Monday was Media Day as John Deere celebrates 20 years as the title sponsor of the PGA Tour’s John Deere Classic near the Quad Cities. Ryan Moore is the defending champion of the John Deere Classic. He has two top ten finishes this season, including a tie for ninth at The Masters. Last year’s win was his fifth on tour but says it is not something he dwells on.

This year’s John Deere Classic is July 13-16.

Iowa baseball coach Rick Heller believes the Hawkeyes will need to win the Big Ten Tournament to advance to an NCAA Regional. The Hawkeyes are 34-19 and tied for fourth place in the Big Ten. They open the conference tournament Wednesday night in Bloomington, Indiana, against Maryland.

Heller says the Hawkeyes’ schedule is not strong enough to secure an at-large bid. He believes at least four Big Ten teams will play in a regional. Heller says the depth in the Big Ten has improved to the point that the tournament should expand.

Regular season champion Nebraska is the top seed.

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Cubs have promoted reliever Zac Rosscup from Triple-A Iowa, adding another left-hander to their bullpen. They selected Rosscup’s contract before Monday night’s game against San Francisco. Right-hander Dylan Floro was sent down to Iowa, and right-hander Jake Buchanan was designated for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster.

The 28-year-old Rosscup missed last season due to left shoulder surgery. He is 3-1 with a 5.40 ERA in 61 career major league games.

The Atlantic Boys Tennis team competed in Substate Team Tennis on Monday in Carroll. The matches were originally to be played Saturday but were pushed back due to weather conditions.

The Trojans were able to pick up a Substate win over Glenwood and in the process become a state team qualifier. Atlantic then fell to Kuemper Catholic in the State Team Quarterfinal round.

The Trojans end a very successful team season with a 12-2 record. The future is bright as well as the top five members return to play next season
