Short game setting Sam Burns, Viktor Hovland apart at Oakmont
OAKMONT, Pa. Sam Burns' chance at a 65 on Friday was in jeopardy after a misfire off the tee. Burns' drive flew left of the fairway into a native area full of knee-high grass. He took a drop and hit his third shot to about 22 1/2 feet of the hole at No. 9. The par putt was uphill with loads of left-to-right break, yet Burns judged it perfectly. His ball took a late right turn and trickled in, finalizing his 5-under round to jump to 3 under par through two rounds at the U.S. Open. "That putt was, I don't know, six feet of break," Burns said. "Yeah, it was a nice one to make for sure." There's little mystery why Burns is in the mix near the top of the leaderboard at Oakmont Country Club. Statistically the best putter on the PGA Tour this season, Burns has shown his peers how it's done this week both on the greens and around them. So has Viktor Hovland. The Norwegian's work around the greens has long been a weakness in his game, but that's been far from the case at Oakmont. Hovland putted from the first cut of rough for birdie at No. 10 to open his second round, and he had a more difficult look out of the thick stuff at the short par-4 17th. He popped his ball out and it took a perfect line to the hole, going down for eagle. With the round still in progress Friday afternoon, Hovland led the field in strokes gained: short game and was 22nd in putting. "I almost automatically think it's a bad hole if it's sloped front to back. Somehow they make it work here," said Hovland, who shot 68 to get to 1 under par. "I think it's a fun challenge. It's a fun test. "It's just super dicey because you obviously want to be below the hole, but on holes like No. 1 it's kind of hard to do, especially with today's pin. There's just a lot of strategy. You have to be super precise on your distance control, and obviously speed just your lag putting, the importance of lag putting goes up significantly compared to other weeks." Burns knows a thing or two about lag putting. At the par-5 fourth Friday, he reached the green in two shots but had 106 feet to go. He nestled the ensuing putt inside 2 feet to set up his sixth birdie of the round. Burns was stellar from tee to green throughout his round, but he ranked second in strokes gained: approach and third in putting. He was also fifth for the week in strokes gained: short game. On Thursday, his second shot at No. 1 chased down a long slope until it settled about 3 feet from the pin for an easy birdie. He followed that with a pitch-in birdie at No. 3. "Yeah, it's been nice. Look, this golf course is very tough and you're going to get the ball out of position and you're going to get in some spots that are tricky," Burns said. "I think being able to rely on your short game and give yourself a chance at par is really important." Adam Zielonka, Field Level Media

Sift Kaur Samra wins women's 3P bronze, her 2nd in two years in Munich
Munich [Germany], June 13 (ANI): World record holder Sift Kaur Samra, won bronze in the women's 50m rifle 3 positions (3P), on competition day three of the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF) World Cup (Rifle/Pistol) in Munich, giving India their second medal of the competition. The former world number one shot 453.1 in the final at the Olympic Shooting range, to finish behind Switzerland's Emely Jaeggi, who won silver with 464.8. Norwegian ace Jeanette Hegg Duestad won gold with 466.9. India now has two bronzes from the competition. Sift's second 3P bronze in Munich in as many years came on the back of a gold in the year's first Buenos Aires World Cup in April. In Munich on Thursday, she shot a characteristically strong and consistent qualification round with scores of 197, 199 and 196 each in Kneeling, Prone and the last Standing position respectively, to finish second in a top field. Agathe Girard of France pipped her to the top spot on the same score of 592, but with more shots in the inner 10 ring. While the Olympic champion Chiara Leonne of Switzerland missed out, so did India's Ashi Chouksey, a brilliant 589, giving her a ninth-place finish. Known to be a strong standing shooter in 3P, Sift ended the second Prone series of 15 shots in fourth position, behind Paris silver medalist Sagen Maddalena. Duestad and Emely were in a battle of their own for gold and silver quite early in the 45-shot final. Sagen then faltered in the first series of Standing shots and Sift gleefully accepted the window of opportunity to climb up to third, a position which she clinically maintained with a series of slim and mid to high 10s, right till the end of the penultimate 44th shot. On Friday, day four, the women's 10m Air Pistol final is also on schedule, as is the men's 25m rapid-fire pistol. Other Indian scores of the day Women's 3P- Shriyanka Sadangi 582 (43rd) Men's 10m Air Rifle- Kiran Ankush Jadhav 631.7 (10th), 629.1(39th), Sandeep Singh 628.3 (45th) Men's 25m Rapid Fire Pistol (Day 1-ongoing)- Anish 295, Vijavveer Sidhu 284.

