Cameron Young runs away with Wyndham Championship to claim first PGA Tour winNew Foto - Cameron Young runs away with Wyndham Championship to claim first PGA Tour win

It was only a matter of time before Cameron Young won on the PGA Tour. Though he's been in the mix plenty of times lately, he left absolutely no doubt at Sedgefield Country Club on Sunday. Young, after briefly building up a massive eight-shot lead, cruised to a dominant six-shot win at the Wyndham Championship. It marked his inaugural Tour win after seven runner-up finishes in his career and four top-10 outings already this season. The win also earned him a $1.48 million check, which was part of an $8.2 million purse.

He grabbed an eight-shot lead at one point on Moving Day after rattling off four straight birdies on his front nine. While he opened with a bogey on Sunday after leaving his approach on the first just shy of the green, Young made up for it immediately. He made five straight birdies and reclaimed his eight-shot lead once again without any issue. Young made the turn at 4-under for the day, and saved his par at the ninth with a huge approach from the thick rough right next to the cart path.

He posted his final round 68 and rolled to the win. Mac Meissner finished alone in second at 16-under, and Mark Hubbard and Alex Noren tied for third at 15-under on the week. Matti Schmid finished T31 with his 1-over final round, which moved him to No. 70 in the FedExCup standings. He's the last man into the Tour's postseason and will get to compete in next week's FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis as a result. Davis Thompson, however, is the first man out. He went 2-under on Sunday, and even drained a 47-footer for a birdie late in the day to move inside the top 70.

Young entered the week at No. 44 in the Official World Golf Rankings and was already a lock for the FedExCup Playoffs. But his win on Sunday will jump him up to No. 16 in the FedExCup standings, which is enough to send him through to the season-ending Tour Championship, and to No. 21 in the OWGR. It's also going to move him to No. 15 in the Ryder Cup standings. He started the week at No. 19 with no path to move into an automatic bid spot — only the top six qualify for the U.S. team that way — but Young is now undoubtedly in the mix to earn a captain's pick to make the team, especially if he can keep this push going through the first two rounds of the playoffs. But regardless of whether or not he's representing the Americans next month or not, Young finally has a Tour win under his belt.

Kenny Bednarek shoves winner Noah Lyles after spicy 200M final at USATF National ChampionshipsNew Foto - Kenny Bednarek shoves winner Noah Lyles after spicy 200M final at USATF National Championships

Noah Lyles edged rival Kenny Bednarek in a spicy 200-meter final at the USATF National Championships Sunday that concluded with Bednarek shoving Lyles in the back. After the race's conclusion, tension between the pair carried over into a post-race interview with NBC. The high-stakes matchup was the latest between the two world-class sprinters. Lyles is a three-time world champion (2019, 2022, 2023) in the eventand defeated Bednarek at the 2024 U.S. Olympic trialsahead of the Paris Games. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] But Bednarek got the best of Lyles in Paris with a silver-medal finish ahead of Lyles' bronze-medal run that denied him double Olympic gold after Lyles was victorious in the 100 meters. Lyles later revealed thathe ran the 200 meters in Paris while sick with COVID-19. Bednarek, meanwhile, has been the dominant male sprinter on the circuit this year and was undefeated in the event in 2025 — until Sunday. Bednarek got the early jump in Sunday's final before Lyles ran him down from behind on the straightaway. Lyles passed Bednarek late to cross the finish line first with a time of 19.63 seconds for his fifth U.S. championship in the event. Bednarek settled for the silver medal with a time of 19.67 seconds. As they crossed the finish line, Lyles gave Bednarek a look from his place one lane to Bednarek's right. Bednarek responded with a shove in Lyles' back.

Bednarek extended his hand, which Lyles begrudgingly accepted for a handshake before an extended exchange of words. Spectators at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, collectively gasped when they saw the slow-motion replay of Bednarek's shove. Then came the post-race interview of both runners with NBC. The tension was still fresh, and the runners were hashing things out in the range of NBC's camera and microphone before the interview commenced.

"I expected a call," Bednarek responded. "I'm telling you, if you've got a problem, I expected a call. That's all I'm saying. "You know what? You're right," Lyles responded. "Let's talk after this." Bednarek then addressed Lyles' late-race look when asked about it. "I'm not gonna say it out here," Bednarek said. "But we've got something to do and talk about. That's all I've got to say." The two have several weeks to work things out before they meet again on the track. With Sunday's result, Bednarek earned a spot in Tokyo for the World Championships. As the reigning world champion, Lyles' spot in Tokyo was already secure. They'll both be among the favorites to win the 200-meter final that's slated to be run on Sept. 19. They'll also have a chance to meet in the 100-meter final in Tokyo.Bednarek secured gold in the U.S. 100-meter finalon Friday. Lyles did not compete, but has a bye into that event as well thanks to his World Championship win in the event in 2023.

