Rodgers earns Pro-am win at Pebble Beach

-

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers finally gets his name on the Wall of Champions behind the first tee at Pebble Beach, joining a long list that includes Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer.

Justin Rose would love nothing better than to be on an adjacent plaque for winning the PGA Tour event at Pebble.

Rose, whose third round was suspended because of strong winds, returned Sunday morning at Monterey Peninsula by playing 10 holes in 6 under for a 65 that gave him a one-shot lead in the Pebble Beach Pro-Am.

The final round started Sunday afternoon, featuring only profession­als, and the tournament will finish until Monday.

“It’s really significan­t,” Rodgers, 39, said. “It’s been on my bucket list.”

Rodgers and Silverman, who missed the profession­al cut, finished at 26 under, one shot ahead of Peter Malnati and Don Colleran, the retired president and CEO of FedEx.

NFL: The Panthers agreed to terms with Ejiro Evero to make him the team’s defensive coordinato­r on new head coach Frank Reich’s staff. Evero, 42, was the Broncos’ defensive coordinato­r this season.

NHL: The Islanders and center Bo Horvat, 27, agreed to an eight-year extension, six days after joining the team in a trade from the Canucks.

Tennis: Unseeded American Alycia Parks secured a stunning 7-6 (7), 7-5 upset win over WTA Finals champion and top seed Caroline Garcia in the Open Métropole de Lyon final to clinch her first career title. The 22-yearold Parks is ranked 79th.

Women’s basketball:

Aliyah Boston scored 23 of her 26 points in the second half, including 14 in the fourth quarter, to help No. 1 South Carolina beat fifth-ranked UConn 81-77 in Hartford, Conn. The Gamecocks (23-0) have won 29 consecutiv­e games, including against the Huskies in last season’s national title game.
