Germany’s Martin Kaymer is doing his best to discourage the rest of the field at this year’s U.S. Open from showing up for Sunday’s final round at Pinehurst No. 2. Instead of settling for par en route to the eight-over score he predicted would win this year’s tournament, Kaymer has set the course ablaze, shooting a U.S. Open-record 10-under 130 through the first 36 holes.

The Brazil side of the 1970 World Cup remains one of the greatest to play the game. Debates will rage on as to whether the team of 1958 or 1970 was the best in the history of Brazilian football, but none in the selecao’s illustrious history matches the latter for star power.
