SPORTS BRIEFING
MEN’S GOLF
English wins Travelers, beating Hickok — Harris En-
glish birdied the eighth hole of sudden death to win the Trav-
elers Championship on Sunday, beating Kramer Hickok after
both birdied the final hole of regulation to force the playoff. It
matched the second-longest sudden-death playoff in PGA Tour
history. English shot a 5-under 65 to finish the fourth round at
13 under, then made a 5-foot putt on the seventh trip down the
18th hole of the day. Hickok had missed a 36-foot birdie putt
and finished the playoff with eight consecutive pars.
SOCCER
MLS looks into alleged racial abuse — Major League
Soccer is investigating allegations of racial abuse directed at
Portland Timbers midfielder Diego Chara. Timbers coach
Giovanni Savarese said after Portland’s 1-0 loss to Minnesota
United on Friday night that a “discriminatory word” had been
used by a Loons player toward Chara, who is Black and from
Colombia. “MLS has zero tolerance for abusive and offensive
language, and we take these allegations very seriously,” the
league said in a statement. Minnesota United released a state-
ment saying the Loons player involved, who was not identi-
fied, denied making “any derogatory remarks.”
TOUR DE FRANCE
Van der Poel honors grandfather — What his grandfa-
ther failed to do in 14 editions of the Tour de France, Mathieu
van der Poel achieved at his first attempt. The Tour debutant
pointed a finger toward the sky in memory of his grandfather,
Raymond Poulidor, as he crossed the finish line of the second
stage at cycling’s biggest race on Sunday to snatch the cov-
eted yellow jersey. “It’s a shame he is not here, but what can I
do,” the 26-year-old Van der Poel said about Poulidor, while
holding back tears after his maiden Tour stage win following
a blazing attack. Poulidor, who died in November 2019, took
part in 14 Tours from 1962-76, finishing in second place over-
all three times and third five times. The younger Van der Poel
jumped out of the group of favorites in the 2-kilometer climb
leading to Mur-de-Bretagne, where the finish was set. The
Dutchman used his greater power with 700 meters left to drop
all the main contenders in the long stretch of road. Defending
champion Tadej Pogacar was next across the line.

“The past few days, the
battle with Lizette, it’s been a
lot of fun. It’s been stressful.
I think it’s had everything,”
Korda said. “But I just can’t
believe it. I’m still in shock.”
At 19-under 269, she tied
the Women’s PGA record to
par last matched by Inbee
Park at Westchester Country
Club in 2015.
Korda won for the second
straight week — her third
LPGA title this year — and
it was enough to become the
first American at No. 1 in the
women’s world ranking since
Stacy Lewis in 2014.
Jin Young Ko had held the
No. 1 spot for nearly two years.
Her only mistake came
when it didn’t matter.
Korda seized control with
a 6-iron she caught heavy
enough to worry it might not
clear the pond on the par-5
12th and was relieved when it
rolled out to 8 feet for eagle.

BASKETBALL
That turned into a three-shot
swing when Salas — who
spent the weekend hitting hy-
brids on holes that Korda had
short irons — hit wedge over
the green into a bunker and
made bogey.
“That was my favorite
wedge, too,” Salas said. “The
good thing is I was commit-
ted to that shot. This wind is
pretty swirly. Maybe a little
drop-kick, I don’t know. Got
a few extra yards out of it.”
Korda’s older sister, Jessica,
was among the first to em-
brace her on the 18th green as
the emotions began to emerge.
It was a big celebration for
one of the top sporting fam-
ilies in the world. The Korda
sisters each have six LPGA
victories. Their younger
brother, Sebastian, is at Wim-
bledon this week as the 50th-
ranked player in men’s tennis
and has a chance to join them
in Tokyo for the Olympics.
Their father is Petr Korda,
who won the Australian
Open in tennis in 1998.

