NASSAU, Bahamas — Justin Thomas was long off the tee and made a few long putts on the back nine to overtake Scottie Scheffler with a 6-under 66 and build a one-shot lead Saturday over golf's best player going into the final round of the Hero World Challenge. Thomas is trying out a 46-inch driver — a little more than an inch longer than normal — that he previously used for practice at home to gain speed and length. He blasted a 361-yard drive to 8 feet on the par-4 seventh hole and led the field in driving distance. But it was a few long putts that put him ahead of Scheffler, who had a 69. Thomas was on the verge of falling two shots behind when he made an 18-foot par putt on the par-3 12th hole. On the reachable par-4 14th, he was in a nasty spot in a sandy area and could only splash it out to nearly 50 feet. He made that one for a most unlikely birdie, while behind him Scheffler muffed a chip on the 13th hole and made his lone bogey of a windy day. People are also reading... Scheffler never caught up to him, missing birdie chances on the reachable 14th and the par-5 15th. Thomas hit his approach to 3 feet for birdie on the 16th after a 343-yard drive. Scheffler made an 18-foot birdie putt on the 16th to close within one. Scheffler missed birdie chances on the last two holes from the 10-foot and 15-foot range, while Thomas missed an 8-foot birdie attempt at the last. "I had a stretch at 13, 14, 15 where I felt like I lost a shot or two there, but outside of that I did a lot of really good things today," Scheffler said. Thomas hasn't won since the 2022 PGA Championship at Southern Hills, and a victory at Albany Golf Club wouldn't count as an official win. But the two-time major champion has made steady progress toward getting his game back in order. "I'm driving it great. I've had a lot of confidence with it," Thomas said of his longer driver. "I feel like I've been able to put myself in some pretty good spots going into the green. I'm still not taking advantage of some of them as much as I would like, but that's golf and we're always going to say that." Thomas was at 17-under 199 and will be in the final group Sunday with Scheffler, who is trying to end his spectacular season with a ninth title. Tom Kim put himself in the mix, which he might not have imagined Thursday when he was 3 over through six holes of the holiday tournament. Kim got back in the game with a 65 on Friday, and then followed with 12 birdies for a 62. He had a shot at the course record — Rickie Fowler shot 61 in the final round when he won at Albany in 2017 — until Kim found a bunker and took two shots to reach the green in making a double bogey on the par-3 17th. Even so, he was only two shots behind. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley (68) was four back. "Feel like I've been seeing signs of improvement, which is what you want and that's all I can do," Thomas said. "I can't control everybody else or what's going on, I've just got to keep playing as good as I possibly can and hope that it's enough come Sunday."

BOSTON (AP) — Two men, including a dual Iranian American citizen, have been arrested on charges that they exported sensitive technology to Iran that was used in a drone attack in Jordan that killed three American troops early this year and injured dozens of other service members, the Justice Department said Monday. The criminal case in federal court in Massachusetts charges the men, identified as Mahdi Mohammad Sadeghi and Mohammad Abedininajafabadi, with export control violations. U.S. officials blamed the January attack on the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, an umbrella group of Iran-backed militias that includes Kataib Hezbollah. Three Georgia soldiers — Sgt. William Jerome Rivers of Carrollton, Sgt. Breonna Moffett of Savannah and Sgt. Kennedy Sanders of Waycross — were killed in the Jan. 28 drone attack on a U.S. outpost in northeastern Jordan called Tower 22. In the attack, the one-way attack drone may have been mistaken for a U.S. drone that was expected to return back to the logistics base about the same time and was not shot down. Instead, it crashed into living quarters, killing the three soldiers and injuring more than 40. Tower 22 held about 350 U.S. military personnel at the time. It is strategically located between Jordan and Syria, only 10 kilometers (6 miles) from the Iraqi border, and in the months just after Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel, and Israel’s blistering response in Gaza, Iranian-backed militias intensified their attacks on U.S. military locations in the region. Following the attack, the U.S. launched a huge counterstrike against 85 sites in Iraq and Syria used by Iran's Revolutionary Guard and Iranian-backed militia and bolstered Tower 22’s defenses.

