He was put in a wheelchair as he went back to the locker room. He was in clear pain.

U.S. Open Champ Jon Rahm Drops Clearest 'F*** You' You'll Ever Hear
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Former U.S. Open champion Jon Rahm tends to vocalize his frustration when things on the golf course do not go his way. In these situations, it's not uncommon to see him berating himself, his shot, or his club. He even took out frustration on a sign at Los Angeles Country Club for the 2023 U.S. Open. However, his words aren't always captured as clearly as they were during the final round of LIV Golf in Virginia. A poor shot resulted in a wild F-bomb that was clearly broadcast on television. 🎙️🔥 #HOT MIC — Jon Rahm unloads after a poor drive at LIV Virginia. 🤬 'F*#% you…' 'you absolute f—ing moron.' — NUCLR GOLF (@NUCLRGOLF) June 8, 2025 The incident occurred on the 615-yard, par-5 14th hole at the event's venue, the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club. Rahm hit his tee shot 285 yards, but it didn't follow an ideal trajectory, landing in a fairway bunker and unleashing the player's frustration. Nevertheless, the Spaniard demonstrated his talent by exiting the bunker with his second shot, reaching the green with his third, and two-putting for par on the hole. It was an up-and-down day for Rahm, who began Sunday with three consecutive bogeys on the first three holes. He then found a much better rhythm, carding an eagle, five birdies, and a bogey for the rest of the round. His tournament score was 10-under, placing him tied for eighth on the leaderboard. This marks Rahm's 21st top-10 finish in as many LIV Golf tournaments he has played, and his eighth this season. Jon Rahm of Legion XIII tees off at the 17th hole on day three of LIV Golf Virginia at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club on June 08, 2025 in Gainesville, Virginia. Jon Rahm of Legion XIII tees off at the 17th hole on day three of LIV Golf Virginia at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club on June 08, 2025 in Gainesville, his outburst in Virginia, there's no doubt that his playing level is enviable. His results at the LIV Golf Championship are backed up by a top-15 finish at the Masters Tournament and a top-10 finish at the PGA Championship. One of his most recent outbursts occurred at the Augusta National Golf Club, where he dropped his driver and made gestures of kicking it. Also very talked about were his angry remarks about the drones used in the television broadcast of last season's Nashville event. Rahm is in Oakmont this week for the 125th U.S. Open. He has fond memories of the venue, having played there in 2016 when the event last visited the course. The Spaniard finished tied for 23rd, earning low amateur honors. You may also recall that Rahm knows what it's like to win the US Open. He captured the title in 2021 on another very difficult course, Torrey Pines.

Kerry Earnhardt Set For Historic Stock Car Racing Return at Age 55
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Former NASCAR driver and the eldest son of Dale Earnhardt Sr., Kerry Earnhardt, is set to race in a stock car in the Grand National Super Series this weekend at Tri-County Speedway in Granite Falls, North Carolina. Kerry will be a reserve driver for AJ Henriksen, who won't be racing this weekend. The 55-year-old driver will take the wheel of ECC Motorsports' No. 46 car, which marks his first race since 2009. Having raced for more than a decade in ARCA and the NASCAR Xfinity Series from 1998 to 2009, Kerry is expected to get up to speed in no time. Over his Xfinity Series career, he had six top-10 finishes in 72 starts. His track record at ARCA was impressive too, considering he won four out of 11 races using former DEI Cup equipment. Kerry raced briefly in the Cup and Truck Series before his retirement. In 2016, he drove his father's No.3 car at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. His half-brother, Dale Jr., shared an update on X, announcing Kerry's racing duty for this weekend. Holy smokes this is amazing news. — Dale Earnhardt Jr. (@DaleJr) June 12, 2025 Dale Jr. also revealed in his recent podcast an upcoming show based on his father, Dale Sr. Newsweek Sports reported his comments from his Dale Jr. Download podcast. He said: Kerry Earnhardt from the United States driving the #40 Channel Lock Galaxy Motorsports Chevrolet Monte Carlo during the 1999 NASCAR Busch Grand National Series Yellow Freight 300 race on 13th March 1999 at the Atlanta... Kerry Earnhardt from the United States driving the #40 Channel Lock Galaxy Motorsports Chevrolet Monte Carlo during the 1999 NASCAR Busch Grand National Series Yellow Freight 300 race on 13th March 1999 at the Atlanta Motor Speedway, Hampton, Georgia, United States. More"It's just a show that I started. I got these two scrapbooks from my aunt when my grandmother passed away. We went to her house, we were kind of looking through some of the things - photos and all kinds of stuff - and there were these two scrapbooks that my aunt made. "They are literally, one is from the '79 year and one's from the '80 Cup season. She cut out every article and everything. So right there in front of me, man, is basically this kind of book of, like, 'here's what happened to Dad.' "I just never really dove into that real deeply to get details about that particular couple of years when he drove for Rod Osterlund and landed his first full-time ride in NASCAR. "So we decided to make a series, Becoming Earnhardt, to detail what's in those scrapbooks and the things that we learned. It's pretty interesting." Dale Jr. also mentioned a controversy from 1980 that will be featured in the show. He added: "1980 is what this particular season of Becoming Earnhardt will be focusing on, and there is a high-profile split with crew chief Jake Elder. How Jake handles that in the media is wild—Jake goes off the rails, Jake comes back on the rails—it's just wild. "And Dad and Cale get nippy in the media late in the year. Cale actually is real critical of Dad on the racetrack. Just watching that whole thing—kind of reliving it, putting yourself in the moment of going back through that particular year—I think it's really fun for me. "I'm a nostalgia freak. I love the history of the sport. So it is a great time for me, a good excuse for me to dive more into learning about that particular part of Dad's life. I lived a lot of the late '80s and the '90s. I wasn't even in Dad's life in 1980. I was not living with him yet."

Red Sox Rafael Devers Breaks Silence on Top Prospect Replacement
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Boston Red Sox saw the fruits of their latest major roster moves after a second straight win against the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday. After calling up top prospects Roman Anthony and Marcelo Mayer in recent days, both players have contributed to the offense. Anthony logged his first major-league hit on Tuesday and Mayer enjoyed a two-homer outing on Wednesday. "They felt really good," Mayer said of the pair of long balls, per Peter Abraham of The Boston Globe. "To get the first one at home was special. Then obviously you get the second one anytime you could to help the team out offensively. It means a lot." The Red Sox will need more of the same from their rookies. The team has a disappointing losing record and a fourth-place standing in the American League East division, even after adding several win-now veterans in the offseason.

(Photo by Maddie Malhotra/Boston) More Malhorta/Getty The team became the center of some significant clubhouse drama after asking franchise slugger Rafael Devers to move from his long-held position at third base to accommodate new teammate Alex Bregman, then asking him to move to first base, which he refused. Now, with Bregman on the injured list, Mayer has been playing third. In his first comments to the media since the middle of last month, Devers broke his silence on Anthony and Mayer with some praise for the prospect who has taken over the hot corner. "They've made us better," Devers said, according to Abraham. "It helps us a lot to have them in the lineup. It helps me, too." Devers' compliment should be taken to heart, considering that he's made good on similar expectations after joining the lineup as a 20-year-old rookie in 2017. As the team looks to turn around its disappointing season so far, it will have to hope for similar ascents from Mayer and Anthony.
