Serena Williams knocked off Venus Williams on Wednesday to advance to the 2015 U.S. Open semifinals. If you’re a tennis fan, you probably know that beating Venus is the only victory Serena doesn’t really enjoy. She takes no pleasure in sending her older sister packing, but their showdowns are part of the business, and she plays them out like a professional. With that said, most of the...

Tennis player and noted example of human perfection Roger Federer did a kind thing this week when he saw a young man in trouble and responded to the call. Federer was signing autographs after his fourth-round U.S. Open victory over John Isner on Monday when fans lining the courtside walls pressed in close and threatened to crush a small boy against a barrier. Federer noticed the danger and urged fans...

At one point this Labor Day weekend, all-time golf great Shooter McGavin broke away from enjoying the U.S. Open to take a picture with a fan. It was a special fan, to be sure—a guy who likely spent most of his childhood hoping he would one day match McGavin’s fictional prowess on the links: I’m not exactly sure who took this picture. The image appears to have been originally...

Now, I don’t profess to know or understand the goings-on inside Drake’s heart. The man’s been dealing with a lot lately. He’s got a Meek Mill-shaped body buried in a landfill outside Toronto and upcoming performances in September, and he probably hasn’t even called Billie Jean King back after what was, by all appearances, a brief but sultry encounter at Wimbledon in July. Why...

There are so many good things going for this video, it’s difficult to know where to start. For starters, Shannon Sanderford—the reigning Miss Texas—is featured, and not only is she in attendance at Wednesday night’s game between the Texas Rangers and Seattle Mariners, but she ups the ante by asking out Jordan Spieth via the majesty of rap during a live television broadcast. Asked...

President Barack Obama took to the links Wednesday with some reliable golf partners, joining former NBA All-Stars Ray Allen and Alonzo Mourning at Farm Neck Golf Club in Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts. Joined by his mainstay fourth, Cyrus Walker, the foursome seemed to have a decent time on the course.

Donald Trump owns many golf courses and clubs. He will tell you this repeatedly and at length, as he did in a recent letter to LPGA Commissioner Michael Whan. Both the LPGA and the Ladies’ Golf Union have issued statements distancing their organizations from Trump in response to inflammatory remarks the business magnate made about illegal immigration in June.

The forces of good and evil met in Silvis, Illinois, on Wednesday. The battleground was the John Deere Classic pro-am tournament, where friendly martian Bill Murray struck a decisive victory against a legion of unwashed St. Louis Cardinals fans. More accurately, Bill Murray was playing golf and riffed on a couple of proud, hapless St. Louisans. The Quad-City Times‘ Don Doxsie (h/t SB Nation’s...

After winning his first PGA tournament, Danny Lee just wanted a friend—a female one, preferably. Lee, a 24-year-old South Korean-born New Zealander, took home the hardware at The Greenbrier Classic on Sunday after beating out David Hearn, Kevin Kisner and Robert Streb in a four-way playoff. The victory netted Lee $1.2 million, but according to ESPN’s Jason Sobel, what he wanted most...
