Juan Pablo Galavis Reveals What He's Looking for In His True Love

As most of the former Bachelors, Bacherlottes and their chosen ones will tell you, staying together isn’t easy. JuanPablo — who has already been in one failed relationship with the mother of his daughter, Camilla – wants a marriage that’s built to last — so naturally he turned to his friends for advice on how to stay together.

“I just LEARN from a friend that the KEY of a relationship is not SHARING toilet experiences… #interesting,” Juan Pablo tweeted recently.

Well, Juan Pablo, we don’t know if that’s the key to making a relationship work, but it certainly helps to keep a little mystery alive in any romance. Still, some couples are so comfortable with each other that no experience is taboo — so maybe Juan Pablo should keep an open mind — or even an open bathroom door!

Tiger Woods at Bridgestone Invitational

They say par is a good score in a major.

If that's true next week at the PGA Championship, then Tiger Woods has already done his share of preparation.

Woods played safe and smart with a big lead, parring 16 holes in an even-par 70 Sunday to coast to a seven-shot victory at the Bridgestone Invitational for his eighth win at the event — matching the PGA Tour record he already shared for victories in a single tournament.

"As blustery as it was, it was going to be really hard for someone to shoot 62 or 63," Woods said. "If I didn't give any shots away and played my game and shot even par or better, I'd force these guys to go and shoot something super low on a golf course that wasn't going to give it up under these conditions."

As he walked to the scorer's trailer to finalize his score, he scooped up 4-year-old son Charlie, who hugged him tightly as his father strode past the large gallery wildly cheering his landslide victory.

"This is the first win he's ever been at," Woods said. "That's what makes it special for both of us."

Daughter Sam was on hand when Woods, won the U.S. Open in 2008, before his personal life imploded. Now Charlie will have some memories of dad in the winner's circle.

"They always say, 'Daddy, when are you going to win the tournament?' It was a few years there, or a couple years, I hadn't won anything," Woods said, smiling. "'Are you leading or not? That's a stock question. 'Not leading.' 'Well, are you going to start leading?' 'Well, I'm trying."'

After a second-round 61 in which he flirted with 59, Woods ended up at 15-under 265 to easily beat defending champ Keegan Bradley and HenrikStenson.

Bradley, a huge fan of Tiger's when he was a youngster, was asked if he liked to see Woods dominate like he did a decade or so ago.

"When I was younger, I did," Bradley said. "You know, I hate to sit here and go on and on about how good he is, but he is. It's difficult because I really want to get up there and contend with him. But he's just ... this week he's playing really well."

Woods' mastery at Firestone Country Club allowed him to again match Sam Snead's PGA Tour record for wins in an event. Snead won the Greater Greensboro Open eight times. Earlier this year, Woods won at Bay Hill for the eighth time.

As if he weren't already the favourite next week in the PGA Championship at Oak Hill, the lopsided victory reinforced it.

No one ever got within six shots all day of the world's No. 1.

When he had a good shot at a pin, he took it. Otherwise, he took few, if any, risks.

He birdied the 10th hole, then offset that with a three-putt bogey at the 14th hole. But by then most of the field was thinking about catching flights to Rochester instead of catching Woods.

Bradley, who won a year ago when Jim Furyk double-bogeyed the 72nd hole, shot a 67 to get to 8 under along with Stenson, who had a 70 while playing with Woods.

"He kind of punctured this tournament on Friday," Stenson said. "He did what he needed to do today."

Tied for fourth were Cleveland-born Jason Dufner (71), Miguel Angel Jimenez (69) and Zach Johnson (67) at 6 under. Bill Haas and Chris Wood each shot a 71 and were at 5 under, with Martin Kaymer, who matched the day's best round with a 66, at 4 under along with Furyk, Richard Sterne and Luke Donald.

Alex Rodriguez fighting for his life

Last monday Major League Baseball suspended 13 players including New YorkYankees star Alex Rodriguez , after invertigation into the use of performance-enhancing drugs.

