Wyndham Clark Banned From Oakmont Country Club After Damaging Property
Instead, the professional golfer is trending because of ESPN's Mark Schlabach report that the Oakmont Country Club has now banned Clark from their course. The shutout comes after Clark left his locker damaged after he missed the cut at last month's U.S. Open.
The decision to ban Clark from the premises may not have come easily, as the club reportedly held 'multiple discussions' with the United States Golf Association and the group's board members.
'Several of you have inquired about the situation involving Wyndham Clark and the steps being taken in response to his recent behavior. Following multiple discussions with the USGA and the OCC Board, a decision has been made that Mr. Clark will no longer be permitted on OCC property. This decision will remain in effect unless formally reconsidered and approved by the Board.'

However, Clark isn't entirely out of luck. The ban could still be lifted. But only if he agrees to pay for the damages while also making a 'meaningful contribution' to a hand-picked charity of the Oakmont Country Club's choosing, and seeking counseling and/or anger management therapy.
Clark's frustration was understandable and even a bit expected after he missed the cut by just one stroke. While he later apologized for his behavior, there are clearly still some unpaid dues.

Super Bowl winner Bryan Braman dies at 38 after 6-month battle with cancer
Former NFL linebacker Bryan Braman passed away on Thursday morning after a battle with cancer, his agent confirmed to ESPN. He was 38. Braman had been seeking treatment for an aggressive form of cancer. According to a GoFundMe page set up for his treatment, the former Houston Texan and Philadelphia Eagle had undergone several surgeries in Seattle. Braman had two daughters, ages 11 and 8. The fundraising campaign had raised $88,000, well over its $25,000 goal, with former teammates JJ Watt donating $10,000 and Chris Long donating $3,000. Per the GoFundMe, Braman was diagnosed with cancer in February and had recently undergone a CAR T-cell reprogramming treatment program. Following the news of Braman's passing, Watt posted a photo of him on X, writing, "Rest in peace brother. Gone far too soon." Braman joined the Texans in 2011 as an undrafted free agent out of West Texas A&M. In 2014, he landed in Philadelphia and won the Super Bowl with the Eagles in 2017, his final game in the NFL. In six seasons split between the Texans and Eagles, Braman recorded 45 solo and eight assisted tackles with 1.5 sacks across 97 games. He also recorded a tackle in the Super Bowl as the Eagles defeated Bill Belichick's Patriots, 41-33, for Philadelphia's first NFL championship since 1960. In 2018, Braman described his NFL career, his Super Bowl and his fatherhood as the "three greatest accomplishments in life."

Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire: Offenses to target, long-term players to add as MLB starts second half
Major League action returns Friday, which is not a moment too soon in this fantasy baseball writer's opinion. And the league is returning with a vengeance, as all 30 teams will play on each of the initial six days back. There are plenty of things we don't know, as many teams have yet to announce their post-break rotation order. But for some of baseball's weakest franchises, the rotation order doesn't matter, as they lack high-end starters. Here are teams and players who can benefit from favorable schedules this weekend. Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Advice Twins @ Rockies Minnesota is in the best position of any team this weekend, playing three games at hitter-friendly Coors Field while facing the worst pitching staff in baseball. And the best news for fantasy managers is that there are plenty of Twins who can be added. Willi Castro (47%), Royce Lewis (45%) and Carlos Correa (25%) are the top options, while Trevor Larnach (9%) and Matt Wallner (7%) can be streamed against righties on Saturday and Sunday. Harrison Bader (3%) is another player to target, as he was swinging a hot bat prior to the break. The Rockies are less likely to enjoy an offensive outburst, but they could benefit from their home park nonetheless. Mickey Moniak (11%) has been a top-100 player over the past 30 days, which makes him a fine option. A similar case can be made for Tyler Freeman (17%), who has been a top-150 player in the past 30 days and should enjoy hitting leadoff during the upcoming homestand. Cardinals @ D-backs Those who want to add hitters for longer than the weekend should target St. Louis players, as they will spend the weekend against a D-backs' staff that ranks 26th in ERA before enjoying a series at Coors Field at the outset of next week. Masyn Winn (49%), Iván Herrera (55%) and Alec Burleson (48%) are the top players to add. Guardians vs. Athletics Cleveland has struggled offensively in recent weeks, but they have a great chance to start the second half on a high note when they meet a pitching staff that ranks 28th in baseball in ERA. I wouldn't add any Guardians in shallow leagues, but Ángel Martínez (5%) is worth a shot in deeper formats. [Smarter waivers, better trades, optimized lineups — Yahoo Fantasy Plus unlocks it all] Rays vs. Orioles Tampa has predictably hit well at their hitter-friendly venue this season, which bodes well for their upcoming series against an Orioles staff that ranks 27th in ERA. Josh Lowe (49%) and Ha-Seong Kim (6%) are the top Rays hitters to add for all-around production, while Chandler Simpson (36%) fits the bill for those who need steals. Some managers will prefer to add possible long-term solutions rather than streamers. For those who fit that description, here are some players to consider. Long-Term Waiver Wire Options Jansen Junk, SP/RP, Marlins, 21% Junk is coming off a spectacular two-start week where he won both of his starts while allowing nary an earned run across 13 innings. He doesn't have strong swing-and-miss skills, but his 38:4 K:BB ratio is an elite mark, and he has surrendered just one homer. Junk needs to be rostered in 12-team leagues while we determine the sustainability of his surprising success. Brandon Walter, SP, Astros, 15% Take almost everything I said about Junk and apply it to Walter. If K-BB ratio is an important statistic (and, it is), then both players need to be rostered in 12-team leagues. Walter has an eye-popping 40:2 mark, although his success has come with being more homer prone (8 HR in 7 starts) than Junk. Walter has superior strikeout skills to Junk, making it an even race in terms of which hurler is more appealing to add. Danny Palencia, RP, Cubs, 49% This is the last time I will write about Palencia, who will either see his roster rate surge or dramatically decline by July 31. The right-hander is a top-15 saves source, as someone who has pitched well this year (1.57 ERA, 0.87 WHIP) and is the closer on one of baseball's best teams. If the Cubs stick with Palencia as their ninth-inning man past the trade deadline, his roster rate should skyrocket to at least 75%. And if they trade for a closer, it should drop below 20%. Palencia is a risk worth taking for the next two weeks. Victor Caratini, C/1B, Astros, 11% Caratini has surprisingly become an everyday player for the Astros, hitting his way into a split role between catcher, first base and designated hitter. In July, he has hit .325 with four homers, 13 RBI and a 1.001 OPS. Caratini is an obvious addition in two-catcher leagues and a great short-term option for those who are dealing with a slumping or injured catcher in shallow formats. Chandler Simpson, OF, Rays, 36% I've written about Simpson far too often, so I'll keep this short. If you need steals or batting average help, he should be your top target. He will score his share of runs too. Ramon Laureano, OF, Orioles, 12% Laureano is playing so well that the Orioles will likely be able to trade him at the deadline. Being dealt may sap the 31-year-old's fantasy value, but that's a problem for another day. He will play regularly for the next two weeks, which includes a series at the Rays hitter-friendly park this weekend and a series against the Rockies the following weekend. Also, Baltimore plays each day between now and July 30, including a double-header on July 29.
