The morning started out with a dense fog over the lake and no winds yet the forecast did call for light winds by 12noon. As the fog lifted, the sun came out and the wind tapered off. Two starts were attempted but both ended with general recalls. With no measurable wind nor any signs of such on the horizon, the race committee was facing a time-of-day deadline and canceled all racing for the day.
STAR CLASS VINTAGE GOLD CUP DAY 2
- Races canceled for Day 2
- Many activities for the sailors to participate on shore
GULL LAKE, MICHIGAN – The Vintage Gold Cup and ISCYRA canceled the three scheduled races for day two of the Vintage Gold Cup. Slight breeze was visible on the lake in the morning, with little to no pressure. As the clouds burned off, the sun came and took away the little breeze that was left on the lake.
The results are still as follows; Brazilians Lars Grael and Mauricio Bueno in first with a 5-1-1 performance on day 1. In second place is local skipper Josh Powell and his crew Luke Lawrence of Stuart, FL with finishes of 1-8-3. In third is the Illinois team of Joe Londrigan and John Wysockey who finished 2-10-8. Full results
Throughout the rest of the afternoon, sailors will be found golfing or playing pickle ball at Gull Lake Country Club, while some stay on the dock to sail remote controlled sailboats with their fellow competitors. This evening the Vintage Gold Cup will hold a “Meet the Boats” event to show the Gull Lake community the beauty these wooden Star boats have.
Three more races are scheduled for tomorrow. The wind forecast, if correct, will remain light but sailors will remain hopeful to get at least one more race in.
STAR CLASS VINTAGE GOLD CUP DAY 1
GULL LAKE, MICHIGAN – The Vintage Gold Cup and ISCYRA announce results of the first day of racing in light and variable winds. The three scheduled races were completed with very close racing. At the top of the days result are Brazilians Lars Grael and Mauricio Bueno with a 5-1-1 performance. In second place is local skipper Josh Powell and his crew Luke Lawrence of Stuart, FL with finishes of 1-8-3. In third is the Illinois team of Joe Londrigan and John Wysockey who finished 2-10-8. For full results
Sailors knew going out that the lake was going to be tricky due to the light winds and its easterly direction. The race committee was able to manage the shifty winds quite well, getting high praise from the sailors.
Three more races are scheduled for tomorrow. The wind forecast, if correct, will make sailing even more challenging as the velocity declines from today.

Incoming UConn freshman Sarah Strong leads Team USA to gold in FIBA 3x3 U18 World Cup
(WFSB) - Incoming UConn freshman Sarah Strong is already making strides on the court for her country.

The team went 7-0 in the tournament and beat Japan on Friday for the gold medal. Strong was named the tournament’s most valuable player.
This marks her third straight gold medal at the 3x3 U18 World Cup as well as the sixth consecutive and eighth overall for Team USA women.

X Yachts Aurum Cup 2024
The biennial X-Yachts Gold Cup has been a fixture on X-Yacht owners’ calendars for years, combining great racing and superb social activity, so extending the concept from Denmark to Australia was a natural progression.
Owners in Australia have gathered at the Middle Harbour Yacht Club in Sydney for the Aurum Cup, the brainchild of X-Yachts importer Kevin Wallis. Aurum is the Latin word for gold if you were wondering where the name came from!
The first day saw a 20 nautical mile passage race from Pittwater to Sydney on a stunning winter’s morning, with unbroken sunshine and a sometimes-fickle breeze. Concentrations was required, in an ‘eyes out of the boat’ race to make best use of the wind.
Steve Burcher, one of three sailors who own Trilogy, a new X43, described his day:
“We struggled a bit as our wind vane was damaged, so we didn’t know the true windspeed and direction, but we managed, and it was a lovely day out there. The wind was all over the shop, but it was good fun. Today was one of the first times we’ve used the Code Zero downwind, and we got a lot of performance out of it which was good.”
Steve and his fellow owners had been looking to retire, but somehow seem to be busier than ever, and have found the X43 ideal for their situation and time in life:
“We love the boat! We were looking for the ultimate racer-cruiser, and she ticked all the boxes for us. We’re still learning, and we’d all been racers before, so this is us getting back into sailing a boat that we thought would allow us to do that. We’re not spring chickens, and she’s a very comfortable boat, so we’re very happy with it. We have a couple of little luxuries, such as bow thrusters and electric winches, which are all very handy. It fits us perfectly.”
Sal Ridulfo is the owner of an IMX-40 called Xcalibur that he races successfully at the Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club and had a superb day on the water:
“We started with an asymmetric spinnaker inside Pittwater, then gybed behind Blacksmith, an Xp50, and XS Moment, an Xp44, trying to make the most of the variable breeze.”
Sal is pleased with how his yacht is performing:
“We’re doing well, considering it’s a 24-year-old boat, but it’s solid as a rock. The steel grillage inside doesn’t go anywhere, and we have a carbon mast and boom, so it’s a beautiful boat with a superb performance. It’s a testament to the guys in Denmark that they can build a boat that can last that long.”
On the X-Yachts Aurum Cup Sal added:
“It’s a great initiative for a brand with such a high kudos in terms of ownership and quality.” Saturday sees two more races on Sydney Harbour, followed by Dinner and the Prize Giving Party at the Middle Harbour Yacht Club.

