GLF–MASTERS-CHINESE FIR
It is the only hole at Augusta National that doesn’t have a bunker. No other hole on the back nine is shorter. Rory McIlroy watched the Masters every year
when he was younger and didn’t see what was so difficult about the 440-yard 14th
hole until he had to try it himself. ”There’s a 3-yard square you have to hit
it
Chris Jones Jersey ,” he said. Sitting between the dynamic par 5s on the back nine, the hole called ”Chinese Fir” has played a key role over the years. By

GLF–MASTERS-GOOD BEHAVIOR
PALM HARBOR, Fla. – Golf is getting younger, and the PGA Tour is going after its slice of the new generation to build a fan base. That has brought more
energy, more volume and raucous behavior that has led to some high-profile
players asking that fans be removed. Rory McIlroy suggested limiting alcohol
sales. PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan says it’s a good problem to have. But
it won’t be a problem at the Masters

HKN–ONE FOR 1,000
Chicago Blackhawks defenseman Brent Seabrook and Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin are the latest of only about 60 NHL players to reach 1,000 games
with a single franchise. But that number will grow significantly in the coming
years as stars and core players choose to re-sign with their current teams long
term because of the collective bargaining agreement and hockey’s lean toward
security over movement. By Hockey Writer Stephen Whyno. UPCOMING: 700 words,

Cornerback Justin Coleman is remaining with the Seattle Seahawks after signing his restricted free agent tender with the club.
Coleman was a breakout performer for the Seahawks in 2017 after being acquired from New England in exchange for a seventh-round pick just before the
start of the season. Coleman signed a second-round tender on Wednesday that is
expected to pay him $2.9 million for the 2018 season. Coleman could have signed
an offer sheet with another team but Seattle would have the option to match.
With the departure of Richard Sherman and Seattle not expected to bring back
Jeremy Lane, Coleman could have an even more prominent role in 2018.
Coleman became Seattle's primary nickel cornerback, a role that has grown in importance. He finished last season with 35 tackles, nine passes defensed and
two interceptions, both of which he returned for touchdowns.
