Suzann Pettersen The Solheim Cup was overshadowed by an argument over one moment in one match, one of the fourballs that had been pushed back to the final day because of bad light. Alison Lee prodded the ball to within 18 inches of the 17th hole and then stooped to pick it up, believing her short putt had been conceded, only for Pettersen to insist no concession had been made….

BOSTON — Long before each newly inducted member of the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame became an important part of American hockey history, there was a moment when they each fell in love with the game. That was certainly the case with Angela Ruggiero, Chris Drury and Ron DeGregorio. Mathieu Schneider (New York, N.Y.), had a different outlook when asked for his first connection with the game. “It’s…

Sports Direct is to launch a review of all agency staff terms and conditions, which it said would be overseen personally by its founder Mike Ashley.

He had this…

I don’t know how many hundreds of thousands were watching, but the only ones who missed it — even during replays — were with NBC, the network that televised it. Or was it that NBC, after years of encouraging and rewarding such behavior, chose not to see it? Sunday night, Patriots defensive lineman Jabaal Sheard sacked Texans quarterback Brian Hoyer, then got busy doing an obligatory dance of excessive self-affection. As Sheard…

Dolph Ramseur isn’t the most likely person to manage The Avett Brothers. Ramseur had no musical background — other than being an appreciative listener — when he started Ramseur Records in Concord, North Carolina. In fact, until July 2000 his instrument of choice was a tennis racquet. “I taught tennis at country clubs including Forsyth Country Club, and I was the tennis director for Hanes Park in Winston-Salem from 1993-95,”…

Quarterback Brandon McIlwain will sign with the Gamecocks and enroll in January, he announced Thursday. “I’ve decided to forgo the MLB draft and enroll early to play baseball and football at SC,” he tweeted. The decision means McIlwain, a two-sport star from Newtown, Pa., will skip his chance to be a part of June’s Major League Baseball draft. He has been committed to South Carolina since Dec. 31, 2014.

A huge photo of Antonio Castro’s father flanks the scoreboard of the main baseball stadium in Matanzas, a bay city about 60 miles east of Havana. There’s another one under the grandstands, just as there are murals of the old man — bearded and in green fatigues, gripping a bat — throughout most of island’s stadiums. From an early age, former Cuban President Fidel Castro immersed his son in two…

Since he left town to play for the Chicago Cubs, much of the sports talk in St. Louis has been about Jason Heyward. Before he made that decision, he was presented as precious cargo, even a division-winning talent. Post-decision, his skills are marginal, his motives questionable, his impact minimal. It’s a natural process, the reverse caterpillar-to-butterfly mutation. But there are other aspects to the migration north that shouldn’t be ignored….
