Rahm wins LIV Golf season points title, then falls in playoff to Munoz in Indianapolis
WESTFIELD, Ind. (AP) — Jon Rahm successfully defended his LIV Golf season points title Sunday without winning an event all year, closing with an 11-under 60 before losing a playoff to Sebastian Munoz on the first extra hole in the Indianapolis event. Munoz won two days after becoming the first player to shoot 59 with a double bogey. The Colombian player —with Rahm hitting balls on driving range — birdied the final two holes in regulation for a 65 to match Rahm at 22 under at The Club at Chatham Hills. Rahm also lost on the first extra hole last week outside Chicago, falling to Dean Burmester in a three-way playoff that included Josele Ballester. On Sunday, Munoz beat the Spanish star won with a birdie on the par-4 18th in the playoff. Rahm took the season points title from Joaquin Niemann, a five-time winner this season. Niemann shot a 66 to tie for fourth at 17 under, his first top-10 finish of the year that he didn't win. Munoz led Torque GC to the team event championship. Torque finished at 64 under to break the LIV record of 53 under. Ian Poulter birdied four of his last five holes for a 67 to tie for 17th and avoid relegation from the tour. Majesticks teammate Henrik Stenson was relegated, missing a 20-foot birdie putt on the final hole that would have keep him on the tour and left Poulter out. ___ AP golf:

Amorim unhappy that 'clear' foul went unpunished for Arsenal's winning goal against Man United
MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim believed Arsenal's winning goal in the teams' Premier League match at Old Trafford on Sunday should have been disallowed for a 'clear' foul in the buildup. United goalkeeper Altay Bayındır was put off by Arsenal defender William Saliba as an inswinging corner was delivered by Declan Rice in the 13th minute. As Saliba backed into Bayındır, the goalie flapped at the ball and only managed to knock it across the line toward Riccardo Calafiori, who nodded in from close range. That ultimately secured a 1-0 win for Arsenal and Amorim was disappointed the goal was allowed to stand. 'I think it's clear,' Amorim said. 'Players are touching the goalkeeper without the idea of going for the ball. That is not allowed.' The Portuguese coach added: 'It's protecting the attacking guy and saying that we want (more) goals. But when you are touching the goalkeeper in that way, I think it's hard.' United captain Bruno Fernandes said that in a meeting arranged ahead of the season, the Premier League said referees will call for more fouls if players are blocking opponents at set pieces and not looking at the ball. 'But we know they are just saying that,' Fernandes said. 'Altay was saying the moment he goes to punch the ball, he gets a touch. But obviously we know in the Premier League, they don't give much in those type of situations.' ___

Astros' Yordan Alvarez to start rehab assignment at Double-A Corpus Christi on Tuesday
In a major potential shakeup for fantasy bullpens, Eric Samulski advises fantasy managers to proactively target a pair of Astros relievers in the wake of Josh Hader's reported shoulder discomfort. HOUSTON (AP) Houston Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez will begin a rehabilitation assignment at Double-A Corpus Christi on Tuesday, moving him closer to a return after sitting out for more than three months. 'It's really good news,' manager Joe Espada said. 'The fact that he's feeling better and we're getting to a point where we can see him back is awesome.' Alvarez has been out since May 3 with a small fracture in his right hand that was initially diagnosed as a muscle strain. Alvarez was in Houston on Sunday before the team's series finale against Baltimore after returning from the Astros' spring training facility in Florida, giving Espada a chance to talk with him. 'He is feeling better,' Espada said. 'Good enough to start a rehabilitation assignment.' Espada said Alvarez would need 'a few games before joining our club' but when pressed about exactly how many games or at-bats the left-hander would need, he declined to give further details. 'We're going to start with Tuesday and then we'll go from there,' he said. Espada said Alvarez would serve as the team's designated hitter Tuesday. The return of Alvarez would be a major boost to the Astros as the postseason approaches after he led the team in batting average (.308), home runs (35) and RBIs (86) last season. Houston entered Sunday leading the AL West with a 1 1/2-game lead over the Mariners. The 28-year-old Alvarez hit .210 with three homers and 18 RBIs in 29 games this season before his injury.
