Brandt Snedeker, despite making a bogey on his first hole of the day, made a birdie at the last to become just the 10th golfer in PGA Tour history to break golf's magic number, carding an 11-under 59 at the Wyndham Championship on Thursday. Snedeker, who began the first round on the 10th tee, started his day with a bogey 5 on the par 4. But that was the only blemish on his scorecard at Sedgefield Country Club as he added 10 birdies and an eagle the rest of the way. He was the ninth different player to shoot 59 or better on the PGA Tour -- Jim Furyk did it twice, including a 58 in 2016 -- but the first to do it after starting his round with a bogey. Snedeker also is the fourth Tour player to break 60 in the last three years; there were only four to do it in the previous 24 years. He birdied four holes in a row on his front nine for a 32. Snedeker then went on a roll on Nos. 1-9 -- his back nine -- by making six birdies and an eagle for a 27.

NEW YORK -- As his injured wrist continues healing slower than doctors originally thought, New York Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge said Thursday that he hates still being away from the field and out of the lineup. "I'm not frustrated with the pace [of the healing]. I'm frustrated with being out," Judge said. The outfielder has been out of action for exactly three weeks. He suffered a chip fracture in his right wrist when a 94 mph fastball hit him July 26. Hours after Judge suffered the injury, the Yankees announced an approximate three-week recovery period. On Wednesday, general manager Brian Cashman told WFAN 101.9 FM's Mike Francesa that timeline may have been a bit too optimistic. "We thought maybe three weeks would cover it, but it's going to be longer than that," Cashman said. "So we missed on the time frame." Cashman also said Judge received a cortisone shot Monday. "It's something they said that I might have to do at some...

As a service to those fans who have a general interest in the WWE but haven't watched many (or any) matches since WrestleMania, we're happy to provide this FAQ as a guide to SummerSlam 2018. Q. Hey, I've always wondered: Is it "SummerSlam" (all one word) or "Summer Slam" (two words)? A. "SummerSlam," much like "WrestleMania" and "SmackDown." It's the arbitrary combination of names thing that the WWE does for some intellectual property but not others. It's not "RoyalRumble" or "SurvivorSeries." It's the 31st edition of the event and the 11th time that it has been held in the New York Metropolitan area. That includes multiple events in East Rutherford, New Jersey, which WrestleMania and the NFL have taught us is actually New York City's sixth borough. Q. Are  The Rock,  John Cena and  The Undertaker going to be there? A. No, because that level of...
