DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Duffy Waldorf shot a 5-under 67 on Saturday to take a one-stroke lead after the second round of the Champions Tour’s Principal Charity Classic. Waldorf had an 8-under 136 total. Bart Bryant and Jay Don Blake were tied for second. Bryant had a 64, and Blake shot a 66. Russ Cochran was 6 under after a 67.

The 50-year-old Waldorf is winless in 12 career starts on the 50-and-over tour after winning four times on the PGA Tour. He took advantage of calm conditions at the Wakonda Club to post a bogey-free round after opening with a 69 for a share of the first-round lead.

Jay Haas, a three-time winner in the event, was 3 under after a 70. Points leader Bernhard Langer shot a 75 to drop 11 strokes back.

CHICAGO (AP) — The Cubs placed right-handed reliever Rafael Dolis on the disabled list because of a strained right forearm, and brought up right-handed reliever Blake Parker from Triple-A Iowa on Saturday. Dolis pitched five scoreless innings in five relief appearances in three stints with Chicago.

Parker is 0-1 with seven saves and a 2.04 ERA in 16 relief appearances this season with Iowa. He was available for the Cubs’ game Saturday night against the Arizona Diamondbacks. To make room for Parker on the 40-man roster, right-handed reliever Alex Burnett was designated for assignment. Burnett, claimed off waivers from the Baltimore Orioles on Monday, pitched a scoreless inning for the Cubs on Wednesday before being optioned to Iowa on Thursday.

Marshall G Kane joins Iowa State

Sports

May 31st, 2013 by Ric Hanson

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State announced Friday that former Marshall guard DeAndre Kane will play for the Cyclones next season. Kane, who averaged 15.1 points and ranked 11th nationally with seven assists per game last season, has one year of eligibility left. Kane figures to challenge for the starting job at point guard for Iowa State, which lost four perimeter players from last year’s NCAA tournament team. Kane scored nearly 1,500 points in three seasons at Marshall.

Coach Fred Hoiberg says Kane will add “great versatility” to the Cyclones, while Kane says Iowa State’s up-tempo style was a major draw.

May 31st, 2013 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Tom Lehman, Duffy Waldorf, Dan Forsman and Scott Hoch shot 3-under 69 on Friday to share the first-round lead in the Champions Tour’s Principal Charity Classic. Hale Irwin, who turns 68 on Monday, topped a group of eight at 70. Defending champion Jay Haas opened with a 71, and tour points leader Bernhard Langer had a 72.

This event is in its first year at Wakonda Club. The tournament was held at Glen Oaks Country Club in neighboring West Des Moines 11 of the last 12 years. The switch led to much higher scores than usual. The first-round leading score was the highest ever in Iowa — and every player had at least one bogey.

Cyclones Announce Addition Of Transfer Kane

Sports

May 31st, 2013 by Jim Field

AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State men’s basketball team bolstered its backcourt with the addition of Marshall transfer DeAndre Kane, a 6-4, 195-pound guard who averaged 15.1 points, 7.0 assists and 4.4 rebounds last season. Kane earned All-Conference USA second team honors and ranked 11th nationally in assists per game last season for the Thundering Herd.

“Having lost four perimeter players that were major contributors last year, DeAndre adds great versatility to our team,” Iowa State head coach Fred Hoiberg said. “His experience will be a great addition to our team.”

Kane, a Pittsburgh, Pa. native, will be eligible immediately after graduating from Marshall. He signed his financial aid agreement to attend Iowa State.

“The up-tempo offense ISU runs played a major role in my decision,” Kane said. “I like to get up and down the court. The style that Coach Hoiberg allows his team to play fits my game perfectly.”

Kane made 26 starts for the Thundering Herd while playing in 28 of 32 games. He was one of just two players in Division I to average at least 14.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 7.0 assists. Kane played a league best 37.1 minutes per game, including eight complete games. He earned conference player of the week honors after posting Marshall’s fourth triple double in school history with a 33-point, 11-rebound and 10-assist performance against Hofstra.

In three seasons with Marshall, Kane scored 1,496 points and grabbed 498 rebounds. He has averaged over 15 points per game in each season, including a career-best 16.5 points as a sophomore.

Kane owns the Conference USA Tournament single-season record for points scored after tallying 40 in Marshall’s 2012 triple overtime win against Tulsa.

Kane played prep basketball at The Patterson School in Lenoir, N.C., in 2008-09. Prior to attending Patterson he won a state championship as a junior at Pittsburgh’s Schenley High School.
