After Paul Goldschmidt’s 27th homer in the first put the NL West-leaders ahead to stay, the Diamondbacks tacked on enough runs to back All-Star lefty Patrick Corbin’s seven strong innings in a 6-4 victory over the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night. “To get a couple of runs there and get the lead and add on some runs, it’s huge, just get a good feeling going in the dugout,” Corbin said....

(Reuters) - Europe slipped to a crushing 17-11 loss to the United States at the 41st Ryder Cup but they suffered an ever bigger beating outside the ropes in front of massive, raucous galleries at Hazeltine National in Chaska, Minnesota.

AUGUSTA, Georgia (Reuters) - Spain’s Jon Rahm will seek inspiration from the late Seve Ballesteros this week when he makes his first appearance in the U.S. Masters after a stellar start to the season.

The Chinese native, sitting tied for fourth and two shots off the lead overnight, made her move at just the right time on Sunday to wrap up her second victory of 2013 in the LPGA Tour season-ending event. But there was heartbreak for American Natalie Gulbis, who suffered a 10-over par final round to drop from joint first to tied 29th. Feng's six-under final round came courtesy of two birdies in the final four holes, as a four at the par-five 17th moved her to an unassailable target of 15 under, one shot ahead of runner-up Gerina Piller of the United States....

BEDMINSTER, New Jersey (Reuters) - With U.S. President Donald Trump settled in at his Trump National Golf Club for the U.S. Women’s Open, security became a major issue at the third women’s major of the year on Saturday.

After his round, world No.58 Lahiri was tied 26th with a three-day total of six-under 210. The current Asian Tour Order of Merit leader earlier made 69 and 70 in the first two rounds respectively. Bengaluru-based Lahiri, who is playing in his sixth Major, went off to a rollicking start as he birdied the par-four first hole. He scored more birdies on the fourth, ninth and 11th holes. However, two consecutive bogeys on the par-four 13th and par-five 14th marred the 28-year-old’s effort....

How he got there is rather incredible. The Australian pro trailed Matt Kuchar by two strokes on the 18th hole in the final round of the Shell Houston Open on Sunday. He needed a miracle putt to even get within one stroke, and would need Kuchar to miss just to force a playoff round. That's exactly what happened.

The device looks to solve what is slowly but surely becoming the issue with cheaper mainstream media streaming devices – being able to stream in 4K HD.

As the composer of Godfall, MacDougall is responsible for the soaring, emotional highs and solemn lows that players feel throughout the game’s story. Each cutscene, every battle, and even exploration sequences are accompanied by his music that he created with the intent to “add emotional weight to the experience.” Beyond this, he also seems to feel strongly about the new immersive effects of the PS5 and its DualSense controller, lending a similar amount of credence to their capabilties as he does his own music....
