Chippa United announce new coach!
Chippa United have officially announced Sinethemba Badela as their new head coach ahead of next season. Badela joins the Chilli Boys following a season-long stint with Moroccan giants Wydad Athletic Club. He worked as one of Rulani Mokwena's assistants at Wydad but their stint was cut short towards the end of last season. As reported on The South African, Chippa United showed huge interest in the Sterkspruit-born mentor. This was on the back of Thabo September's departure from the club following the conclusion of the season. Now, Badela comes in to try and build on the foundation laid by September and his team but also bring in his philosophy. Badela rose to prominence whilst at All Stars in the Motsepe Foundation Championship a few years ago. He was later snapped up by Mamelodi Sundowns to coah their DStv Diski Challenge (DDC) team, thanks to Mokwena's huge influence.

Four SA golfers to tee it up at the US Open at Oakmont this week
The last time a South African golfer won the US Open was back in 2004 when Retief Goosen won his second Major trophy.

The three other locals in the field are Erik van Rooyen (ranked 76), Thriston Lawrence (90) and Jacques Kruyswijk (188). Zimbabwe's Scott Vincent (396) is also in the field. The last time a South African won the US Open was back in 2004 when Retief Goosen won at Shinnecock Hills. He also won in 2001 at Southern Hills. Other South African winners of the US Open are Ernie Els in 1997 and 1994 (at Oakmont, the venue this week), and Gary Player in 1965. Form of SA players Bezuidenhout has produced a mixed bag on the PGA Tour this season, with his best result a tied-fourth place at the Phoenix Open in February. He missed the cut at the Masters and tied for 50th at the PGA Championship. Van Rooyen, too, has had an up-and-down PGA Tour season, with a best finish of second at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in early May. He didn't play at the Masters and missed the cut at the PGA Championship. Lawrence has been cut in nine of his 11 starts during his debut PGA Tour season, including at the Masters and PGA Championship. Kruyswijk and Vincent got into the field at Oakmont through qualifying.

He beat Rory McIlroy by one stroke after the Northern Irishman gave up a two-shot lead with four holes remaining, following three bogeys. It was DeChambeau's second Major title. McIlroy, however, goes into this week's tournament having won the Masters in April to complete the career Grand Slam. The favourite at Oakmont is Scottie Scheffler, the world number one who has won three times since the beginning of May. He's captured the CJ Cup Byron Nelson title, the PGA Championship trophy and the Memorial Tournament title in his last four starts, with a tied-fourth place at the Charles Schwab Challenge also in the mix.
