Sports highlights include Marco Penge withdrawing from U.S. Open for health, NBA not penalizing Wembanyama, Landeskog winning NHL awards, veterans shining at World Cup, Donovan urging U.S. World Cup momentum, Serena Williams’ return to tennis, and Montgomery’s MLB walk-off home run debut.

Marco Penge, the rising English golf talent, has decided to prioritize his health by withdrawing from the upcoming U.S. Open, as he continues to battle nervous system, ear, and neck issues. The promising golfer had initially shown strong potential in his PGA Tour debut season.

In basketball, the NBA has decided not to issue a retroactive flagrant-1 foul against San Antonio Spurs' Victor Wembanyama following a controversial game moment involving Jalen Brunson. Despite missing the on-court foul during their Game 3 match-up, officials have opted not to penalize further.

Meanwhile, sports honorees include Gabriel Landeskog, who made history by securing both the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy and the Mark Messier Leadership Award in the NHL. This accomplishment marks him as the first player to do so, reflecting his perseverance and exemplary sportsmanship.
