SOUTHPORT, England (AP) — The British Open came to life Friday when Lucas Herbert and Sam Burns took their place in history by tying the major championship record with 62s, and Bryson DeChambeau was penalized two shots after his round for inadvertently improving the path of his swing. In ...
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Caitlin Clark scored a career-high 45 points and had 10 assists for the first 40-10 game in WNBA history, and the Indiana Fever beat Seattle 110-107 on Friday night.

And instead of playing in Sunday's final — that game will be between Argentina and Spain — England and France will face each other in a consolation match for third place. "None of us wanted to play in this game for third place," France defender Ibrahima Konate ...
SOUTHPORT, England (AP) — There have been roars of support for Fifa around the links of Royal Birkdale this week. No, not the heavily scrutinized soccer organization. Instead, they've been directed at a college kid from Thailand who has a memorable name and has just experienced a memorable week at the British Open. OK, Fifa Laopakdee shot 80 to miss the cut on Friday but he has stood out in this corner of northwest England, not least because of a playful nickname his soccer-loving father, Peter, gave him as a baby, in keeping with Thai culture. According to the 21-year-old ...
Getting home, and turning back the clock, has long been at the root of Christopher Nolan's films. The astronauts of "Interstellar" painstakingly lose 23 years in space travel, almost the same length of time Odysseus is away from home in "The Odyssey": a decade fighting the Trojan War, a decade ...
