Jenno Thitikul walked off the fifth green after a double bogey in the first round of the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship reminding herself to stay patient and that some missed shots are going to happen.

“Majors, you’re going to miss anyway,” said Thitikul, who’s No. 2 in the women’s world ranking. “A way to bounce back, it’s more important.”

Thitikul certainly found a way to do that on a hot and windy Thursday, finishing with a 4-under 68 for a one-stroke lead over Minjee Lee (69) in Frisco, Texas. Haeran Ryu, Rio Takeda and Somi Lee all shot 70.

Thitikul played with top-ranked Nelly Korda (72) and No. 3 Lydia Ko (75).

Korda, who aggravated a neck injury with a shot out of the rough during a practice round Monday, opened with seven consecutive pars in a round that had two birdies and two bogeys.

Scottie Scheffler had one of those rare rounds in which he hit a shot so pure it made his confidence soar. So many other shots were pretty good, too, and they added to an 8-under 62 to share the lead with Austin Eckroat in the Travelers Championship in Cromwell, Conn..

Rory McIlroy played bogey-free for a 66 and didn’t look to break too much of a sweat.

Jordan Spieth didn’t even make it to the finish line. This was the first time Spieth didn’t need a sponsor exemption for a $20 million signature event, and he lasted only 13 holes when his shoulder blade got tight on the range, spread across the back of his neck to the other side and left him no choice but to withdraw.

Soren Kjeldsen of Denmark and Ricardo Gonzalez of Argentina each shot 3-under 67 on Firestone South to share the lead after the opening round of the Kaulig Companies Championship, the third major of the year on the PGA Tour Champions in Akron, Ohio.

Charlie Woods, the 16-year-old son of Tiger Woods, is heading back to the U.S. Junior Amateur.

Charlie Woods bogeyed his final hole to fall into a three-way playoff for the final spot out of Eagle Trace Golf Club in Coral Springs, Fla. Woods, who shot 71, won the playoff.

That sends him to the U.S. Junior for the second straight year. Next up is 36-hole qualifying in stroke play for 264 players, with the top 64 advancing to match play.

The U.S. Junior Amateur, which Tiger Woods won three straight times, is July 21-26 in Dallas.

TENNIS

Top-ranked Jannik Sinner was upended by Alexander Bublik 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 in the second round at the Halle (Germany) grass-court tournament.

Sinner, the Halle defending champion, was playing in his first tournament since losing a five-set thriller to Carlos Alcaraz in the French Open final.

Second-seeded Alexander Zverev outlasted Lorenzo Sonego 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 (2) to reach the quarterfinals.

Newly crowned French Open champion Coco Gauff was stunned on her return to action, losing to Chinese qualifier Wang Xinyu 6-3, 6-3 at the Berlin Open.

The second-ranked Gauff, who won at Roland-Garros less than two weeks ago for her second Grand Slam title, amassed 25 unforced errors and seven double faults in her loss to Wang.

Top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka finished off Rebeka Masarova 6-2, 7-6 (6) in a match that was suspended Wednesday after one set because of a slippery court.

Sabalenka will meet 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina in the quarterfinals.

Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova plans to retire in a few months, the Czech player said. The announcement on social media came a day after Kvitova was granted a wild card for Wimbledon.

“I am excited and very much looking forward to soak in the beauty of playing The Championships, Wimbledon one more time, a place that holds the most cherished memories in my career,” Kvitova said.

“And while I am not entirely sure yet what my hardcourt swing in the U.S. will look like, I am intending to finish my active playing career at the U.S. Open in New York later this summer.”

Kvitova, 35, reached a career-high ranking of No. 2 and also helped the Czech Republic to six trophies in the Billie Jean King Cup.

Kvitova last played at Wimbledon in 2023, and became a mother for the first time when her son was born during last year’s tourney.

MISCELLANY

C.J. Mosley, a five-time Pro Bowl pick in an 11-year NFL career with the New York Jets and Baltimore Ravens announced on his 33rd birthday that he’s retiring from playing football. Mosley was released by the Jets in March after playing in just four games last season because of a toe injury and later a herniated disk in his neck.

Coach Ime Udoka agreed to a contract extension with the Houston Rockets that will make him one of the highest paid coaches in the NBA, multiple sources reported. The deal is believed to be worth eight figures annually, sources said. The move comes after Udoka led the Rockets to the second-best record in the Western Conference this season and their first playoff berth since the 2019-20 season. Houston made a remarkable turnaround in his two seasons in charge after being among the worst teams in the NBA the three seasons before his hiring.

The Dallas Stars re-signed forward Matt Duchene to a four-year contract worth $18 million. Duchene will count $4.5 million against the salary cap through the 2028-29 season. Duchene was a point-a-game scorer — 82 in 82 — in his second season with Dallas. He had one goal and five assists in 16 playoff games as the Stars reached the Western Conference final before losing to Edmonton.
