2031 Ryder Cup site is announced: Spain will be the host
Ramon Nogué, president of the Catalan golf federation, confirmed that Girona, just north of Barcelona, would be the site of the 2031 Ryder Cup to The Associated Press on Friday night. He said that 'next week it will be official' as a formal press announcement is believed to be scheduled for July 25.
The resort, which was formerly known as PGA Catalunya, hosted the Spanish Open, a DP World Tour event, on multiple occasions, and is owned by Irish billionaire Dennis O'Brien.
'Any announcement in relation to future editions of the Ryder Cup will be made in due course,' Ryder Cup Europe told the AP.
The selection comes three decades after Valderrama in southern Spain hosted the first Ryder Cup in continental Europe in 1997.
The biennial competition pits teams of 12 from the United States and Europe. The next Ryder Cup is scheduled for September at Bethpage Black in N.Y. The 2027 Ryder Cup will be held at Adare Manor in Ireland. The 2029 Ryder Cup will return to the U.S. at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota.

Yankees release Marcus Stroman after busy trade deadline, but new additions falter in debut
Associated Press MIAMI (AP) — The New York Yankees released veteran right-hander Marcus Stroman on Friday, a day after making a flurry of moves at baseball's trade deadline. The Yankees acquired All-Star relievers David Bednar and Camilo Doval, as well as utilityman Jose Caballero in separate trades Thursday. New York also optioned right-handers Ian Hamilton and Yerry de los Santos to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to make room on the 26-man roster. The Yankees' new pieces had less-than-ideal debuts in Friday's 13-12 loss at Miami, where New York blew multiple big leads. Bednar allowed four hits and two earned runs — including a home run — in 1 2/3 innings. Doval took the loss after blowing a save opportunity with the Yankees leading in the ninth. Marlins All-Star Kyle Stowers hit a grand slam off reliever Jake Bird, who was added from Colorado. And Caballero had a costly error in right field in the ninth that allowed the Marlins to score two runs and tie the game. 'It's part of being a reliever,' Bednar said. 'Sometimes stuff like that happens. It's all about how you respond and how you're able to bounce back.' Doval added that he thought he executed his pitches well. 'Things did not come out like I wanted,' he said in Spanish. "That is something you can't control.' Stroman, who is in his 11th season in the majors, was cut ahead of the opener of a three-game series against the Marlins and is owed about $5.7 million. 'Obviously, that was tough today,' Yankees manager Aaron Boone said before the game. 'The perception around Stro for us, if you got to be around him the last couple of years, he's an awesome competitor.' Stroman signed a two-year deal worth $37 million with New York before the start of last season and is owed $5,709,677 of his $18 million salary this year. Any team can sign him for a prorated share of the $760,000 minimum. His contract included an $18 million conditional player option for 2026 that could have been exercised if he pitched 140 or more innings in 2025. Stroman pitched only 39 innings so far this season — he missed 2 1/2 months with left knee inflammation. Boone said Stroman took the news of his release like 'a pro.' 'Had a good interaction with him," Boone said. "I feel he'll be a guy I'll stay in touch with for the rest of our lives. Appreciative of him.' Stroman made his ninth start of the season against the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday, picking up the win after allowing four runs and six hits in five innings. Stroman is 3-2 with a 6.23 ERA. ___ AP MLB: recommended Item 1 of 1

Cameron Young leads as second round of Wyndham Championship halted by storms
Young was at 14-under par. Rai, who won his first PGA Tour title a year ago at the Wyndham Championship, was at 13 under and had just missed the green to the left on No. 14. Advertisement Mac Meissner had a 7-under 63 and Sungjae Im shot 64 to post at 12-under 128 from the morning round. Mark Hubbard shot a 66 and was another shot behind. Hubbard needs at least a three-way tie for second to advance to the postseason. The Wyndham Championship is the final tournament in the regular season, with the top 70 advancing to the lucrative postseason. The 36-hole cut was shaping up to be 4 under — possibly 3 under if scores got worse when the round resumed Saturday — and that meant some seasons were over for players like Adam Hadwin and Zach Johnson. Max Homa was at 1 under with five holes to play and in dire need of birdies and then a big weekend to avoid missing the playoffs. Advertisement Adam Scott, at No. 85 in the FedEx Cup, was at 4 under and playing the 15th hole. Young has no such concerns at No. 40 in the FedEx Cup. He is playing Greensboro — he earned an economics degree at Wake Forest — to build on ambitious goals ahead of him. That starts with getting to the Tour Championship and picking up as many points as he can for Ryder Cup consideration. Young grew up in New York — his father was the longtime head pro at Sleepy Hollow — and he had this Ryder Cup circled since the PGA of America announced it was going to Bethpage Black on Long Island. Even with a win this week, Young could only move as high as No. 15 in the standings. The top six automatically qualify in three weeks, after the BMW Championship. 'For me it's not necessarily about this week. I've got a goal. In the middle of September I'd like to be in New York playing on that Ryder Cup team,' Young said. 'If I can achieve that, I can achieve a lot of things over these next four weeks. So I'm trying to keep that in mind rather than the little things along the way. 'Not that winning a tournament here would be little, but I think for me kind of looking off in the distance in that way I think will help me just keep trying to trust what I'm doing and build some confidence along the way.' Meissner is at No. 152 and would have to win to advance. Also at stake is finishing in the top 100 at the end of the fall events to keep his card. Advertisement Gary Woodland delivered the shot of the day, a 7-iron on the par-5 fifth hole that went in for a rare albatross 2. He wound up with a 64, and would have a shot at the postseason with a big week at Sedgefield. 'I've been playing well for a while, and Randy Smith, my coach, has been bugging me to stay patient, just try to hit the shot that's required and have fun,' Woodland said. 'When you're not getting the results you want, that's the hardest part is probably to have a little fun. 'I'm in a lot better place than I was a year ago, so trying to enjoy it a little bit. It was nice to see some go in today.'

Sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson arrested for incident at Washington airport involving boyfriend
Reigning 100-meter world champion Sha'Carri Richardson was arrested last weekend for allegedly assaulting her boyfriend at the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Richardson was charged Sunday with fourth degree domestic violence, according to the police report obtained by The Associated Press. On Thursday, she ran in the opening round the women's 100 meters at U.S. track and field championships in Eugene, Oregon. She has an automatic bye to the world championships in September in Tokyo as the defending champion. The 25-year-old Richardson was booked into the South Correctional Entity (SCORE) in Des Moines, Washington, at 6:54 p.m. last Sunday and released Monday at 1:13 p.m. 'USATF is aware of the reports and is not commenting on this matter,' USA Track and Field said in a statement. Richardson's agent did not immediately reply to an email request for comment. The police report said an officer at the airport was notified by a Transportation Security Administration supervisor of a disturbance between Richardson and her boyfriend, sprinter Christian Coleman. The officer reviewed camera footage and observed Richardson reach out with her left arm and grab Coleman's backpack and yank it away. Richardson then appeared to get in Coleman's way with Coleman trying to step around her. Coleman was shoved into a wall. The report later said that Richardson appeared to throw an item at Coleman, which the TSA indicated may have been headphones. In the police report, the officer said: 'I was told Coleman did not want to participate any further in the investigation and declined to be a victim.' Richardson won the 100 at the 2023 world championships in Budapest and finished with the silver at the Paris Games last summer. She also helped the 4x100 relay to an Olympic gold. She had a positive positive marijuana test at the 2021 U.S. Olympic trials and didn't compete at the Tokyo Olympics. ___ AP Summer Olympics:
