A rain delay didn’t keep the leaders of the Shell Houston Open from racing to the finish. In the end, D.A. Points finished off a superb Sunday performance to take home the title at Redstone GC. Points, an Illinois native, had missed the cut in every event this year before shooting a magnificent 16-under par to win in Houston.

One half of the Australian Open semifinals will feature a quarterfinal rematch from last year, as Novak Djokovic and David Ferrer will square off. Djokovic took four sets to dispose of Tomas Berdych, while Ferrer needed to go the distance to take care of Nicolas Almagro in the quarters.

It has been a bit of a Grand Slam swoon for Roger Federer the past three years on tour. Two titles in 12 Slam tournaments may be acceptable by most tennis players’ standards, but not this 17-time Grand Slam winner. Not when he’s had multiple Slam victories in half of the last decade. Nor when he holds the men’s record for most Slam finals in a career. At this point, semifinal berths...

With 19 seconds left in the extra period, Neto flicked the ball over his defenders left leg, ran past him along the sideline and fired a laser into the bottom-right corner. The ball skidded by the Spanish keeper’s right leg and...

The good news: Roger Federer has been the world’s No. 1 player for 300 weeks. The bad? He hardly has the look of it. Roger Federer got trampled by Andy Murray in the Shanghai Masters semifinal 6-4 6-4, and it wasn’t even close. Perhaps the hierarchy between the two tennis heavyweights is more in Murray’s favor. It sure had the look of it in Shanghai Saturday night. Federer couldn’t...

The Ryder Cup 2012‘s final Sunday belonged to Team Europe. Now, with the World Golf Championships and PGA Fall Series ahead, those Europeans who finished the tournament on a roll will continue playing strong golf.
