He has yet to finish on the podium in a Grand Prix race with Ferrari, with a best finish of fourth. He did however win a sprint race in China in March.

SWM--SWIM WORLDS-AMERICANS STRUGGLE

Ex-Olympic champ Rowdy Gaines calls for changes at USA Swimming as team struggles in Singapore

SUMMARY: Three-time Olympic gold medalist Rowdy Gaines minces few words when he broadcasts swimming for the American network NBC. And he didn’t hold back in an interview with The Associated Press over the shaky state of American swimming. He’s calling for big-time changes as the Americans struggle at the world championships in Singapore. The American team isn’t winning as much as expected or dominating, it’s battling a case of “acute gastroenteritis” picked up at training camp in Thailand before arriving in Singapore, and the governing body — USA Swimming — has been without a CEO for a year. Gaines called the body ”rudderless.”

Americans set a relay world record in swim worlds in Singapore and Ledecky wins again

GLF--WYNDHAM CHAMPIONSHIP

SUMMARY: Cameron Young has a three-shot lead at the halfway point of the Wyndham Championship. Young completed a bogey-free 62 in the storm-delayed second round. He leads by three over Mac Meissner, Sungjae Im and Joel Dahmen. Young is widely considered the best without a victory on a main tour and this is his next chance. The Wyndham is the final regular-season event on the PGA Tour schedule. It decides the top 70 who advance to the postseason. Max Homa is officially out. Danish twins Rasmus and Nicolai Hojgaard barely made the cut and still have a chance to advance.
