The sixth edition of the Dow Championship featured a $3.3 million purse, with $402,691 going to the winning team. LPGA sophomores Somi Lee and Jin Hee Im became the first winning team to each earn their first LPGA titles at the Dow.
The pair of South Koreans are now the 50th and 51st South Koreans to win on the LPGA after defeating Americans Lexi Thompson and Megan Khang on the first playoff hole. After the two teams finished knotted at 20 under, they went into a sudden-death playoff at Midland Country Club, starting on the par-3 18th. Thompson stuffed it to 5 feet in the alternate-shot format, and then Lee hit it to about 9 feet. After Im drained the putt for birdie, Khang couldn't convert to extend the playoff.
"If I had it alone I can't make it," said Im. "I think we're best team ever. I hopefully we coming back next year."
Belgium's Manon De Roey and Pauline Roussin-Bouchard of France finished in a share of third with former Duke players Lindy Duncan and Miranda Wang.

Fargo, North Dakota Museum Gives N.Y. Yankees' Roger Maris His Due
The Roger Maris Museum sits in a wing of a Fargo, North Dakota shopping mall. Gary Stoller (This story is part of an occasional series by this journalist revealing 'Hidden America'—worthy travel destinations unknown by most Americans.) Many baseball fans didn't give New York Yankees right fielder Roger Maris his due after breaking Babe Ruth's single-season home run record in 1961. A little-known museum in Fargo, North Dakota honors Maris every day for his accomplishments. The museum is a window display and a small theater with a video screen and seats from Yankee Stadium in a wing of West Acres. a massive 950,000-square-foot shopping mall. Near Interstate Highways 29 and 94, the mall has more than 100 stores and is the largest shopping center in the state. Jerseys and other memorablia related to the baseball career of Roger Maris can be seen at the Roger Maris Museum in Fargo, North Dakota. Gary Stoller The museum was the idea of Bob Smith and Jim McLaughlin, two local members of American Legion Post 2, who approached Maris in 1983 about creating a museum in his hometown. Maris, who died two years later, was born in Minnesota but graduated from high school in Fargo. 'Roger liked the idea, but he requested that the museum be put where people will see it and be open to the public free of charge,' says Maris's son Roger Maris Jr. 'The mall liked the idea and agreed to build the Roger Maris Museum in accordance with Roger's wishes.' Smith and McLaughlin gathered items to display for the 1984 opening, and McLaughlin, until his death in 2012, acted as the museum's curator and representative when visitors arrived. McLaughlin was also 'a driving force,' Maris Jr. says, in the development of Roger Maris Gardens at Fargo's Jack Williams Stadium, one of the nation's top American Legion stadiums, and a monument at Roger Maris Drive in Lindenwood Park. Museum visitors can see the ball hit by Maris for his 60th home, tying Ruth's 1927 record, as well as uniforms, bats, awards and a replica of Maris's 1961 locker. Maris was named the American League's Most Valuable Player in 1960 and 1961, and the 1961 plaque for that accomplishment is at the museum. The 1960 MVP plaque was stolen in 2016 and has been replaced with a replica. The theft also pilfered Maris's 1961 Hickok Belt, awarded to the best athlete in all professional sports. The museum displays the 1960 and 1961 Sultan of Swat Crowns, awarded to Maris for the highest slugging percentage, and the 1960 American League Gold Glove Award, given to the best fielder at each position. Besides dozens of items on display, hundreds of other items are in storage that can be rotated into the collection, says Chris Heaton, senior vice president of property management for West Acres Development. Items are changed periodically, and the number of items in storage is growing from donations, he says. Ballpark seats from Yankee Stadium welcome visitors at North Dakota's Roger Maris Museum. Gary Stoller When Maris slammed his 61st home run to surpass Ruth, many Yankee fans, the media and Ford Frick, baseball's commissioner at the time, said the accomplishment was tainted. They noted that teams were scheduled to play 162 games during the 1961 season, compared to 154 games during Ruth's 60-home-run season. Frick was a friend of Ruth, Maris Jr. says, and created two separate home run records, although no such distinction was made for other records set during the longer season. 'Adversity to Roger chasing the record stemmed from the fact that Ruth was the Yankees' greatest player and one of baseball's most beloved players,' Maris Jr. says. 'For Roger, playing for the same team as Ruth in the same city and stadium—a stadium known as the 'House that Ruth Built'—meant he was dealing with fans who were pulling for Ruth to keep the record, or, if not Ruth, Yankee legend Mickey Mantle (Maris's teammate). The New York sportswriters loved the Babe and didn't want his record broken by some kid who had just turned 27 years old.' No one could deny, though, that Maris had a historic, incredible season. 'Roger Maris had one of the best single seasons in baseball history,' Maris Jr. says. 'He broke the greatest record in baseball history—Ruth's 60 homers in a single season—and won the American League MVP, the Sultan of Swat Crown and the Hickok Belt. He was selected to the all-star team, won a World Series championship and was voted the Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year.'

