Brooks Koepka suffers meltdown and smashes tee marker into fans before withdrawing from LIV Dallas claiming ‘illness'
BROOKS KOEPKA smashed a tee marker towards fans in a shocking meltdown. The five-time major winner lost his temper at the LIV Golf Dallas event yesterday. 4 4 4 4 Koepka got off to a nightmare start at the Maridoe Golf Club with triple bogeys on the fifth and seventh holes. He was seven over par by the time he got to the ninth and his frustrations then boiled over. A wild tee shot veered to the left and Koepka angrily smashed his club into the ground. He then turned to a tee marker and smacked it off the course. It went flying close to where fans were standing - but fortunately nobody was hurt. Many are demanding action is taken, with one saying: "He should be fined and suspended." Another added: "Unacceptable behaviour. Anyone doing this needs stiff penalties." A third wrote: "These pros need to stop with the club throws, ground pounds and course destruction." Koepka's struggles continued and he eventually pulled out on the 14th hole due to an illness. Luis Carrera has replaced him in the Smash GC team. Koepka could decide to return to the action this weekend, though he is out the individual event and would only be representing the team. The 35-year-old American is in woeful form after failing to make the cut at the Masters and PGA Championship this year. He has not finished in the top ten in the last nine majors.

NHL draft: Islanders select Matthew Schaefer with No 1 overall pick during emotional ceremony
The New York Islanders selected defenseman Matthew Schaefer with the No 1 pick in the NHL draft on Friday night. High-scoring forward Michael Misa went second overall to the San Jose Sharks, and the Chicago Blackhawks took Swedish forward Anton Frondell third at the ceremony in Los Angeles' Peacock Theater. The Islanders maneuvered their way into three picks in the top 17, but they surprised nobody by using their first No 1 selection since 2009 on the 17-year-old Schaefer. The 6ft 2in blueliner from Hamilton, Ontario, with exceptional puck-moving ability and strong defensive skills spent the past two seasons with the Ontario Hockey League's Erie Otters. Schaefer persevered through tragedy to reach this moment. When he pulled on his Islanders sweater for the first time on the stage, he kissed a pink ribbon patch on the chest representing breast cancer awareness before breaking into tears and pointing to the sky. Schaefer's mother, Jennifer, died of cancer 16 months ago. He also endured the recent deaths of the Otters' owner, Jim Waters, and the mother of his billet family. 'I appreciate you taking a chance on me,' Schaefer said in a video conference call with the Islanders' front office. 'I promise I won't disappoint, but especially I just want to say to my mom and all my family and friends, thanks for everything.' The Islanders added the patch specifically for Schaefer, along with his mother's initials on the sweater collar. 'Seeing the ribbon on my jersey, and I saw a picture, it has JS on my back here,' Schaefer said. 'You can see just how high-class the organization is. It really means a lot. I wish my mom could be here today. Obviously, she's with me here in spirit ... Cancer sucks, and it's not fun. She didn't feel the best, but she was always the happiest in the family. She would do anything for us.' Schaefer scored 22 points while playing in only 17 games last season before breaking his collarbone in December. His acumen on both ends of the ice still propelled him to the top of nearly all draft boards. Schaefer is just the fifth defenseman picked No 1 overall since 2000, and the first since Owen Power went to Buffalo in 2021. Schaefer also is the second Erie product to go No 1, joining Connor McDavid in 2015. 'First and foremost, we drafted him because he's an unbelievable hockey player,' Isles general manager Mathieu Darche said. 'Obviously, the human being is exceptional. [For] a 17-year-old to have that resilience, maturity with everything that he's gone through is beyond impressive, honestly. I haven't met many 17-year-old kids that act like him. But at the end of the day, we're drafting him because he's a hell of a hockey player.' Schaefer got two new teammates when the Islanders used the 16th pick on Swedish forward Victor Eklund and nabbed defenseman Kashawn Aitcheson with the 17th selection. Both Pennsylvania teams were busy in Los Angeles. The Philadelphia Flyers grabbed forward Porter Martone sixth overall before trading up for the 12th selection to get forward Jack Nesbitt, while the Pittsburgh Penguins maneuvered up and down the draft to control three picks in the top 24, swinging two trades while drafting forwards Benjamin Kindel, Bill Zonnon and William Horcoff. Misa tore up the OHL last season as the captain of the Saginaw Spirit, scoring 62 goals and 134 points in just 65 games. While wearing a teal jersey for the first time, he repeated his desire to play in the NHL next season if he can crack the roster of a struggling Sharks organization that chose Will Smith fourth overall in 2023 and got center Macklin Celebrini with the first overall pick a year ago. 'He's an ultra-competitive kid who's been playing up a level, up a birth year his whole life,' Sharks general manager Mike Grier said about Misa. 