A full day came down the final hole Friday in the 20th Solheim Cup.
And, once again, Carlota Ciganda delivered.
Wide off the tee on the par-4 18th and even farther right with her second shot, the 2023 Finca Cortesin hero, saved par from 12 feet to tie her match and keep the overall competition even entering Day 2.
Europe and the U.S. are knotted, 4-4, after the opening two sessions at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands. In danger of falling behind on home turf, Ciganda added to her Solheim legend in teaming with fellow Spaniard Julia Lopez Rameriz, a cup rookie, to secure an improbable tie against Nelly Korda and Lauren Coughlin.
The sides split the morning foursomes, with the U.S. capturing the first two matches and the Euros claiming the latter two.

As the newest member of the Minnesota Timberwolves, young swingman Jonathan ******* inga couldn't be more excited about his basketball future. After a difficult parting with the Warriors, ******* inga had some tough decisions to make this summer, but he would say it worked out for the best with a two-year, $12.4 million deal to join Anthony Edwards and his rising young team.
Thursday evening marked ******* inga's introductory press conference with the organization, where he answered all sorts of questions relating to his free-agent process and expectations for the future. Notably, he also spoke about teaming up with LaMelo Ball, someone he called his best passing teammate ever (yes, even over Curry).
"I think his ability to pass the ball, I was watching him work out yesterday and I was watching him and the way he can pass the ball, it's incredible," said ******* inga. "I've played with so many point guards in my career, but I've never played with anybody that can pass as good as LaMelo. I'm looking forward to it; I'm excited."
In ******* inga's defense, Ball is famously skilled offensively with career averages of 20.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, 7.3 ******* ists, 1.4 steals, and 0.3 blocks per game on 41.8% shooting. While he often likes to get flashy with the ball, he's undeniably elite as a playmaker and passer, opening up the floor for teammates and adding a layer of flexibility to the rotation.
To claim that Ball is a better passer than Curry might sound like blasphemy, but the stats back it up. Curry averages 24.8 points, 4.7 rebounds, 6.3 ******* ists, 1.5 steals, and 0.3 blocks per game for his career, falling short of even Ball's passing numbers. More so than LaMelo, Curry is much more of a scorer, and he's always had teammates to help him run the offense.

It's been a busy last twelve months for Craig Carton. Following the cancellation of his FS1 program, Breakfast Ball, in July, many speculated about where Carton's path would lead after his network television debut. The results of that journey to today shouldn't be surprising.
First, Carton remained a partner with FOX and worked with Red Seat Ventures to develop a one-hour daily program **** led The Craig Carton Show. His return to WFAN followed, with the official announcement coming in early December. Earlier this year, Carton added another layer to his growing media presence by teaming with Lil Wayne for The Joint Venture podcast. Beginning today, Carton elevates that initial project by bringing The Craig Carton Show to a rebranded and growing OutKick digital platform.
"I have been a frequent guest on OutKick as well as FOX News. So, there's some familiarity that I have with them, and they have with me," said Carton about the early discussions surrounding bringing The Craig Carton Show to OutKick. "I was a guest with Dan [Dakich] about six months ago. Afterwards, they reached out and inquired about my deal with FOX expiring. The interest was mutual."
With Carton's FOX contract coming to an end earlier this summer, the network made an offer to keep him in tow along with The Craig Carton Show podcast. However, the network allowed Carton to retain the podcast and shop it around to other distributors outside of his prior arrangement with SportsGrid.
"I had the ability to go look for other partners, but they [OutKick] had an interest in me. It sort of came together at the same time. I have great respect for FOX as a company. They've been great to me on the sports side. Then to take that and evolve our relationship under the FOX News umbrella was a no-brainer," explained Carton, who co-owns the IP for The Craig Carton Show with FOX. "We're partners in every sense of the word."

Genie Bouchard is teaming up with 7UP for a new campaign tied to the brand's latest citrus shake-up. In an exclusive interview with The Blast, the former tennis star explains why the cheeky concept appealed to her and how its message connects with her own experience of doing things differently.
That connection runs especially deep for Bouchard, who says many of the social media choices she was once criticized for have since become standard for athletes.
7UP
Genie Bouchard is getting behind 7UP's playful push to give lime the spotlight after years of living in lemon's shadow.
The retired tennis star spoke to The Blast about what drew her to the brand's new campaign, which accompanies the launch of 7UP Lime Lemon. The reformulated soda puts lime ahead of lemon in its flavor profile and has inspired an entire tongue-in-cheek campaign built around the supposed influence of "Big Lemon."

