PINEHURST, N.C. -- For only the second time, golfs oldest major championship will be played in Northern Ireland when the British Open returns to Royal Portrush Golf Club in 2019. Media reports from Ireland and the United Kingdom said the Royal & Ancient, golfs governing body outside the United States and Mexico, will make the formal announcement Monday. The R&A denied reports about a return to Portrush last summer, saying the course was championship-calibre but questioning whether the infrastructure could accommodate the events big galleries. There was speculation that R&A officials may have changed their minds after Ted Bishop, president of the PGA of America, said last November that his group was interested in Portrush as a venue for the PGA Championship if the event was to be held outside the United States. The earliest date that might happen would be 2020. Major champions and Northern Irishmen Rory McIlroy, Darren Clarke and Graeme McDowell had been lobbying on Portrushs behalf. "Ive been kind of hesitant to comment because I really didnt want to take anything away from the official announcement," said McDowell, who was three shots off the lead Thursday after the opening round of the U.S. Open at Pinehurst. "So Im very proud of where I grew up. Im very proud of the tradition and history there, and to bring an Open Championship back to Northern Ireland is very special. It speaks volumes about how far the country has come." The only time the Open was only played outside England and Scotland was 1951, when Max Faulkner won at Portrush. The 2012 Irish Open was played at Portrush, with more than 100,000 fans attending the event. Adidas Nmd r1 Outlet .

How about runners on first and second and one out in a tied game in Kansas City? In extra innings, no less. Petricka induced a double-play grounder to end the Royals threat, and then watched Conor Gillaspie hit a leadoff homer in the 12th inning that powered Chicago to a 4-3 victory and its first three-game sweep in Kansas City in more than four years. "We were just waiting for the right time," Petricka said with a smile. "Guess tonight was it." Addison Reed preserved Chicagos season-best sixth straight win, and the first of Petrickas career, when he left the tying run on second base for his 34th save. Reed walked Billy Butler to start the 12th, and pinch runner Jarrod Dyson swiped second base with nobody out. Reed recovered to strike out pinch hitter David Lough, and Chris Getz lined out to shortstop. Reed then retired Emilio Bonifacio on a lazy fly ball to end the game. "I felt like I had enough to get through another night," said Reed, who has closed out each of Chicagos last six wins. "If Im in, its a good thing. Im going to do everything I can to prepare myself if I need to throw the ninth tomorrow." Gillaspies homer came off Luke Hochevar (3-2), and just cleared the outstretched glove of right fielder Justin Maxwell. It bounced off a sign behind the wall and back into play, and for a moment there was some question whether it should have been a ground-rule double. "I was close," Maxwell said. "I had a pretty good bead on it." Not good enough, though. Replays showed it was clearly a homer, one that doomed the Royals to their fifth straight loss and eighth in the last 10 games overall. "Theyre grown men. Theyve got to pull themselves out of it," Royals manager Ned Yost said of the slide. "Theyve got to find a way to get out of this." Emilio Bonifacio, Alcides Escobar and Jamey Carroll each drove in a run for the Royals in the fifth inning. AAlexei Ramirez, Dayan Viciedo and Josh Phegley had RBIs for the White Sox.dddddddddddd Early on, James Shields and Carlos Quintana were engaged in quite a pitching duel. Shields worked around a pair of singles in the first, and then retired 10 straight White Sox batters before Avisail Garcia singled to lead off the fifth. Quintana set down the first nine Royals he faced, including four strikeouts in the first two innings. His run ended with a leadoff single by Alex Gordon in the fourth. The Royals finally broke through in the fifth inning in very Royals-esque fashion. The light-hitting club managed to load the bases on a walk by Billy Butler and back-to-back singles by Maxwell and Mike Moustakas. Bonifacio followed with an RBI single, and Escobar and Carroll added back-to-back sacrifice flies to give the Royals a 3-0 lead. Yep, three runs on a walk, three singles and two sacrifice flies. The White Sox got two of the runs back in the sixth. The first came home on a one-out single by Ramirez, and the second on a blooper to centre by Viciedo that fell just beyond the outstretched glove of Escobar retreating from shortstop and just in front of centre fielder Dyson. Phegleys double off first base and into right field tied it in the seventh. Shields and Quintana were both done after seven innings. Shields allowed nine hits and struck out eight without a walk, while Quintana allowed four hits with seven strikeouts and one walk. "You never want to get swept. We had a great effort tonight. We just have to keep grinding it out," Shields said. "Weve got a lot of character in this team. We dont have any quit in us. Weve just got to keep grinding it out."
