Arnold Palmer Cup announces rosters, teams for 2025 competition at Congaree
The rosters for the 2025 Arnold Palmer Cup teams were announced Tuesday night.
The event is a Ryder Cup-style tournament featuring the top men's and women's college golfers matching the United States against a team of International players. The Palmer Cup is the only major tournament that features men and women playing side-by-side as partners, though the Olympics added mixed-team golf for the 2028 games in Los Angeles.
The United States leads the Palmer Cup series 15-12-1. The 2025 Palmer Cup will be played June 5-7 at Congaree Golf Club in Ridgeland, South Carolina. The Americans won last year at Lahinch. Twelve men and 12 women comprise each roster.
U.S. team selections include Auburn's Carson Bacha, Oklahoma State's Ethan Fang, Auburn's Josiah Gilbert, Auburn's Jackson Koivun, Ole Miss' Michael La Sasso, Notre Dame's Jacob Modleski, Louisville's Sebastian Moss, Oklahoma State's Preston Stout, Oklahoma's Jase Summy and Vanderbilt's Wells Williams comprise the men's selections. For the women, Auburn's Anna Davis, Stanford's Megha Ganne, USC's Jasmine Koo, Texas' Farah O'Keefe, USC's Catherine Park, Wake Forest's Macy Pate, Oregon's Kiara Romero, Virginia's Amanda Sambach, Arkansas' Kendall Todd, and Stanford's Kelly Xu were the picks. Colorado Christian's Adam Duncan and Findlay's Mary Kelly Mulcahy were the non-Division I selections.

The World Games 2025: China Takes Gold In Men's And Women's Breaking
On August 17-18 in Chengdu, China, 16 b-boys and 16 b-girls battled for gold in Men's Breaking and Women's Breaking at The World Games 2025. The home field must have worked its magic, as China's Lithe-ing (Qi Xiangyu) and Royal (Guo Pu) emerged victorious in the respective events. Watch the replay here. So far, the World Games 2025 is the most prominent global appearance for this hip hop dance form since the Paris Olympics in August 2024, at least in a sporting context. Before Paris, The World Games 2022 in Birmingham also featured breaking, where USA's Victor Montalvo and Japan's Yuasa Ami won gold. In Chengdu, the first day of round robin matches determined who qualified for the second day's single elimination brackets, which were even more hard fought. The energy was palpable in Chengbei Gymnasium, as the crowd cheered their favorites on, building to a high in the two final battles. The Men's Breaking podium consisted of Lithe-ing (CHN), Issin (Hishikawa Issin, JPN) with the silver, and Shigekix (Nakarai Shigeyuki, JPN) taking bronze. This is a vindication of sorts for Lithe-ing, who barely missed out on gold at the WDSF Asian Breaking Championships this past June, where Shigekix won the Men's. The Women's Breaking finals was all Chinese, as Royal had to face off against her national teammate 671 (Liu Qingyi). Nicka (Dominika Banevič, LTU) won the battle for third. It's an especially impressive streak for Royal, who won both the Youth and Adult divisions at the Asian Breaking Championships. 671 wasn't far behind then either—she won the bronze in Adult. These podium results underscore the importance of consistency and endurance in these two-day 'sport breaking' events. All six breakers who medaled in TWG 2025 are known for their consistent execution all the way from prelims to finals, and they showed it in Chengdu. It was also a treat to see somewhat less conventional approaches wow the crowd. For example, France's Killian (Killian Emmanuel Treport) and Syssy (Sya Dembélé) tended to opt for punchy blowups that were just as, if not more memorable than the longer power move combinations from other competitors. Overall, the performances from these past two days captured the essence of breaking about as well as possible given the context. The breakers displayed their personalities and own flavor, along with the impeccable technique that this level of competition requires. While audience members were seated rather far from the stage—crowd engagement energizes the dancers but there are logistical considerations—the DJ and MC's performed admirably and kept the room's energy buzzing. Although this year's World Games are coming to a close, this isn't the end for breaking on the world stage this year. New and seasoned fans alike can look forward to the Red Bull BC One World Final in Tokyo on November 9. Japan is shaping up as the place to be for pro breaking this winter, as the WDSF World Breaking Championships will be held in Fukuoka on December 12-13.

Penge beats Hojgaard in final-day duel to win Danish Golf Championship
COPENHAGEN (AP) — English golfer Marco Penge tapped in for birdie at the 18th hole to win the Danish Golf Championship on Sunday by a stroke from Rasmus Hojgaard, who missed a chance to climb into the automatic qualifying positions for Europe's Ryder Cup team. Hojgaard looked on course for the title in his home country when he powered into a four-shot lead midway through his front nine, only to drop four strokes in four holes from No. 10 and allow Penge to take the lead. Penge walked down the par-5 18th with a two-shot cushion over Hojgaard in the final pairing, but saw his partner roll in an eagle putt from 10 feet to the delight of the crowd at Furesø Golf Klub in Copenhagen. The 97th-ranked Penge needed to hole a birdie putt from 3 feet for the win and he held his nerve to shoot 4-under 67, finish on 16 under for the week and seal a second European tour title. Both victories have come this year, with the first at the Hainan Classic in April. Hojgaard (69) was the runner-up and will remain outside the six automatic qualifying spots, just behind No. 6 Sepp Straka, in the race to get into Europe's team for the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black next month. There is one qualifying event left for both players next week. Hojgaard will play at the British Masters on the European tour and Straka is scheduled to play on the PGA Tour at the Tour Championship, which offers more qualifying points. ___ AP golf: The Associated Press