Firebrand GOP Rep. Nancy Mace launches bid for South Carolina governorNew Foto - Firebrand GOP Rep. Nancy Mace launches bid for South Carolina governor

Rep. Nancy Mace, who has at times broken with her own GOP leaders and often courted controversy, launched a long-expected bid for governor of South Carolina on Monday, shaking up a crowded primary race that already includes big names in the Palmetto State. "I didn't come to join the club. I came to hold the line. They said stay quiet; I spoke up. They said sit down; I stood up. They said play nice; I fought back," Mace will say in a speech in Charleston, where she made history 26 years ago as the first woman to graduate from the Citadel military college. "South Carolina is tired of politicians who smile for the cameras, lie to your face, then vanish when it's time to lead. I'm not one of them. ... "This isn't about playing defense. It's about going on offense — for your family, your freedom and your future," she will say. "Because I wasn't built to kiss the ring. I don't answer to the establishment. I don't owe those in the back room a single thing. I answer to the people — and the people are fed up." Donald Trump hasn't endorsed a candidate in the race, but her firstcampaign videoincludes a clip of the president saying: "Nancy Mace, she's a fighter. I know about that, she's a fighter." And her campaign platform calls for a "zero-tolerance approach to crime," cutting the state income tax to zero and stopping "the radical gender agenda" and "woke ideology" in South Carolina schools. The 2026 GOP primary will be a family affair within South Carolina's tiny congressional delegation. The son of GOP Rep. Joe Wilson, state Attorney General Alan Wilson, launched his campaign in June, while Rep. Ralph Norman, one of the leaders of the far-right Freedom Caucus and a thorn in leadership's side like Mace,jumped into the racejust last week. Other Republican candidates include Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette and state Sen. Josh Kimbrell. The sitting Republican governor, Henry McMaster, cannot run for re-election due to term limits. Whoever wins the GOP primary is expected to succeed McMaster in the ruby-red state. Mace, 47, a former state lawmaker who is serving her third term in Congress, would be the most well-known candidate nationally. She has repeatedly voted against big spending bills and was one of eight House Republicans who voted to oust then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., in the middle of his term in 2023 — a move that sparked backlash from establishment Republicans. In a building full of attention seekers, Mace has managed to grab headlines through some of her unexpected positions and actions. Despitedeclaringduring her first campaign she "strongly support[s] LGBTQ rights and equality," Mace has madebeing anti-transgendera big part of her political identity more recently. Last year, shortly before DemocratSarah McBrideof Delaware was set to becomethe first out transgendermember of Congress, Macerolled out a measureto ban transgender women from using female-designated bathrooms in the U.S. Capitol. She later said the bill was "absolutely" aimed at McBride, now a fellow congresswoman whom Mace has repeatedly misgendered. In December, Mace accused a man of assault for "aggressively" shaking her hand at the U.S. Capitol, wearing a sling for days after the alleged incident. Federal prosecutorsdecidednot to pursue an assault charge. And in February, Mace gave anunprecedented 50-minute floor speechwhere she accused four men — including her ex-fiancé — of rape, sex trafficking and other sex crimes against her and other female victims, which she called "some of the most heinous crimes against women imaginable." During her speech, Mace also accused Alan Wilson, her future rival for governor, of failing to prosecute the men after, according to Mace, she presented his office with evidence. All four men whom Mace accused of sex crimes have vehemently denied the allegations in statements to NBC News. In response to the February speech, Wilson's office called Mace's accusations that it had failed to act "categorically false," adding that the two politicians know each other well but that she had never discussed the alleged crimes with Wilson or his office before taking to the House floor. Mace has stood by her claims. A spokesperson for the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, known as SLED, said in a statement in February that it had opened an investigation into Mace's allegations of assault, harassment and voyeurism in December 2023 after being contacted by U.S. Capitol Police. Wilson's office said in February that it had not received any reports or requests for assistance from any law enforcement or prosecution agencies regarding these specific allegations. Asked for an update on Friday, Wilson spokesman Robert Kittle said: "Our office has not received anything pertaining to her case. If SLED does turn over the case, it would be sent to the 9th Circuit Solicitor's Office." Born at Fort Bragg, Mace hails from a military family. Her father, retired Brig. Gen. James Emory Mace, had served as commandant of cadets at the Citadel, the prestigious military college located in Charleston. In 1999, during his tenure there, Nancy Macemade historyas the first woman to graduate from the Citadel Corps of Cadets. She briefly served in the South Carolina statehouse before defeating Democratic Rep. Joe Cunningham in the 2020 race for the coastal 1st Congressional District. Mace is hosting a series of town hall events across the state in August, calling it the "Mother of ALL Town Halls." The first will be in Myrtle Beach on Wednesday.

