U.S. Walker Cup team solidified for matches at Cypress Point

World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler discusses his BMW Championship victory, reflecting on what made the win special, if comparing him to Tiger Woods is fair, how he measures his improvement and why golf "is not just a game." SAN FRANCISCO – The U.S. Walker Cup team for next month's match at Cypress Point is complete. The USGA announced Sunday the remaining five selections to captain Nathan Smith's 10-man squad – newly minted U.S. Amateur champion Mason Howell, Oklahoma's Jase Summy, Texas' Tommy Morrison, Notre Dame's Jacob Modleski and mid-amateur Stewart Hagestad. World No. 1 Jackson Koivun of Auburn was among the earlier selections, along with Virginia's Ben James, Ole Miss' Michael La Sasso, and Oklahoma State teammates Preston Stout and Ethan Fang. This will be Hagestad's fifth Walker Cup as he was on winning teams in 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2023. Summy was coming off winning the Western Amateur while Modleski was a semifinalist at the Western and a quarterfinalist at Olympic. Morrison solidified his spot by making match play at the Western and U.S. amateurs. Howell earned an automatic spot with his 7-and-6 win over Jackson Herrington. Among those left off the team were high-schooler Miles Russell, who also made the quarters this week and would've been the youngest Walker Cupper ever at 16 years old, and mid-amateur Evan Beck, the reigning U.S. Mid-Amateur champion. The 50th Walker Cup, which pits a team U.S. amateurs against those from Great Britain and Ireland, will take place Sept. 6-7 at Cypress Point Club in Pebble Beach, California. The GB&I team will be finalized Monday.

Three Up, Three Down: Drivers in focus leaving Richmond

With a weekend that had plenty of old-school feel to it, Austin Dillon was the one who shined the brightest in a short-track showdown under the lights. The Richard Childress Racing driver guided the iconic No. 3 ride to Victory Lane at Richmond Raceway with ease after leading 107 laps and earning redemption to return to Cup Series Playoffs. RELATED: | With one race left in the regular season, let's take a look at three drivers moving in the right direction and three drivers on their back foot before another Saturday night's thriller at Daytona International Speedway (7:30 ET, NBC, MRN Radio, SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, Peacock). THREE UP ⬆️ 1. Ryan Blaney, No. 12 Team Penske Ford Started: 20th Finished: 3rd What happened: Overall, it was a banner day for Team Penske with the 2023 Cup Series champ carrying the flag, scoring his first top-five finish at Richmond. Blaney was a force all evening, scoring points in both stages and coming alive in the second half of the race to challenge Dillon for the win. In the end, he couldn't make up the gap to catch Dillon in the final stint, settling for his ninth top five of the season. What's next: Blaney has proven to be a master on drafting tracks, and he does have a summer win at Daytona from 2021. With how much pace the whole organization is showing right now, Penske is peaking at the right time before the playoffs and Blaney has a chance to end the regular season on a six-race top-10 streak. 2. Joey Logano, No. 22 Team Penske Ford Started: 38th Finished: 4th What happened: The defending champ had a mountain to climb before the green flag dropped, with a tire failure in practice sending him into the wall and not setting a lap in qualifying. He admitted it was a frustrating night post-race, but Logano kept his head down and didn't waste any time as he charged up to fourth by midway through Stage 2. His speed held true once the checkered flag flew, which resulted in his fifth top 10 at Richmond over the last six races there. What's next: With a season that's now only produced seven top-10 finishes through 25 races, this was the perfect tone-setting weekend for Logano and Co. to execute through adversity and build momentum before the playoffs picking up their first top five since Nashville, and we know how dangerous it is to give the No. 22 crew momentum at this point of the year. 3. Shane van Gisbergen, No. 88 Trackhouse Racing Chevrolet Started: 27th Finished: 14th What happened: Van Gisbergen chipped away at spots all night and slowly got more comfortable as the race went on. Plus, the Kiwi stayed clean once chaos did strike in the middle portions of the race. The result ties his best finish on ovals since the Coca-Cola 600 and his sixth top 20 at such tracks. What's next: With the second-most playoff points already in hand, this solid run at Richmond gives a shot in the arm to van Gisbergen as he continues to progress on ovals. The momentum should boost his confidence for the postseason, where every lap of experience matters and each clean finish could mean the difference in advancing. THREE DOWN ⬇️ 1. Ryan Preece, No. 60 RFK Racing Ford Started: 1st Finished: 35th What happened: RFK Racing had a dismal day after showing blazing speed on Friday, highlighted no more clearly than by pole-sitter Preece. Preece appeared to have the car early to sail into his first career Cup Series win and lock into the playoffs. Instead the No. 60 team opted for a different strategy and saved fresher tires for later in the race. The gamble didn't pay off as Preece faded throughout the 400-lapper before being plagued by brake issues. What's next: Some good news is that the Fords show speed at drafting tracks and Preece has had great qualifying efforts two out of his last three visits to Daytona. It's going to take a mighty effort in close-quarter racing next Saturday for the Connecticut wheelman to keep his playoff hopes alive. 2. Chris Buescher, No. 17 RFK Racing Ford Started: 12th Finished: 30th What happened: Buescher never found the pace to contend and leaned on an alternate strategy to try and gain track position. The move didn't stick, and he steadily slipped back from the top 15 during the race. What's next: He came in as the last driver clinging to the playoff bubble, but Austin Dillon's win pushes him below the elimination line, a full 60 points back of Alex Bowman for the provisional final spot in the 16-driver postseason grid. That effectively leaves Daytona as a must-win with his postseason hopes against the wall. 3. Tyler Reddick, No. 45 23XI Racing Toyota Started: 2nd Finished: 34th What happened: Reddick flexed early on, winning the opening stage and leading 41 laps at a track where he only has two top 10s. Unfortunately, contact from the lapped car of Ty Gibbs cost the No. 45 driver a chance to remain upfront and vie for his first win of the season as Reddick spun and never recovered. What's next: His points cushion to the playoff elimination line is still solid, and though he didn't clinch a spot with a race to spare, Reddick just needs to avoid calamity in the final tilt of the regular season and focus on getting off to a strong start in the Cup Series Playoffs.

