drops in

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Nelly Korda won the 81st U.S. Women’s Open for her second consecutive major victory. She held off Charley Hull and Gaby Lopez by one shot when her final 2 1/2-foot par putt curled perilously around the cup and finally dropped in.

Korda’s first U.S. Open win is the fourth major victory of her career, and she claimed it with a steady 2-under 69 in the final round. But only after her last putt caught the left edge and toured half the circumference of the hole before dropping. Korda made a 9-foot birdie putt on the 17th.

Mariners

DETROIT (AP) — Kevin McGonigle homered in the fourth inning and hit a two-run single off All-Star closer Andrés Muñoz with two outs in the bottom of the ninth that gave the Detroit Tigers a 5-4 victory over the Seattle Mariners.

Wenceel Pérez tripled home two runs in the seventh to begin Detroit’s comeback from a 4-1 deficit as the Tigers took two of three games in the series.

Muñoz struck out Spencer Torkelson to start the ninth, then walked Zach McKinstry and Pérez. Both advanced on Matt Vierling’s groundout before McGonigle lined a single off the glove of leaping second baseman Cole Young to give Detroit its fifth victory in six games.

Will Vest pitched a scoreless inning for the win.

Skubal

effective

COMSTOCK PARK, Mich. (AP) — Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal pitched five scoreless innings Sunday in the two-time Cy Young Award winner’s first minor league rehabilitation appearance since undergoing elbow surgery last month.

Skubal struck out six and allowed two hits for Single-A West Michigan against Dayton. Forty-four of his 54 pitches were strikes. The 29-year-old left-hander had a non-invasive procedure on May 6 to remove a loose body from his throwing elbow.

Skubal last pitched for the Tigers on April 29. He’s 3-2 with a 2.70 ERA in seven starts this season.

Zverev wins

in France

PARIS (AP) — Alexander Zverev is no longer one of the best players never to win a major title. He’s finally a Grand Slam champion. In his fourth major final Zverev beat Flavio Cobolli 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, 6-7, 6-1 for the French Open title.

It was a unique opportunity for Zverev without Jannik Sinner or Carlos Alcaraz across the net and the third-ranked German took full advantage on the red clay of Roland Garros. The 14th-ranked Cobolli had never been past a Grand Slam quarterfinal until this week.

He was attempting to become the first Italian man to raise the singles trophy at Roland Garros since Adriano Panatta 50 years ago.

J.T. Poston

recovers

DUBLIN, Ohio (AP) — J.T. Poston has won the Memorial, just not the way anyone would have imagined. Poston returned Sunday morning to complete the third round and built a four-shot lead. But that was gone on the turn and it turned into a mad scramble.

Poston made a 7-foot birdie putt on the final hole for a 72 to force a playoff with Ryan Gerard. He won on the second extra hole when Gerard three-putted from some 55 feet. Gerard was mistake-free most of the day until missing a 6-foot par putt. The victory gives Poston a spot in the next three majors.

Knicks are

back home

NEW YORK (AP) — Madison Square Garden has seen just about everything in sports and entertainment, from the first Muhammad Ali-Joe Frazier fight to the first Wrestlemania. It just hasn’t seen much of the NBA Finals. The New York Knicks have brought the finals back to their home court for the first time since 1999.

Fans are spending astonishingly high prices for tickets and the potential to witness a celebration more than five decades in the making. With a 2-0 lead over Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs, the Knicks are halfway to their first championship since 1973.

Game 3 is tonight, with President Donald Trump in the crowd.

Vegas holds

2-1 advantage

(AP) — The Carolina Hurricanes find themselves at a potential crossroads in the Stanley Cup Final. They fell behind by four goals in Game 3 at the Vegas Golden Knights, changed goaltenders and still lost in double overtime to trail 2-1 in the best-of-seven series.

After a bunch of blown leads by either team and momentum swings both ways, who starts in net for Carolina between Frederik Andersen and Brandon Bussi is a lingering question, along with who can take control of a matchup of NHL powerhouses that has become wacky through three games.