2024 Tour Championship leaderboard: Scottie Scheffler on top with Collin Morikawa, Xander Schauffele pressing
It has become a three-horse race at east lake golf club with 36 holes remaining at the fedex cup playoffs finale.
Round 2 of the 2024 Tour Championship on Friday brought some drama as Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa cut into Scottie Scheffler's lead in the FedEx Cup Playoffs finale putting pressure on the world's No. 1 golfer entering the weekend. Entering the second round with a seven-stroke lead, Scheffler saw his advantage cut nearly in half to four by day's end with Morikawa sitting right behind him and Schauffele standing five back as Moving Day approaches at East Lake Golf Club.
Morikawa, who was paired with Scheffler in Friday's final grouping, fired a field-best 8-under 63 to improve to 17 under. Schauffele, meanwhile, had the second-best outing of the day in the group as he finished with a 7-under 64 that was better than any score posted Thursday.
Scheffler was the man who posted that score with a Thursday-low 65, and while he was unable to match that score Friday, a 66 with only one bogey and six birdies ensured he still maintained a comfortable cushion between himself and the rest of the field.
With 36 holes to play, time is quickly running out for challengers to unseat Scheffler, but the weekend may bring with it some suspense. Sahith Theegala, Adam Scott and Wyndham Clark also stayed within striking distance; they sit seven strokes off the lead after big Friday rounds. That could set up an eventful finish from East Lake.
Let's take a look at the leaderboard's current form with the weekend on tap.
1. Scottie Scheffler (-20) : Scheffler's lead of seven strokes entering the day dwindled to just five with Morikawa and Schauffele surging. And yet, his second-round 66 Friday felt more impressive than his first-round 65 Thursday. He has previously failed to close out this event in the past despite holding significant leads, but Scheffler showed poise in pounding greens and escaping with just one bogey on the scorecard along with two birdies across his final three holes.
T2. Collin Morikawa (-17) 3. Xander Schauffele (-16) T4. Wyndham Clark, Sahith Theegala (-12)
Morikawa picked up Friday (four birdies on the front nine) where he left off Thursday (six birdies on the back nine). He went out in 31 and proved he would push Scheffler down the stretch. Schauffele, meanwhile, was relentless in his pursuit all day with a bogey-free 65. Theegala and Clark have a ways to go if they hope to make this tournament interesting, but after respective 5-under and 4-under rounds, they sit just seven off the lead and well within striking distance should Scheffler fall back this weekend.
Biggest movers
Up : Tony Finau quietly set the tone early in the day with a 66 to move up 12 spots on the leaderboard from 20th to T8. At 9 under, it would take quite a collapse from several guys at the top for him to be a real threat this weekend, but he's lurking in the shadows and could perhaps do more than that should he post another number in the mid-60s on Saturday.
Down : Keegan Bradley fell 17 spots down the leaderboard after Friday 74 that featured three bogeys in his final six holes. Bradley is coming off a win at the BMW Championship last weekend that moved him into the top five of the FedEx Cup standings, but a rough outing Friday moved him to 15 shots off the lead and out of contention for the championship.
Round 2 in the books
Friday's Round 2 play at the 2024 Tour Championship is officially wrapped with Scottie Scheffler -- surprise, surprise! -- once again comfortably leading the field.
Scheffler's lead of seven strokes entering the day shrunk to just four, though, thanks to an 8-under 63 from Collin Morikawa that moved him to within four of the World No. 1. Xander Schauffele got within five and slowly chipped away at Scheffler's lead, too, thanks to a 7-under 64.
Entering the weekend, Morikawa and Schauffele may be the only ones who can chase down Scheffler, but they proved Friday that they're more than just theoretical threats. With both lurking in striking distance and still 36 holes left to play, there's plenty of time for action over the next few days at East Lake to send us off as the FedEx Cup playoffs wrap.
Play set to resume at 6:50 p.m.
Round 2 of the 2024 Tour Championship, which was suspended at 5:15 p.m. ET due to inclement weather in the area, is scheduled to resume at 6:50 p.m. ET, per the PGA Tour. There are just four groups of two still out on the course at East Lake -- including leader Scottie Scheffler (-19), Xander Schauffele (-15), Collin Morikawa (-15) and Wyndham Clark (-12).
Play suspended in Round 2
Play was suspended at 5:15 p.m. ET in Round 2 at the 2024 Tour Championship due to inclement weather in the area. They blew the horns to get all the players and spectators off the course as a safety precaution, and there is no definitive time yet on potential resumption.
The pause comes with Scottie Scheffler -- who is part of the last pairing on the course and through 15 holes -- sitting at 19 under and leading by four strokes over Xander Schauffele and Collin Morikawa.
Top of the leaderboard looks like so with the round almost completed.
1. Scottie Scheffler (-19) T2. Xander Schauffele (-15) T2. Collin Morikawa (-15) T4. Sahith Theegala (-12) T4. Wyndham Clark (-12) T4. Adam Scott (-12)
