After two rounds at the US Open, former LSU golfer and Shreveport native Sam Burns has the lead at three-under par. The 28-year-old Burns shot a five-under, 67 yesterday, as he made six birdies and just one bogey to grab a one-stroke lead over fellow American J-J Spaun. Burns has won five times on the PGA Tour, but he’s never won a major.
The Saints signed a veteran running back. Cam Akers has agreed to a one-year deal with the Black and Gold. Akers has just over two-thousand yards rushing and 13 touchdowns in five NFL seasons.
