KING ABDULLAH ECONOMIC CITY, Saudi Arabia -- Overnight leader Harold Varner III eagled the par-5 18th by sinking a long putt to overtake clubhouse leader Bubba Watson and win the Saudi International in dramatic fashion Sunday.

Varner shot a 1-under 69 in his final round at Royal Greens Golf and Country Club to finish at 13 under, one better than Watson, who finished his round with a birdie-eagle combination to take the lead.

Varner, 31, watched his winning putt roll in before throwing down his club and pumping his fists. Watson jogged over from the clubhouse to congratulate the 99th-ranked Varner.

Adri Arnaus shot a 1-over 71 to finish three shots off the lead in third ahead of Steve Lewton and Cameron Smith another shot back in joint fourth.

BEIJING -- Hilary Knight scored two first-period goals, Alex Cavallini stopped 12 shots, and the United States routed Switzerland 8-0 at the Beijing Olympics on Sunday in its final tuneup before facing archrival Canada.

Kelly Pannek and Jesse Compher also scored twice for the Americans, who close Group A play against Canada (2-0) on Tuesday. The U.S. improved to 3-0 and had 13 of 19 skaters earn at least a point.

The goal eruption came against a Swiss team which had been outscored by a combined 17-3 in losing its first two games, including a 12-1 loss to Canada on Thursday. It also provided the Americans some momentum a day after they had 62 shots but struggled finishing in a 5-0 win over the Russian Olympic Committee team.

Cavallini, who won an NCAA championship with Wisconsin in 2011, made her Olympic debut. Coach Joel Johnson has now rotated in all three of his goalies, with Nicole Hensley getting the shutout against the ROC team. Cavallini's best save came 8½ minutes into the second period, in getting across to her left to stop the Swiss on a 2-on-1 break.

Knight opened the scoring by driving to the net and converting her own rebound for a power-play goal 5:40 in. The game was essentially over when Compher, Knight and Pannek scored in a span of 2:11 to put the U.S. up 4-0 by the 16:15 mark of the first period.

Compher one-timed in Hayley Scamurra's pass into the slot. Knight intercepted a clearing attempt at the left boards and beat Saskia Maurer on the short side. And Pannek collected a loose puck in the right circle and fired it in. Amanda Kessel then scored from a bad angle to make it 5-0 with 22 seconds left in the period.

Knight now has nine career Olympic goals to tie Monique Lamoureux-Morando for fifth on the U.S. list. And she increased her Olympic point total to 22, one behind Katie King, who ranks third.

The U.S., already missing top-line center Brianna Decker, averted a brief scare when forward Abbey Murphy limped off the ice after being tripped in the second period. Murphy returned to the ice a few minutes later. Decker broke her left ankle in a tournament-opening 5-2 win over Finland.

Switzerland, making its fifth Olympic appearance, is being outclassed at Beijing after finishing fourth at the world championships in August, and eight years after winning the bronze medal at the Sochi Games.

Maurer, making her Winter Games debut, stopped 17 of 22 shots before being pulled after one period. Andrea Braendli finished with 41 saves over the final two.

In the day's only other game, Le Mi scored the lone shootout goal to secure host China a 2-1 win over Japan. By virtue of the shootout loss, Japan (2-0-1) earned a point to secure one of Group B's three spots in the quarterfinals, the furthest the nation's women's team has advanced in three Olympic appearances.

China, in its Olympic debut, has five points and can clinch a quarterfinal berth with a win over Sweden in its final preliminary round game, or with one more loss by Sweden (0-2) or Denmark (0-2).

Mario Cristobal's deliberate methodology in putting together his first staff at the University of Miami is delivering another bold-faced name for a hire.

Miami has finalized a deal to hire Michigan offensive coordinator Josh Gattis as the new offensive coordinator, sources told ESPN. Gattis won the Broyles Award as the nation's top assistant in the 2021 season and is regarded as one of the country's rising coaching prospects.

Gattis has already texted his players and informed them that he's leaving, a source told ESPN's Tom VanHaaren.

