Tkachuk named

to Hockey Hall

(AP) — Keith Tkachuk is going into the Hockey Hall of Fame after waiting for more than a decade and a half since his playing career in the NHL ended. Tkachuk was elected to the Hall of Fame a day after his sons became teammates when Brady was traded from Ottawa to join older brother Matthew with Florida.

Tkachuk is part of a class that also includes center Patrice Bergeron, who won the Stanley Cup with Boston in 2011, and goaltenders Carey Price from Montreal and Pekka Rinne from Nashville. Executive Brian Burke and U.S. women’s hockey pioneer Cindy Curley are also set to be inducted in November.

Women’s golf

purses rise

(AP) — The KPMG Women’s PGA Championship again has the largest purse in women’s golf. It goes up to $13 million this year. That comes a month after the U.S. Women’s Open boosted its prize fund to $12.5 million.

It’s been a decade of increasing purses for the women’s majors. The KPMG Women’s PGA Championship dates to 1955. The LPGA and PGA of America run it jointly and they have a corporate partner in KPMG inspiring purse increases and leaning on analytics to help players and the broadcast. The Women’s PGA starts Thursday at Hazeltine with Nelly Korda going for her third straight major.

Clark wins

without cheers

SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) — Long before he smashed the locker, won the trophies or had any inkling he’d play in a U.S. Open one day, golf for Wyndham Clark was a test of patience, will and temperament. So, maybe it’s only right that Clark’s latest triumph came in front of a New York crowd that, for the most part, came out to Long Island to watch him fail.

Clark’s second U.S. Open win will be remembered for the cheers when he missed shots, and for a tap-in putt on the 18th green that was greeted with an awkward dribble of applause. None of that seemed to bother him, as he held on for a one-shot victory over Sam Burns.
