Sweden's Rikard Karlberg fended off fatigue to begin his defence of the rain-affected Italian Open by carving out a one-shot lead over local hope Francesco Molinari on Thursday in Milan.

Karlberg boasted six birdies, including three in his opening four holes, and after suffering his only bogey on the par-four eighth, he made amends with an eagle on the par-five ninth.

San Francisco 49ers backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick brought his controversial protest in the name of racial equality to a nationally televised Monday Night Football audience, kneeling on the field rather than standing as the national anthem played. While military personnel unfurled a giant American flag over the field, a number of fans shouted at Kaepernick, "Why don't you stand up?" according to an ESPN commentator reporting for the Disney-owned sports channel's broadcast.
