Messi has work to catch Mbappé for the Golden Boot. A 3rd Golden Ball is in reach in World Cup final

Lionel Messi has quite a climb to catch Kylian Mbappé for the Golden Boot.

Even if Messi can’t get there, a record-extending third Golden Ball as the tournament's best player seems well in reach after Sunday's World Cup final against Spain in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Kylian Mbappé passes Lionel Messi for career World Cup scoring record with 22 goals

Oh, baby! Sam Burns takes the lead in a British Open he planned to miss

Sam Burns gets his best chance at winning a major he never planned to play. Two weeks after his daughter was born, one week after Burns changed his mind and decided to fly from Louisiana to play in the British Open, he followed his record-tying 62 with a 5-under 65 on Saturday to build a two-shot lead at Royal Birkdale. Perhaps even more impressive was he played with purpose amid the chaos that is Bryson DeChambeau, who played alongside Burns and heard big support from the gallery a day after he theatrically protested a two-shot penalty for improving the path of hi