The league suspended Rodriguez for 211 regular-season games through the 2014 season, but the 38-year-old slugger said he planned to appeal. Twelve other players have accepted 50-game suspensions without pay.

A-Rod and the other players are accused of having ties to the now-shuttered Biogenesis anti-aging clinic in south Florida and taking performance-enhancing drugs. Rodriguez has denied the accusation.

"I'm fighting for my life. I have to defend myself. If I don't defend myself, no one else will," he told reporters after the league announced its decision.

Canada Civic Holiday

The August Civic Holiday is a mess . Most of the provinces celebrate the first Monday of August as a holiday whether mandatory or optional for employers, but the names are all over the map , It's Natal Day in Nova Scotia and Price Edwards Island, British Columbia Day in British Columbia and Heritage Day in Alberta.

In Ontario, municipalities have named the day after individuals, be it John Graves Simcoe in Toronto, Colonel By in Ottawa, Joseph Brant in Burlington or George Hamilton (no, not the tanned Hollywood actor) in Hamilton. And there’s certainly something to be said for personifying the end of a long weekend (thanks, J.G.S., much obliged).

But let’s not be naive. Getting a statutory holiday named after you is not easy, and keeping it is even harder.

Queen Elizabeth II was born on April 21, but Canada’s official recognition of her birthday falls in late May on a day named after her great-great-grandmother, Queen Victoria. Victoria Day retained that name in Canada after the queen’s death in 1901, even as the rest of the Commonwealth went with Empire Day. Similarly, Beatrix of the Netherlands, who abdicated earlier this year, was born on Jan. 31, but her holiday was held on April 30, the birth date of former queen Juliana.

And when Elizabeth did get her own day – a public holiday in Hong Kong – her name was expunged after Britain handed Hong Kong over to China in 1997. The new name? The Hong Kong Special AdministrativeRegion Establishment Day.

This wouldn’t happen in Japan, which ensures that each new emperor – currently Akihito – is honoured with a national holiday on his actual birthday. And it certainly wouldn’t happen in North Korea, where every beloved and exalted leader is blessed with a personal secular holiday, or two: Jan. 8 for current leader Kim Jong-un, Feb 16 and 17 for father Kim Jong-il, and April 15 and 16 for grandfather Kim Il-sung.

The tradition of naming days after individuals dates from the early centuries of organized religion, when every saint or spirit worthy of his or her feast day could count on a nod. (The word holiday comes from the Old English halig, holy.) Even now, you can’t stroll through the calendar without tripping over St. Patrick, St. George, St. David, and St. Valentine – and that’s without mentioning such powerhouse holidays as Christmas (literally, the mass of Christ), the birthday of the Prophet Mohammed (celebrated in most Muslim nations in the third month of the Islamic calendar) and the birthday of Shakyamuni Buddha (varying dates in May in South Korea, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, India and Indonesia).

Canadian Carol Zhao qualifies for Rogers Cup

CanadianCarol Zhao has qualified for the Rogers Cup women's main draw after an upset victory over Romania's Irina-Camelia Begu.

The 18-year-old from Richmond Hill, Ont., defeated the world No. 75-ranked Begu 6-4, 6-4 in the final round of qualifying.

It's the first time Zhao has reached the Rogers Cup main draw, where she will play Russian Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the first round.

Ottawa's Gabriela Dabrowski, meanwhile, will not be joining Zhao. She was ousted by Israel's Julia Glushko 6-4, 6-3.

World No. 40 Madison Keys was forced to withdraw from her second-round qualifying match Sunday due to a shoulder injury, allowing world No. 127 Anastasia Rodionova of Australia to advance into the main draw.

American Lauren Davis also advanced after upsetting top-seeded Svetlana Kuznetsova 5-7, 6-4, 6-4.

World No. 27 Kuznetsova will still have a place in the main draw though due to Nadia Petrova's withdrawal on Saturday. The highest-ranked player to lose on Sunday was given the lucky loser position to fill the last spot in the main draw.

Kuznetsova and Davis will play each other again in the first round of the main draw.