For a few months this year, it seemed like veteran Kyle Van Noy could be on his way to the San Francisco 49ers. Instead, the veteran linebacker is headed to the Minnesota Vikings.
The Ringer's Tom Pelissero reported that Van Noy is signing with the Vikings, reuniting him with defensive coordinator Brian Flores.
Veteran OLB Kyle Van Noy is signing with the Vikings, sources tell ringer netflixsports.
Van Noy and DC Brian Flores won two Super Bowls together with the Patriots. Now they’re teaming up in Minnesota, where Van Noy will start on the practice squad to ramp up. pic.twitter.com/VPyL4aosTD
The move eliminates a potential pickup for the 49ers' pass-rushing group and closes the book on months of speculation linking Van Noy to the 49ers.
Back in May, the 12-year veteran told FanDuel TV's Kay Adams he'd "really like to play" alongside fellow BYU alum Fred Warner, calling San Francisco a team with "something cooking." In July, Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox went further, naming the 49ers the best landing spot for Van Noy among top defensive free agents and citing San Francisco's thin edge depth as a playoff contender.

AEW All In 2026 delivered as one of the year's best professional wrestling events this past Sunday in London. On the grand stage of the world-famous Wembley Stadium, one of the annual spectacle's biggest moments was the debut of Kofi and Austin Creed — now known as The New Level after spending years in WWE as Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods of The New Day.
The legendary duo wasn't advertised for the pay-per-view event, but instead made their arrival as a surprise entrant in the promotion's first-ever Trios Roulette Royal match for the AEW Trios Championships. Alongside Swerve Strickland, Kofi and Creed pulled off the win to become the new champions on only their first night on the job.
Kofi and Creed parted ways with WWE in a shocking development in May after a 12-year run teaming together, in addition to teaming with Big E. While Big E remained with the company as a retired wrestler-turned-analyst, Kofi and Creed were asked to take significant pay cuts when it came time to negotiate their contracts.
Speaking on Monday's edition of "The Ariel Helwani Show," they revealed that they only officially signed with AEW a day before All In. Regarding their WWE departure, the reported 50% pay-cut ask was incorrect: it was higher, according to Kofi.
"We just thought the terms that they wanted us to perform under were not fair based on what we brought to the table, based on what we're worth, based on the knowledge and prowess we have as performers and wrestlers," Kofi told Uncrowned. "What we can give back to the younger people and do in entertainment. Being able to go out there and garner a reaction as good guys or bad guys, no matter the situation. We took a lot of great pride in being Swiss Army knives. Whatever the situation was, we would make it great and make it entertaining. Compensation was definitely a big part, for sure, but more so, we wanted to work.

Carlos Alcaraz pumped his fist and put his hand to his ear, reveling in the moment Monday at the US Open.
He authored a 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 victory over Russian Roman Safiullin in his first singles match since April when he injured his right wrist at the Barcelona Open. It's his first major since since he won the Australian Open this past winter, a triumph made him the youngest man to complete the career Grand Slam.
The Spaniard has won the US Open twice before, including last year when he defeated Italy's Jannik Sinner in the final. Sinner, the world No. 1, isn't taking part in the major this time around because of a right knee injury that he's been nursing.
Notably, Alcaraz won't have to face fourth-seeded Novak Djokovic, either. Djokovic could have stood in Alcaraz's path to the final, but the 39-year-old Serbian suffered an agonizing five-set defeat in the first round on Sunday night to Argentine Mariano Navone.
Alcaraz made his return to competition last week during the mixed doubles portion of the US Open. He followed up his absence by teaming up with a 44-year-old Serena Williams.

By any reputable measurement, Bill Belichick is one of the greatest coaches in the history of professional football.
As an **** istant coach, he helped the New York Giants win two Super Bowls thanks to his ferocious, unrelenting defenses. In 24 seasons as the head coach of the New England Patriots, he radically transformed what had been a woebegone franchise for much of its existence, teaming up with Tom Brady to win six Super Bowls.
In his brief time at the college level, though, he's been much closer to a laughingstock than a legend.
REQUIRED READING: Inside Bill Belichick's 'first of its kind' escape hatch in North Carolina contract
In his first season as the head coach at North Carolina — and after his general manager boasted that the Tar Heels were the 33rd NFL team — his squad went just 4-8. It suffered a series of humiliating defeats, losing 48-14 to TCU, 34-9 to Central Florida, 38-10 to Clemson and 42-19 to North Carolina State. Its offense managed just 19.3 points per game, ranking it 120th among 136 FBS teams.

