PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Far removed from the false hopes Taylor Swift would make an appearance at Pebble Beach, Akshay Bhatia and Ryo Hisatsune went about their business quietly at Spyglass Hill and wound up with a share of the lead Friday in the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-am.

Bhatia was bogey-free over two days at Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill, both dry days with a mild breeze and soft greens that allowed for good scoring on both courses. He had six birdies and chipped in from 50 feet for eagle on the 14th hole on his way to a 64.

Hisatsune, who opened with a 62 at Pebble Beach, stumbled in the middle of his round with consecutive bogeys, which he offset with enough birdies (and one eagle) before and after for a 67.

They were at 15-under 129, the lowest 36-hole since the tournament moved to a two-course rotation in 2024 as a signature event.

Rickie Fowler (64) and Sam Burns (67), both at Spyglass Hill, were one shot behind.

Kings star hurt at Olympics

MILAN — Switzerland forward Kevin Fiala sustained a leg injury and was taken off the ice on a stretcher late in a game against Canada at the Milan Cortina Olympics on Friday.

The Los Angeles Kings star went down when he collided with Tom Wilson with just under three minutes left in Canada’s 5-1 victory. Fiala backed into a hit on Wilson near the boards and immediately went down.

Fiala was placed face down on the stretcher and his left leg appeared to be in an air cast as he was wheeled out. Swiss coach Patrick Fischer said “obviously it doesn’t look very good.”

IU assistant wins award

HOT SPRINGS, Ark. — Indiana Hoosiers defensive coordinator Bryant Haines won the Broyles Award as the nation’s top assistant coach.

He received the honor after helping the Hoosiers win the national championship. Indiana ranked second nationally in scoring defense and fourth in total defense. Haines was a finalist last year as well.

The other finalists included coordinators from Georgia, Miami, Ohio State, and Texas Tech.

The Broyles Award is now in its 30th year. A committee of coaches, writers and broadcasters selects the winner. Fans also had one collective vote for the first time. Organizers pick five finalists from 64 nominees.

Vols QB waits for decision

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee quarterback Joey Aguilar has gone back to court for his lawsuit against the NCAA seeking another year of college eligibility.

Aguilar had a preliminary injunction hearing on Friday in Knox County Chancery Court after he was granted a temporary restraining order last week while the case proceeded.

Chancellor Christopher D. Heagerty, who issued the restraining order, said he would make a ruling in the near future whether Aguilar can return to the Volunteers. Aguilar filed his lawsuit earlier in the month arguing he should be allowed a fourth year of playing Division I football rather than having the years he spent in junior college count against his eligibility.

NCAA attorney Taylor Askew argued the NCAA rules regarding the eligibility of junior college players — agreed to by all members — have been in place for many years.
