Moving Day under the Hollywood Sign lived up to its billing as Nasa Hataoka, Jin Young Ko and Hannah Green attacked from tee-to-green during Round 3 of the 2022 DIO Implant LA Open. Hataoka emerged as the clear-cut favorite with a 4-stroke lead at 11-under par going into Sunday's final round. But the sub-plot was provided by the barranca that rolls throughout Wilshire Country Club. The par-4 17th green is protected on its the side by a prominent wall above and along the barranca. Ko collapsed wi...

The good news for LAFC is that they are tied for first place in the Western Conference three matches into the 2022 MLS season. The better news is that first-year head coach Steve Cherundolo appreciates the results but knows the team needs to be better after they clean-sheeted Inter Miami, 2-0, in a sloppy game exacerbated by the very muggy and windy conditions at DRV PNK Stadium in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. "First away game of the season. It's always important to come away with three points. We...
A dramatic equalizer in the waning minutes by LAFC against the visiting Portland Timbers felt like a victory at Banc of California Stadium on Sunday night.

Picture perfect conditions at Riviera Country Club once again set the tone at the Genesis Invitational on Thursday in Pacific Palisades (97th edition of the Los Angeles Open). Losing no time drafting off the L.A. sports momentum in wake of the Rams' Super Bowl victory, 23-year old Joaquin Niemann from Chile shot a record-tying opening round 63 (-8), to take a three-stroke lead over a low-scoring field. "It's got to be one of my best days on the golf course, especially in a place like this with...
Chants of "Ole, Ole, Ole, Joaquim Niemann!" could be heard moments after the 23-year-old Chilean golfer holed his final shot at the renowned Riviera Country Club to win the 2022 Genesis Invitational in Pacific Palisades. Niemann's historic two-stroke wire-to wire victory over Cameron Young and Collin Morikawa was only the fourth time in the tournament's history that a player lead after all four rounds. The late great Charles Sifford of Los Angeles was the last golfer to accomplish the feat in...
Priceless! The Los Angeles Rams 23-20 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI at SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, was well-worth the six-year effort since owner Stan Kroenke brought the team back to Southern California. It was worth more than the multi-billion dollars he has invested into the Los Angeles area. It was for the players, the coaches, the front office and more importantly... for the fans who have waited since 1967 for the team to win its first Super Bowl in Los Angeles. "It's...
The only question remaining is: Can the Los Angeles Rams deliver the Lombardi Trophy for the very first time to the City of Angels? Head coach Sean McVay and the Rams will get their second shot at the Super Bowl in four years with their focus clearly on the prize.

The...
The football stars are aligning over Southern California. As if by cosmic design the Los Angeles Rams will be participating in their second Super Bowl in the last four years. And it doesn't get any sweeter than beating the archrival San Francisco 49ers, 20-17, in the NFC Championship game at SoFi Stadium last Sunday to get there. The Rams will now face the AFC Champion Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, February 13, in the same Rams House in Inglewood for the NFL's crown jewel, the Vince Lombardi...
The Los Angeles Rams couldn't have planned it any better for the 2021 NFL Playoffs. The NFC West Division champions will host archrival San Francisco 49ers this Sunday in Inglewood. For the first time the Rams will host the NFC Championship game as a Los Angeles franchise and it's only the second time the teams have faced each other in the Playoffs. The game essentially serves as a high-stakes dress rehearsal for Super Bowl LVI, on Sunday, February 13. The matchup was unlikely at the start of De...
1. Green Bay Packers (13-3): The Packers clinched the homefield advantage with their blowout win over the Vikings. The biggest issue the Packers face this week is who to play and who to rest in the final meaningless game against the Lions.

1. Green Bay Packers (12-3): The Packers, with a home game against the Vikings and a road game against the Lions, do not have much standing in the way of their clinching homefield throughout the playoffs.

1. Green Bay Packers (11-3): The Packers have the best record in the NFL and are the No. 1 seed in the NFC.

Los Angeles Rams (10-4): As long as the Rams have a healthy Aaron Donald on...
1. Green Bay Packers (10-3): The Packers are the No. 1 seed in the NFC after the Cardinals loss to the Rams.

The Sonoran Desert continues to be an oasis for the Los Angeles Rams as they beat the Cardinals for the seventh consecutive year at State Farm Stadium in Glendale Arizona. The 30-23 urgent victory seemed unlikely six hours before the NFC West Monday Night Football Showdown, when five Rams became unavailable due to positive COVID tests. Yet, behind defensive tackle Aaron Donald and quarterback Matthew Stafford the Rams climbed back into the Division race. However, by mid-Tuesday the mood was...
