Clark sets the standard

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) — Wyndham Clark keeps leaving his mark on Shinnecock Hills. He finished off the lowest opening round in a U.S. Open on this fearsome course Friday morning, and then he delivered two big birdie putts and set the 36-hole standard and build a four-shot lead going into the weekend. With so much chaos and cringing around him, Clark played a steady hand — a far cry from where he was at the U.S. Open last year when he missed the cut and smashed up a locker at storied Oakmont. His last act was a 35-foot birdie putt down the slope on the 18th green that dropped for ...

U.S. knocks out Australia

SEATTLE (AP) — Christian Pulisic's injury absence didn't hurt the Americans one bit. The U.S. national soccer team found a way to advance to the knockout round without the injured forward on the field, beating Australia 2-0 Friday for its second straight victory at the largest World Cup in history.

The team announced the move before Wednesday night's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The rookie fractured a rib on his right side Saturday when he collided with the outfield wall. Guardians manager Stephen Vogt expressed optimism that DeLauter could return after the required 10 days on the IL. "We just felt it was best with where he is injury-wise, let's give it 10 days so he can be 100% on the other end of the 10 days and be ready to go," Vogt ...

Knicks head for the Canyon of Heroes

NEW YORK (AP) — New York Knicks fans have waited forever for this. Thursday's ticker-tape parade for the new NBA champions will be a first. When the team won the title before, in 1970 and '73, they weren't honored with New York's signature procession. Why not? There's no one definitive ...
