Ahmed Baig makes cut at Singapore Open after solid two rounds
KARACHI: Pakistan’s leading professional golfer, Ahmed Ali Baig, has advanced to the final rounds of the Singapore Open after producing a composed performance over the first two days of competition at the Tanah Merah Country Club.
Baig, who has been in consistent form this season, carded rounds of 68 and 71 for a two-day total of five-under-par (137) to comfortably make the cut, which was set at four-under-par. His strong play over the first 36 holes has placed him in a tie for 50th position going into the third round.
The 26-year-old from Lahore began the tournament impressively with a four-under 68 in Thursday’s opening round, displaying precision and control throughout.
He produced a flawless front nine with a bogey-free 33, supported by sharp iron play and confident putting, registering 16 greens in regulation and needing only 32 putts overall.
In the second round on Friday, Baig posted a one-under 71 to maintain his position inside the qualifying mark. Despite a slightly slower start that included bogeys on holes 1 and 3, he regained momentum on the back nine, firing birdies on holes 13 and 17 to finish the day under par once again.
His second-round stats reflected 12 greens in regulation and an improved putting performance with just 30 putts.
At the top of the leaderboard, Korea’s Soomin Lee leads the field at 12-under-par, closely followed by a large chasing group at ten-under, including John Catlin, James Piot, and Jeunghun Wang.
LOS ANGELES — Alijah Arenas has practiced for the first time with Southern California’s basketball team as he continues recovering from a knee injury he suffered last summer.
“It feels great to be back,” Arenas said. “I’ve been longing for it. I’m not getting off the court now.”
The freshman guard has been meeting with the coaching staff daily to learn USC’s plays and discuss strategy while rehabbing. The knee injury, diagnosed in July, required surgery.
“It was great to have him back with the rest of the guys,” coach Eric Musselman said Friday. “He’s got such a great basketball IQ and brings a tremendous amount of energy. It looked like he had been a part of practice for quite some time.”
Arenas is aiming to make his collegiate debut in mid-January.
The son of former NBA player Gilbert Arenas was involved in a car crash that led to him being placed in an induced coma in April. He spent six days in the hospital following the single-car crash in which Arenas hit a tree but didn’t suffer major injuries.

He found tight end Austin Hooper on a 2-yard touchdown pass to start the game. Then, he lit it up in the second quarter. He connected with Rhamondre Stevenson, Stefon Diggs and Hunter Henry for touchdown grabs as the Patriots took a 35-3 lead into the locker room at the half.
Before he was taken out of the game, Maye found Efton Chism III for a 10-yard touchdown grab.
Maye finished the game with a perfect passer rating (157.0). He was 19-of-21 with 256 passing yards and was only sacked once. Joshua Dobbs subbed in for Maye before the game was over.

Patriots won the game, 42-10.
Maye became the first Patriots quarterback to throw five touchdown passes since Tom Brady did it in 2017. Brady did it in a win against the Houston Texans on Sept. 24, 2017. Brady had 378 passing yards in that game.
Unlike Brady, Maye isn’t putting up 300-plus yards through the air regularly. He only had one this season despite being a contender for the MVP. He did it for the first time last week against the Baltimore Ravens. He was 31-of-44 for 380 yards and two touchdowns in the 28-24 win.
The Patriots moved to 13-3 on the season with the convincing win over the Jets. It’s the first time they’ve reached at least 13 wins in a single season since the 2016 season. Brady led the Patriots to a Super Bowl victory that year.