The hire of Gattis gives Cristobal a strong coordinator pairing, as he hired veteran defensive coordinator Kevin Steele away from Maryland after he'd only been there for a few days. Steele is considered a strong tactician and experienced in high-stakes recruiting battles.

Gattis proved to be one of the top coordinators and playcallers in college football this season, and interest in him included that from at least one NFL team. Michigan finished No. 16 in scoring offense this season (35.7 points per game) on the way to the school beating Ohio State, winning the Big Ten and clinching a bid in the College Football Playoff.

In the wake of that sun-kissed Michigan season has come a flurry of uncertainty for the Wolverines. Coach Jim Harbaugh openly chased NFL opportunities, including two interviews with the Minnesota Vikings. Harbaugh flew to Minneapolis for a second interview this past week, but that job is expected to go to Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O'Connell, sources have told ESPN's Adam Schefter and Dan Graziano.

Prior to Harbaugh seeking the Vikings job, defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald left to take over the defensive coordinator position with the Baltimore Ravens. That position at Michigan remains open.

The Michigan offensive coordinator job has a front-runner, as quarterbacks coach Matt Weiss is considered the likely replacement for Gattis internally. Weiss brought aspects the Ravens' run game to Michigan this season and helped the team's offensive identity evolve during its Big Ten championship season.

Gattis brings Miami a wealth of experience from high-profile programs. He has worked at Vanderbilt, Penn State and Alabama. Gattis' season under Nick Saban as the co-offensive coordinator in 2018 gives him a shared sense of the Alabama model, which Cristobal has from his time there from 2013 to 2016.

Gattis was considered the likely next choice for the head-coaching job at Virginia if that school couldn't come to an agreement with Tony Elliott.

Mack Hansen says wise words from head coach Andy Farrell inspired his superb Ireland Test debut after initially suspecting his selection was a wind-up.

Wing Hansen teed up fellow Connacht man Bundee Aki for the early opening try and remained a constant threat.

"Bundee told me I was in the squad but I hadn't heard anything," said Hansen.

"It was a bit hard to believe him.

"When the sheet came up and it had my name up, I was just stoked, absolutely stoked to be involved with this team and it was great.

"To get my first Ireland cap is something I will remember for ever and ever. I'm trying to breathe it all in," added Hansen, whose mother hails from Cork.

'Be yourself'

Speaking of the advice received from Farrell, Hansen added: "He said, 'If you can't be yourself, there's no point putting on the jersey'.

"When Andy says something like that it sticks with you. Just go out there and enjoy yourself - that's all you do at the end of the day."

Dominant Ireland cruised to victory over the depleted Welsh, with Andrew Conway's second-half brace and a solo score from Garry Ringrose sealing a deserved bonus-point victory.

Hansen's elevation to international level came on the back of some scintillating displays at provincial level since moving to Galway from Canberra-based club Brumbies last year.

The United Rugby Championship's leading try scorer, who filled the void left by the injured James Lowe, was able to savour the moment he was named star man on the public address system and promptly made an emotional phone call home at full-time.

"It was in a break (in play) so I did hear it," he said of being picked as man of the match.

"I gave my parents a call. It was good to talk to mum and dad and my brother Jake to enjoy this experience with them.

"They couldn't make the trip over, unfortunately, but they definitively did all they could to make this is a special week for me."

'He's got the temperament'

Hansen, who has scored six tries in nine appearances for Connacht, was presented with his green jersey by club-mates Aki and Jack Carty.

The former Australia Under-20 player is well placed to retain his spot away to France next weekend after impressing coach Farrell.

"We're not surprised - he's got the temperament for handling debuts," Farrell said of Hansen's maiden display.

"He's very cool, calm and collected in how he plays the game and it suits how we play as well.

"We want to be nice and controlled in how we make decisions and I thought he was pretty smooth at times."

Senegal are planning to channel Liverpool on and off the pitch as they look to get the best out of Sadio Mane and win the country's first ever Africa Cup of Nations title when they face Egypt at the Stade d'Olembe, Yaounde on Sunday.

