Former teammates and current rivals hail Lando Norris as he secures his first F1 win
MIAMI — Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium was one of those rare days in any sport, not just Formula 1.
A day where the vanquished praised the victor, and with good reason.
Lando Norris finally reached the top podium step, securing his inaugural F1 victory with a well-executed performance in the Miami Grand Prix.

The United States sailing team had a dramatic looking wreck during practice racing in Bermuda. 
The boat, captained by Taylor Canfield, immediately capsized after the top of the wing appeared to move the wrong way. 
Somehow, the boat missed the nearby boats from the Great Britain team and New Zealand as well. 
Incredibly, none of the team members on the boat were injured in the accident, though the ship did sustain some damage. 
According to SailGP.com, the cause of the capsize was “user error.

After years of searching for his first F1 win, Lando Norris finally has it
MIAMI — His week began with questions about the cut on his nose.
It ended with him celebrating on the top step of the podium.
After years of searching for it, Lando Norris finally enjoyed his day in the sun here in the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix, breaking through with the first victory of his F1 career.

Lando Norris won the first race of his Formula One career, shocking world championship leader Max Verstappen and a sold-out crowd at the third annual Miami Grand Prix on Sunday. A heroic opening effort and a well-timed safety car helped boost the 24-year-old to reach the checkered flag first, while Verstappen’s Red Bull settled for second and Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc finished in third.

Pendrith can finally call himself a PGA Tour winner as the Canadian secured his first victory at the CJ CUP Byron Nelson.
Four straight rounds in the 60’s helped Taylor Pendrith win his first PGA Tour victory at the CJ CUP Byron Nelson.
Pendrith fired off a 4-under 67 to beat Ben Kohles by one shot Sunday.
It was quite the dramatic finish, too.
Kohles carried all of the momentum coming into the final hole. He made birdie on 16 and 17 to go from one back to lead by a shot.

Darius Garland was struggling mightily in the early stages of the Cleveland Cavaliers‘ 106–94 win over the Orlando Magic in Game 7 on Sunday.
Through three quarters, Garland had two points on 1-of-9 shooting, two turnovers and four fouls. The Cavaliers held an eight-point lead over the Magic heading into the fourth quarter, but if they were going to send Orlando home and advance in the playoffs, they needed their second-leading scorer to step up.
Television cameras caught veteran guard Donovan Mitchell chatting with Garland on the bench during the game. His message? Keep going.

Golf can be an extremely fickle and frustrating game, as all weekend warriors will attest. Ben Kohles, a 34-year-old with no career PGA Tour victories, had a golden opportunity to change his life Sunday at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson. 
Instead, it was Taylor Pendrith who saw his life change in the span of about 10 minutes. Pendrith, like Kohles, had never won a PGA Tour event. This was the 74th tournament for the 32-year-old. 
Pendrith led the CJ Cup Byron Nelson after Saturday and had the lead with just three holes left to play.
