A GRIP ON SPORTS • Father’s Day? In the midst of the World Cup? Sorry, there is no time, or space, for a bunch of Father’s Day stories. That’s reserved for the 73rd piece about Christian Pulisic’s injury. Or another tome on Brazil’s magic. Or Germany’s efficient, if late-arriving, attack. Stories about a dad or two? If they have a Cup connection, fine. Otherwise, can someone give me 2,000 words on Eloy Room’s fifth and sixth saves last night? Please.

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. – Wyndham Clark will enter the final round of the U.S. Open with the largest lead since 2011, but the world’s No. 1 player is in the final group with him.

Juwan Ekanga-Ehawa has signed a financial aid agreement with Gonzaga just six days after announcing a commitment to Mark Few's program.
