ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. — Maverick McNealy finally became a winner on the final tournament of his fifth year on the PGA Tour, hitting 6-iron to 5 feet for birdie on the 18th hole at Sea Island for a 2-under 68 and a one-shot victory in the RSM Classic. He picked the right time to end nine holes without a birdie, even as so many others were making them to create a four-way tie for the lead. The victory came in his 134th start as a pro, and it sends him to Maui to start the year at The Sentry and to the Masters in April for the first time. Daniel Berger missed a 20-foot birdie attempt on the 18th that preceded McNealy's winner. He tied for second with Nico Echavarria and Florida State sophomore Luke Clanton, both of whom missed par putts from inside 8 feet on the final hole that created the four-way tie. Berger got a small consolation prize, moving inside the top 125 to keep a full PGA Tour card for 2025 when the fields will be smaller and only the top 100 will keep cards. Henrik Norlander, who was No. 126 in the FedEx Cup last year, had a 63-68 weekend and joined Berger as the two players who moved into the top 125. For Joel Dahmen, it was a matter of staying there. He was at No. 124 coming into the final tournament, had to make a 5-foot par putt just to make the cut on the number and then delivered a tee-to-green clinic — along with holing a 113-yard sand wedge for eagle early in his round — for a closing 64. It was enough to stay at No. 124 with nine points to spare. “Two of the biggest pressure moments of my career I showed up, and I can take that going forward,” Dahmen said. Clanton was a shot away from joining Nick Dunlap as amateur winners on the PGA Tour this year. Clanton, who has taken over as the top-ranked amateur in the world, now has two runner-up finishes and four top 10s in the seven PGA Tour starts the last five months. He had the look of a winner, especially with McNealy stuck in neutral, when he poured in birdie putts on the 14th and 16th holes to tie for the lead. But he tugged his approach to the 18th into bunker, blasted out nicely to 7 feet and stooped over in disbelief when he missed his par putt and had to settle for a 66 . “It’s going to be a tough one to definitely take, for sure, after bogeying the last,” Clanton said. “But I think it’s proven to me that out here I can win, so I’ll be training for that.” Echavarria, who won in Japan a month ago, had not made a bogey all day until going long on the 18th, chipping to 9 feet and catching the lip with his par putt. Michael Thorbjornsen was poised to move into the top 125 until he pulled his approach into the water on the par-5 15th hole and made bogey, closing with three pars for a 69. He tied for eighth and finished at No. 129. Thorbjornsen still has a full card next year from being No. 1 in PGA Tour University, but his status won't be as high. McNealy, son of Sun Microsystems co-founder Scott McNealy, had been doing some of his best work outside the ropes, particularly effecting a change in FedEx Cup points distribution to make it more equitable. Missing was a victory, and this one came down to the wire. He went out in 33 and led by two going to the back nine, and then it became a grind. He holed a 15-foot par putt from the fringe on the 11th to stay in the lead, and saved par after going bunker-to-bunker on the 13th. But he dropped a shot with an errant drive on the 14th, and when Echavarria birdied the 15th ahead of him, McNealy was out of the lead for the first time all day. He answered at just the right time, a 6-iron that covered the flag and settled just over 5 feet away. The victory gets him into three $20 million events over the first two months of the year, along with his first trip to the Masters.Title: Setien Takes Over Beijing Guoan and Secures Four New La Liga Signings, Ready to Lead the Team in the Upcoming Season

By Lindsay Shachnow New England natives and residents were not hard to come by on Forbes’ 14th annual 30 Under 30 List , unveiled Tuesday. The Forbes list recognizes leaders from North America within 20 different industries. Boston ranked as one of the top five cities where the listers reside, alongside New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Austin. The list was developed by an independent panel of judges, including Olympic Champion Lindsey Vonn, New York Liberty CEO Keia Clarke, National Geographic Society Chair-person Jean Case, and more, according to a press release . “Over the past decade the 30 under 30 lists have spotlighted over 12,000 young leaders and entrepreneurs around the world,” the statement said. “Forbes lists capture some of the most prominent people and companies that have profound impact at the time of publication.” Boston Celtics’ Jayson Tatum , who has earned five All-Star selections, three All-NBA nods, and the 2023 All-Star Game MVP since the Boston Celtics drafted him in 2017, has also “built a robust portfolio off the court,” Forbes said of the 26-year-old basketball star. Forbes estimates Tatum’s off-court endeavors, including a sneaker deal with Nike’s Jordan Brand and a starring role in Netflix reality series Starting 5 , earn him $13 million annually. In a sitdown interview as part of the list’s announcement, Tatum, who was named a notable honoree on this year’s list, said he wants to “continue to keep getting better.” “As a kid, I was very motivated — I set a bunch of goals for myself, and I’ve been blessed in real time to slowly be able to check off certain boxes that I wanted to accomplish,” he said. Forbes wrote that 2023 was a “breakout year” for Vermont native Noah Kahan, whose folk-pop style music is seven years in the making. Kahan’s album Stick Season climbed to the No. 3 spot on the Billboard 200 last summer and earned him a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist last year. “Kahan’s own tour has also taken off, selling out every show in North America and Europe(,) all while he raised $4 million for his nonprofit The Busyhead Project, which focuses on mental health initiatives,” the New England singer-songwriter’s profile says . Claire Cottrill, publicly known as Clairo, was raised in Carlisle, Massachusetts. She emerged as a singer-songwriter in 2017, when her song “Pretty Girl” went viral on YouTube. The following summer, Clairo opened for Dua Lipa and performed at Lollapalooza. “Clairo has now opened for Boygenius’ shows in 2023, released an EP, and shared a full-length album,” Clairo’s Forbes profile says . “With multiple headlining tours now under her belt, Clairo counts 4 million followers on her Instagram account.” Gabby Thomas, who grew up in Northampton, Massachusetts, was honored on Forbes’ sports list. Thomas helped launch 2024’s Athlos Invitational, a women’s-only track meet, according to her profile. “After winning bronze in the 200 meters and silver in the 4×100-meter relay at the Tokyo Olympics, Gabby Thomas upgraded to gold in both events at the Paris Games, adding a victory in the 4×400 to become the first American track athlete to win three golds in the same Olympics in 12 years,” Forbes wrote . Vermont’s Ilona Maher, a 28-year-old rugby player, helped the United States obtain its first Olympic rugby medal — a bronze at the 2024 Paris Games. In the process, Maher has become a social media sensation, posting Tiktok videos about her life. “She now has more than 7 million social media followers and uses her videos to speak openly on body positivity and the issues she faces as a female athlete,” Maher’s profile reads . Maher was also featured in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition and on ABC’s “Dancing With The Stars.” Coi Leray of Boston, Massachusetts, has added Forbes 30 Under 30 to her list of accomplishments, including 2024 Best Rap Performance and Best Pop Dance Recording Grammy nominations. According to her profile , Coi started making music at age 14, and has now reached 14 million monthly Spotify listeners. She released her first full studio album in 2022, which charted Billboard’s US 200.