'He wants to be the best. He wants to play against the best, so I'm sure this is what he wants to do, but you know we're not going to hand him anything. He's got to come into training camp and try and take a job.' Frondell excelled as a 17-year-old forward last season with Djurgården in Sweden's second division, showing off a two-way game that allowed him to push Misa on some draft boards. At 6ft 2in, he could provide a large complement to Connor Bedard. Frondell is the eighth Swedish player to be a top-three selection, joining elite company including Victor Hedman, Mats Sundin and the Sedin twins. Center Caleb Desnoyers went fourth to the Utah Mammoth, who moved up 10 spots in the draft lottery. The Nashville Predators chose physical forward Brady Martin with the fifth pick before trading up for the 21st selection to get Kitchener defenseman Cameron Reid. Martin skipped the draft, staying home on his family farm in Ontario. Fans of the host Los Angeles Kings inside the theater got fired up for their club to make the 24th selection – which the Kings promptly traded to Pittsburgh for the 31st and 59th selections, prompting groans from the crowd. Los Angeles eventually chose defenseman Henry Brzustewicz from the Memorial Cup champion London Knights in general manager Ken Holland's first selection for his new team. The Penguins created the majority of the surprises in the first round, first by choosing Calgary Hitmen center Kindel with the 11th pick – much higher than many prognosticators expected. Pittsburgh then traded the 12th pick, which originally belonged to the New York Rangers, to Philadelphia for the 22nd and 31st picks. The Flyers wanted the 6ft 4in Nesbitt, a fast-rising center from the OHL's Windsor Spitfires last season. The Penguins also gave a second-round pick to the Kings and swapped first-rounders so they could move up for Horcoff – the son of NHL veteran Shawn Horcoff – with the 24th pick. The Anaheim Ducks took a chance on forward Roger McQueen with the 10th selection. The 6ft 5in McQueen is widely thought to have enough talent to become an elite center, but the Saskatchewan native has been slowed by a back injury that scared off some teams. Two goalies were chosen in the first round for the first time since 2021 and only the third time in 13 years. Columbus grabbed Russia's Pyotr Andreyanov with the 20th pick, making him the highest-picked European goalie in fourth years, while San Jose added goalie Joshua Ravensbergen with the 30th selection. The Boston Bruins used the seventh overall pick on Boston College center James Hagens, the consensus top prospect for this draft a year ago. Hagens, a Long Island native coveted by many Islanders fans, slid down the board just enough to reach the Bruins, whose pick was announced by a video of Adam Sandler in character as Happy Gilmore, complete with his signature Bruins jersey. 'I'm so excited to be back in Boston, and to have Adam Sandler make the pick, that was special,' said Hagens, who cites Happy Gilmore as his favorite movie. 'I love to win, and I'm really glad that I'm in Boston.' The Islanders won the lottery to pick first in a draft that is packed with talent – while missing a few staples of recent drafts. There was no prohibitive lock at No 1, unlike the past two drafts. The draft also lacked the centralized structure that has long been a staple of this annual exercise. The 32 teams' executives are mostly at home, not strewn across the draft floor. The majority of the picks were taken to a video room just behind the stage to exchange televised pleasantries with their new front offices through video conferencing. While reviews of the new format seemed largely negative from television viewers and fans, many hockey executives praised the format afterward.

Megan Rapinoe wears Pride outfit to watch WNBA game with Sue Bird
Megan Rapinoe was pictured wearing a striking outfit to celebrate Pride Month on Friday night as she watched a WNBA game with partner Sue Bird. The former USWNT star took a seat at courtside to watch her local team - the Seattle Storm - take on the Connecticut Sun. The franchise was celebrating its Pride Night at the game and their mascot, Doppler, was dressed in an extravagant rainbow-colored jacket. As Doppler made his way over to Rapinoe, he appeared to remove the jacket and hand it over to Rapinoe for her to try on. Bird, a four-time WNBA champion and five-time Olympic champion, watched on with delight and snapped plenty of pictures. Later in the game, the couple appeared on the big screen and got a huge ovation from the crowd as the Storm ran out 97-81 winners. Pinoe is ROCKING Doppler's jacket 😍😆 — Seattle Storm (@seattlestorm) June 28, 2025 Earlier this month, Rapinoe opened up on life with her 'super gay' 2019 USA World Cup-winning team as she commemorated Pride Month with Bird. Speaking on her 'A Touch More' podcast, Bird asked Rapinoe how it felt to play soccer during pride month, which prompted her to discuss her World Cup glory from six years ago. 'Our team was super gay in 2019,' Rapinoe said. 'A lot of us were out, a lot of our fans were gay, a lot of the other players were gay. 'First and easiest thing to ensure you have is gay players on our team.' Rapinoe was one of five players who had come out alongside their coach, Jill Ellis, Her recent comments echo what Rapinoe said at the time when the USA went on to win a second straight World Cup title. After USA beat France in the quarterfinals, Rapinoe said: 'Go gays! 'You can't win a championship without gays on your team - it's never been done before, ever. That's science, right there! 'For me, to be gay and fabulous, during Pride month at the World Cup, is nice.' Rapinoe also underlined her outspoken reputation at that tournament as she took shots at president Donald Trump during his first term in office. She said she is 'not going to the f***ing White House' if the US won the tournament due to her disdain for Trump and urged her teammates to consider being associated with him. 'I stand by the comments that I made about not wanting to go to the White House with exception of the expletive,' Rapinoe said during the tournament. 'Considering how much time and effort and pride we take in the platform we have, using it for good and leaving the game in a better place and hopefully the world in a better place, I don't think I would want to go. 'I would encourage my teammates to think hard about lending that platform or having that co-opted by an administration that doesn't feel the same way and doesn't fight for the same things we fight for.' Trump responded by saying on X: 'I am a big fan of the American Team, and Women's Soccer, but Megan should WIN first before she TALKS! Finish the job! 'We haven't yet invited Megan or the team, but I am now inviting the TEAM, win or lose. 'Megan should never disrespect our Country, the White House, or our Flag, especially since so much has been done for her & the team. Be proud of the Flag that you wear. The USA is doing GREAT!'