Nearing halftime of Chicago's Week 16 matchup with the , Williams saw Allen throw a head fake and execute the same double move to create separation. This time, Williams didn't hesitate. He lasered a pass that Allen caught in stride for a 45-yard touchdown. It was one of Williams' best throws of the season despite the Bears suffering their ninth straight loss. That has been the narrative of Williams' season in general: individual growth set against the backdrop of team dysfunction and failure. Consider that despite the second-longest losing streak in franchise history, Williams has set an NFL record for the most passes (326) without an interception by a rookie QB, and if he continues on this pace, he'll end up with third-most passing yards in Bears history. "Keep swinging," coach Thomas Brown said of Williams' approach. "Shooters shoot, and he definitely shoots, which I appreciate. So I'm going to give him opportunities to shoot." Against the Lions, Williams recorded his fourth game with at least 300 passing yards and two passing touchdowns. It ties the mark set by in 2018 for the most such games in a single season by a Bears QB over the past 20 years. Williams accomplished that after putting two first-half fumbles behind him to lead three scoring drives on a day when the Bears' offense looked the best it had in weeks. Their 14 first-half points were the most since a Week 6 win over Jacksonville. In recent weeks, Williams has accumulated the majority of his passing production while playing from behind. While Williams was quick to admit he doesn't put much stock in his stats, the type of growth the rookie is exhibiting in a lost season isn't lost on his teammates. "You have moral wins, moral victories," Allen said. "It's good to score. "Obviously, just being able to be productive on offense, getting better, Caleb being able to get more reps, seeing different things on defense and ultimately just being able to get better throughout the season [is important]." Through 15 games, Williams has thrown for 3,271 yards, sixth most in a single season in franchise history. If he continues his season average of 218.1 passing yards over Chicago's next two games against Seattle (8:15 p.m. ET Thursday, Prime Video) and Green Bay (Jan. 5), he'll finish with roughly 3,707 yards. Williams might not erase the Bears' notoriety as the only NFL franchise to never have a 4,000-yard passer or a QB who passed for 30 touchdowns, but considering he has changed offensive coordinators and head coaches midseason while being sacked a league-high 60 times, his transition to the NFL has included unique obstacles. "There's no question that this guy is talented," Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson said last week. "I remember standing on the sideline last game [against the Bears on Nov. 28] and you can hear the ball whistle by you. "He's got quite a fastball, has some creativity to him, can extend plays and is accurate down the field as well." Johnson, who is one of the hottest names this coaching cycle, is expected to be pursued by the Bears. And the presence of Williams is perhaps the most attractive aspect of the job. In fact, Williams has played some of his best football in front of Johnson. In two games against Detroit, Williams has 681 passing yards, five touchdown passes and no interceptions. According to NFL Research, Williams has lost nine starts in which he hasn't thrown an interception, which is the most such losses in a single season since 1950. His 326 passes without turning the ball over is 100 attempts more than the previous rookie streak held by the Arizona Cardinals' (211). The New York Jets' has the overall record at 402. There are specific areas where Williams has demonstrated the most growth. In Week 16, the rookie had his best game as a downfield passer, going 6-of-8 for 160 yards and a touchdown on throws of 15-plus air yards. He routinely got the ball into the hands of his playmakers, throwing a career-high 286 yards to his wide receivers. Allen (694 receiving yards), (826) and (701) form the only group of wide receivers to be in the top 50 in receiving yards. And with a heavy dose of play-action against the Lions, Brown's playcalling has aided the quarterback in matching a career-high with 12 play-action pass attempts in which he threw for 109 yards and a touchdown. All of that has added up to a season never experienced by a rookie quarterback in Chicago. And with two weeks remaining, Williams is taking aim at cleaning up the details. When asked for specific areas he has focused on improving before heading into the offseason, the quarterback zeroed in on several issues. "Fumbles that I've had for 2-3 weeks now, I think turnovers, they're obviously a part of the game, but trying to eliminate those only helps our chances of winning," said Williams, who has lost four fumbles on the season. "Being able to just keep being efficient, the most that I can, and that doesn't just mean when I throw the football. That's with all the alerts, the time, the play clock, making sure cadence and things like that, helping offensive linemen out, whatever the case may be."

