1 PRO GOLF: Collin Morikawa withdrew from the final round of the Memorial on Sunday because of back spasms, keeping him from a chance to win for a second time at Muirfield Village in Dublin, Ohio. Morikawa had shot 68 in the third round and was two shots out of the lead. He said he was doing pre-round exercises when a muscle in his lower back gave out.
2 BASKETBALL: The U.S. team (Cierra Burdick, Hailey Van Lith, Linnae Harper and Cameron Brink) beat France 16-12 to win the gold medal at the 3-on-3 women’s World Cup on Sunday in Vienna, Austria, while Serbia prevented an American sweep by rallying to beat the U.S. 21-19 in the men’s title game. It was the third World Cup title for the American women — and their first since 2014. In the men’s final, the U.S. (Jimmer Fredette, Canyon Barry, Kareem Maddox and Dylan Travis) had a 19-15 lead before Serbia — which has won gold in six of the eight World Cups — scored the final six points.
3 AUTO RACING: Haas team principal Guenther Steiner was reprimanded by the FIA for calling race stewards at the Monaco Grand Prix “laymen” after he disagreed with their decision to penalize one of his drivers.

4 PRO GOLF: Tom Mckibbin held off a German challenge to win the European Open in his debut season on the European tour Sunday.

He finished his round of 3-under 70 with birdie on the par-five 18th after missing an eagle putt. Marcel Siem (71) and Maximilian Kieffer (70), who were both bidding to become the first German in 15 years to win a tour event on home soil, shared second place along with French player Julien Guerrier (72).
