SPORTS BRIEFING GOLF Whoa, Nelly! Korda makes it 2 straight wins for her family — Jessica Korda opened the LPGA Tour season last month by winning the Tournament of Champions. On Sun- day, it was Nelly’s turn. Nelly Korda followed in big sister’s footsteps with a three-shot victory that looked easier than it felt. She seized control with three birdies through six holes, closed with 12 pars and shot a 3-under 69 at Lake Nona to win the Gainbridge LPGA. “Yeah, Jess’ win, I was like, ‘OK, I got to get one now,’” Korda said. “We were close that one year. She won in Thailand and I was leading in Singapore. But it’s nice to get back-to-back Korda wins now.”More than just matching her sister, Korda won for the first time on American soil. The other three victories for 22-year-old Nelly were in Australia and twice in Taiwan. It also was the first time she won with her parents watching. Her father, Petr Korda, is a former Aus- tralian Open tennis champion. Branden Grace closes eagle-birdie to win Puerto Rico Open — Branden Grace closed eagle-birdie Sunday to win the Puerto Rico Open, an emotional triumph following his father’s January death after a month-long fight with the coro- navirus. Grace holed out from a greenside bunker for eagle on the par-4 17th and birdied the par-5 18th for a one-stroke victory over Jhonattan Vegas at windy Grand Reserve. “This morning I had a tear in the car when I was talking to my wife,” Grace said about father Peter. “It was an emotional day. I thought about him a hell of a lot out there, especially the last tee shot. I was really struggling the last hole, because I knew he was watching over me. I knew he was guiding me.” The 32-year-old South African player won for the second time on the PGA Tour and 13th worldwide, closing with a 6-under 66 to finish at 19-under 269. BASKETBALL Blazers’ Simons to compete in dunk competition — Add Anfernee Simons to the list of Portland Trail Blazers participating in NBA All-Star weekend. Simons, according to a report from Adrian Wojnarowski, has been selected to par- ticipate in the Slam Dunk competition on Mar. 7 at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta. Simons on Sunday re-posted items on his Instagram account as if to confirm his participation in the dunk contest. The Blazers have not yet made an announce- ment. Simons will join Damian Lillard (All-Star game and three-point contest) and Robert Covington at the All-Star event. Covington reportedly will participate in the skills com- petition. Simons doesn’t dunk very often in games because he does most of his scoring from outside. — Bulletin wire reports Baseball Continued from A5 Oakland right-hander Daulton Jefferies got a thrill from facing the loaded Los Angeles Dodgers lineup with fans in the seats at last. The limited crowd of 1,998 was a sellout at Hohokam Stadium in Mesa, Arizona. “Even though it’s 20% capac- ity it didn’t feel like it,” Jefferies said. “Everyone was very loud. It was just a lot of fun. I think we truly underestimated how much we missed it.” The outlook for spring training has changed drasti- cally just in the past month. Back in January, the Cactus League sent a letter to MLB suggesting that the spring schedule be delayed because of high COVID-19 case counts in Maricopa County, which is home to all 15 teams in Ari- zona. But then cases plummeted in Arizona and the plan to play games pushed forward. Binsbacher and others became much more optimistic. For some fans, the progress came too late. Don Witynski is a 58-year- old Milwaukee Brewers fan from Wisconsin who has trav- eled to Arizona the past four years for about a week during spring training. He said his family of four would watch three or four baseball games but the trip also includes hik- ing and other outdoor activi- ties in the Arizona sun.

He said most of his friends are staying in Wisconsin this year, though a few will make the trip to the desert. “We’re hunkering down, staying home,” Witynski said. “I’ve got teenagers, 13-year-old twins. Obviously until this vac- cine rolls out more we’re defi- nitely staying home this year unfortunately.” Those are the kinds of sto- ries that have Arizona and Florida bracing for another year of lost revenue. But lim- ited fans are better than no fans. The appetite to watch baseball appears strong: The Rockies and Diamondbacks — who share the Salt River Fields facility — both sold out their entire spring ticket allotments about 24 hours after they went public. Delaney said he and Mier- zwa were coming to Arizona regardless of the baseball situ- ation. They enjoy trail running and Arizona in February is a fine time for that sport. Busi- nesses in Arizona hope there more Delaneys and Mierzwas out there to make 2021 a little less painful. “It’s all part of moving the right direction,” Binsbacher said. “I can’t stress enough – health and safety was at the forefront of everything we did. But the financial numbers are real. It definitely impacts our businesses and the numbers speak for themselves. It’s a tre- mendous impact.” The COVID-19 hit to cen- tral Arizona’s baseball econ- omy was stark: A study from Arizona State University found that the Cactus League’s season generated an estimated eco- nomic impact of $363.6 mil- lion in 2020 before the shut- down in mid-March, which was down nearly $300 million from the estimated $644.2 mil- lion generated in 2018. The study added that 2020 would have been “on a par” with 2018 had it not been for the coronavirus. As for 2021, there is cau- tious optimism that the Cac- tus League season won’t be a complete washout for the lo- cal economy. But for hotels, restaurants, bars, golf courses and rental house companies, there’s little doubt that finances will take a hit for a second straight year. Stephanie Pressler, who is the director of community af- fairs for Experience Scottsdale, said businesses are balancing realism with a little optimism now that COVID-19 cases have gone down and all teams are allowing at least some fans. “This is normally the busi- est time of year for Scottsdale’s tourism industry, largely be- cause of Cactus League spring training,” Pressler said in an email. “Understandably, our expectations are muted this year given the ongoing pan- demic, though Experience Scottsdale is excited that the season is moving forward in a way that will keep teams, fans, employees and residents safe.” Men’s College Basketball WGC Workday Championship Scores Sunday at The Concession Golf Club, Bradenton, Fla.
