SAN DIEGO - Former Aztecs keep producing in the professional sports world.
In golf, Xander Schauffele went 3-1 in Team USA's 16-14 win over the International Team in the Presidents Cup, including a crucial 2 & 1 victory over Adam Scott in Sunday Singles.
In the NBA, Kawhi Leonard played in three games this week for the Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers won all three, including Leonard's return to Toronto last Wednesday. Leonard averaged 28.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists, and 1.0 steals per game. The Clippers record is 21-8, good for second best in the Western Conference.

On the gridiron, Damontae Kazee was making plays all over the field in Atlanta's last-second win in San Francisco. Kazee made seven tackles (four solo), including one that was extra special. On the 49ers' last drive of the game, Kazee brought down George Kittle shy of the first-down line on third down, forcing a field goal. After the field goal, it remained a one-possession game, allowing Atlanta to drive down the field for the game winning touchdown. If San Francisco had scored a touchdown, it would have been a two-possession game and the 49ers would have come out victorious. Kazee was in on 63 snaps on defense (all but one) and seven snaps on special teams. Atlanta will play Jacksonville in Week 16.
