By Kwiyeon Ha SAPPORO, Japan (Officialsportsbetting.com) – The club scheduled to host the golf at the 2020 Tokyo Games must allow women to have full membership or organizers will have to find another venue, International Olympic Committee (IOC) vice president John Coates told Officialsportsbetting.com on Monday. The private Kasumigaseki Country Club in Saitama prefecture, which is set to host both men’s and women’s tournaments in July and August 2020, forbids women from playing on Sundays and excludes them from becoming full members. Coates, who is head of the coordination commission which oversees preparations for the Games, said he had only become aware of the issue on his last visit to Tokyo at the end of last year and that organizers were now aware of the IOC’s stance.
It was the fourth quarter of the All-Star Game, and a few fans started yelling loudly enough for DeAndre Jordan to hear them from his spot on the Western Conference bench. Defense was in short supply on Sunday night during the NBA’s showcase game, one where Anthony Davis smashed a 55-year-old record with 52 points and the Western Conference beat the Eastern Conference 192-182. ”All-Star is about offense and giving the crowd a show, but if they want to see a little more defense as fans and everything – I mean, nobody wants to go out here and get hurt,” said Davis, the game’s MVP in his home arena.
DeMarcus Cousins is on his way out of Sacramento – and right into an All-Star frontcourt pairing with Anthony Davis. The New Orleans Pelicans agreed to acquire Cousins from the Kings on Sunday, the same night the center was playing in the All-Star Game in their arena. The Kings dealt one of the most talented but temperamental big men in the game along with Omri Casspi to New Orleans in exchange for Tyreke Evans, 2016 first-round draft pick Buddy Hield, Langston Galloway and first- and second-round draft picks this summer, a person familiar with the situation said.
The only question about Dustin Johnson going to No. 1 in the world is: What took so long? Jordan Spieth once referred to Johnson as ”a freak athlete,” a term rarely heard in golf. Pat Perez was partly in awe and partly exasperated Sunday as he stood behind the 10th green during the final round at Riviera and said, ”The guy hits it 40 yards by me, hits his short irons great and makes 30-foot putts.

Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant played together for only 81 seconds in the All-Star Game, just one very early stint. A give-and-go – Westbrook to Durant, back to Westbrook for a dunk, rekindling their Oklahoma City magic for a moment – was the one of the most ballyhooed moments of Sunday night’s showcase in New Orleans. The Western Conference bench broke into celebration, replete with Stephen Curry even tossing a cup of ice water into a timeout huddle, though Westbrook tried to downplay it all afterward.
