lauding the Golden State Warriors for their selfless environment.

.Thats cute, Westbrook said. Cute.Durant was asked earlier this week
why he chose the Warriors during free agency.I feel really grateful to
play for a team like that and play with a bunch of players who are
selfless and enjoy the game in its purest form, Durant said. They make
it about the players, they make it about the environment, so it was
really an easy choice.Westbrook, after being read Durants answer
verbatim at shootaround on Thursday, was asked whether he felt like it
was a shot at him or the Thunder organization.But my job is to worry
about whats going on here, Westbrook said. Were going to worry about all
the selfish guys we have over here apparently. So were going to figure
that out.During the summer, Durant said he and Westbrook were cool.
However, at media day, Westbrook disagreed, saying the two havent spoken
since Durants departure.Durant has made a number of comments about his
new team, many of which have been perceived to be underhanded shots at
the Thunder, including saying the Warriors make basketball even more fun
than it was.Durant, though, disagreed last week with the idea that hes
slamming his former team.That book is closed. Im looking forward now,
Durant said. All Im focused on is how we prepare here and how we have
fun here every day. Its not a knock on Oklahoma City. Its not a knock on
my past teammates. Im looking forward. Im not looking
backward.Westbrook was asked Thursday whether its difficult not to take
every comment Durant says as a jab at the Thunder.I dont care, Westbrook
said. To me, it doesnt matter. My job is to worry about here. Honestly,
Im really tired of talking about it. So, anytime anyone asks me another
question, Im just not going to answer.The Thunder and Warriors play
Nov. 3.

Arsenal failed to take full advantage of its main rivals stumbles on
Saturday as substitute Gerard Deulofeu levelled with a hard shot from a
tight angle in the 84th minute to give Everton a deserved point.
Ahead of a crucial fortnight that will see them play against Napoli in
the Champions League, Manchester City and Chelsea, Arsenal leads by five
points ahead of Liverpool and Chelsea.

trade Jonas Hiller despite the fact hes an unrestricted free agent on
July 1, some sources have told TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun that
Murray might be willing to move another goalie.

Despite dominating possession, Schalke needed an own goal from Nicolas
Hoefler for the breakthrough a minute before the interval. The Freiburg
midfielder misjudged Jefferson Farfans corner and bundled the ball into
his own net.
ST. ANDREWS, Scotland -- Tyrrell Hatton won his first European
Tour title after taking apart the Old Course at St. Andrews for the
second straight day in an impressive display of front-running at the
Dunhill Links Championship on Sunday.The 24-year-old Englishman, who had
a three-shot lead overnight, followed up a course record-tying,
bogey-free 62 at the home of golf on Saturday with a 6-under 66 in the
final round. He finished on a total of 23 under par (265).Hatton won by
four shots from Richard Sterne (66) and Ross Fisher (67) to earn about
$800,000 -- easily the biggest pay check of his career.The win capped a
strong second half of 2016 for Hatton, who was second at the Scottish
Open, fifth at the British Open and 10th at the U.S. PGA
Championship.Its a dream come true, and to do it at the home of golf is
fantastic, said the 53rd-ranked Hatton, who had two second places and
two third places on his resume until finally ending his drought.His
performances in the Scottish and British Opens demonstrated his
competence on links courses, and his weekend rounds at St. Andrews were
clinics.Hatton had three straight birdies at Nos. 3-5 and rolled in a
20-foot birdie putt on No. 9 to open up a six-sshot advantage.

More birdies came at Nos. 12, 14 and 15, meaning a bogey on the 17th
-- after finding the Road Hole bunker -- had little effect and he could
play the famous 18th hole with no pressure.I was quite nervous for the
majority of the round, Hatton said, but I played really solid and holed
some good putts, and that kept the momentum going.Sterne chipped in for
birdie at No. 17 and parred the last for a bogey-free 66 -- and a fourth
straight round in the 60s this week. Fisher, the second-round leader,
stiffed his approach on No. 18 and tapped in for birdie to secure a tie
for second.Joakim Lagergren of Sweden shot 68 for 17 under and a
fourth-place finish, which will secure his tour card for another
season.The Dunhill Links is played over three Scottish links courses --
at St Andrews, Carnoustie and Kingsbarns -- across the first three days
before culminating in a final round over the Old Course.It incorporates
two separate competitions: An individual European Tour tournament and a
team event in which professionals are paired with amateur golfers.
