Kaufman wins PGA Shriners event

LAS VEGAS

Smylie Kaufman won the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open on Sunday in his fifth PGA Tour start, shooting a 10-under 61 and waiting more than two hours while rival after rival fell short.

Kaufman played the final 11 holes in 9 under with an eagle and seven birdies.

The 23-year-old former LSU player set up the eagle with a 3-wood drive to 15 feet on the par-4 15th and closed with a 20-foot birdie putt on the par-4 18th to post 16-under 268 at TPC Summerlin.

No. 2 Baylor QB Russell is hurt

WACO, Texas

Playoff hopeful Baylor is facing a potentially huge loss after staying undefeated, with quarterback Seth Russell set to see a specialist for a fractured bone in his neck.

The extent of Russell’s injury won’t be known until after that visit early this week, but the second-ranked Bears (7-0) will almost certainly be without the top-rated FBS passer for at least some time when headed into their toughest stretch of the season.

After Russell got hurt in the Bears’ win over Iowa State on Saturday, coach Art Briles said he was concerned “about his health and then football.”

Briles later told ESPN’s Brett McMurphy that Russell “would probably be out awhile.”

O’Leary retiring as UCF’s coach

ORLANDO, Fla.

A person close to the situation says George O’Leary is retiring as UCF’s football coach, effective immediately.

It comes a day after the Knights dropped to 0-9 with a 59-10 loss to Houston, the worst home defeat in school history. Quarterbacks coach Danny Barrett has been named interim coach, the source says.

It ends a tumultuous season marked by a rash of injuries and dismal on-field play that was punctuated by UCF being ranked last in Football Bowl Subdivision in total offense.

O’Leary agreed to a four-year contract extension in 2014 on the heels of a program-best 12-win season and Fiesta Bowl victory.

The 69-year-old coach leaves UCF with an 81-68 record.

He went 0-11 in his first season at UCF in 2004, but took the Knights to their first-ever bowl appearance in 2005.

It was the first of seven bowl berths the under O’Leary.
