Jim Furyk has been playing some of the best golf of his career lately, but on Friday during the second round of the BMW Championship, he played some of the best golf of anyone’s career.

Mexico’s firing of Jose Manuel de la Torre is addition by subtraction. It’s not often that managers are given the boot in the middle of World Cup qualifying, but Chepo absolutely had to go. He was woefully incompetent and the main reason why Mexico’s hopes at making it to Brazil were consistently decreasing. With the form the United States has shown over the past few months,...

Tommy Robredo earned the most shocking upset thus far, ousting five-time champion Roger Federer in five sets, while No. 83 Flavia Pennetta wasn’t far behind with her stunning win over red-hot Simona Halep on the women’s side.

Roger Federer is clearly a shell of his former self, but a declining Federer is still better than most players in their prime. As such, he still shouldn’t consider retirement. Granted, the argument supporting the opposite is now at an all-time high. After looking quite bad in defeat (43 unforced errors in three sets) to Tommy Robredo—a player who had never made it past...

Fueled by three aces, 10 winners and just two unforced...

Williams, coming off a disappointing fourth-round loss at Wimbledon and a finals defeat to World No. 2 Victoria Azarenka at the...
