Newcomer Lloyd shines in Penguins debut

Youngstown

Youngstown State freshman Caleb Lloyd set a school record in the 60-meter hurdles in his YSU debut as the Penguins opened the season with a strong all-around performance at the YSU Icebreaker on Friday at the WATTS.

Lloyd, younger brother of four-time Horizon League indoor hurdle champion Cassandra Lloyd of Wright State, posted a school-best time of 8.13 seconds in the 60-meter hurdles on Friday. His time broke the mark of 8.22 seconds set back in March 2009 by Jerrill Hall.

Spieth stays in lead; Woods loses ground

WINDERMERE, Fla.

The guy in a red shirt put on quite a show Friday in the Hero World Challenge to get into contention.

That was Patrick Reed — and Tiger Woods watched it all.

Reed was 8 under through 10 holes and settled for a 9-under 63. He played alongside Woods, who showed signs of life on the back nine until ending his day with another flubbed chip shot. Woods shot a 70 and remained in last place.

A 90-minute rain delay kept two players from completing the second round. Jordan Spieth had a two-shot lead and was at 11 under. He chose not to finish the 18th hole. His ball was just short of the green, but Spieth says he couldn’t see the flag from 30 feet away.

Penguins acquire forward Klinkhammer

PITTSBURGH

The Pittsburgh Penguins have acquired forward Rob Klinkhammer and a conditional draft pick from the Arizona Coyotes i for defenseman Philip Samuelsson.

Klinkhammer has three goals in 19 games this season for the Coyotes. He scored 11 goals and added nine assists in 72 games last year with Arizona and will give the Penguins needed depth up front.

Pittsburgh is without injured forwards Beau Bennett and Chris Kunitz. Veteran winger Pascal Dupuis is out for at least the rest of the regular season because of blood clots in his lungs. Samuelsson, the 23-year-old son of longtime NHL defenseman Ulf Samuelsson, played in five games for the Penguins last season. He was a second-round pick in the 2009 draft and was considered one of the organization’s top prospects.
