Sizzling Kiwi beats Burns in Canadian Open playoff
New Zealander Ryan Fox has won for the second time in five weeks on the PGA Tour with another memorable shot in a playoff to beat Sam Burns in the Canadian Open. Fox won the Myrtle Beach Classic last month by chipping in for birdie to win a three-man playoff. This one on the TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley on Sunday took a little longer. What turned out to be the winning shot this time on the fourth extra hole might be more memorable. Fox smoked a 3-wood that landed softly just left of the pin and settled seven feet away. Burns pulled his 3-wood some 55 feet left of the flag. He ran his eagle putt eight feet by and missed that one. Fox missed his eagle try before tapping in for birdie. "That shot I hit on 18 ... probably the best shot I've ever hit."@RyanFoxGolfer sealed the deal with this shot on the fourth playoff hole @RBCCanadianOpen. — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) June 8, 2025 "To be honest, Sam and I had a bit of a pillow fight for three holes," Fox said. "But that shot I hit on 18, that 3-wood, was probably the best shot I've ever hit. It would have been nice to make the putt. But hey, I'll take it." Fox holed a birdie putt from just inside 18 feet on the par-5 18th in regulation for a four-under 66 that allowed him to join Burns at 18-under 262. Burns (62) had finished some two hours earlier with a birdie on the final hole. They played the 18th four more times and there was nothing compelling about the extra holes. Fox finally delivered the goods and now has two wins in just over a month, propelling the 38-year-old from No.75 to 32 in the world and getting him into the US Open next week for being among the top 60. Taiwan's Kevin Yu (66) birdied the last to finish alone in third, one shot out of the playoff. He narrowly missed out on the top 60 to get to Oakmont next week, but joined American duo Cameron Young and Matt McCarty as earning the top three spots for the British Open next month for players not already eligible. Fox already was in the British Open from his victory in the BMW PGA Championship in 2023, the flagship event on the European tour. Fox now has eight wins worldwide — two on the PGA Tour, four on the European tour and two on the PGA Tour of Australasia. Burns was hopeful of ending more than two years without a victory, his last title coming in the final year of the World Golf Championships-Match Play in 2023. Young (65) tied for fourth. He made an incredible par on the 17th. But needing birdie on the par-5 18th to catch Burns, the clubhouse leader at the time, Young flushed a 3-wood into the breeze and into the trees. It took two to get on the green and he made bogey to finish two shots behind. "I thought in the air I was going to have about a 12-footer to win the tournament, and it ended up somewhere I was going to struggle to make par, let alone make a 4. Pretty upset," Young said.

Bernardo and Dias help Portugal to Nations League success
Bernardo and Dias help Portugal to Nations League success Ruben Dias and Bernardo Silva were part of the Portugal team that beat Spain on penalties in Sunday's UEFA Nations League final in Munich. Dias played the whole match at the Allianz Arena while Bernardo was replaced after 74 minutes following yet another all-action shift. Advertisement Spain twice took the lead in normal time, through Martin Zubimendi and Mikel Oyarzabal strikes, only to be pegged back first by Nuno Mendes and then Cristiano Ronaldo. Having dominated early on, Spain went ahead after 20 minutes when Zubimendi followed up after Dias' last-ditch effort to deny Oyarzabal an easy tap in from Lamine Yamal's cross. Dias put in an exemplary piece of defending a few minutes later, racing back to shut out Nico Williams as the winger looked to be closing in on goal. That kickstarted a Portugal attack that culminated in full-back Nuno Mendes arrowing the ball across goal to level up the scores. Advertisement WATCH: Last night at the social club: Our 2025/26 PUMA Home kit However, Spain were ahead just before the break as Oyarzabal latched on to Pedri's pass and slid the ball home. Portugal responded on the hour mark through Ronaldo's prodded volley and that's the way it would remain all the way through to the end of extra time. Spain striker Alvaro Morata was the only man to miss his penalty, leaving Al Hilal midfielder Ruben Neves to hit the winning spot kick. It's Portugal's second UEFA Nations League triumph, having won the trophy in its inaugural edition in 2018/19. Congratulations to Bernardo and Ruben on this achievement! Advertisement Meanwhile, Rodri was not part of Spain's squad for this international break. The Ballon d'Or winner only briefly returned to the pitch in City's penultimate Premier League game of the season following a lengthy injury layoff. Earlier in the day, France were 2-0 victors over Germany in the third place play-off with goals from Kylian Mbappe and Michael Olise. Our players will now return to the City Football Academy to prepare for the upcoming FIFA Club World Cup.

