Se viene el tercer major del año en la mítica cancha de Torrey Pines. El único y el último Abierto que la cancha de San Diego alojó, se lo llevó un tal Tiger Woods, tras un playoff de 19 hoyos ante Rocco Mediate. Típica cancha del U.S. Open con greens rápidos y roughs muy tupidos. Un gran desafío para todos los golfistas a partir del próximo jueves. ¡No se lo pierdan! Récord de latinos con diez en total: los hermanos Ortiz, Abraham Ancer, Sebastián Muñoz, Luis Fernando Barco, Joaquín Niemann, Fabián Gómez, Jhonattan Vegas, Mario Carmona y Luis Gagne.

Atlanta's police chief, Erika Shields, has resigned after the fatal shooting of an African-American man who had fallen asleep in his car at a drive-through restaurant.

The Wendy's restaurant outside which Mr Brooks died was also set on fire. Also in the programme: The Italian families calling for an investigation into the country's coronavirus response; and who is Kim Yo Jong, the sister of North Korea's leader playing an increasingly important role in the secretive country?
