With the 115th U.S. Open just days away, it is the perfect time to look back at the greatest shots from over a century of legendary golf at the year’s second major. Whether it is Jack Nicklaus’ classy return to the top in 1980, Tiger Woods’ one-legged win at Torrey Pines in 2008 or Arnold Palmer’s incredible 1960 comeback at Cherry Hill, the tournament is not short on great...

With nearly every elite player taking a pass on the 2015 St. Jude Classic, the PGA Tour needed someone new to step up. No one could have ever imagined it’d be Fabian Gomez. The 36-year-old journeyman earned his first career PGA championship Sunday, carding a four-under 66 to win the final U.S. Open tuneup by four strokes. Englishman Greg Owen, who entered the day tied with Gomez, finished...

You can change the course. You can change the competitors. You can change the name of the event. You can’t stop Inbee Park. Park shot a five-under 68 Sunday, pulling away from the field for a five-stroke victory at the 2015 Women’s PGA Championship. It’s the third straight triumph at the year’s second major for Park, who has now won the event on three different courses. Annika...

Unpredictability can be both a blessing and a curse in tennis. For spectators, we are perpetually longing for a shock to partly reaffirm our devotion to the game. We come for the likes of Novak Djokovic, but we stay for the likes of Gael Monfils. Nick Kyrgios is another who falls into Monfils‘ category: a wonderfully inventive player capable of both winning a Grand Slam and losing to an unheralded...

Six teams will move on to the 2015 Super Rugby playoffs, but for the majority of the league, the season ends here, and some were lucky enough to leave a lasting impression. The pressure to dazzle is as high as it’s ever been this year; with the Rugby Championship now in sight and a World Cup looming beyond that, a selection of stars have thankfully stepped up their standards in kind. With the...

Cristian Rodriguez’s scrappy goal was a fair way for this game to be settled. It lacked invention, it lacked guile and it certainly lacked beauty, but it meant that Uruguay won a game they just about deserved to. Without the magnificent Luis Suarez up front—still banned from international fixtures after biting Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup—Uruguay looked toothless. Edinson...

After the opening two days of competition offered little in the way of excitement in Chile, the Copa America took off in La Serena. Day 3 of the competition saw heavyweights Uruguay and Argentina enter the fray in their opening Group B encounters. Few experts gave their respective opponents, Jamaica and Paraguay, a chance against the holders and the favourites. But the first Saturday of the Copa America...

Having looked far superior for most of their Copa America opener against Paraguay, Argentina somehow contrived to throw away a comfortable lead and draw 2-2 against the tenacious Guarani. But Sergio Aguero at least will have reason to be pleased with his contribution as he cemented his hold on the centre-forward position. The Manchester City man will be the first to admit that he has more to...

Lucas Barrios had other ideas about being torn to shreds by Argentina. Paraguay fought back to earn a late, dramatic 2-2 draw against one of Copa America’s favourites, Argentina, late during Saturday’s action. Barrios capitalised when a free-kick was nodded back in his direction, and he hit it perfectly. Nelson Valdez started the comeback with a belter from long-distance. Argentina...

Below is the complete updated leaderboard after Saturday’s round. The full leaderboard can be found here. Park, who was looking for her third-consecutive LPGA Championship win, was consistently dominant in her round. She birdied seven of her 18 holes,...
