Catlin finished with a round of seven-under-par 65 at Diamond Country Club, near Vienna, to tie for the top spot at 14-under alongside Kieffer, who survived a mid-round slump to card a 66. A splendid bunker shot helped Catlin save par and stay in the contest on the fourth extra hole before a bogey at the next was enough to claim victory, as Keiffer found water three times on his way to a quintuple-bogey. Ranked 124th, Catlin is projected to break into the top 80 for the first time in his career when the world rankings are updated on Monday.

WASHINGTON — Madison Bumgarner had his best outing of the season, allowing a run over five innings as the Arizona Diamondbacks beat Washington 5-2 Sunday after Nationals starter Stephen Strasburg was a late scratch. Bumgarner (1-2) gave up just two hits and dropped his ERA from 11.20 to 8.68 through four starts. He struck out five and walked one, helping Arizona split the four-game series. Strasburg was placed on the 10-day injured list before first pitch with right shoulder inflammation. Strasburg felt discomfort after a bullpen session during the week, and later an MRI later revealed inflammation. Manager Dave Martinez said there was no timetable for his return. Josh Rojas hit his first career leadoff homer, connecting against Nationals last-minute starter Paulo Espino. The 34-year-old Espino made his fourth career start in the majors and second with Washington. Espino (0-1) pitched 4 1/3 innings and allowed two earned runs and five hits while striking out three and giving up a walk. Two of those five hits were solo home runs — Carson Kelly led off the fourth with a shot to left field. Trea Turner hit two solo homers, one to left field in the third off Bumgarner and his second of the game to centre in the eighth off Taylor Clarke. It was Turner’s sixth multi-home run game and first since Sept. 20, 2019 at Miami. Turner has four homers this season. Washington dropped to 5-8. Pavin Smith had an RBI double in the seventh as Arizona won for the second time in six games to improve to 6-10. Stefan Crichton earned his first save of the season. TRAINER’S ROOM Diamondbacks: Placed OF Tim Locastro on the 10-day injured with a dislocated left pinkie finger. Locastro was hurt Saturday while trying to extend his major league record of 29 consecutive stolen bases to begin a career. Nick Heath, acquired from Kansas City in a trade on Saturday, replaced Locastro in the outfield and had three hits. Nationals: Relief pitcher Wander Suero (left oblique strain) was placed on the 10-day injured list and Washington recalled righty Ryne Harper from the alternate training site. Suero has a 1.42 ERA this season in eight appearances. ... LHP Jon Lester is schedule to throw a sim game Tuesday with manager Dave Martinez hoping he will get to five innings or 80-85 pitches. Lester was put on the injured list April 6 under COVID-19 protocols. UP NEXT Diamondbacks: RHP Zac Gallen (0-0, 2.25 ERA) will take the mound in the series opener at Cincinnati on Tuesday. Gallen lost his only previous start against the Reds in 2019. Nationals: RHP Joe Ross (1-0, 0.00 ERA) will make his second straight start against the Cardinals as Washington’s homestand continues on Monday. Ross pitched six scoreless innings in Washington’s 6-0 win in St. Louis on April 14 in his last start. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB Bobby Bancroft, The Associated Press

It wasn't just Pressley Harvin III's powerful right leg that NFL scouts wanted to see at Georgia Tech's pro day. They had to get a look at this plump punter's robust right arm, too. “I had a feeling it was going to come up,” said Harvin, the 2020 Ray Guy Award winner as the top punter in college football. “That's another attribute I can bring to the table.” Harvin, who packs 263 pounds on his 6-foot frame, set school and ACC single-season records last year with a 48-yard net punting average. He can throw the football just as far and as accurately as he can punt it. His 43-yard dime to Nathan Cottrell on a fake punt helped the Yellow Jackets beat Miami in 2019. He heaved the pass from his 48 and Cottrell caught it in stride at the Hurricanes 9 before tumbling into the end zone. “I've always been humble with it because I've never been a cocky guy,” Harvin said. "But just being able to be versatile at punter is a thing that a lot of teams don't have, and I'm thankful to be able to do it here at Georgia Tech these last four years. “And you know, one of my favourite moments was throwing that touchdown against Miami. That's one of the remarkable things that I can do instead of the ball just hitting my foot, and I try to help the team out in any type of way I can.” Yellow Jackets coach Geoff Collins said Harvin's versatility made both his offence and defence more potent. “The biggest thing is he can just flip the field,” Collins said. “And there's the threat of a fake every single time we go to a special teams play. That's another dimension that Pressley was able to bring us.” Harvin can relate to Denver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus, who despises being called a kicker because he figures he's really just a superb athlete who happens to be great at putting footballs through goal posts. In Harvin's case, he doesn't want to be pigeonholed as a prototypical punter. “We have this thing called, ‘punters are people, too,’” Harvin said. "And it's more than just being a punter because I can contribute to the team on more than just fourth down. Whether it's on the field or off. And you have to still be athletic to do it at this level as well as the NFL level. “You know, I would like to put myself on a depth chart at an ‘ATH’ instead, for sure,” Harvin added, using the nomenclature for all-round ‘athlete.’ Foul weather in Atlanta threatened to keep Harvin from putting on a show for scouts at his pro day last month, but he used the conditions as another chance to prove he's NFL ready. “I wish it was 75 degrees and sunny but for the circumstances and what the conditions were, it was definitely a good day," Harvin said. He delighted scouts with his directional punting, his stamina and his ability to play through the cold conditions like he's sure to face in the NFL. “I knew the directional was going to be one of the most important parts of it because that's what gets you paid in the NFL,” Harvin said. “And what keeps you on teams is: ‘Can you place the ball in this one position that we need you to in order to take the returner out of the game?’ “Yeah, the ball definitely flew real good today.” Off his right foot and out of his right arm. Harvin also showed off the results of his rigorous training that's allowed him to drop 20 pounds from the 283 he played at his senior season. “The weight I'm at today, I feel a lot more comfortable with,” Harvin said. "I played at that my freshman and sophomore years, but I had more body fat than I do now. I've got a lot more lean mass on me now, a lot more muscle. “And that's the biggest part is you don't want to lose explosiveness, but how can you transfer bad weight to good weight and be able to help you out a little bit more?” Collins figures some NFL team is in for a treat when Harvin shows up at its facility this spring. “Pressley is a major talent,” Collins said. “Then you add his work ethic. Then you add his focus. Then you add his just wanting to be a really good teammate, help the team out any way he can. That's what makes him so special." Yellow Jackets speedy wideout and gunner Josh Blancato said whichever NFL team takes a chance on Harvin will find they're not only getting a big-time punter but a consummate teammate and a natural-born leader. “He's going to play his hardest every time he goes out there, and he's going to put on a show for everybody," Blancato said. "But all around, he's the best teammate you can have. He's always going to support you, always going to love you, always going to push you to be better. He's a good dude. I'm excited for his future." ___ More AP NFL coverage: https://apnews.com/hub/NFL and https://twitter.com/AP_NFL Arnie Stapleton, The Associated Press
