RABAT, Morocco (AP) A birdie on the last hole gave Alvaro Quiros a one-shot lead to take into the final round of the Trophee Hassan II.

Quiros’ birdie four on No. 18 allowed the Spanish golfer to sign for a level-par 72 on Saturday to stay at 7-under par overall and clear of four players queued up in second place.

South African pair Erik van Rooyen and Christiaan Bezuidenhout, France’s Alexander Levy, and Finland’s Mikko Ilonen were just a shot behind on 6 under heading into the last day at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam in Rabat.

Quiros is a seven-time winner on the European Tour but went six years without a victory until last year and his triumph at the Rocco Forte Open in Italy.

He’s seeking a wire-to-wire victory in Morocco after sharing the first-round lead with Bradley Dredge before taking it outright on day two.

Quiros had an on-off day in the third round – he said it was ”suddenly great shot, suddenly not so good” – and carded four birdies and four bo..

Move over Gus Johnson, there's a new king of insane calls by sports broadcasters, and his name is Marc Moser. Wait, who is Marc Moser?
Apologies to “The Mose”, but it's fair to say that no one outside of Colorado regularly listens to Avalanche hockey games, and apparently, that's a big mistake on our part. Because if Moser brings the energy to every game like he brought to the Avs' game 5 victory over the Nashville Predators on Friday night, then we've been missing out on some epic calls in sports radio history.
After tying the game at one apiece with under five minutes to play, Colorado came out of the Nashville zone on a 2-on-1 with 90 seconds remaining, eventually scoring the game-winning goal in heart-crushing fashion. Moser seized the moment, and produced a call that should be immediately placed in the Hockey Hall of fame regardless of what the Avs do in game six:

Icon SportswireIf you've watched any of the NHL Playoffs, you've noticed that each home team's arena has been absolutely electric, as they should be in the postseason. While it's unfair to claim any one fanbase is the most rabid, it sure does seem like Winnipeg Jets fans might take the cake in 2018.
The Jets fans signature whiteout, which dates back to the original franchise's playoff runs in 1987, is a sight to behold, and somehow 15,000+ in Bell MTS Place not only dress in unison, but they chant in unison. It makes for possibly the most wild atmosphere in the playoffs, and it gave the Minnesota Wild absolute fits in a quick five-game series that Winnipeg ended on Friday night. In three games at home, the Jets outscored Minnesota 12-3, including Friday's 5-0 drubbing, sending the Wild packing in the first round for the third consecutive season.
Often you'll hear the unoriginal “have fun golfing!” barb from an opposing fan base when they bounce your t..

Rich SchultzAfter an incredible, too good to be true start to the season, the New York Mets have begun to regress to the mean. The club is still at 14-5 and on top of the NL East, but they're 11-1 start was followed by a 3-4 skid, including a pair of disappointing losses to the division-rival Washington Nationals. Part of the reason they've struggled has been due to the lack of production from Yoenis Cespedes.
Cespedes didn't exactly start the season on a tear, but in his first 22 at-bats he had six hits, three of them homers, and seven RBIs. Since then he's gone 10-for-55, with just one extra-base hit and one homer, which was a grand slam, to be fair. It hasn't been a Giancarlo Stanton-esque slump, but it's a slump of sorts, and one the Mets need their slugger to snap out of to keep their foot on the gas in the NL East Division race. After a victory over the Atlanta Braves on Friday night, Cespedes was asked about his problems at the plate, and he had a g..

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.