Bolt beams as Alfred, Duplantis and Warholm light up Oslo Diamond League
Karsten Warholm, Julien Alfred and Armand 'Mondo' Duplantis lit up Thursday's star-studded Diamond League meet in Oslo where Jamaican sprint legend Usain Bolt was on hand to lend further glitter to a gripping evening of track and field. Bolt, the 100 and 200m world record holder, had been introduced to the baying, sell-out 15,000-strong crowd in the Bislett Stadium by World Athletics president Sebastian Coe, who had himself set three world records at the Norwegian venue. Bolt was on hand to present a bouquet of flowers to a delighted Alfred after she won the women's 100m in 10.89 seconds. "It's always been wonderful being at the Bislett Games. The energy and the love that I always get when I come here is just wonderful," said Bolt on his first return to Oslo since his retirement in 2017. Alfred said she had been honoured to meet the 38-year-old Bolt, an eight-time Olympic gold medallist and an 11-time world champion. "It was my first race of the season so I was a little rusty, but I got the win under my belt which is the main thing," said the 24-year-old whose gold in the Paris was the first ever for the tiny Caribbean island of Saint Lucia. "And I got to meet Usain Bolt yesterday for the first time ever and then two days running I got to meet him again!" Duplantis notched up his 36th victory in 40 Diamond League outings, clearing 6.15 metres before calling it a day as temperatures dipped. The US-born Swede was in a class of his own in another punishing display of vaulting of the highest order. "It did get cooler so that was why I stopped jumping," he said. "On Sunday at the Stockholm Diamond League it would be an absolute dream to break the world record." The meet was rounded off in spectacular style when Warholm clocked 32.67sec to win the 300m hurdles, an event that was granted official status earlier this year but is yet to have a ratified world record. The time bettered Warholm's own 33.05sec set earlier this season in Xiamen, China. "I have been doing a lot of 200m practices and as you can see from today I was very clean over the hurdles," said Warholm. "There were some top stars here which is great for Bislett and it was lovely to catch up with Usain and tomorrow we will have lunch and chat properly." Reigning Olympic champion Emmanuel Wanyonyi missed out on the stadium record of 1:42.04 for the 800m set by Kenyan legend David Rudisha in 2010. Wanyonyi was pushed all the way, but held on for victory in 1:42.78 ahead of Spain's Mohamed Attaoui, Algeria's Djamel Sedjati and France's Gabriel Tual. "Today, my body felt a little tired as I have come from Kenya so the travel has been long but I am happy with my performance against a strong field and pleased to run a season's best," said Wanyonyi. Olympic and Diamond League javelin champion Haruka Kitaguchi of Japan stole the lead in the fifth round with what proved to be a winning 64.63m effort. It broke Greek Elina Tzengko's streak of three back-to-back victories on the circuit. But Dominica's Thea LaFond could only finish fifth in the women's triple jump won by Cuba's Leyanis Perez Hernandez . And another Olympic champion, Winfred Yavi of Bahrain, had to settle for second behind Kenya's Faith Cherotich, who set a meet record of 9:02.60 in the women's 3,000m steeplechase. Oslo's Bislett Stadium is known as a venue where world records are regularly set. When a world-class field lined up for the 5,000m, they were chasing what could have been the 72nd world record set at the venue since Adriaan Paulen established the first one back in 1924. But the history books remained unshuffled as American Nico Young timed 12:45.27 in a shock victory over the likes of Ethiopia's Hagos Gebrhiwet, Yomif Kejelcha and Berihu Aregawi. It was a first Diamond League win and a personal best for the 23-year-old Team USA runner and also the fastest any American has ever run five kilometres outdoors. The evening ended in chaotic scenes with Bolt embracing Warholm on the track, hundreds of children swarming around the Jamaican, who then started screaming 'Mondo! Mondo!' at Duplantis while in full television interview. lp/jc
