PHOENIX (AP) The former top executive of the Fiesta Bowl has reached a plea deal with Arizona prosecutors to settle allegations related to a political donations scandal.

LOS ANGELES (AP) Bill Haas made the biggest putt of them all Sunday at Riviera – the putt that won the Northern Trust Open. Haas closed with a 2-under 69 and wound up in a three-way playoff when Phil Mickelson made a birdie putt from just outside 25 feet on the 18th hole, and PGA champion Keegan Bradley joined him with a 12-foot birdie putt. The tournament was decided on the second extra hole, the par-4 10th, perhaps the most interesting par 4 in golf. Haas had to play safe from behind the green, then rolled in a 45-foot birdie…
BELLEVUE, Neb. (AP) An assistant coach of the Creighton University women’s basketball team has been arrested on suspicion of drunken driving. Bellevue police arrested Carrie Moore early Sunday. Officers had been called to a McDonald’s around 2:50 a.m. by employees who’d found Moore asleep in her vehicle. It was sitting in the drive-thru lane. Sarpy County authorities say the 26-year-old’s blood-alcohol level was nearly twice the legal limit. A public phone listing for Moore could not be found. It’s unclear whether she has an attorney. Online court records don’t yet list the case. Creighton University officials declined to comment.
NEW YORK (AP) A.J. Burnett’s rocky tenure in pinstripes is over. The Yankees and Pirates have completed a trade Sunday that sends the much-maligned pitcher to Pittsburgh for a pair of minor leaguers. New York will also give the Pirates cash to cover part of Burnett’s hefty salary. The teams agreed to the deal Friday, but it was subject to Burnett passing a physical. He was at Pirates camp Sunday in Bradenton, Fla., to take his exam. Commissioner Bud Selig also had to approve the deal because of the money involved. Pittsburgh will pay $13 million of the $33…