UFC 319: Dricus Du Plessis vs. Khamzat Chimaev odds, picks and predictions

In a 5-round middleweight championship bout in the main event, Dricus Du Plessis and Khamzat Chimaev meet Saturday at UFC 319 at United Center in Chicago. The early prelims begin at 6:30 p.m. ET (ESPN+ / Disney+), with the prelims starting at 8 p.m. ET (ESPN / ESPN+ / Disney+), followed by the main card at 10 p.m. ET (Pay-Per-View). Their bout is expected to start around 12:15 a.m. ET. Let's analyze BetMGM Sportsbook's UFC odds around the UFC 319: Du Plessis vs. Chimaev odds, and make our expert UFC picks and predictions. Records: Du Plessis (23-2-0) | Chimaev (14-0-0) Du Plessis defends his title for the third straight time. He topped Sean Strickland for the middleweight strap at UFC 297 with a split-decision win, and he successfully defended it against Israel Adesanya at UFC 305 in Aug. 2024. At UFC 312, he posted a unanimous-decision victory over Strickland in a rematch. Chimaev gets his crack at the belt, as he has set himself up for the shot with 8 straight wins since joining the company. He is coming off a Round 1 submission win over Robert Whittaker last time out in Oct. 2024. Since arriving at the UFC, he has 6 finishes in 8 fights. Although, he has ended up going the distance twice in the past 4 outings. Still, neither of those fights were 5-round battles, only 3 rounds. The South African champ holds a slight, 1-inch reach advantage, and the switch-stance fighter has a 6.12 significant strikes landed per minute, to 5.36 for the challenger. Chimaev has been pinpoint with those strikes, posting a 70.87% mark, to just 50.60% for the champ. Chimaev has managed a 4.31-to-2.55 takedown average advantage, with the difference in accuracy percentage in the category rather negligible. Chimaev has a 2.77 submission average, while Du Plessis has managed a 0.73 mark. Watch this card with ESPN+ by signing up here.

UFC 319: Du Plessis vs. Chimaev picks and predictions Fight result (2-way line or moneyline) The champ faces his most difficult test yet, as the challenger has yet to lose in his entire career across all competitions. It's time for Chimaev (-250) to ascend to the top of the division, but you can't risk 2 1/2 times your potential return. So, let's get a little more specific. Chimaev is a fighter that knows how to get the fight to the canvas quickly, and when he does, it usually doesn't end well for the opposition. While it's been a while since Du Plessis has tapped, losing via guillotine at EFC Africa back on Aug. 30, 2014 against Garreth McLellan, if there is a weak spot in the champ's game, the ground game is it. Du Plessis has a 2.55 takedown average, which is pretty strong, and he is 50.0% on those takedowns, as far as accuracy. And, the champ has a 0.73 submission average. However, it would be in his best interest to avoid going to the ground with Chimaev, who is like a boa constrictor when he gets his opponent up against the fence. Take CHIMAEV BY SUBMISSION (+125) at plus-money for the best value. Play our free daily Pick'em Challenge and win! Play now! Over/Under No (-325): Fight to go the distance? is too risky at more than 3 times your potential return. There is no way to justify risking that kind of money on a straight up bet, and it isn't a great idea to toss it into a multi-leg parlay, either. Instead, consider a rounds block instead. Take CHIMAEV BY SUBMSSION IN ROUND 2 (+650) and CHIMAEV BY SUBMISSION IN ROUND 3 (+1200) for a solid value. Yes, you'll lose one of the ends, even if he gets the job done by submission in Rounds 2-3, but you'll still be well ahead, especially with a Round 3 victory.
