LOS ANGELES (AP) Moriya Jutanugarn took a one-shot lead into the weekend at the HUGEL-JTBC LA Open in her latest bid to join younger sister Ariya as an LPGA Tour winner.

Moriya Jutanugarn shot a bogey-free 5-under 66 on Friday at Wilshire Country Club to get to 8-under 134 in the LPGA Tour’s first event in Los Angeles since 2005.

”I just want to keep playing my game,” she said. ”If it’s my time, then it’ll turn out good.”

The 23-year-old from Thailand hit 16 of 18 greens in regulation. She started fast with birdies on the par-5 second, par-4 third and par-3 fourth and added two more on the par-4 11th and par-5 13th.

”The key for this week is just stay away from the bunkers,” she said.

Ariya Jutanugarn has seven tour victories. She was even par after a second 71.

”I’m trying to beat her all the time,” Moriya Jutanugarn said.

Marina Alex was second after a 68.

”I think it’s a nice, fun golf course,” Alex said. ”You’ve got a lot of variation, some shor..

RIDGEDALE, Mo. (AP) John Daly and Michael Allen took the second-round lead Friday in the cool and breezy Bass Pro Shops Legends of Golf.

RABAT, Morocco (AP) Alvaro Quiros shot a solid 2-under 70 in windy conditions to push into a one-shot lead after two rounds of the Trophee Hassan II in Morocco on Friday.

Quiros fought the elements, carding seven birdies and five bogeys to move to 7 under overall and take the outright lead at the halfway point of the European Tour event.

The Spaniard was one clear of Andrew Dodt, who moved into contention with a 4-under 68 at the Royal Golf Dar Es Salam course. Dodt dropped two shots in his first six holes but the Australian recovered from that shaky start to collect four birdies and an eagle.

Erik van Rooyen of South Africa was another shot back in third on 5 under after his 71.

Bradley Dredge of Wales, who shared the first-round lead with Quiros, slipped off the pace with a 1-over 73. He’s tied for fourth with Austin Connelly of Canada (71), 4 under par and three shots behind Quiros.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) Zach Johnson rode the momentum of a big finish to a 7-under 65 and a share of the early lead with Ryan Moore at the Valero Texas Open.

Johnson was 2 over through 13 holes in the first round when he finished with an eagle and three straight birdies. He then ran off six birdies over an eight-hole stretch Friday.

Moore birdied three of his last five holes on the AT&T Oaks Course at the TPC San Antonio for a 67. He and Johnson were at 9-under 135, three shots ahead of Ben Crane (66).

U.S. Open champion Brooks Koepka was out of golf so long he forgot where he put his clubs when finally healthy enough to start hitting balls.

Now he’s back to work, and he’s ready to play.

Koepka plans to play the Zurich Classic next week in New Orleans, ending a 15-week hiatus from a left wrist injury so severe he was in a soft cast for two months and didn’t touch a club for 91 days.

”It feels like I’ve been out for six months,” Koepka said. ”I still have confidence. I feel like I can win next week.”

Koepka won the Dunlop Phoenix on the Japan Golf Tour last November, and the next week he was hitting balls to get ready for the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas when he felt pain in his left wrist.

It hurt all week in the Bahamas, where he finished last against an 18-man field. Koepka didn’t touch a club until going to Kapalua for the Sentry Tournament of Champions. He finished last against a 34-man field.

And then he stepped away.

On its face, yes, David Copperfield being forced to hand over the dark secrets of a decades-old magic trick in a courtroom setting sucks. Magic is fun! Magic is one of the only reliable express lanes back to your sweet-eyed childhood, back to belief, back to wonders and delight and the inability to believe what your senses are showing you. I watched every David Copperfield special NBC produced in the ‘80s, and I watched my grandfather make four jacks mystically travel to the top of the deck, and I smiled every last time. I love Penn and Teller, but not for a minute did I want to watch them pull the curtain back, never wanted to give over one lousy ratings point to that jackass Magician Who Explains Everything on Fox. There’s so little to blow us away in our daily travels — why would I want some jag on Garbage Network to blow holes in my beliefs? I choose to believe the show, the wonder. It’s why I liked this guy so much.
But then you read what really happened in Copperfield’s trick, an..

The latest Avengers: How The Hell We Gonna Get Everyone Screen Time? comes out in a week, one of the few remaining films in the industry that feels like an “event.” Which could explain why the Deadpool sequel is getting somewhat lost in the shadows. Thanks to a breakthrough viral marketing campaign and a funny, sharp, keenly self-aware presentation, it was a movie that showed a superhero story didn't have to choose the well-worn avenues of cheesy or overtly dark. Better yet, it was finally the star-making vehicle Hollywood has been waiting for from Ryan Reynolds.
But while Reynolds is returning for Round 2, the breakout star, at least from the final Deadpool 2 trailer, is…Peter.
Actually, it's comedian Rob Delaney, who plays Peter, an average Joe who learns that Deadpool is putting together a super-duper team and wants to join.
Better yet, Reynolds confirmed that Peter has his own Twitter account…

Sean GardnerIf LeBron James murdered Jusuf Nurkic last month, then Anthony Davis buried him in the ground and had his funeral, and then danced on his grave Thursday night. Sorry if this got dark.
In game three of the first round series between the New Orleans Pelicans and Portland Trail Blazers, New Orleans continued its absolute dismantling of Portland, the Western Conference's supposed 3-seed that's not even putting up a fight. With the game still somewhat within reach at the Smoothie King Center, Pelicans guard Ian Clark launched a three from the corner that bricked. Nurkic thought he had an easy rebound until Davis came barreling down the lane to utterly embarrass him, and it somehow got worse afterwards. Check out the full play:

The Historic Vehicle Association—a national organization dedicated to the preservation of the most important, unforgettable automobiles in human history—has returned to Washington D.C. for their fourth annual Cars at the Capital event. Juxtaposing works of four-wheeled art against the cherry-blossomed backdrop of the National Mall, Cars at the Capital is both a glimpse into America's automotive past and the literal embodiment of car porn, for those of you still afraid to Google it.