The Golan Heights, a plateau in southwestern Syria that was captured by Israel during the Six-Day War in 1967, has long been a point of contention between Israel and its neighboring countries. Despite repeated calls by the international community to return the Golan Heights to Syria, Israel has remained resolute in its position that the region is essential for its security and must remain under Israeli control.Bournemouth's Dean Huijsen celebrates scoring what turned out to be the only goal of the match. LONDON - Bournemouth’s teenage defender Dean Huijsen condemned spluttering Tottenham to a shock 1-0 defeat that dealt another blow to their hopes of finishing in the Premier League’s top four on Dec 5. Huijsen netted in the first half at the Vitality Stadium to leave Ange Postecoglou’s troubled side with just one win in their last six games in all competitions. The 19-year-old defender’s first goal in English football after his close-season move from Juventus exposed the flaws in Tottenham’s error-prone defence. Lacklustre Tottenham were fortunate not to lose by a bigger margin as Andoni Iraola’s team wasted several chances to increase their lead. Tottenham’s sixth league defeat this season was another setback for the under-fire Postecoglou after last weekend’s disappointing 1-1 draw at home to 10-man Fulham. Having wasted a golden opportunity to qualify for the Champions League last season, Postecoglou is beginning to hear criticism of his overly-attacking tactics and this dismal display will add to the Australian’s doubters. Tottenham are languishing in 10th place, six points adrift of the top four heading into their Dec 8 London derby against second-placed Chelsea. Ninth-placed Bournemouth have now beaten Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham at home this season. In keeping with Tottenham’s shoddy performance, Dejan Kulusevski fired straight at Kepa Arrizabalaga in the opening moments. Dominic Solanke scored 21 times for Bournemouth last term before moving to Tottenham in the close-season. The England striker wasted a good chance to enjoy a scoring return to his old club when he blazed over from 10 yards after muscling through on goal. Bournemouth’s Evanilson nearly punished sloppy defending from Radu Dragusin and Destiny Udogie with a close-range effort that Fraser Forster pushed away for a corner. But Tottenham’s reprieve was short-lived as the Cherries took the lead from the resulting set-piece in the 17th minute. Marcus Tavernier curled his corner towards the far post and Huijsen easily escaped Tottenham’s woeful marking to head home from five yards. Tottenham Hotspur’s Dominic Solanke looking dejected after the Dec 5 match. PHOTO: REUTERS Postecoglou angst Tottenham were vulnerable at the back whenever Bournemouth attacked with intent and Forster had to make a superb save to repel Tavernier’s close-range header from Milos Kerkez’s cross. Postecoglou finished the first half shaking his head in frustration and his dejected expression was unchanged after the break. Bournemouth’s Justin Kluivert should have got on the scoresheet early in the second half, but couldn’t beat Forster from a good position. Postecoglou sent on Tottenham captain Son Heung-min, who has only scored four times this season, and the South Korean’s first touch was a goal disallowed for offside. James Maddison curled narrowly wide before Kepa saved well from Pedro Porro’s volley. Ryan Christie smashed against the post from Evanilson’s pass and Tavernier drilled just wide as Bournemouth threatened to blow Tottenham away in the gale-force winds lashing the south-coast. In the other game on Dec 5, Alex Iwobi scored twice as Fulham took advantage of a howler from Brighton keeper Bart Verbruggen to beat the Seagulls 3-1 at Craven Cottage. Fulham’s Alex Iwobi scoring their third goal against Brighton. PHOTO: REUTERS Marco Silva’s men were gifted the lead in the fourth minute when Verbruggen, under minimal pressure, tried to pass to Carlos Baleba on the edge of the area. His wayward ball was intercepted by Iwobi who gratefully tucked the ball into an empty net. Brighton levelled in the 56th minute when Joao Pedro cushioned as pass to Baleba and the highly-rated young midfielder fired past Bernd Leno from 25 yards. But Fulham went ahead again with 11 minutes remaining when Andreas Pereira swung in a corner that skimmed off Calvin Bassey and went in off the back of Brighton’s Matt O’Riley for an own goal. Iwobi sealed the points with three minutes left, spinning away from two Brighton defenders before curling past Verbruggen into the far corner. Fulham move up to sixth place, one point behind fifth-placed Brighton, after their third win in their last five league games.
