TROON, Scotland -- French golfer Clement Sordet woke up at 4 a.m. on Friday to text messages asking if he was safe following the tragedy in his hometown of Nice.In fact, Sordet was on the west coast of Scotland for the British Open at Royal Troon, but his girlfriend, Marie, and her family were in Nice and celebrating Bastille Day when a truck plowed through revelers gathered along the Riviera citys waterfront promenade. At least 84 people were killed.Sordet said the tragedy happened about 500 meters from where he lives.Its a really sad situation, the 23-year-old Sordet said. I give my thoughts to all the families and to the people who died.He said his girlfriend, her family and his friends are safe.Sordet used a blue marker to write the words Pray For Nice on his cap for his second round. He was in the first group out for the second round at 6:35 a.m., and shot 4-over 75.I tried not to think about, thats why I had this on my hat, Sordet said, pointing to the side of his cap. I just tried to enjoy the last day at the Open.Sordet was born in Charbonnieres-les-Bains, near Lyon. He moved to Nice, where his girlfriend is from. He wont be back there for another two weeks because he is about to play in back-to-back tournaments.Sordet said he wouldnt be nervous going back to France.

Those arent Powerball numbers; theyre the win totals for the Panthers dating back to the 2012-13 season. Gerard Gallant has helped turn the Cats into winners again behind the stellar goaltending of Roberto Luongo, the ageless play of Jaromir Jagr, the stout defense of Aaron Ekblad and the youthful goal scoring of Aleksander Barkov, Vincent Trocheck, and Jonathan Huberdeau.Whats goodWhat if I told you that you could see a team eclipse 100 points for the first time in franchise history at the NHLs cheapest average ticket price? Interested? We thought so. You can see the Panthers play for just $33 on average (including concessions and parking, the average game cost is still just $60), even with the team winning the Atlantic Division last season. Major reasons for Floridas speedy climb up our rankings were its No. 6 affordability and No. 3 bang for the buck rankings. Its cheaper to buy a Panthers ticket than it is to park at a Bruins game -- a team that Florida bettered by 10 points last season. Last season, the Panthers also introduced a holiday package that included two tickets to three games, two shirts, a puck, an on-ice photo opportunity and two theme park passes for just $99. And if you were expecting a fall off the ice, look no further than the teams acquisition of defenseman Keith Yandle (47 points last year with the Rangers) to see just how serious theyy are.ddddddddddddWhats badIf there is a weak spot for the Panthers, its the arena they play in. BB&T Center is responsible for the teams lowest ranking at 53rd overall (though that does represent a 27-spot jump from last year). The building itself is not even 20 years old, but perhaps in comparison to the family-friendly atmosphere of Amalie Arena up I-75, the Miami arena doesnt hold up. It might be part of the reason that the Panthers still rank 24th in the NHL in attendance -- it was only two short years ago that they set a franchise record for fewest tickets sold (7,311). Its hard to get excited about the stadium experience when half of the seats are empty. Still, attendance is trending up -- a 33.5 percent increase since 2014-15 -- so dont be surprised to see another climb for the Sunrise rink.Whats newObviously, a lot changed for the team to jump 41 spots in just a year. Coaching climbed 39 spots in Gallants second season with the club, a pivotal reason for the sprint up the standings. In 2014, Floridas coaching rank was dead last at No. 122. Now it sits at 36th overall. The players also got a boost 38 spots to 27th overall. Luongos social media presence was bettered only by his on-ice play, and the youth movement on the Florida roster was stabilized by the legendary Jaromir Jagr -- lots of fan favorites on this team. The biggest jump? Ownership climbed 49 places to 25th overall, as Vincent Viola has been crucial to the teams success since buying the Panthers in 2013.Next: Dallas Stars?| Full rankings ' ' '
