Bayern beats Real 3-1 in Texas as clubs unveil new signings
NEW YORK — Bayern Munich beat Real Madrid 3-1 in an entertaining International Champions Cup match in Houston on Saturday.Both sides gave debuts to high-profile acquisitions in a game that featured appearances from 41 different players.Real, who started with a full-strength side that included a debut for former Chelsea attacking midfielder Eden Hazard went 1-0 down after just a quarter of an hour.David Alaba cut the ball back from the left and although Corentin Tolisso's first shot was saved off the line he hammered the rebound into the roof of the net to put the Germans 1-0 ahead.Real, though, had the better of the first half with only Manuel Neuer's presence and Karim Benzema's profligacy preventing them from drawing equal in a relaxed but end-to-end match.Bayern made five...

Emery happy to be patient in transfer market
CHARLOTTE, North Carolina — Arsenal manager Unai Emery said he is happy to be patient in the transfer market and will wait for the right player to become available.The Gunners head coach was speaking after watching his side make it two wins from two in the International Champions Cup with a 3-0 victory over Fiorentina in Charlotte."Really I am with patience because we want to choose the best solution," Emery said. "Some players are very expensive and we are waiting for this possibility."We don't want now to go to the second line of players."We are waiting. We have very good players. We have very good young players."We are aware also that we need to improve some players in this squad. I want to sign one, two, three or four players only if we can be sure...

Arsenal Next Gen ready to 'take on the world', says youngster Saka
CHARLOTTE, North Carolina — After impressing in a starting role for Arsenal in their 3-0 win over Fiorentina on Saturday, 17-year-old Bukayo Saka said he is ready to "take on the world" as part of an exciting next generation of talent.Arsenal made it three wins from three on their tour of the United States, including two in the International Champions Cup, with victory in humid conditions in Charlotte, where youngsters again came to the fore.With Arsenal yet to make a major signing in the summer transfer window, coach Unai Emery has instead utilized some of the young talent at his disposal in the US, and has been rewarded as all eight of Arsenal's pre-season goals have been scored by youngsters.One of those is Saka, who again shone in a wide role against Fiorentina, and now...

Nketiah scores double as Arsenal make it two wins from two in ICC
CHARLOTTE, North Carolina — Eddie Nketiah continued his fine pre-season form with two goals as Arsenal produced a 3-0 victory over Fiorentina in the International Champions Cup in Charlotte on Saturday.Arsenal fielded a young side with Nketiah, who scored the winner against Bayern Munich in Arsenal's last match, leading the line, and the 20-year-old wasted no time in finding the net again when he opened the scoring in the 15th minute.Fiorentina pushed for an equaliser as Arsenal rang the changes in the second half, and two substitutes – Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Alexandre Lacazette – combined to create an unmissable chance for Nketiah to make it two in the 65th minute.Defensive errors were again a common occurrence in the Arsenal backline, but Fiorentina failed to take advantage,...

Tearful Sun roars to gold as Peaty shatters world record
GWANGJU, South Korea — China's Sun Yang captured a record fourth 400 meters freestyle world title in an acrimonious final Sunday, before Britain's Adam Peaty produced an eye-popping world breaststroke record.Sun pumped his fists and let out a visceral roar after a pulsating race brimming with bad vibes and capped by rival Mack Horton's refusal to join the Chinese giant on the podium after the medal ceremony in Gwangju."Not everyone likes me – I don't care," growled Sun when asked about Horton's snub."It's okay if you don't respect me personally, but at the victory ceremony –which is a sincere occasion – you should show respect to my country."The controversial triple Olympic gold medalist slapped the water in delight, pointing to his...

Isner books Newport final against Bublik
NEW YORK — Three-time champion John Isner fended off fourth-seeded Frenchman Ugo Humbert 6-7 (4/7), 7-6 (7/5), 6-3 Saturday to reach the final of the ATP grass court tournament in Newport, Rhode Island.Isner, trying to get his season back on track after he was sidelined by a stress fracture in his foot after reaching the final in Miami in April, will take on seventh-seeded Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan, a 7-6 (7/5), 3-6, 6-4 winner over Spain's Marcel Granollers.In sweltering heat, Isner and fourth-seeded Humbert played the first two sets without a service break.Isner's miscue on a backhand volley at 2-2 in the first-set tiebreaker was the only opening Humbert needed to pocket the set. Isner double-faulted early in the second-set tiebreaker, but won five straight points as he...

Westwood left trailing after blistering start
PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland — Lee Westwood's latest bid to secure an elusive major championship got off to a blistering start on Saturday, but he heads into Sunday's final round needing a major turnaround to have any hope of lifting the Claret Jug.The 46-year-old Westwood has had 18 top-10 finishes in major championships and in half of them he has been inside the top three – but he has yet to get over the finish line in first place.On Saturday, Westwood looked determined but relaxed as he took on the Dunluce links, striking the ball superbly, birdieing the second, third and fourth holes and briefly taking the outright lead.While his playing partner Tommy Fleetwood was also in excellent form and Shane Lowry was outstanding as he surged ahead, Westwood suffered a setback on the...

Four-shot lead no guarantee for Lowry as wild weather looms
PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland — Shane Lowry knows from personal experience that a four-shot lead starting the final round of a major championship is hardly insurmountable, never mind the wicked weather expected to throw an extra layer of uncertainty into the British Open mix on Sunday.Lowry led by four strokes after 54 holes at the 2016 US Open at Oakmont, but struggled to a closing 76 as Dustin Johnson sauntered to victory.That experience might serve the Irishman well this time, and he will be metaphorically if not literally carried by fervent support from the Royal Portrush galleries who have adopted him as one of their own.But with polished performer Tommy Fleetwood in second place, and the relentless Brooks Koepka lurking seven behind, the engraver will not start etching Lowry's...

Brilliant Lowry shoots 63 to seize four-shot Open lead on 'incredible day'
PORTRUSH, United Kingdom — Ireland's Shane Lowry said it had been "the most incredible day" after firing a stunning eight-under-par 63 on Saturday to take a four-shot lead over Tommy Fleetwood into the final round of the 148th British Open at Royal Portrush.The 32-year-old delighted the thousands of fans following him around the course in the first Open to be held in Northern Ireland since 1951, pouring in eight birdies in his bogey-free third round, the best of the championship.His 16-under overall total of 197 is the lowest after 54 holes in British Open history.Lowry saw a 20-foot putt to tie the major record of 62 on the 18th green slip narrowly past the edge of the hole, but put himself in total control at the top of the leaderboard."Honestly, that's the most...
