NEW YORK (AP) — Defending champion Coco Gauff has lost in the U.S. Open’s fourth round to Emma Navarro 6-3, 4-6, 6-3 in an all-American matchup. Gauff had won 10 matches in a row at Flushing Meadows until Sunday. That included her run to her first Grand Slam title a year ago. But the 20-year-old from Florida was troubled by serving problems and double-faulted 19 times. She finished with 60 total unforced errors. The 13th-seeded Navarro also eliminated Gauff in the fourth round at Wimbledon in July. That earned Navarro her first appearance in a major quarterfinal. Her second will come on Tuesday at the U.S. Open against Paula Badosa.

Scottie Scheffler caps off record season with FedEx Cup title and $25 million bonus

ATLANTA (AP) — Scottie Scheffler has polished off the best year in golf in nearly two decades with the biggest prize. He had a few nervous moments at the Tour Championship until running off three straight birdies around the turn at East Lake and pulling away from Collin Morikawa. That made Scheffler the FedEx Cup champion with its $25 million bonus. Scheffler won seven times on the PGA Tour and an Olympic gold medal. The eight victories are the most since Tiger Woods won eight times in 2006. The FedEx Cup bonus pushed his season earnings to just over $62.2 million.

Alex Palou survives early electrical issue to take IndyCar points lead into season finale

WEST ALLIS, Wis. (AP) — Alex Palou somehow recovered from a nearly catastrophic electrical issue to salvage his championship hopes Sunday in a chaotic race with IndyCar title implications at the Milwaukee Mile. Palou started with a 43-point lead over Will Power in the IndyCar standings. But he was in trouble before the race even began when his car had no power. As his team tried to get him going, Power had cut Palou’s lead to three points and even moved ahead of Palou in the standings at one point in the race. But Palou eventually got back on track, Power inexplicably spun by himself on a restart and Palou leaves the doubleheader at the Milwaukee Mile with a 33-point lead in the standings with only one race remaining.