Challengers emerging to Scheffler
Collin Morikawa, Wyndham Clark and Xander Schauffele are all 5 under on the round today and emerging as the potential challengers positioned best to track down leader Scottie Scheffler. Morikawa and Schauffele are both 14 under, while Clark is 13 under, which comes as Scheffler drops a stroke at the 13th to fall back to 19 under. Could get interesting leading into the weekend.
Scheffler makes the turn with pep in step
A shaky start to the day could've injected some doubt into Scottie Scheffler's ability to close the FedEx Cup -- which he's failed to do the last two years -- but he's made leading the Tour Championship by multiple strokes look like cake so far. Scheffler just made the turn with a bogey-free 3-under 32 to keep his lead at six strokes on Xander Schauffele and suddenly-surging Collin Morikawa. Schauffele and Morikawa are both at 4 under on the round but still not within striking distance with Scheffler keeping the field at arm's length for now.
Xander Schauffele has fantastic front nine
Leader Scottie Scheffler's grip on the lead has at the very least been threatened a smidge by World No. 2 Xander Schauffele, who after an opening-round 70 on Thursday just posted a 4-under 31 on the front nine to pull within six of Scheffler's lead. Schauffele made birdies at 3, 4, 6 and 8 and is on pace for the best round of the day, and perhaps the week. He struggled on the back nine in Round 1 yesterday so a good test of his mettle on deck down the stretch as we prep for the weekend ahead.
Scheffler steady as ever
If Xander Schauffele's fast start has struck a scare into leader Scottie Scheffler, he certainly isn't showing it. Scheffler just birdied No. 6 -- his second on the day after a birdie at No. 3 -- to move to 2 under on the day and again extend his lead back to six strokes. He then turned around and bombed a 363-yard drive on the par-4 7th -- nearly thirty yards deeper than his drive on the same hole in Round 1 -- to put him in position for another birdie before settling for par. Good start to the front nine of Round 2 for the World No. 1.
Schauffele storming back
Xander Schauffele came ready to rock in Round 2 as he's taken back multiple shots from leader Scottie Scheffler to move to within five strokes. Schauffele is 3 under through six and sitting 12 under with birdies at 3, 4 and 6. That's already matched his total count of birdies from Round 1, where he battled to an opening-round 70.
Scheffler's lead shrinks by one
Scottie Scheffler is already in the red today at 1 under through four holes but his lead has shrunk from seven strokes to six after a strong start early from Xander Schauffele. Schauffele is two under on the day thus far with birdies at Nos. 3 and 4, moving him to 11 under. Meanwhile, there's a trio of big names -- Collin Morikawa, Wyndham Clark and Sam Burns -- who are all at 10 under, T3 and seven off the lead.
Rory with two almost-makes with the putter on the front nine. This one at No. 1 was a gem that I thought might drop for birdie. He also just missed a shortie on No. 3 that would've been birdie. He's even on the day and yet somehow already licking some wounds. Going to need those to fall to chase down Scottie Scheffler, who is at 16 under.
Hovland burning edges early
Viktor Hovland is even on the day and has thus far failed to erase his 12-shot deficit on Scottie Scheffler, but it's not without trying. He's now burned two edges through his first six holes on birdie bids that just missed dropping. He's had a bogey and a birdie to remain at 4 under (even on the day) but he's a few inches away from being top-10 on the leaderboard with a spring in his step.
Rory McIlroy, Justin Thomas begin their days
Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas -- a combined six major championships and four FedEx Cup championships between them -- are off and running in Round 2 to start their day. McIlroy is 10 back of leader Scottie Scheffler and Thomas is 11 back sitting at 6 under and 5 under, respectively.
McIlroy, who is the only golfer to have won the FedEx Cup three times, last won in 2022 after winning in 2019 and in 2016. He has had a stellar season with two wins and a soul-crushing second-place finish at the U.S. Open. Thomas last won the FedEx Cup in 2017. He entered the week No. 30 out of 30 qualifiers for the event at East Lake and has not won on the PGA Tour since his win at the PGA Championship at Southern Hills in 2022.
East Lake showing its teeth early
Round 2 is off to a rough start for a chunk of the morning crew who were off early to kick off Friday. Only one golfer so far -- Christiaan Bezuidenhout -- is in the red at 1-under. Three are 1 over and one 2 over in the early going of the 10 already on the course.
Round 2 schedule Friday
Good morning and welcome to our Round 2 coverage of the Tour Championship leading into the weekend. We have a fun Friday on tap at East Lake, where Scottie Scheffler has a sizable lead after firing a 66 (-5) on Thursday in Round 1 to extend his lead to seven strokes.
The second round is officially underway with Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Billy Horschel off the first tee. Scheffler and Collin Morikawa are in the final group slated to go off at 2 p.m. ET.

