Nelly Korda is simply in a class of her own right now. The American held her nerve at Riviera Country Club Sunday, draining a two-and-a-half-foot par putt that curled around the lip before finally dropping, giving her the U.S. Women's Open by one shot over Charley Hull and Gaby Lopez. That's back-to-back majors and four career major titles. Korda walks away with two-point-five million dollars and a legacy that keeps growing.
Shifting to hardwood, the New York Knicks are two wins away from their first NBA championship in over half a century, and it isn't just Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns carrying the load. Landry Shamet has emerged as a genuine unsung force in this postseason run, the kind of contributor that championship teams absolutely need but rarely get enough credit for. The Knicks are making believers out of everyone.
And the Spurs are in a tough spot. San Antonio sits down two-nothing to New York in the NBA Finals, with Victor Wembanyama still searching for answers against a relentless Knicks squad. Gregg Popovich, never short on wisdom, has been talking to his young team, but the margin for error from here is razor thin and the pressure is mounting fast.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
