Red Wings Down Blackhawks
DETROIT (AP) - The Detroit Red Wings have a two-games-to-one lead in the NHL's Western Conference semifinals following a 3-1 win over the top-seeded Chicago Blackhawks. The game was scoreless until Gustav Nyquist scored at 7:49 of the second period and Drew Miller tallied 31 seconds later. Pavel Datsyuk added an insurance goal in the third period after the Blackhawks had a game-tying goal waved off because of a crease violation.
Wrestling Coach Resigns
Chris Mary has submitted his resignation to the Canon-McMillan school board as wrestling coach, saying he wants to spend more time with his family. He called the decision "very hard, very emotional."

Ruling On Long Putters
Golf's governing bodies have adopted a new rule that outlaws the putting stroke used by four of the last six major champions.
The Royal & Ancient Golf Club and U.S. Golf Association announced Tuesday that Rule 14-1b would start in 2016. The new rule will make it illegal to anchor the club against the body when making a golf stroke.
By adopting the rule, they are going against two major golf organizations that argue long putters are not hurting the game. The PGA Tour and PGA of America spoke out against the rule.
R&A chief executive Peter Dawson feels otherwise. He says he believes the rule is the right decision for golf. The rule does not ban the long putters, only the way they commonly are used.
