Dangerous weather forced the LPGA to suspend the second round of the Amundi Evian Championship as Korda sits near the cut-line.
World No. 1 Nelly Korda is flirting with another major championship disappointment.
After winning the Chevron Championship and five other LPGA events this season, Korda has missed the cut in her last two major championship starts. At the U.S.

Forget the bats they have in their lineup or the pitching in the bullpen, the most important piece of the Philadelphia Phillies may just be the giant fog machine they have in their clubhouse. 
The Phillies, owners of the best record in baseball, swept the Los Angeles Dodgers earlier this week in dominating fashion and celebrated by filling their clubhouse with fog. According to MLB’s Todd Zolecki, it wasn’t a light fog, either, but a “comically heavy” one at that.

It’s not even football season yet, and San Jose State has already found itself squaring off against a bitter, nasty rival — a flock of geese.
Apparently, every evening, these large nuisance birds take it upon themselves to swoop down and fertilize the Spartans’ practice fields. And since the staff has gotten tired of picking up bird poop, they’re soliciting help from a few fake coyotes.

Live radio is apparently alive and kicking.
National radio talk show host Dan Patrick, whose daily show airs on hundreds of radio stations across the country including FOX Sports Networks, had a surprise for guest Paul Skenes on Friday.
National League All-Star game manager Torey Lovullo was a surprise caller to the show and broke the news to Skenes, the rookie sensation pitcher of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Skenes will start Tuesday night’s Major League Baseball’s All-Star game (8 p.m.

Comedian Nikki Glaser took the stage at The ESPYs on Thursday night (that’s how you know it’s a big deal, by the way; it airs on a Thursday) and while she was up there she told a joke about Connor McDavid that didn’t seem to sit too well with his Edmonton Oilers teammate Evander Kane.
To me, the ESPYs are like any other award show. I hear that they’re happening the day of and then I say, “Oh yeah, that’s tonight,” and then go about my day as I normally would.
The ESPYs are especially goofy because the awards make very little sense.

Justin Thomas had things going for him during the opening round of the Genesis Scottish Open, but he could not keep it going.
Justin Thomas had everything going for him on Thursday. He drained plenty of putts, hit numerous approach shots inside six feet, and held the lead on the PGA Tour for the first time in over two years.
Then he came crashing back down to Earth on Friday.

Enes Kanter Freedom went on “Don’t @ Me with Dan Dakich” on Friday to discuss why Team USA elected to keep Boston Celtics guard Jaylen Brown off its roster…twice.
Of all the roster moves Team USA made, this was the most confusing. Brown won both the Eastern Conference Finals and NBA Finals MVP awards, and averaged over 24 PPG in the regular season. And yet, even after Kawhi Leonard removed himself from the team, Brown still didn’t get a spot.
Freedom thinks that Nike, one of the biggest sponsors for America’s Olympic teams, had something to do with this decision.
