The best photos as LSU gymnastics wins 1st national championship

For the first time, the LSU Tigers are your gymnastics national champions.

The LSU gymnastics team had reached the final round of the NCAA tournament nine times prior to Saturday’s trip. It came up short in all of them.

The 10th time proved to be the charm, however. LSU ended its futility by capturing the program’s first national championship after a historic season. The Tigers, ranked No. 2 in the country and the favorites in the Four on the Floor event, edged out No. 3 California, No. 5 Utah and No. 4 Florida.

LSU finished with a team score of 198.225 with Haleigh Bryant (vault) and Konnor McClain (balance beam) also recording event-high scores.

Here were the photos as the Tigers are national champions for the first time.

Photos of now-former Wisconsin point guard Chucky Hepburn through the years

What was your best memory of Chucky Hepburn’s Wisconsin career?

Wisconsin star point guard Chucky Hepburn shocked Badgers fans earlier this week with his decision to enter the transfer portal.

Hepburn’s decision comes after three years leading the Badgers. He started 103 total games in that time and averaged 9.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 2.1 steals on 40% shooting and 36% from three. His starting production will be lost, but so will his presence as leader of the team.

The news was a harsh dose of reality — painting a clear picture of what the current age of college basketball entails. Five-year players like Tyler Wahl are a thing of the past in the NIL and transfer portal-dominated landscape. Hepburn’s loss is big news for the 2024-25 Badgers, but it also signals the larger trend of the sport.

Greg Gard now moves forward in the transfer portal window needing a few splashes. Wisconsin lost three starters off the 2023-24 team and must reload immediately for a pivotal 2024-25 season.

As the offseason continues and the Badgers work to mitigate the losses of Hepburn, Storr and Wahl, here is a look at the now-former Badger point guard through his college career:

Photos: Chevron Championship 2024 at The Club at Carlton Woods

Here are the best photos from the Chevron.

It’s time for the first women’s major championship of the year.

The 2024 Chevron Championship began Thursday at The Club at Carlton Woods in The Woodlands, Texas, just outside of Houston. Lilia Vu is the defending champion of the event, her first of two major wins last year.

However, the favorite coming in is Nelly Korda, the No. 1 golfer in the world who has won four consecutive LPGA starts heading into the week. However, with all of the best female golfers in the world in the field, it’s going to be a challenge to win her fifth straight.

Here’s a look at the best photos from the 2024 Chevron Championship:

And surprise, surprise, it’s Scheffler coming out on top and putting on a jacket – this time the signature Tarten one – after his three-shot win.

The move will also pair Reese up with her former SEC foe in South Carolina’s [autotag]Kamilla Cardoso[/autotag], who the Sky took third overall. Now, the team has a formidable frontcourt duo.

Photos from LSU baseball’s Game 2 loss to Vanderbilt on Friday night

LSU will look to take the series in Game 3 on Saturday.

The LSU baseball team had a chance to secure its first SEC series win of the year in Game 2 on Friday night against Vanderbilt, and late in the game, it looked like it had a decent chance to.

The Tigers held a 6-5 lead entering the eighth, but a late rally from the Commodores that saw them score three runs in the final two frames ultimately erased that lead and evened the series with an 8-6 win, setting up a rubber match on Saturday.

It was a solid start on the mound from [autotag]Gage Jump[/autotag], who went 5.1 innings and allowed just four runs, but [autotag]Nate Ackenhausen[/autotag] allowed the three late runs in relief.

Here are the photos from the loss, which dropped the Tigers to 3-8 in SEC play.

Photos from LSU baseball’s Game 1 win over No. 6 Vanderbilt

LSU began the weekend with a much-needed top-10 win.

LSU came into the weekend desperately needing a series win, and coach Jay Johnson’s team got the start it needed on Thursday night.

The Tigers snapped a four-game losing streak with a 10-6 victory over the No. 6 Commodores. The bats got going early as LSU jumped out to a 9-0 lead in large part thanks to a six-spot in the third.

[autotag]Luke Holman[/autotag] was fantastic on the mound yet again. Though he allowed four earned runs, he also only gave up four hits while striking out 10 and issuing no walks.

LSU had some issues in relief, allowing six runs in the fourth and fifth innings as Vandy mounted a comeback, but it was too little, too late. Now, the Tigers have a chance to secure a massive series win on Friday night in Game 2.

In the meantime, here are the photos from Thursday’s win.

New logos, old Texas roots on display in 2024 Valero Texas Open merchandise shop

The event is boasting a revamped logo scheme, one that leans even heavier into the tournament’s Texas roots.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas — Now more than a century old, the Valero Texas Open in San Antonio has done some moving in its day.

The tournament — which was previously held at Brackenridge Park, Willow Springs, Fort Sam Houston, Oak Hills Country Club and La Cantera before settling on its current home at TPC San Antonio — started Thursday with one of the strongest fields in decades. Among those vying for the title are world No. 2 Rory McIlroy, Ludvig Aberg, Matt Fitzpatrick, Max Homa, Collin Morikawa, past champion Jordan Spieth, two-time champ Corey Conners and many others looking to get their final Masters prep in.

But while the venue has changed, the logos associated with the tournament have only seen some minor tweaks through the years. That changed in 2024, however, as the merchandise tent is boasting a number of new items and a revamped logo scheme, one that leans even heavier into the tournament’s Texas roots. Some of this is available online but the head covers are exclusive to this shop just off the 18th fairway at the Oaks Course.

Here’s a look at what’s available at the merchandise tent this week:
