"I saw him drive Colton (Herta) almost into the wall on the back straight," Daly said. "He was quite slow, so I tried to pass him into (turn) 7. He drove himself off the track to make sure I drove off the track. Not sure of the point of that. It's stupid, in my opinion.
"He was really slow down the straight, and I just passed him, and then he just never stopped. It's a dangerous corner to try to do that. I would (say) that was an unsafe move. I don't understand it."
Race officials review the incident and assessed no penalties.

Buccaneers' Todd Bowles gives official Rachaad White timetable after groin injury
The post Buccaneers' Todd Bowles gives official Rachaad White timetable after groin injury appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers went up against the Tennessee Titans in their first preseason game, and left with an injury to one of their running backs. Rachaad White suffered a groin injury in the first quarter and was ruled out for the rest of the game. He finished with six rushes for 28 yards. Head coach Todd Bowles gave an update on White's injury at the latest practice, and it doesn't sound like he'll miss any substantial time, according to Greg Auman of Fox Sports. 'Bowles says Rachaad White is just day to day recovering from his groin injury,' Auman wrote on X, formerly Twitter. This is set to be a big year for White, as he's in the final year of his rookie contract. Last season, he was solid for the Buccaneers, finishing with 613 rushing yards and three touchdowns, averaging 4.3 yards per carry, which was a career-high. White also split a lot of carries with Bucky Irving, who was the better running back of the two last season. If White continues to ascend, it will be interesting to see what the Buccaneers end up doing with White in his final year, but the running back by committee seemed to be something that worked out well for their offense last season. Buccaneers dealing with several injuries Aside from White, Baker Mayfield was dealing with a hand contusion a couple of days ago, but everything seems to be fine on his end now. The Buccaneers ended up signing Teddy Bridgewater for insurance, but he didn't play in the preseason game. Chris Godwin is still on the PUP list as he continues to recover from his ankle injury that he suffered in Week 7 last season. There has been no update on when he may return to the field, and there's a chance he won't be ready to suit up in the first game against the Atlanta Falcons. Tristian Wirfs will also miss the start of the season because of an injury. Nonetheless, the Buccaneers' offense seems to be ready to roll when the season starts, and they've shown over the past few seasons that they can get the job done with whoever is on the field. As long as they are healthy during the second half of the season and are in good standing, they could still have a chance to win the division.

John Daly's son among winners in first round of US Amateur at Olympic Club
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The son of two-time major champion John Daly was among 32 players who won their matches Wednesday in the first round of match play at the U.S. Amateur, where five of the top 10 amateurs in the world also advanced at The Olympic Club. John Daly II, a senior-to-be at Arkansas, had a scorecard that looked nothing like the 'wild thing' reputation of his famous father. In a 1-up victory over Cooper Claycomb, Daly won the 11th hole with a birdie and the other 17 holes were halved. Jackson Koivun of Auburn, the No. 1 player in the world amateur ranking, was all square with Ryan Vools until Koivun made par on the 16th for a 1-up lead and closed out his opponent with a two-putt birdie on the par-5 17th. It was Koivun's only birdie of the match. Ben James, the No. 2 amateur in the world and a Virginia senior, had a 2-and-1 victory over Parker Claxton, while fourth-ranked Preston Stout won, 4 and 3, over Pennson Badgett. Two players from the top 10 lost in extra holes. Tommy Morrison of Texas (No. 6) , lost to 18-year-old Mason Howell when Morrison made bogey on the par-5 17th hole with a 1-up lead, and then made double bogey on the 19th hole. Filip Jakubcik (No. 5) lost to Eric Lee in 19 holes. Other top-10 players from the amateur ranking to advance were Jace Summy (No. 7) and Christiaan Maas (No. 9). Tim Wiedenmeyer of Germany staged the biggest comeback. He lost five of the opening seven holes to Reed Greyserman and won his final four holes for a 2-and-1 victory. In one of the most roller-coaster matches of the opening round, the son of a former British golf writer rallied to beat the son of a Ryder Cup stalwart. Niall Shiels Donegan of Scotland, whose father Lawrence was a longtime golf correspondent for The Guardian, birdied the last two holes for a 1-up victory over Luke Poulter, a junior at Florida and the son of Ian Poulter. Donegan was among 17 players who advanced from a 20-man playoff Wednesday morning to determine the final 64 for match play. ___ AP golf:
