He then finished his afternoon round with his sixth birdie of the day to shoot a 7-under 64, which was tied late in the day by 56-year-old Bob Estes.

He is serving decades in prison for assaulting female athletes and possessing child pornography.

Golf – Senior PGA – Steven Alker, Bob Estes share Senior PGA lead at 64 On a day when birdies were flying around Harbor Shores in the first round of the Senior PGA Championship, Steven Alker began soaring with an eagle. The 50-year-old New Zealander, who already has won twice and leads the PGA Tour Champions money list with almost $1.2 million, started his round with a 25-foot downhill eagle putt on the 539-yard, par-5 10th hole after a 240-yard approach with a 5-wood. He then finished his afternoon round with his sixth birdie of the day to shoot a 7-under 64, which was tied late in the day by 56-year-old Bob Estes. Alker and Estes were a stroke ahead of Paul Claxton and Mike Weir after the first round at the Jack Nicklaus-design course on Lake Michigan.

The May 20 memorandum from Michael Hill, the MLB senior vice president for on-field operations, asks teams to provide documentation by June 3 of the facilities for home and visiting female coaches and staff. Hill told teams to comply with MLB regulations “as soon as possible.” San Francisco Giants assistant coach Alyssa Nakken this year became the first woman to work as an on-field coach for a big league team.

Nassar – No charges for agents in botched Larry Nassar probe The U.S. Justice Department says it won’t pursue criminal charges against former FBI agents who failed to quickly open an investigation of sports doctor Larry Nassar. Agents knew in 2015 that Nassar was accused of sexually assaulting female gymnasts. Nassar wasn’t arrested until 2016. The Office of Inspector General found that two former agents likely provided “inaccurate or incomplete information” when investigators subsequently tried to understand what happened. But the Justice Department says more would be needed to file charges. Nassar was a Michigan State University sports doctor as well as a doctor at USA Gymnastics. He is serving decades in prison for assaulting female athletes and possessing child pornography. WNBA – Women’s National Basketball Association Tonight Los Angeles Sparks at Indiana Fever, 7:00 p.m. Tennis – French Open – Only 3 of women’s top 10 seeds remain The unexpected results in the women’s draw at the French Open keep piling up.

No. 9 Danielle Collins lost to Shelby Rogers in a matchup between two Americans. Two-time Grand Slam champion Simona Halep said she had a panic attack while leading her second-round match that she eventually lost.

She ran her winning streak to 30 matches by beating Alison Riske 6-0, 6-2.  The other two top 10 seeds still standing are No. 3 Paula Badosa and No. 7 Aryna Sabalenka.

Chapter 1

Sara Chrisman is assistant professor of pediatrics  at the University of Washington School of Medicine  and was the lead on the study. She spoke with the University of Washington about the results of the study… The researchers  found that  parents who were female, college-educated, and had greater perceived risk for concussion were most likely to support age restrictions. An estimated 63 percent of mothers and 58 percent of fathers would support a minimum age for tackling in football, or 61 percent of parents overall. An additional 24 percent of parents would maybe support a minimum age for tackling in youth football. Only 15 percent were opposed. In a statement yesterday, CFL Commissioner Randy Ambrosie announced Football Canada's plans to phase out tackle football for youth players Guest: Dr. Chris Nowinski CEO of the Concussion Legacy Foundation Author of Head Games: The Global Concussion Crisis
