FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Ryan Palmer was standing in the fairway on his last hole Thursday when his longtime caddie and fellow Colonial member issued a challenge.

Palmer hit his approach to 5 feet at the 388-yard ninth...

ATLANTA (AP) — Evan Gattis took a long, strange road to the big leagues.

Now that he's finally made it, he's sure taking advantage of the opportunity.

The 26-year-old Atlanta Braves rookie has already hit 10 homers, which ranks fifth in the National League, and he's second on the team with 27 RBIs. He's had a penchant for the dramatic, with four of his homers coming in the eighth inning or later, all of them driving in the tying or go-ahead runs....
