Haeran Ryu captured her second consecutive major title at the Evian Championship while Tom Kim secured his first victory in three years at the Genesis Scottish Open.

South Korean LPGA star Haeran Ryu claimed her second consecutive major title at the Amundi Evian Championship this weekend.  She fired a 60 in the third round to set the pace, before securing victory in a sudden-death playoff over Brooke Henderson.  Ryu finished at -19, earning $1.4 million.  Asian golfers rounded out the top five with Aki Iwai in third place, while Jin Hee Im, Miyu Yamashita, and Mao Saigo tied for fourth.

At the Genesis Scottish Open, 24-year-old Tom Kim captured his first championship in three years with a -17 finish, taking home nearly $1.6M.  The Korean was elite down the stretch, utilizing a bogey-free fourth round to secure the win by two strokes.  Korean Australian Min Woo Lee followed in second place, while Japanese golfer Keita Nakajima tied for third.

The highly anticipated UFC 329 in Las Vegas ended in an anticlimactic fashion.  The main event between Conor McGregor and Max Holloway lasted only 69 seconds before the contest was stopped due to a knee injury sustained by McGregor on his opening kick, resulting in a TKO victory for Holloway.

Vinod Khosla and his family have reached a formal agreement to purchase the Seattle Seahawks in a historic deal valued at $9.6 billion, setting a new record for an NFL franchise sale.  Khosla currently owns a 3.1% minority stake of the NFC West rival San Francisco 49ers, which he will be required to sell pending approval of the Seahawks’ acquisition.  Khosla is among several Asian NFL owners including Jaguars’ principal owner Shahid Khan, and Dolphins’ minority owner Lin Bin.