Wisconsin basketball commits lead New Zealand to second win at FIBA U19 World Cup
Wisconsin basketball class of 2025 commit Hayden Jones led New Zealand to its second straight pool play win of the 2025 FIBA U19 World Cup on Sunday. A day removed from its 77-72 victory and fourth-quarter comeback against Argentina, New Zealand pocketed a commanding 73-50 triumph over Mali in its second group stage contest of the circuit. New Zealand held Mali to just 12 total points in the second half, enabling Jones and his teammates to morph a three-point edge into a 23-point blowout. Jones, who committed to the Badgers' program on July 25, 2024, registered a game-best 19 points off 7-of-12 from the field and 4-of-6 from 3-point range. The 6-foot-5 shooting guard also snared eight rebounds and dished out two assists in his 25 minutes of action. Of note, 12 of Jones' points arrived in the second quarter, including a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to push New Zealand ahead at the half. His fellow New Zealand national team member and Badger commit Jackson Ball, who accounted for a team-high 17 points against Argentina, finished with six points, three rebounds and three assists in 22 minutes of play. Through two games, Jones leads his country with 14 points and 10 rebounds per game, followed by 11.5 points and three assists per contest from Ball. The Americans, who roster future professional stars Koa Peat, AJ Dybantsa, Morez Johnson Jr. and Christopher Brown, secured an 88-73 win over Australia in their first pool play game. New Zealand will square off next against Serbia on July 1 for a chance to claim a 3-0 mark in Pool A. If the squad earns an unblemished record, it will advance to the knockout stage in search of an appearance in the tournament's championship match on July 6.

Batchelor ready 'to show the world' on PFL debut
Pontypool's rising MMA star Levi Batchelor will make his Professional Fighters League (PFL) debut on 5 July against unbeaten Tunisian prospect Fahdi "The Gladiator" Khaled in Brussels. The bantamweight bout pits two undefeated fighters against each other, with both men boasting 2-0 professional records and looking to make a statement on one of the fastest-growing stages in mixed martial arts. Advertisement Batchelor, 23, said: "He's a dangerous opponent. It just goes to show once you get to this stage, you can't pick and choose who you fight." The event marks the PFL's first major card in Belgium and continues the organisation's European expansion, building on its growing global profile with stars such as former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou and British standout Dakota Ditcheva among its ranks. For Batchelor, the opportunity represents a major step in his young career and one he is relishing. "It's a bit surreal," he added. "The PFL was never something I thought too much about - it always seemed so big and glamorous in the MMA world. Advertisement "As soon as the opportunity came, I jumped at it. I know I'm ready, I'm grateful to be here, and I'm going to put on a good show. It's the start of something special." Training out of the renowned Shore MMA gym in Abertillery, south Wales - the same camp that has produced Jack Shore, Oban Elliott and Brett Johns - Batchelor has an impressive pedigree. The Welshman enjoyed a decorated amateur career with a 9-1 record, capturing titles in the bantamweight and featherweight divisions on the Cage Warriors Academy Wales circuit. "They've all said to me 'You're more than ready for this step', even before I turned pro," said Batchelor. Advertisement Both of Batchelor's professional wins have come via TKO, underlining the striking ability that has made him one of the most exciting prospects to emerge from the Welsh MMA scene in recent years. "I'm more than ready for this level," he added. "I'm going to shock a lot of people on the night. It's going to be an interesting match-up - but I'm looking forward to it." Now, with the eyes of the MMA world turning to Brussels, the Welshman is embracing the moment and the chance to make his mark on the international stage. "I've never been in a more perfect position to take this chance and show the world who I am," he said. More MMA from the BBC