News Don't miss out on the headlines from News. Followed categories will be added to My News. I’m excited for 2025. I think it’s because I like quarters. An orange quartered is eminently more agreeable than having to peel the thing. Quarters in AFL and basketball make the games somehow more suspenseful, and I like that the tax office demands a quarterly business activity statement from me. Keeps things neat. I especially like first quarters because with three more ahead there’s still plenty of time to correct or come good. Leonardo DiCaprio’s dating habits are as old as his blockbuster hit Titanic. Which is where we’ll find ourselves in 2025. A quarter of the way through a new century that has galloped out of the blocks, particularly when it comes to technological and social change. Who would have thought on the eve of this new Millennium that 25 years on AI might’ve written this column (it didn’t), that driverless cars would be on the road, that gender would be a spectrum not an absolute and that Leonardo DiCaprio would be 50 and still determinedly finding new audiences for Titanic by dating girls born since its release in 1997. It’s more than 50 years since musician John Lennon urged the world to give peace a chance. Likewise, after the horrendous start to the new century with 9/11 and the 2004 tsunami, who would’ve thought we’d be entering 2025 with wars blazing in Ukraine, the Middle East and Africa. More than half a century after John Lennon wrote Give Peace a Chance we seemingly still can’t. Sadly, solving those issues are outside my pay grade so instead here’s 30 things I’m hoping for in 2025. Firstly, if the economic fairies could start bringing interest rates down, those of us stretched beyond our means might finally feel a loosening in our shoulders. Please bring interest rates down. Australia is a wonderful place to live but to find five of our cities now among the world’s top 20 most expensive requires a deeply considered long-term housing policy that looks beyond the next election. My third wish in the housing sphere is for an overhaul of stamp duty. Telling me I can free up $300,000 for superannuation if I downsize is all very well but not when you lose more than $100,000 of that on the stamp duty for a new property purchase. Nonsensical. Moving on to health, this has been the year when a simple injection melts away your fat and as we move into 2025 microdosing Ozempic is set to become the new norm for those wanting to lose their Christmas paunch. You have to lie to get your hands on it but plenty are. We’re living in the Bozempic era when faces are frozen by one injection and bellies jabbed by another. Keira Knightley in the Netflix spy thriller Black Doves. I’m praying for restaurants in 2025. Word out of Los Angeles is that people ordering tiny starters is sending them out of business. As for beauty, we need more of Keira Knightley’s face (wonderfully natural in Black Doves) and less of TikTok convincing a generation of young women that they need a dozen different unguents to look good. They don’t. It’s insane and robs them of their cash and confidence. What we need from scientists is hair colour that works fast so you don’t need to spend two hours in a salon and a fake tan-style product that leaves you SPF-protected for a week. The phenomenally successful Taylor Swift deserves a rest in 2025. Picture: AFP As for entertainment, other than Taylor Swift getting a good rest and Sean Combes getting a rigorous trial, I hope 2025 marks the year that streaming services are consolidated, festivals find a way back to financial viability and someone makes a cinematic blockbuster as good as Top Gun Maverick. It’s also time Ethan Hawke and Julie Delphy reprised their Before Sunrise characters for a fourth movie, since 2025 marks 30 years since the original. Before Sunset was released in 2004 and Before Midnight in 2013 so we’re due a catch-up with the couple who make long-term love believable. It’s time to reprise the love story which began with Julie Delpy and Ethan Hawke in the 1995 film Before Sunrise. In the sporting arena, I’m loving that we now have access to athletes through their socials and I’m hoping 2025 brings better coaching and solid success for the Matildas, more recognition for the AFLW and a great documentary marking 30 years since South Africa won the Rugby World Cup under Nelson Mandela’s presidency. If the Wallabies could beat the British and Irish Lions during their tour mid-year we’re here for it. Fashion-wise, if we could kill off mullets and Naarmcore, which is basically Melburnians looking like they’ve rolled through a skip bin, then my eyes can finally stop hurting. If you’ve watched Buy Now (Netflix) you won’t want to buy a thing but the one purchase I’ll be making come winter is a cape. They’re back. Let Donald Trump and Elon Musk have a spectacular falling out in 2025. Picture: Getty Images May the fashion gods find me one in dusky blue. Randomly, I want 2025 to bring a “cossie livs” aisle to supermarkets where you can get all the bargains in one place, jalapeno honey to become a food group (don’t mock til you try), boats to be banned from suburban streets, King Charles to be cured of cancer, Donald Trump and Elon Musk to have a spectacular falling out and a revival of the progressive dinner. Finally, as my 30th wish, I want us to look up from our phones and take in the world. Because it’s beautiful.
