Crook County, 7 p.m.; Redmond at The dalles, 6:30 p.m.; hood River Valley at Ridgeview, 7 p.m.; Madras at Corbett, 6 p.m.; Sweet home at Sisters, 7 p.m.; Butte Falls at Trinity lutheran, 7 p.m. Girls basketball: Bend at Mountain View, 7 p.m.; Summit at South eugene, 5 p.m.; Crook County at Pendleton, 6:30 p.m.; Ridgeview at hood River Valley, 6:30 p.m.; The dalles at Redmond, 7 p.m.; Corbett at Madras, 6 p.m.; Sisters at Sweet home, 6 p.m. Wrestling: la Pine at Culver, TBd.

Blazers Continued from B1 Also, he had Juwan Howard, whose name also curiously sur- faced in some circles along with Billups and Kidd as a possible replacement for the Stotts. I’m not reading this as a head to head Olshey vs. Lillard bat- tle. The GM would lose that in a first-round knockout. Olshey is probably more worried about his job security after offering Stotts up as a sacrifice for his own sins. But it’s curious to me that after the Blazers fired Stotts with $10 million left on his contract that the forces work- ing behind the scenes went to the mattresses trying to gain control. It’s something Paul Al- len would have never allowed if he were still alive and guarding his basketball baby. Back-channeling is nothing new in professional sports. It happens all the time. Agents, coaches, players and media are in a perpetual dance. It’s why the regular-season report about Stotts’ eroding job se- curity attributed to a “source” was passed along as gospel. Franchise power plays ar- en’t unusual, either, especially when the parties involved smell weakness in the organization and control of Trail Blazers, Inc. feels up for grabs right now. Jeff Chiu/AP file Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach Jason Kidd during a game against the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco in 2020. At the end of the 2002-03 NBA season, Scottie Pippen tried to work behind the scenes to get a small ownership stake in the Trail Blazers. His career was winding down. Pippen’s contract with Portland ended and he reached out to Allen and tried to get a meeting. Pip- pen wanted to discuss the pos- sibility of coming back for one more season with the Blazers in exchange for a small percentage of team ownership. Allen refused to even meet. Said one franchise source: “Paul wouldn’t even call Pip back.” We’re about to learn a lit- tle more about his sister, Jody Allen. The franchise has al- ways been much bigger than one player or person. Lillard is making public demands. I guess I don’t blame him. He’s earned the right to have a vote. I’m surprised long-time Lillard ally and former Portland assis- tant David Vanterpool wasn’t mentioned. That is, unless Van- terpool is so loyal to his former boss (Stotts) that he wouldn’t entertain taking his job. Olshey remains employed, for now, despite orchestrating another first-round playoff dis- appointment. His favorite can- didate appears to be Billups. The franchise is now reality television.

It’s his job to see how much leverage and power Lillard might wrest. There were a lot of glowing things said amid the departure of Stotts. But be sure, if Lillard wanted Stotts to stay, he’d still be em- ployed today. This franchise needs leader- ship. Not just a coach but orga- nizational direction. At the very least what is certain to come from the drama is some clarity on who is running the opera- tion and where it wants to go. Is Lillard digging in? Or just offering a suggestion? Would the Blazers dare to trade Lil- lard at the height of his value? His public demand on Friday marked a sudden tactical shift by a player who has mostly preached loyalty and franchise unity. Lillard has deftly worked behind the scenes to push his agendas in the past. Now, he’s out front, calling his shot. Lillard has three years re- maining on his contract. It’s a one-year player option af- ter that. There’s a line of other franchises forming outside One Center Court ready to make offers for the All-Star should Portland balk at the notion of handing over so much control. It’s not the kind of game you buy a ticket to watch. But we all should have probably seen this coming.