Expert Pick of the Week: 2024 Jockey Club Gold Cup

Saratoga scenic (Photo by Coglianese Photography / Credit to Christina Durrand)
A strong and accomplished field of seven will go postward in Sunday’s $1 million Jockey Club Gold Cup S. (G1) at Saratoga . The 1 1/4-mile event is led by the exciting Arthur’s Ride , who led at every call en route to a dominant victory in the Whitney S. (G1) on the surface last time out. He is the Expert Pick of the Week.
Trained by Bill Mott, the peaking colt has been superb at this meet in two tries, which includes a 12-length allowance waltz two back at today’s 10- furlong distance . The gray son of Tapit finished second best in the first two starts of his career on the course in 2022, but he has morphed into a different animal from his pair of two-turn races as of late.
Arthur’s Ride is 3-for-4 this campaign , and he combines fine early speed with the ability to carry it over a route of ground, and the colt also appears to be the one to catch once again. The Glassman Racing color-bearer has posted a pair of maintenance morning moves in advance of Sunday and his best performance will make him close to untouchable in the contest. Regular pilot Junior Alvarado will be in the stirrups.
A thrilling finish in the H. Allen Jerkens Memorial (GI)! #3 Domestic Product at 9/2 gets the job done at #TheSpa with Flavien Prat in the saddle for trainer Chad Brown. pic.twitter.com/yJmtQ5yMcz — TwinSpires Racing 🏇 (@TwinSpires) August 24, 2024
I have yet to give up on 2023 Travers S. (G1) runner-up Disarm and consider him to be a viable second choice in the talented field. Trained by Steve Asmussen, the Gun Runner chestnut has shown improvement with each run of 2024, and while he has yet to reach his form of last season, I feel that he is sitting on a big effort Sunday. The four-year-old colt has run well in each lifetime try at this voyage and is training in good fashion. The Winchell homebred will also save valuable ground throughout, and Joel Rosario retains the ride atop the dangerous contender.
Godolphin homebred #6 Highland Falls is a consistently good colt who seems poised to thrive on his second try at 1 1/4 miles. The chestnut son of Curlin is not especially explosive, but the four-year-old is quite steady and has the right running to grind his way into the top three with his best effort. Flavien Prat riding is a bonus.
Expert Pick
An exacta with #7 Arthur’s Ride on top of #4 Disarm and #6 Highland Falls in the 2024 Jockey Club Gold Cup is the Best Bet of the Week.

Britannia in Numbers
After years of design and development, INEOS Britannia prepares to battle it out for supremacy on the waves in the 37th America’s Cup – and become the first British team to win the world’s oldest, international sporting trophy.
INEOS Britannia’s weapon of choice for the battle in Barcelona is Britannia, their 75ft, 6.2 tonne AC75 foiling race boat which was designed and developed in partnership with Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team.
So what exactly goes into an America’s Cup race boat? We outline Britannia’s key stats in numbers below.
120,000 Individual parts
50,000 Construction hours
35,000 Design hours
30,000 Data channels
700 Sensors and channels
100 Designers
33 On-board cameras
16 Athletes
8 Athletes on-board at any one time:
4 Cyclors
4 Flight Controllers/Trimmers
2 Helms
All to win 1 America’s Cup
Each AC75 has two Helmsmen. One sits port side; the other, starboard. Communication is key because their vision is limited due to the huge, deck-sweeping sails. They steer the boat and have multiple functions on their steering wheels where they can trim the pitch, cant and angle of the boat at the touch of a button.
The two Flight Controller/Trimmers keep the boat up in flight on the foils and achieve target speeds through trimming the sails effectively. They work in conjunction with the helmsmen and can also assist in tactical decisions.
The Cyclors’ job is to churn out watts faster than the other teams. They must maintain up to 500+ watts on the static bikes, which are fixed inside the 75ft carbon-fibre hull, for spells of 20 minutes and nail sprints at up to 1,800 watts. In doing so, they provide the hydraulic power to trim the sails and make the boat go faster. One Cyclor has likened the job to cycling and competing in a rugby match at the same time.