Ryan Fox wins Canadian Open playoff. Joaquin Niemann has 4th LIV Golf victory of the season
CALEDON, Ontario (AP) — Ryan Fox of New Zealand won for the second time in five weeks on the PGA Tour with another memorable shot in a playoff, this time a 3-wood to 7 feet on the fourth extra hole Sunday to beat Sam Burns in the RBC Canadian Open. Fox won the Myrtle Beach Classic last month by chipping in for birdie to win a three-man playoff. This one on the TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley took a little longer. What turned out to be the winning shot might be more memorable. Fox smoked a 3-wood that landed softly just left of the pin and settled 7 feet away. Burns pulled his 3-wood some 55 feet left of the front right pin. He ran his eagle putt 8 feet by and missed that one. Fox missed his eagle try before tapping in for birdie. Fox holed a birdie putt from just inside 18 feet on the par-5 18th in regulation for a 4-under 66 that allowed him to join Sam Burns at 18-under 262. Burns had finished some two hours earlier with a birdie on the final hole for a 62. They played the 18th four more times — the PGA Tour moved the pin position from far left to front right after two extra holes — and there was nothing compelling about the extra holes. Fox delivered the goods on the final hole and now has two wins in just over a month. The victory moved the 38-year-old Fox from No. 75 to No. 32 in the world, getting him into the U.S. Open next week for being among the top 60 in the world ranking. LIV Golf League GAINESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Joaquin Niemann of Chile won LIV Golf Virginia for his fourth victory in the Saudi-funded tour's first eight events of the season, closing with an 8-under 63 to beat Graeme McDowell (66) and Anirban Lahiri (68) by a stroke. Niemann broke out of a logjam at the top with birdies on Nos. 14-17 and parred the par-4 18th to finish at 15-under 198 at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club. The 26-year-old Niemann also won this year in Australia, Singapore and Mexico. He has six career LIV victories after winning twice on the PGA Tour. Bryson DeChambeau, preparing for his U.S. Open title defense at Oakmont, had a 65 to tie for fourth with Phil Mickelson (65) and Bubba Watson (67) at 13 under. LPGA Tour GALLOWAY, N.J. (AP) — Jennifer Kupcho closed with an 8-foot birdie putt in light rain to hold off Ilhee Lee in the ShopRite LPGA Classic, ending a drought of nearly three years without winning. Kupcho, whose four LPGA Tour titles include a major at the Chevron Championship, birdied three of the last five holes for a 5-under 66. She took the lead with a 20-foot birdie putt from just off the green on the 14th, and avoided a playoff with the putt on 18. Lee was the 36-hole leader going into the final round on a rain-soaked Bay Course at Seaview Hotel, so drenched that the par-3 17th was moved up to play only 76 yards. She had two early bogeys and shot 39 on the front to fall back. But the South Korean finished strong, with five birdies on the back, including the last two holes, for a 68. It wasn't enough to catch Kupcho, who finished at 15-under 198 in one of only two LPGA events contested over 54 holes. European Tour AMSTERDAM (AP) — Connor Syme of Scotland captured his first European tour title when he held steady for a 1-under 70 for a two-shot victory over Joakim Lagergren on Sweden in the KLM Open. Syme went into the final round with a two-shot lead and Lagergren never got any closer at The International course. The Swede was still in range with four holes to play, but Lagergren came up woefully short on the par-5 15th and took two to reach the green, making bogey. Lagergren also missed an 8-foot par putt on the par-3 17th to fall four shots behind. He closed with an eagle for a 70. Syme finished on 11-under 273 to win in his 182nd start on the European tour. PGA Tour Champions MADISON, Wis. (AP) — European Ryder Cup captains and teammates Darren Clarke and Thomas Bjorn won the American Family Insurance Championship, shooting a 7-under 64 in better-ball play for a four-stroke victory over four teams. The tournament hosted by Steve Stricker — who tied for second with brother-in-law Mario Tiziani — switched to the team format this year, giving the PGA Tour Champions its only team event. Clarke and Bjorn finished at 32-under 181 at TPC Wisconsin. They opened with a better-ball 59 and shot a 58 on Saturday in a scramble round. The 56-year-old Clarke, from Northern Ireland, won for the fifth time on the 59-and-over tour. The 54-year-old Bjorn, from Denmark, won his first Champions title. Striker and Tiziani closed with a 65 to match the teams of Alex Cejka-Soren Kjeldsen (59), Doug Barron-Dicky Pride (69) and Steve Flesch-Paul Goydos (64) at 28 under. Korn Ferry Tour GREER, S.C. (AP) — Austin Smotherman birdied three of his last four holes and closed with a 4-under 67 for a three-shot victory in the BMW Charity Pro-Am on the Korn Ferry Tour. Smotherman won for the second time on the Korn Ferry Tour, his other title coming in 2021 during a season that first sent him to the PGA Tour. This win moves him to No. 4 on the Korn Ferry points list. He finished at 25-under 260. Sebastian Cappelen (66), Pierceson Coody (67) and Carl Yuan (71) tied for second. Yuan had a one-shot lead to start the final round and opened with four birdies in seven holes. But he made two double bogeys in a three-hole stretch around the turn and never caught up.
