Spaun snatches major glory after incredible US Open finish
JJ Spaun snatched major glory at the US Open after overcoming a nightmare start to edge ahead of a congested leaderboard and claim a dramatic victory at Oakmont. Spaun went into the final round a shot behind Sam Burns but saw his hopes seemingly ended by five bogeys in his first six holes, only to charge back into contention after a lengthy weather delay. The American posted two long-range birdies on his back nine - as many of the final pairings struggled on a saturated course, before cancelling out a bogey at the 15th with a two-putt birdie at the driveable par-four 17th to take a one-shot lead to the final hole.

Palmeiras dá sufoco no Porto na estreia do Mundial de Clubes, mas falta capricho no último passe no empate em 0 a 0; análise
Palmeiras e Porto entraram em campo com uma certeza: a vitória na estreia era praticamente a garantia do primeiro lugar do Grupo A, que ainda tem a presença do Al Ahli e o Inter Miami, que empataram na estreia da Copa do Mundo de Clubes. Por isso, os times se lançaram ao ataque e buscaram o gol até o fim. E o placar de 0 a 0, neste domingo, em Nova Jersey, frustrou ambas as equipes. Especialmente a de Abel Ferreira que teve mais domínio de jogo e força ofensiva. Agora, o Palmeiras enfrenta o Al Ahli, na quinta-feira, às 13h, também em Nova Jersey. O Porto pega o Inter Miami, de Messi, no mesmo dia, às 16h, em Atlanta. Os quatro times somam um ponto cada, e o saldo de gols pode fazer a diferença na classificação final. Tanto […]
