England's Andrew Johnston, better known as "Beef" to fans at the PGA Championship, is having a whirlwind Broadway debut after his impressive British Open run two weeks ago. "It has just been crazy," Johnston said. Johnston, who won his first European Tour title at the Spanish Open in April, is also a smash with practice-round spectators, many of whom sport fake beards and yell "Beeeeeef" whenever their man walks past at Baltusrol ahead of Thursday's first round.

(Reuters) – Bradley Wiggins has backed Chris Froome to emulate his 2012 Tour de France and Olympic time trial double success but felt his former Sky team mate's task is more difficult as next month's Games are in Rio de Janeiro. Froome, who will join Wiggins in the Great Britain cycling team, clinched his third Tour de France on Sunday and will now be attempting an unprecedented treble as he also plans to take part in both the time trial and road race at the Rio Games. Having won a bronze in the time trial at the 2012 London Olympics, the 31-year-old's hopes of a gold in Rio were boosted when his chief rival, Dutchman Tom Dumoulin, fractured his wrist during the Tour de France and is a doubt for the Games.

Three of them cited fears of Zika, the mosquito-borne virus spreading rapidly in the Americas, while Spieth blamed more general health concerns.
