NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — Jorge Campillo made eight birdies and finished with four in a row for a superb 63 to take the lead after three rounds of the European tour’s Kenya Open on Saturday.The Spaniard moved to 13-under-par overall for the clubhouse lead and no one could overtake that early mark.Campillo is ahead by a shot from Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre, who put himself in the reckoning with a 6-under 65 on the par-71 Muthaiga Golf Club course.MacIntyre came within inches of the lead on his final hole when he nearly sank a wedge for an albatross on No. 18. The ball hit the hole, bounced away, and MacIntyre missed his eagle putt and had to settle for birdie, 12-under overall and one off the lead.Japan’s Masahiro Kawamura (68) and South Africa’s Jayden Schafer (69) were tied for third two shots off the lead and also in the hunt for the title.Campillo began the third round five shots behind compatriot and overnight leader Nacho Elvira, but was on the move with bi...Chelsea beats Leicester 3-1 away to ease pressure on Potter

LEICESTER, England (AP) — Chelsea’s recent revival under Graham Potter continued at Leicester with a 3-1 win in the English Premier League on Saturday, making it three straight wins in all competitions for the London club.Kai Havertz’s fine finish restored the visitors’ lead just before halftime after Patson Daka equalized, and Mateo Kovacic’s volley added the third for Chelsea in the second half.Chelsea forward Joao Felix hit the post and had a goal ruled out by VAR while Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall missed a sitter for the hosts before Leicester’s Wout Faes was sent off late on.After reaching the Champions League quarterfinals by knocking out Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday, Chelsea’s latest win eases the pressure even further on Potter.It was just the second time Chelsea scored three times in a league game, and there was a fluidity and clinical edge which has been lacking this season.For Leicester, the loss edged Brendan Rodgers’ team closer to the relegation zone...Bud Grant, stoic Hall of Fame coach who took Minnesota Vikings to 4 Super Bowls, dies at 95, team announces

LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Dwight McNeil’s goal after just 35 seconds was enough to give Everton another 1-0 win at Goodison Park on Saturday as Sean Dyche’s team climbed two points clear of the English Premier League relegation zone by ending Brentford’s long unbeaten run.McNeil proved effective at both ends of the pitch as the winger’s third goal of the season was accompanied by a second-half goalline clearance.Everton recorded a third victory by a single goal in four home games.McNeil’s strike was Everton’s earliest winning goal in the ground’s 131-year history.Dyche’s team then defended relentlessly as Brentford laid siege to the Everton goal in the second half as the visitor sought to keep alive its 12-game unbeaten league run stretching back to October.Brentford’s club-record top-flight unbeaten streak of 14, set in 1936, was also ended by Everton at Goodison Park.The win lifted Everton to 15th place, two points above the drop zone.___More AP soccer: https://a...Leeds in EPL relegation zone after 2-2 draw with Brighton

LEEDS, England (AP) — Jack Harrison rescued a point for Leeds in a 2-2 home draw against Brighton and it was not enough to lift his side out of the English Premier League relegation zone on Saturday.Harrison curled home a 78th-minute equalizer having earlier scored an own goal to give Brighton a 2-1 lead, as Leeds twice hit back against the in-form visitor.Alexis Mac Allister’s header was canceled out by Patrick Bamford’s equalizer before the break and Harrison made amends for turning the ball into his own net in the second half with a well-taken finish.Leeds dropped into the bottom three before kickoff after Bournemouth’s surprise home win against Liverpool, and stayed in 19th place despite the point. Brighton’s opener came after Pascal Gross picked out Kaoru Mitoma at the far post and his header back across the face of goal was headed home by Mac Allister.Bamford then collected a pass on the edge of the area and crashed home an equalizer via a deflection off Adam Webster and the c...Chelsea wins again, Liverpool loses at Bournemouth in EPL

LONDON (AP) — Chelsea might finally be finding its stride under Graham Potter while Liverpool’s up-and-down season took another nosedive in the English Premier League on Saturday.Chelsea made it three straight wins in all competitions for the first time since October by beating Leicester 3-1 away, another sign that the expensively assembled team is starting to gel under Potter.Liverpool, though, followed its record 7-0 win over archrival Manchester United by losing 1-0 at relegation-threatened Bournemouth — a team it beat 9-0 at home in August. That threw away much of the momentum Liverpool generated recently after a woeful first half of the season, and Jurgen Klopp’s team is six points behind fourth-placed Tottenham in the fight for the final Champions League place, albeit with a game in hand.Tottenham beat Nottingham Forest 3-1 at home after Harry Kane scored twice in the first half.Bournemouth began the day in last place but climbed up to 17th, with Everton also leaving the releg...Visentini sacked as trade union chief after Qatar-scandal cash revelations

The International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) sacked leader Luca Visentini, concluding that he no longer had the organization’s confidence after accepting thousands of euros from an NGO at the center of the Qatar influence-buying scandal.The ITUC said in a statement on Saturday that its General Council decided to organize an extraordinary meeting to elect a new general secretary to succeed Visentini “as soon as is practicable.” The confederation also pledged to consider amendments to its constitution “on the financing of campaigns for ITUC leadership elections, and on financial compliance.” “The events of the past few months have caused significant damage to the ITUC’s reputation,” ITUC President Akiko Gono said in the statement. “Important lessons have been learned and the General Council reiterated the ITUC’s absolute opposition to corruption in any form.”In December, Visentini was one of the first people to be detained by...UCF men’s basketball season ends, NBA decision awaits Taylor Hendricks

UCF’s 5-point loss to Memphis in the AAC tournament quarterfinals Friday night at Dickies Arena fit the overall theme of the season for Johnny Dawkins’ squad.The Knights, who lost 14 games all year long, suffered their 12th defeat by single digits.Dawkins described the close losses as a tribute to his team’s character and leadership.“I’ve been involved with a lot of basketball all [of] my life and there are not too many seasons I’ve had — even with really good [teams] that have gone deep in the postseason — that they didn’t have a game or two where they didn’t have it,” he said after the game in Fort Worth, Texas.“This team, every single night has given us a chance to win and be successful in games.”He credited veteran players such as CJ Kelly and Michael Durr, who completed their college careers with UCF’s season now finished, along with other upperclassmen as one reason the Knights were able to fig...Celebrate St. Patrick's Day at these Irish pubs in San Diego
