OAKMONT, Pa. — Sometimes it helps not knowing what could go wrong.
MISSISSAUGA, Ontario: Getting her first career win has not stopped Japan’s Akie Iwai from going for another, at least judging by her opening round at the CPKC Women’s Open in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada.
ATLANTA: Russell Henley hardly missed a putt. Scottie Scheffler hardly missed a fairway. They led a parade of players who seized on the soft conditions at East Lake to begin the race for the Tour Championship and the season-ending FedEx Cup title.
Colombia’s Sebastian Munoz birdied the final two holes of regulation and won a one-hole playoff over Spain’s Jon Rahm to win the LIV Golf Indianapolis event Sunday in Westfield, Indiana Rahm, who surged up the leaderboard in the third round by shooting an 11-under-par 60, lost the event but narrowly won his second consecutive LIV Golf Individual Championship over Chile’s Joaquin Niemann. Munoz entered the day tied with Dustin Johnson atop the leaderboard at 16 under. A bogey on the par-4 15th hole dropped him to 20 under for the tournament while Rahm ended his round on a run, shooting his final six holes at 5 under to get into the clubhouse at 22 under. After a par on the 16th hole, Munoz rallied with back-to-back birdies on the final two holes to force a playoff and birdied the 18th hole once again to end the playoff after Rahm’s birdie putt drifted just left of the hole. It was Munoz’s first career LIV victory after he previously had six top-five finishes and 13 top-10 finishes over his three years on the tour. “There’s no words to describe it right now.
FORT LAUDERDALE: Lionel Messi returned from injury for Inter Miami to chants of “Messi! Messi! Messi!” in a 3-1 win over the the LA Galaxy on Saturday. It was the magic defender Maximiliano Falcón said the team has come to expect. “We’re used to this. You saw what he did, got the ball with a clear look at goal and scored,” Falcón said in Spanish. Even after a two game absence it was no surprise that Messi, MLS’ top goal scorer, led Inter Miami to victory.
OWINGS MILLS, Md.: Robert MacIntyre ducked his head under the branches and climbed into a mess of bushes behind the fifth green without a golf club, first seeing if he could find his ball and then deciding if it was worth trying to play it.
MADRID: Barcelona began the defense of their La Liga title with a comfortable 3-0 win at Mallorca, scoring early and taking advantage of two first-half red cards for the hosts on Saturday.
CINCINNATI: Carlos Alcaraz moved into his second final at the ATP-WTA Cincinnati Open on Saturday with a 6-4, 6-3 defeat of Alexander Zverev. The Spanish winner will play for a trophy against world number one Jannik Sinner for the fourth time this season, with the Italian winning their showpiece last month at Wimbledon. Zverev, who is diabetic, took a medical timeout in the second set while feeling the summer heat but came back to finish the match as Alcaraz won the final 12 points.
Dustin Johnson shot a 7-under-par round of 64 and tied Columbia’s Sebastian Munoz at the top of the leaderboard at the LIV Golf Indianapolis in Westfield, Indiana Both players are at 16-under 126 through two rounds at the par-71 Club at Chatham Hills Course. Johnson posted a bogey-free round and has not bogeyed a hole since shooting a four on the par-3 second hole on Friday. He birdied six holes in an eight-hole stretch in the middle part of the round, posting a score of 32 on both the front and back nines. Munoz, who shot a 12-under 59 on Friday, looked like he would run away with the tournament after birdieing six of the first seven holes to reach 18 under. He was erratic on the back nine, playing even-par golf until hitting a poor tee shot on 18 and ending up with a double bogey to fall back into a tie with Johnson. “I had a really great start,” said Munoz.
