Bryant takes Open
Bart Bryant made a 25-foot birdie putt on the final hole to win the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open at Endicott, N.Y., for the second time in six years. With playing partner

Bradley, the second-round leader, bogeyed the par-4 15th in a 68. Bryant finished at 16-under 200. Tom Gillis (67) and Marco Dawson (68) tied for third at 13 under, a stroke ahead of

Park closed with a 4-under 68 to match Salas at 23-under 265 at Brickyard Crossing. In the playoff, Salas slid a longer birdie putt just left of the hole.

Norwegian wins
Viktor Hovland became the first Norwegian to win the U.S. Amateur, beating UCLA sophomore Devon Bling 6 and 5 to cap a dominant week at Pebble Beach. Hovland took control of the match by winning four consecutive holes midway through the morning round of the 36-hole final and managed to scramble back after his rare mistakes to give him the Havemeyer Trophy. Hovland trailed after only one hole in six rounds of match play as he was in control throughout. Bling lost the match when he missed a long birdie putt on the 31st hole.
BASEBALL Darvish goes 1 inning
Chicago Cubs right-hander Yu Darvish lasted just one inning in his rehab start with Class A South Bend on Sunday, casting doubt on his availability for the rest of the year. Darvish, who has been sidelined by triceps and elbow injuries, shook his arm as he left the field after striking out Great Lakes’ Romer Cuadrado with a 95-mph fastball for the last out of the first, but said he had a good first inning. When he warmed up for the second, he threw six pitches and winced on each one, saying later he “felt something in there.” He then walked to the dugout. Darvish, who turned 32 on Thursday, signed a $126 million, six-year contract with Chicago in February. But he has made just eight starts in his first year with the Cubs, going 1-3 with a 4.95 ERA. Darvish said he would ask for an MRI when he got back to Chicago and wasn’t sure if would miss the rest of the year.
FOOTBALL Sources: Martin OK
The Dallas Cowboys received the good news they expected after a preseason knee injury to Zack Martin, the highest-paid guard in the NFL. Two people with knowledge of the diagnosis said Sunday that Martin has no structural damage in his hyperextended left knee and should be ready for the opener. Martin was injured in the second quarter of the Cowboys’ 21-13 exhibition loss to Cincinnati on Saturday night.
