SILVIS, Ill. (AP) — Defending champion and Iowa native Zach Johnson, shot a 7-under 64 and is tied with Camilo Villegas for the lead after Thursday’s opening round of the John Deere Classic. It was the 17th straight round in the 60s at TPC Deere Run for Johnson, who grew up roughly 100 miles away in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Matt Bettencourt made the field as a late alternate and shot a 6-under 65. He’s tied for second with Daniel Summerhays and Brendon de Jonge. Boo Weekley is among a pack of players at 5-under 66. Three-time tournament champion Steve Stricker is at 4-under 67 heading into Friday’s second round.
CHICAGO (AP) — Edwin Jackson earned his third straight win, combining with four relievers on a four-hitter, and Anthony Rizzo drove in all the runs to lead the Chicago Cubs to a 3-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday night. St. Louis had the tying run at the plate in the ninth inning after Kevin Gregg dropped a throw covering first on Allen Craig’s grounder, and David Freese walked.
Alfonso Soriano made a shoestring catch on Jon Jay’s liner to end the game. Cardinals manager Mike Matheny was then seen arguing vehemently with plate umpire Dan Bellino and appeared to make contact with him. The Cubs escaped with the win, and Gregg got his 16th save in 18 chances. Jackson (6-10) struck out five without a walk in seven innings. Starlin Castro added three singles and scored two runs for the Cubs, who won for the fifth time in six games.
St. Louis Cardinals left fielder Matt Holliday left Thursday’s game against the Chicago Cubs because of an apparent leg injury. Holliday clutched his right hamstring when he was halfway to first base on a grounder to shortstop in the fourth inning and walked gingerly off the field after being tended to by a trainer. He did not take the field in the bottom half. Allen Craig moved from first base to left field, while Matt Adams took over at first and moved into the third spot in the order. The extent of Holliday’s injury was not immediately announced.
No injuries were reported following an accident involving three trucks Thursday afternoon, in Cass County.
The Iowa State Patrol says two 2009 Sterling Acterra truck’s were on the shoulder of Interstate 80 westbound about a mile and three-quarters east of the Elk Horn (Highway 173) exit, because one of the trucks had broken down. A 2013 Freightliner semi pulling tandem Fed-Ex trailers and driven by 58-year old Stevan Stojanovic, of Rockford, IL, was traveling west at around 3:30-p.m., when Stojanovic lost control and struck the other two, parked trucks.
Following the collision, the semi crossed both westbound lanes of traffic and entered the median before it tipped over onto its right side in the right, eastbound lane. The front trailer came to rest on its top in the median, while the rear trailer came to rest on its side, also in the median.
No citations were issued.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa’s Big Ten schedule in 2016 will feature five road games, and the Hawkeyes will host five league games the following season. The conference released its schedule for 2016-17 on Thursday. Each of the 14 league members will play nine Big Ten games. The Hawkeyes will host Northwestern, Wisconsin, Michigan and Nebraska in 2016 and Illinois, Penn State, Minnesota, Ohio State and Purdue in 2017.
Iowa will face new Big Ten opponent Rutgers for the first time in 2016. Iowa and Nebraska’s annual matchup will remain on the Friday after Thanksgiving in both 2016 and 2017. The Hawkeyes open this season at home on August 31 against Northern Illinois.
A Pottawattamie County man was sentenced today (Thursdsay) to a little more than 10-years in prison on a drug charge. 50-year old Douglas John Howard was sentenced by Chief Judge James E. Gritzner to 121 months imprisonment for possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. Judge Gritzner also ordered Howard to serve a four year term of supervised release following incarceration. Howard pled guilty on February 8, 2013, to possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute.
The conviction resulted from a joint law enforcement investigation into the distribution of methamphetamine in the Council Bluffs, Iowa, which began with a traffic stop in June of 2012 where Howard was found to be in possession of methamphetamine, digital scales, plastic baggies and drug distribution notes. The investigation identified Howard as a person responsible for regularly distributing methamphetamine in Council Bluffs, along with rural areas in Pottawattamie and Mills Counties in Iowa.
The investigation was conducted by the Carter Lake Police Department, South West Iowa Narcotics Task Force, and the Drug Enforcement Administration, and the case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Iowa.
