⛳ Young Earns Maiden Title in Dominant Wyndham Win |
Cameron Young finally got his first PGA Tour win on Sunday at the Wyndham Championship—after seven runner‑up finishes, the breakthrough came at last.
He ripped off a string of five straight birdies early in the final round to build a huge lead and cruised to a six‑stroke victory.
His 22‑under‑par 258 not only tied the tournament scoring record at Sedgefield but also made him the 1,000th unique winner in PGA Tour history.
That kind of dominant display, capping his fourth full season, erased lingering doubts and thrust the Wake Forest alum firmly into Ryder Cup conversations. |
🏎️ Byron Stretches Fuel to Win at Iowa Speedway |
William Byron and crew chief Rudy Fugle pulled off a gutsy fuel‑mileage gambit at Iowa Speedway on Sunday, stretching their final pit stop through 144 consecutive laps—well beyond the usual ~100‑lap window—to come home first in the Iowa Corn 350.
That savvy strategy, combined with a late‑race flurry of cautions, allowed Byron to edge out pole‑winner Chase Briscoe by just 1.192 seconds, while Brad Keselowski and defending champ Ryan Blaney couldn’t lock in their own pace on different timing cycles.
It marked Byron’s second win of the season, first since Daytona, and the 15th of his Cup career, vaulting him back into the regular‑season points lead by 18 points over teammate Chase Elliott.
Byron even ran dry during his planned celebration burnout—literally coasted to Victory Lane on fumes—but the fuel gamble and smart pit timing sealed the deal. | ⚾ Mariners' J-Rod Notches Fourth 20/20 Season |
On Sunday in Seattle, Julio Rodriguez launched a two‑run homer in the third inning—his 100th career blast—and later swiped base No. 21, powering Seattle’s 5‑4 win over Texas and locking in his fourth straight 20/20 campaign.
By piling up at least 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases in each of his first four big‑league seasons, Rodriguez became the first player in MLB history to ever accomplish the feat.
The shot came off Jacob deGrom, delivered in a lead the M’s would never surrender—a clutch homer in a series‑clinching win that narrowed Seattle’s gap in the AL West. |