Cambodian and Thai officials meet in Malaysia to iron out ceasefire detailsNew Foto - Cambodian and Thai officials meet in Malaysia to iron out ceasefire details

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) —Thai and Cambodian officials met in Malaysia on Monday for the first round of cross-border committee talks sincea tense ceasefirewas brokered last week after five days ofdeadly armed border clashesthat killed dozens and displaced over 260,000 people. The four-day General Border Committee meetings were initially due to be hosted by Cambodia, but both sides later agreed to a neutral venue in Malaysia, the annual chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, which has mediated the halt inhostilitieslast month. The July 28 ceasefirefollowed economic pressure from PresidentDonald Trump, who had warned the two warring nations that the U.S. would not conclude trade deals with them if the fighting persisted. Washington lowered tariffs on goods from the two countries from 36% to 19% on Aug. 1 following the truce. Monday'stalksfocused on ironing out details to avoid further clashes. Discussions of the decades-long competing territorial claims over the pockets of land near the shared border are not on the agenda. Thailand and Cambodia have beenfeuding neighborsfor centuries, since both were mighty empires. In modern times, a 1962 ruling by the International Court of Justice awarding Cambodia the land on which the ancient Preah Vihear temple stands marked a new low point in relations, and other border territory remained claimed by both countries. Fighting erupted in 2011 at Preah Vihaer, after which the International Court of Justice in 2013 reaffirmed its earlier ruling, rankling Thailand. Relations deteriorated again sharply in May this year, when a Cambodian soldier was shot dead in a brief fracas in one of the disputed border zones, setting off diplomatic and trade sanctions, one against the other. Soon after two incidents last month in which Thai soldiers were wounded by land mines in disputed territory, for which Thailand blamed Cambodia, the two sides downgraded diplomatic relations and fighting broke out, each side blaming the other for starting the armed clashes. Thai Deputy Defense Minister Gen. Natthaphon Nakpanit is leading a delegation that includes representatives of all branches of the military, in addition to the police force and the ministries of foreign affairs, interior and defense, as well as the National Security Council. Thai military spokesperson Rear Admiral Surasant Kongsiri in Bangkok said the main session of the General Border Committee on Thursday would include observers from Malaysia, the United States and China. Deputy Prime Minister and Defense Minister Tea Seiha is leading Cambodia's delegation, accompanied by armed forces commander Gen. Vong Pisen. Despite the truce, tensions have persisted as both countriesorganized toursof the former battle areas for foreign diplomats and other observers to highlight damage allegedly caused by the other side. The two countries also continue to accuse each other of having violated international humanitarian laws with attacks on civilians and the use of illegal weapons.

Dolphins reach extension with DT Zach Sieler, make him their highest-paid defensive playerNew Foto - Dolphins reach extension with DT Zach Sieler, make him their highest-paid defensive player

The Miami Dolphins have locked down Zach Sieler and made him their highest-paid defensive player. The Dolphins reached a three-year, $67.75 million contract extension with the defensive tackle on Sunday afternoon, his agents announced. He will now earn $22.5 million a season, which is more than double what he is currently making, and will get $44 million guaranteed. Sieler, who was a former walk-on player at Division II Ferris State, was selected in the seventh round of the 2018 NFL Draft by the Baltimore Ravens. He was released by the team a year later, though, and the Dolphins picked him up off waivers during the 2019 campaign. He's been in Miami ever since. [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] pic.twitter.com/aJLjhp9nxV — Miami Dolphins (@MiamiDolphins)August 3, 2025 The 29-year-old team captain has erupted over the past two seasons. He's recorded back-to-back seasons with 10 sacks for the Dolphins, which has been the team-high, while averaging 59 total tackles. Before the 2023 season, he had only made 3.5 sacks in a single season. Sieler had signed a three-year, $30.75 million extension with the Dolphins before the 2023 season, and was due to be a free agent in 2027. He is now among the top-10 highest-paid defensive tackles in the league. "[Sieler is] the heartbeat of our defense," Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver said,via the Palm Beach Post. The Dolphins went 8-9 last season and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2021, though the franchise still hasn't won a playoff game since the 2000 season. They'll open the season on Sept. 7 against the Indianapolis Colts.