Defeated finalists in 2002 and 2019, Senegal are the most high-profile African footballing nation never to win the continent's finest prize, but with Mane influential -- three goals and two assists in the tournament -- they are favourites to defeat Mohamed Salah's Pharaohs to clinch their first AFCON title.

As well as the Merseyside subplot between the two Anfield teammates and Africa's most prominent players, Senegal head coach Aliou Cisse has revealed how he's taking inspiration from Liverpool as he looks to give Mane the platform he needs to bring home the trophy.

"Many people claim we have a dependence on him, but us as head coaches, we build our team around our best players," Cisse told ESPN. "We have built a team around him in the same way that he does at Liverpool.

"To do this, we have to play with intensity, we need that same intensity to support him to allow him to express himself [as he does with Liverpool]. He's strong mentally, he leads the way for our team, and it's very good for me, as a coach of this team, to have this player in the dressing room."

Mane, who has eight goals in 20 Premier League appearances so far this season, is rivalling Cameroon's Vincent Aboubakar for the Player of the Tournament award at the AFCON, having proved influential as Senegal have reached their second successive final.

The forward set the tone for the campaign with a 97th-minute penalty against Zimbabwe in Senegal's first match, then opened the scoring in the round of 16 against Cape Verde -- despite suffering a head injury -- before having a hand in three goals across two 3-1 victories against Equatorial Guinea in the quarterfinal and Burkina Faso in the semi.

Having tasted defeat by Algeria in the 2019 final, Mane has now set his sights on adding the Nations Cup to his Premier League and Champions League winners' medals.

"Sadio is a competitor," Cisse continued. "He's been at such a high level for 10 years or more, and he carries the national team in his heart. He's a technical and a social leader in the dressing room, and gives tempo to our team."

As well as looking to tap into Liverpool's intensity and rhythm on the field, the Teranga Lions' head coach is also leaning on the club's iconic motto and anthem: "You'll Never Walk Alone" as he looks to rally his compatriots back home behind their national side.

"Everyone's ready, not just me, I don't want all of the focus to be on the head coach," he concluded. "There are the players, the federation are here [in Cameroon], there are Senegalese journalists who want it too, and there's a whole unity of a country who want us to win.

"As Liverpool's song goes: 'You'll Never Walk Alone.' The world is behind us, and this is good pressure for us."

Senegal, who saw off Burkina Faso in their semifinal on Wednesday, will benefit from an extra day's rest before the final, whereas Egypt -- who defeated Cameroon on penalties on Thursday -- went the full 120 minutes in each of their three knockout games.

Former England and Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney said he was not prepared for the pressure that accompanied his rise to elite-level football as a teenager, and he turned to drink to cope with his problems.

Derby County manager Rooney began his playing career with boyhood club Everton, scoring his first Premier League goal in spectacular fashion as a 16-year-old against Arsenal in 2002.

He then joined United and became one of the country's most iconic players, scoring 253 goals for the Old Trafford team and winning five league titles and the Champions League.

Rooney, 36, who became England's men's record goal scorer with 53 and most capped outfield player with 120 international appearances, said he struggled to deal with fame after growing up on a Liverpool council estate.

"To go from that to having to deal with becoming a Premier League player at 16 and an international player was something I wasn't prepared for," Rooney told the Daily Mail before the launch of an Amazon Prime documentary about his life.

"I had never even thought about the other side of being a football player. I wasn't prepared for that part of life.

"It took a long time for me to get used to that and figure out how to deal with it. It was like being thrown in somewhere where you are just not comfortable. That was tough for me."

Rooney said his problems with drinking continued until his first son, Kai, was born in 2009.

"There were times you would get a couple of days off from football and I would actually lock myself away and just drink, to try to take all that away from my mind," Rooney said.

"People might know that I liked a drink at times or went out but there was a lot more to it than just that. It was what was going on in my head.

"It was just a build-up of everything ... pressure of playing for your country, for United, some of the stuff which came out in the newspapers about my personal life, just trying to deal with all that pressure which builds up."
