Tessa Janecke scored the winner as the United States prevailed in overtime over defending champion Canada 4-3 to win the women’s ice hockey world championship on Sunday.

Janecke struck with 2:54 left in overtime for the Americans to claim the 11th title at the worlds.

Abbey Murphy and Taylor Heise scored a goal and had an assist, and Caroline Harvey also scored for the U.S.

“Shock and awe,” U.S. goalie Gwyneth Philips said after the drama. “I’m ecstatic.”

The U.S. cruised through the tournament, winning the preliminary group with four wins from four, including a 2-1 win over Canada, and eliminating Germany in the quarterfinals and Finland in the semifinals.

The 12-day, 10-nation tournament in the southern Czech city of Ceske Budejovice represented the final major international tune-up before the 2026 Winter Games in Italy.

Golf

Thomas wins RBC heritage >> Justin Thomas ended nearly three years without a victory by making a birdie putt from just outside 20 feet in a playoff at Harbour Town to beat Andrew Novak in the RBC Heritage.

Thomas played bogey-free in dry, fast conditions for a 3-under 68, making a 25-foot birdie putt on the 16th that looked like it might be the winner until Novak, who grew up in South Carolina, matched him with a big birdie of his own for a 68.

Novak, who has had three good chances to win in his last 14 tournaments, had an 8-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole in regulation that was left all the way.

In the playoff, Novak missed from just inside 35 feet, setting the stage for Thomas.

Baseball

Marlins’ Conine placed on 60-day IL >> Miami Marlins outfielder Griffin Conine was placed on the 60-day injured list after dislocating his left shoulder during an 11-10 loss against the Philadelphia Phillies.

The injury occurred in the sixth inning when Conine dove headfirst into second base on an RBI double, his team-leading seventh of the season. He immediately clutched his left arm and left the game with a trainer.

Conine, 27, had emerged as a key contributor in the Marlins’ lineup, leading the team in slugging percentage (.438) and OPS (.790) over 71 plate appearances.

Brewers break steals record >> The Milwaukee Brewers broke a 33-year-old franchise record for stolen bases in a game and they needed only four innings.

Six of Sunday’s steals occurred in the first inning. The Elias Sports Bureau said those were the most stolen bases by a team in an inning since the expansion era started in 1961.
