Jordan Spieth won the U.S. Open golf tournament after Dustin Johnson missed a short putt that would have forced a playoff. Spieth became only the sixth player to win both the Masters and U.S. Open in the same year. In other events, Sebastian Eriksson and Austin Cindric won races in the Global Rallycross series in Daytona, and the U.S. women's soccer team said they are focused on defeating Colombia in their World Cup match and not distracted by previous trash talk.

EDMONTON, Alberta — Never mind the
infamous punch and the trash talk:
The U.S. women’s team said the only
motivation it needs for defeating Co-
lombia is the opportunity to move on
at the World Cup.
When the teams met almost three
years ago in the London Olympics,
Colombia striker Lady Andrade
sucker-punched U.S. star Abby Wam-
bach in the eye, drawing a two-match
suspension.
Then in advance of Monday’s game
in the round of 16 at the Women’s
World Cup, Andrade made provocative
statements about the Americans to a
reporter.
U.S. striker Alex Morgan wasn’t
taking the bait.
“Yes, we’ve seen what Lady said,”
Morgan said. “We’ve always respected
them. We want to let our actions speak
on the field.”
Coach Jill Ellis said she understands
Andrade’s posturing, but it has no
impact on the United States’ approach
to the match.
“She should say she’s going to win.
Every athlete here is an elite athlete.
At that level, you should have self-be-
lief in what you can do,” Ellis said.
“Does it derail us? Do we focus on it?
No. I just want to win the game.”

Death on top and drew No. 28 Colom-

The Gainesville Sun
OMAHA, Neb. — Shortly after Florida
was eliminated from the College
World Series, it was tough for coach
Kevin O’Sullivan to look ahead to
the 2016 season.
The Gators (52-18) finished with
a run differential of plus-23 in
five CWS games (39-13), but were
undone in by a pair
of one-run losses to
Virginia, including
Saturday night’s 5-4
setback.
“You look at our
roster and the guys
we have coming in,
we’ll probably be one
of those teams that
will be highly thought
of,” O’Sullivan said.
“(We) got a lot coming
back (and) a lot coming in. It’s hard
for me to think about next year.
There’s going to be time to reflect,
time to look back. This team de-
serves that.”
In reaching the CWS for the
fourth time in the past six seasons,
Florida’s 52 wins are second-most
in school history. The only team
that eclipsed that was the Gators’
2011 team that reached the CWS Fi-
nals Series against South Carolina
with a 53-19 record.
“There’s a lot of things we’ll pull
away from this year,” O’Sullivan
said. “But there’s a lot of positive
things. There’s only going to be one
team standing at the end of the year
that’s going to be the champion.

UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. —
Another major for Jordan
Spieth. Another stunning
loss for Dustin Johnson.
Chambers Bay delivered
heart-stopping drama Sun-
day in the U.S. Open when
Spieth birdied his final hole
to become only the sixth
player to win the Masters
and the U.S. Open in the
same year. The real surprise
was not that he won, but
how he won.
Johnson had a 12-foot eagle
putt for the victory. Two
putts would force an 18-hole
playoff today. Less than a
minute later, Spieth was
shocked to be the youngest
U.S. Open champion since
1923.
Johnson’s eagle putt ran
by the cup and stopped more
than 3 feet away. With his
future father-in-law Wayne
Gretzky watching, John-
son’s short birdie putt rolled
by the left edge.
“I’m still amazed that
I won, let alone that we
weren’t playing (Monday),”
Spieth said. “So for that
turnaround right there, to
watch that happen, I feel for
Dustin, but I haven’t been
able to put anything in per-
spective yet.”
Lost in Johnson’s blun-
der was the clutch play of

DAYTONA BEACH — Sebastian Eriksson
and Austin Cindric each led wire-to-
wire in their respective Red Bull Global
Rallycross races Sunday to capture
victories on the final day of the series’
doubleheader at Daytona International
Speedway.
Eriksson capped what he described as
a “great weekend” with his first series
victory in the Supercar class. He opened
up a gap of more than two seconds on
Ken Block in the early going and com-
fortably held off the pack.
“We struggled a little bit (Saturday),”
said Eriksson, who unofficially took an
eight-point lead in the overall standings
ahead of Block. “We didn’t have the
pace to hold up with the faster guys. I
could do my own race (Sunday) and,
this time, it was enough.”
The 22-year-old from Sweden finished
fourth in Fort Lauderdale to start the
season and third in Saturday’s race. He
did not compete in the series last
