AP source: Packers promoting Gutekunst
MILWAUKEE — The Green Bay Packers are pro-
moting director of player personnel Brian Gutekunst
to be the team’s next general manager, a person famil-
iar with the decision told The Associated Press.
The person requested anonymity because the
team has made no formal announcement. Gutekunst
would replace Ted Thompson, who is transitioning to
a senior advisory role in the front office.
Gutekunst has been Green Bay’s player personnel
director for nearly two years, though he has been with
the Packers’ player personnel department for nearly
two decades.
The Houston Chronicle first reported Sunday
that Gutekunst had taken the job.

game.
He chose himself.
In a field that featured the
top five players in the world,
Johnson made a strong opening
statement that a No. 1 ranking
he has held for nearly a year
might be difficult to take away.
Johnson stretched a two-shot
lead to six shots at the turn, then
delivered the biggest moment of
the week with a drive on the par-4
12th hole that stopped 6 inches
from thecupforatap-in eagle. He
also drove the par-414th hole.
He finished at 24-under 268.
The eight-shot margin of victory
was his largest ever, and it was
one short of the tournament re-
cord set by David Duval since
this event moved to Kapalua in
1999. Jordan Spieth also won by
eight shots in 2016.
“I knew I was playing well,
and it’s a golf course I’m really
comfortable on,” Johnson said.
“I was really driving it well this
week. I knew as long as I could
keep doing that, I was going to
do well.”
Jon Rahm made his Kapalua
debut by closing with a 69 to fin-
ish second. The 23-year-old
from Spain moved to No. 3 in
the world.
The way Johnson was play-
ing, everyone was playing for
second.
It was the right call.
Richardson’s layup with 5.1 seconds left capped a
Miami rally from eight points down in the fourth,
Donovan Mitchell missed a jumper for Utah at the
buzzer and the Heat simply stole one in the final mo-
ments to beat the Utah Jazz 103-102 on Sunday.
“He drew it up for me and I was kind of surprised,”
Richardson said.

LaVar Ball tells ESPN Walton has lost Lakers
Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle responded
angrily Sunday after LaVar Ball’s claim that the Los
Angeles Lakers no longer want to play for coach Luke
Walton.
Ball, the outspoken father of Lakers point guard
Lonzo Ball, made his latest outlandish statement to
ESPN for a story published Sunday. He said Walton is
too young to coach and “has no control” of the team —
comments that Walton said didn’t bother him, but
ones that clearly angered some of his NBA coaching
colleagues.
Carlisle, the National Basketball Coaches Associa-
tion president, called the article “a disgrace” and La-
Var Ball’s words an “ignorant distraction.”

“It’s no easy task,” said Rahm,
who lost to Johnson in the final
of Match Play a year ago.
Johnson won for the 17th
time on the PGA Tour, and the
fifth time dating to the Genesis
Open at Riviera last February.
He has 11 straight seasons win-
ning at least one tournament,
the longest current streak on the
PGA Tour.
This one wasn’t even close.
He lost a six-shot lead in the
final round of the HSBC Cham-
pions in Shanghai last fall, his
most recent PGA Tour start. It
only crossed his mind when it
was mentioned to him Saturday.
Johnson doesn’t let much cross
his mind.
“I try to forget everything,” he
said. ‘Whether I win or lose.”
And then he produced an-
other memorable round.
He had a two-shot lead over
Brian Harman, who struggled
mightily with his speed on the
greens and fell back quickly.
Johnson effectively ended the
tournament when he made
three birdies on the opening six
holes, saved par from a front
bunker to a back pin on the
par-3 eighth, and then birdied
the par-5 ninth for a six-shot
lead.

Hubbell, Donohue pull off ice dancing upset
Conley
SAN JOSE, Calif. — With an entertaining and se-
ductive performance that could practically have melt-
ed the ice, Madison Hubbell and partner Zachary Do-
nohue pulled off an ice dancing spoiler to close the
U.S. Figure Skating Championships on Sunday.
The team beat out two-time defending champion
sibling tandem Maia and Alex Shibutani with a score
of 197.12, edging the Shibutanis’ 196.93.
Long afterward, an emotional Hubbell patted her
red cheeks as a sign of just how much this means.
She and Donohue, each 26, are headed to their
first Olympics. Later Sunday, a federation committee
put both duos and the team of Madison Chock and
Evan Bates on the roster for South Korea.

to Troy in the New Orleans Bowl.
Iittrell announced he has hired
former Cowboys running back Tash-

coach late last week. Choice spent last
season at UNT as an offensive quality
control assistant.

Conley worked behind the scenes
to bolster UNT’s relationship with
high school programs in the state the
last two years. He handled several
other responsibilities during his time
at UNT, including travel, scheduling,
budgets and recruiting.
Conley began his high school
coaching career at Mount Vernon in
1972 and went on to coach at Plano
from 1974-80. He led Plano to the