Stephens on to 2nd round at Rogers Cup

RogersCup fans got a glimpse of what's been touted as the next big thing in American tennis for some time.

Sloane Stephens debuted at the women's tournament Monday with a 6-2, 7-6(5) victory over France's Kristina Mladenovic in the opening round in Toronto.

The world No. 17-ranked Stephens has been labelled the natural successor to Serena and Venus Williams in the American women's game. This year she's proving why, with a semifinal showing at the Australian Open and quarter-final appearance at Wimbledon.

Stephens insists she doesn't let the hype affect her game.

"Obviously most of the attention I get is pretty positive," said Stephens. "It's because people want to see me do well and I'm American and that's awesome, but I mean there's a little downfall of that too. There is a lot of pressure ... and things like that.

"You just have to deal with it and play hard and imagine what [Andy]Murray deals with in England and what Serena has dealt with for so many years. It's definitely tough but people have done it before."

The 20-year-old Stephens battled back from down 5-3 in the second set to win the match in 90 minutes 40 seconds.

She looked strong from the first game as she broke Mladenovic twice to jump out to a 3-0 lead. The No. 39-ranked Frenchwoman tried to play aggressive by attacking the net, but Stephens blew a forehand by her to make it 4-0.

"She comes in a lot and volleys really well," said Stephens. "I knew probably she was going to press a little and make me play more balls. But I tried to stay with it and hit a lot of angles and move her and it seemed to work."

Mladenovic had a chance to break and make it 4-2 but returned the ball long, then wide before Stephens reversed momentum to win the game and pull ahead 5-1.

Mladenovic appeared en route to forcing a third set with a 5-3 lead in the second, but Stephens won three straight games before closing out the match in a tiebreak.

"She upped her game a lot in the second set," said Stephens. "Some nights it's going to be up and down, but I thought I stayed pretty solid and got through it."

Stephens will next face Germany's Mona Barthel, who advanced with a 6-7(3), 6-3, 7-6(1) win over China's Jie Zheng.

Jose Aldo defeats Chan Sung Jung

Featherweight champion JoseAldo was expected to retain his title Saturday night against Chan Sung Jung. And he did, beating "The Korean Zombie" by fourth-round TKO at UFC 163 in Rio de Janeiro.

What wasn't expected was the method Aldo used to get the job done. Aldo threw one leg kick in the first round -- and none afterward -- en route to victory.

The end came when Jung suffered a separated right shoulder during an exchange of punches.

"I did see that he had separated his shoulder and kicked him and put him on his back," Aldo said.

Kicks to the thigh of his opponents have been a trademark in just about all of Aldo's fights. But not against Jung, who stood in front of the champion throughout the fight.

Regardless, Aldo controlled the action from the opening round, almost exclusively using stiff left jabs to catch Jung on the chin and head movement to avoid damage. Once in a while Aldo would deliver a left-right combination to the body.

But the biggest discrepancy between the fighters was Aldo's speed. He possessed the faster hands and feet. His reflexes also came into play a few times in the bout.

In the third round, Aldo ducked under a Jung right hand and tossed him to the canvas. On the ground, Aldo landed some hard right hands to the body.

When Aldo returned to his corner, he was admonished by his handlers not to fight that way again. And he listened, returning to his striking game in the fourth.

"I saw that it was a tough decision so I thought if I could take him down and put him on his back I would be able to win the round," Aldo said.

During an exchange, Jung threw a right hand that missed. As Aldo delivered a left, his arm got caught under Jung's and lifted it up. That's when Jung's right shoulder was separated.

Jung tried popping his shoulder back into place, but was unable to and Aldo lifted him up, tossed him to the canvas and began punching. With Jung no longer able to defend himself, referee Herb Dean jumped in and stopped the fight at the 2-minute mark.

It was the fifth successful UFC title defense for Aldo, who improves to 23-1. He is currently the third-ranked mixed martial artist on the ESPN.com pound-for-pound list.

Jung drops to 13-4.