Former Tennessee coach Derek Dooley announces 2026 Senate bid in GeorgiaNew Foto - Former Tennessee coach Derek Dooley announces 2026 Senate bid in Georgia

ATLANTA (AP) — Former University of Tennessee football coach Derek Dooley on Monday announced his 2026 Republican bid for the U.S. Senate in Georgia againstDemocratic incumbent Jon Ossoff. The 57-year-old Dooley is backed by Gov. Brian Kemp and has beenteasing a bidsince June. He joins a GOP field that includes U.S. Reps.Buddy CarterandMike Collins, as well as activist Reagan Box. Kemp turned to Dooley after decidingnot to run for the seathimself. Georgia Republicans are looking to topple Ossoff, considered the Senate's most vulnerable Democratic incumbent seeking reelection next year. "Professional politicians like Jon Ossoff are the problem," Dooley said in atwo-minute launch video"Lawlessness, open season on the border, inflation everywhere, woke stuff, that's what they represent. We need new leadership in Georgia. That's why I'm running for Senate." Kemp andTrumpmet and said they would try toagree on a preferred candidate. Anyone anointed by both would be stamped as the Republican front-runner. Kemp told Collins and others on July 24 that he would support Dooley, leading Georgia Insurance CommissionerJohn King to drop outof the race. But Trump isn't ready to endorse yet and Dooley is moving forward without Trump's blessing, an indication the joint effort may be faltering. Dooley has never held elective office before. He says he'll run as a political outsider, a laneDavid Perduetraveled in Georgia to win election to the Senate in 2014. Dooley said he would bring "good, old fashioned Georgia common sense," and "work with President Trump, fight for you and always put Georgia first." Dooley is the son of legendaryUniversity of Georgia coach Vince Dooleyand was a lawyer before he went into coaching. Derek Dooley was widely seen as a failure during his three years as head coach at Tennessee, compiling a 15-21 record with the Volunteers before he was fired in 2012. Since then, he has been an assistant coach with the Dallas Cowboys, the University of Missouri, the New York Giants and the University of Alabama. As a teenager, Kemp was a frequent guest in the Dooley home, and he roomed with Derek's older brother, Daniel Dooley, at the University of Georgia. Kemp has the most effectiveRepublican political organizationin Georgia, and Dooley has hired Kemp aides to run his race, including political strategist Cody Hall and fundraiser Chelsey Ruppersburg. But a number of Republicans endorsed Collins after he entered the field last week, including formerU.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Also backing the congressman are state senators including state Senate Majority Leader Jason Anavitarte. Even one of Kemp's official floor leaders in the state House, Rep. Matthew Gambill, parted ways with the governor to endorse Collins. Opponents have already lampooned Dooley for failing to publicly support Trump before now. Someone launched an anonymous University of Tennessee-themed website called"Dooley's Volunteers"that criticizes Dooley for a lack of conservative credentials, interspersed with quotes from sports reporters panning Dooley's coaching tenure. It's the latest high impact move to back a political novice for Kemp, whotapped Kelly Loeffleras a U.S. senator before she lost to Democrat Raphael Warnock in a 2021 runoff. Her campaign was plagued by conflict between Kemp and Trump, who preferredanother candidate. Losses by Perdue and Loeffler to Ossoff and Warnock, respectively,handed control of the U.S. Senateto Democrats. Then in 2022, Trump anointed Georgia football legendHerschel Walkeras the Republican nominee. Walker's candidacyproved flawedand Kemp only swung in to help in the runoff, whichWarnock won. Their effort to jointly screen 2026 candidates produced some results — U.S. Rep.Marjorie Taylor Greenedeclined a Senate run after pressure from other Republicans. Dooley would be far from the first football coach to run for office. His late father was frequently discussed as a possible candidate and his mother, Barbara Dooley, lost a Republican primary for Congress in 2002. Former Auburn University football coach Tommy Tuberville was elected to the Senate in 2020 from Alabama and is nowrunning for governor. University of Nebraska coaching legend Tom Osborne served three terms in the U.S. House. Dooley walked on at the University of Virginia and earned a scholarship as a wide receiver. He earned a law degree from the University of Georgia and briefly practiced law in Atlanta before working his way up the college coaching ladder, becoming head coach for three years at Louisiana Tech before Tennessee.
