Nick Kyrgios has pulled out of the U.S. Open. That means he will have missed all four Grand Slam tournaments this year. He reached his first major final at Wimbledon in 2022 and the quarterfinals at the U.S. Open. But the 28-year-old from Australia has participated in just one official match all of this season — a loss in June in Stuttgart, Germany.

Jan-Lennard Struff also pulled out on Thursday.

Ewing is ranked No. 39, missed the cut in two of the last three majors and her most recent top-10 finish in the biggest events in golf came at the Chevron Championship in early 2021. Former Women's U.S. Open champion Jeongeun Lee6 is among those in second place.

Legacy already has announced two-time Le Mans winner Mike Rockenfeller will replace Gragson in the No. 42 Chevrolet for the next two races. Legacy's statement says it's "proud" that Gragson is taking ownership of his actions.

The Mississippi Supreme Court says it will not remove NFL Hall of Famer Brett Favre as a defendant in a civil lawsuit that seeks to recover millions of dollars of misspent welfare money. Three justices issued a brief ruling Wednesday. They affirmed a trial court judge's decision that Favre must remain as a defendant in the civil lawsuit filed by the state Department of Human Services. Prosecutors say millions of welfare dollars for low-income Mississippi residents were squandered on projects supported by wealthy or well-connected people from 2016 to 2019. The department sued more than three dozen people or businesses in 2022 to try to recover some of the money.

Boutier is the hottest player around after following up her first major title at the Evian Championship by winning the Scottish Open last week.

Jon Rahm is the No. 1 seed in the FedEx Cup playoffs, which begin Thursday at the St. Jude Championship. That's not a good omen based on recent history. Only one player in the last 13 years has started the PGA Tour's postseason as the No. 1 seed and gone on to win the FedEx Cup. That was Jordan Spieth in 2015. Spieth had a big lead that year. Rahm does not. He's narrowly ahead of Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy. This is the first of three playoff events. Only the top 50 from the 70-man field advance to next week.

The all-time hits ...
Aaron Rodgers had his first opportunity to face an opponent as member of the New York Jets. Bryce Young got his first taste of NFL competition, period. The 18-year veteran and this year's No. 1 overall pick draft both turned in solid performances as the Carolina Panthers hosted the Jets for the first of two days of joint practices. The 39-year-old Rodgers dominated the early portion of practice, completing 8 of 10 passes during 11-on-11 drills with two deep completions to Allen Lazard and C.J. Uzomah. But things didn’t end well for Rodgers as the Jets went three-and-out during two-minute drills at the end of practice. Young looked particularly sharp in two-minute drills going 5 of 7 and leading the Panthers to a field goal.