Meghan Markle launches a new As Ever product days before her reported move to the UK with Prince Harry and their kids. She regarded the product as a "fall favorite." Ahead of the announcement, she teased the release of the product in an Instagram post, which featured her in a black dress and cream cardigan with a basket of apples.
On Tuesday, August 25, Markle announced her brand As Ever's spiced apple ***** er, which will be made available for purchase on Wednesday, August 26. "There's something special about the first taste of apple season, with its promise of crisp mornings and changing leaves just around the corner. Our new Spiced Apple ***** er captures that feeling in every jar, with orchard apples and fragrant spices bringing the comforting warmth of the season to every spoonful," the company's newsletter read.
A few days before the announcement, Markle took to As Ever's page to share a video, which seemingly sparked several speculations. In the clip, she could be seen wandering in the woodland, with the basket of apples in her hand. She stops by a tree nearby and looks up before continuing her stroll. Her caption read, "A little hint of what's coming," followed by an apple emoji.
In another post, she introduced the actual product, the "Spiced Apple ***** er."
While this post came amid her return to the UK, it also came at a time when some reports suggest that the ***** ss of Sussex is making a return to acting. It's understood that she could be teaming up with Guy Ritchie for the Netflix series The Gentlemen.

Meghan Markle took to social media to share a cryptic video and message on the As Ever page. This post comes amid reports suggesting that she is returning to acting. The speculation arrives on the heels of her reported move to the UK alongside her husband, Prince Harry, and their kids after they stepped away from royal duties in 2020.
Meghan Markle shared on As Ever's Instagram page a video that has left everyone wondering what it's about. In it, she sported a black mid-length frock, cream-colored cardigan, and boots. The **** ss wandered in the woodland with a basket of apples in her hand. She then stopped by a specific tree and looked above before continuing her stroll. She captioned the post as "A little hint of what's coming," followed by an apple emoji.
According to recent reports, Markle is said to make a return to acting and that she may have landed a major role in a UK production. It has been learned that she could be teaming up with Guy Ritchie for the Netflix series The Gentlemen. Before marrying Prince Harry, Markle was widely known for her performance as Rachel Zane in Suits. In late 2017, she announced that she was retiring from acting to become a member of the British Royal Family.
The **** ss said in the interview, "What's been so exciting [transitioning] out of my career and into, as you said, the causes I can focus even more energy on, very early out of the gate, [is that you] have a voice that people listen to, a lot of responsibility" (via W Magazine).
Despite stepping away from the royal role in 2020, Markle still didn't return to acting but has appeared in documentary-style projects, chronicling her personal and professional life. This includes Live to Lead, With Love, Meghan, Harry & Meghan, Heart of Invictus, and more. She recently also appeared as a guest judge on MasterChef Australia.

After spending his first four seasons with the Denver Nuggets, Peyton Watson was traded earlier this week to the Cleveland Cavaliers, with Watson, the former UCLA Bruin, signing a long-term deal with the Cavaliers to lock the 23-year old guard up long-term.
Watson and Cleveland agreed to terms on a four-year deal worth $88 million, teaming Watson up with a Cavaliers team that's on the precipice of making some serious noise in the Eastern Conference. Denver won an NBA **** le in Watson's rookie season and have been chasing those heights ever since but just how close were the Nuggets and Watson to penning a long-term extension.
The USA TODAY reported earlier this month that the Nuggets offered Watson a four-year $70 million deal, meaning that the move to the Cavaliers was worth an extra $18 million for Watson.
NBA insider Marc Stein was early on the wave of Watson to Cleveland, discussing a potential trade weeks before the eventual move took place.
"League sources say Cleveland has been exploring various trade possibilities with both [Dennis] Schröder and [Max] Strus that would enable the Cavaliers — provided one or both of those salaries could be shed — to make a representative four-year offer to Peyton Watson," Stein said. "Schröder is scheduled to earn $14.8 million in 2026-27 and $15.5 million in 2027-28 ... with only $4.4 million guaranteed in the latter season. Strus holds an expiring $16.7 million contract for 2026-27 to complete a four-year, $63 million deal he originally signed with Miami."

In what could be her first step on the road back to the U.S. Open, Serena Williams played tennis on U.S. soil for the first time in nearly four years Monday, teaming with her sister Venus in doubles at the Cincinnati Open. The sisters looked rusty in a first-round match against Marta Kostyuk and Peyton Stearns, losing 6-2, 1-6, 1-0(8).
It was just Williams' fourth match, and her first on a hard court, since she opened the second chapter of her illustrious career earlier this summer. Four years after saying she was "evolving away" from tennis after the 2022 U.S. Open, the 23-time Grand Slam champion began her comeback on grass in June, pairing with Canadian rising star Victoria Mboko to win a doubles match at Queen's in London and ending her expedited grass-court season with a first-round singles loss at Wimbledon to the Australian Maya Joint in three tight sets.
The Williams sisters, who together have won 14 Grand Slam doubles ****** les, were supposed to team up for doubles at Wimbledon but had to withdraw before their first match because of a knee injury that Serena, 44, picked up playing Joint.
Serena Williams hasn't yet announced her plans — for singles and either of the doubles events — for the U.S. Open later this month, but if she decides she is fit enough to play, the opportunity is there for her to follow the same playbook that she used ahead of Wimbledon and contest a couple of doubles matches before taking to the singles court. The U.S. Open is holding three wild-card entries open for its lid-lifting mixed doubles tournament, the field for which was announced Monday, which could allow Williams the opportunity to get more matches under her belt. The U.S. Open's main draw singles event begins Aug. 31.
On Monday, Williams looked to be moving well in a first set that was understandably sluggish considering her lack of recent matches.

Just when you thought YouTube Golf couldn't get more popular, one of the most famous people in the world arrives on the scene.
LeBron James has launched a YouTube channel dedicated to golf. His first video was released Saturday morning, featuring James and his former teammates from the Cleveland Cavaliers 2016 championship team celebrating a 10-year reunion with a round of golf at Cabot Highlands Resort's Castle Stuart Links in Scotland, which is ranked No. 55 among Golfweek's Top 100 International Courses.
The 90-minute video features most of the memorable characters from that Cavs squad, including Kevin Love, Tristan Thompson, Richard Jefferson, Channing Frye and J.R. Smith, who is actually quite the stick (you might remember that he went back to college and played golf at North Carolina A&T after retiring from the NBA). Apparently Kyrie Irving couldn't make it, though.
The group plays a 3-on-3 match that gets a little heated at times, with James, Love and Jefferson teaming up against Thompson, Frye and Smith. I won't spoil who wins, but let's just say there weren't a ton of darts thrown or birdies made between the six of them. But it sure seemed like they were having a great time, and hey, that's all that really matters.
Earlier this week, a reporter at the FedEx St. Jude Championship posed a hypothetical to reigning Masters champ and world No. 2 Rory McIlroy: If he could offer a golf lesson to any one celebrity, who would he choose?

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Weeks before voting ended in California's primary for governor, Los Angeles-based influencer Shaka Smith took to Instagram to tell his more than 700,000 followers whom he was voting for and why.
"Healthcare shouldn't bankrupt you, housing should not feel impossible, polluters shouldn't pass their bill to us and artists should not be replaced by AI," Smith said. "That's why I'm supporting Tom Steyer for governor."
But Smith started the video with a disclaimer: "This is an ad, and honestly, I wish more political content said that first." His caption specified that he was paid by Steyer's campaign.
California is one of two states, along with Texas, that have passed policies requiring content creators to say if they've been paid by a political campaign to post, and the Golden State is considering cracking down by fining people who don't.
Campaigns have long worked with celebrities and major influencers to win over voters, but now they are teaming up with smaller creators — sometimes with fewer than 100,000 followers — to reach more tailored audiences. That has sparked debates about whether disclosure rules for political advertisements should apply to content creators, who are expected to play prominent roles in the upcoming midterms and the 2028 presidential election.

Williams recently spoke about the decision.
"I put in the hard work, and felt ready to accelerate the process," he said. "I saw this summer, when I moved up to 17U, that I was ready to play with the 2027's and was one of the best in their class too."
Williams played U17 basketball for Team USA this summer, teaming up with current Duke forward Joaquim Boumtje-Boumtje and Beckham Black (a Duke recruit). In seven games for Team USA, Williams averaged 14 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.1 **** ists while shooting 42.4% from beyond the arc, helping lead Team USA to a gold medal.

The 2016-17 Warriors might be the greatest team of all time, but Kevin Durant believes the 2026-27 76ers are as good on paper. Durant implied that's what he thought during a USA Basketball event on Sunday, and he doubled down on Monday when replying to a fan on Instagram who said the two teams "ain't close." "Ain't close lmao," Durant replied. "Joel, mvp recently. Jaylen brown, recent finals mvp, Tyrese Maxey, all star the last 3 years. We all know what bron does. Klay Thompson, never a mvp candidate in nothing, 22ppg. Draymond, 14ppg 7 rebounds 6 ***** ist, Steph a mvp just like Joel was. I don't get how the warriors team is better on paper."

And what he going to be able to get you in the postseason? Nothing. So, you got to have some depth at that point guard position. Guys who know how to play, guys who know and understand the game and who can make the game easy for guys around him. So, I always think, bro, and when you look at him because he up in age, he always in great ***** shape. And for me, y'all know me, bro. I'm a guy who loves a guy in great shape.

What was your reaction to James joining the Sixers? **** istant coach #1 : "I'm shocked. He's already experienced teaming up with talent before. But it's a real risky move as far as trying to get Maxey, Edgecombe, Jaylen Brown, Embiid and himself to co-exist and be on the same page. This isn't fantasy basketball. It's not that easy. He knows that." **** istant coach #2 : "I don't think their championship fortunes change just because they got LeBron. They already had a solid team. But getting LeBron probably helps them more with motivating other people on the team by example. But as far as the team itself before he went there, they were still in good shape to be a solid team. I don't know if they were a championship team. And I don't know still if they're a championship team with LeBron."