“Both organizations have
really strong ownership, pas-
sionate fan bases, good coach-
ing, strong support staff and
ultimately really good players,
and that’s why we’re going to be
facing each other in the Stanley
Cup finals this year.”
Montreal is looking to hang
a 25th Cup banner in the raf-
ters at Bell Centre with a team
that has plenty of similarities to
Tampa Bay’s 2015 group. That
was the last time these teams
met in a playoff series, and it
was in the second round.
The Lightning now are a
grizzled group with a handful
of heartbreaking losses and the
2020 bubble triumph in the
rearview mirror.
“It took a lot to get here: the
heartbreak in 2015 getting all
the way to the final and losing
and then 2016 going to Game
7 against Pitt, losing that one,
2018 against Barry Trotz (and
the Washington Capitals) — he
beat us in Game 7 in this build-
ing, the heartbreak to Colum-
bus in 2019,” coach Jon Cooper
said. “It was all building blocks
to get to here.”
Until this improbable run led
by goaltender Carey Price, the
Canadiens hadn’t won a round
since losing to the Lightning
six years ago. Qualifying for the
playoffs just twice in the previ-
ous five seasons made for plenty
of turnover, so this young Mon-
treal team reflects Tampa Bay

teams of the recent past.
And the Lightning have over
time learned how translate the
lessons that come from losing
into winning.
“For us now, we’ve been in a
lot of these series,” veteran for-
ward Alex Killorn said. “Just
going through that you learn
a ton. You learn how in se-
ries you’ve got to be even keel.
You’ve got to realize that things
aren’t always going to go your
way. You might get a bad call,
this might happen, that might
happen. ... And I think the
older you get, you might have
just more experience.”
BriseBois’ experience in
Montreal’s organization as a
young executive helped make
the Lightning into a perennial
contender. With an office next
to Hall of Famer Jean Beliveau,
BriseBois said he was “learning
a lot more than I was contrib-
uting” and soaked up genera-
tions of Habs success.
After working under long-
time Tampa Bay GM Steve Yz-
erman, Brisebois took over in
2018. Their combined knowl-
edge from the Canadiens and
Detroit Red Wings became the
blueprint in a far more nontra-
ditional market in Florida.
The Lightning’s 66 playoff
and 333 regular-season victo-
ries since 2015 are the most in
the NHL in that time.
“It’s tough to do nowadays
with keeping everybody once
you win,” said Luke Richard-
son, a one-time Tampa Bay
defenseman who’s filling in as
Canadiens coach while Domi-
nique Ducharme is in isolation
for at least the first two games
of the final. “Contracts go up,
and you’re in a salary cap era.
But they somehow did it. And
they are a solid team. And it’s

not just a one-year-off team.
They’re a solid team built to
win for a while.”
Montreal wasn’t expected to
win this soon, though this is the
kind of postseason GM Marc
Bergevin envisioned when he
traded for defenseman Shea
Weber in 2016. The Canadiens
may be ahead of schedule,
much like the Lightning were
when they lost to Chicago in
the 2015 Final, but it took some
tinkering from management to
get to this point.
“He did a lot of good things,
filled some holes for us this off-
season, and it’s paying off right
now,” Weber said. “There’s
been some hard times, there’s
been some good times, but it’s
a part of the journey and a part
of the story. It’s been a good
ride so far and hope to keep it
going here.”
While Montreal is looking to
end the organization’s and Can-
ada’s 28-year Cup drought, the
Lightning aim to join the 2016
and 2017 Pittsburgh Penguins
as the only back-to-back cham-
pions since the salary cap era
began in 2005. Tampa Bay won
the last title before the cap went
into place, which Engblom be-
lieves is part of the process of
developing a winning franchise.
“You have to win somewhere
along the way in order to really
get people interested in a pretty
new franchise,” he said. “That’s
the part you can’t compare.
Montreal’s been around for 100
years, so that’s the huge differ-
ence. It takes time.”
