He finished at 27-under 261, two strokes ahead of Kuchar and Camilo Villegas.Van Rooyen won for the second time on the PGA Tour.

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 22:18:13 GMT

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Los Angeles Rams already had a losing record even before Matthew Stafford got hurt.Their performance in rainy conditions Sunday showcased how much worse they are without their veteran Super Bowl-winning quarterback.With Stafford unavailable because of a thumb injury, the Rams failed to reach the end zone against Green Bay’s injury-riddled defense. Brett Rypien took over for Stafford and went 13 of 28 for 130 yards with two turnovers as the Rams fell 20-3 for their third straight loss.“I’m not really sure what to think right now,” Rypien said. “All I know that that was clearly not good enough.”Stafford hadn’t practiced all week after spraining a ligament in his right thumb in a 43-20 loss at Dallas. Rypien said he didn’t learn for sure that he’d be starting until Friday but had a pretty good idea beforehand because Stafford couldn’t grip the ball.Rams coach Sean McVay said after the game that Stafford is making “good progress” in his recovery. The Rams (3-6...

MADRID (AP) — Jude Bellingham couldn’t come through this time and Real Madrid was held by Rayo Vallecano in their Madrid derby on Sunday to drop to second place in the Spanish league.The 0-0 draw ended Madrid’s perfect record at home and kept it from joining Girona at the top of the standings after 12 rounds.Girona had moved three points clear with a 4-2 win at Osasuna on Saturday.

Survivors say trauma from abusive Native American boarding schools stretches across generations

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 22:18:13 GMT

BOZEMAN, Mont. (AP) — Donovan Archambault was 11 years old in 1950 when he was sent from the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation in Montana to a government-backed Native American boarding school in Pierre, South Dakota, where abusive staff forced him to abandon his community’s language and customs.Archambault emerged bitter from the experience and said he drank alcohol for more than two decades before he finally pulled his life together, earning a master’s degree in education and serving as chairman of the Fort Belknap tribes.“It was probably the most brutal time of my whole life,” Archambault recalled Sunday, “and it all stemmed from the trauma we suffered in the Pierre Indian School.”Decades after the last Native American boarding schools stopped receiving federal money, the traumas inflicted by the abusive institutions are getting belated attention through a series of listening sessions hosted by federal officials across the U.S.For over 150 years, Indigenous childr...
