AKRON, Ohio -- Jason Day pulled out of the Olympics on Tuesday because of the Zika virus, costing golf its No. 1 player as it returns from a century-long absence at the games.The sport has lost two of its biggest stars in the last week, adding to the perception that the Olympics are not a high priority. Rory McIlroy, a four-time major champion, also said Zika will keep from competing in Rio de Janeiro.The sole reason for my decision is my concerns about the possible transmission of the Zika virus and the potential risks that it may present to my wifes future pregnancies and to future members of our family, Day said in a statement. I have always placed my family in front of everything else in my life.The 28-year-old Australian and his wife, Ellie, had their second child in November, and he has said they want more children.Shane Lowry of Ireland, who got married in April and plans to start a family, also withdrew Tuesday. That makes six golfers, including two of the most prominent athletes in Day and McIlroy, to specifically cite Zika for not going to Rio. The others are Charl Schwartzel and Branden Grace of South Africa, and Marc Leishman of Australia, whose wifes immune system has not fully recovered after she nearly died last year of toxic shock syndrome.With Rory and myself pulling, I dont know if that will trigger anyone else, Day said. Its not my decision. ... Some guys are in different situations. Some guys are younger and single and can take that chance, and some guys are in the same situation as me and have children or going to have children, get married and stuff like that. Its a difficult one for those guys.American cyclist Tejay van Garderen is among a handful of athletes outside of golf who also cited Zika as the reason behind not going to Rio. Basketball star Stephen Curry didnt specifically cite Zika but noted that other factors played a role in his decision to skip the games.Brazil has been the hardest hit of the approximately 60 countries that have reported an outbreak of Zika, the mosquito-borne virus linked to severe birth defects and possible neurological problems in adults.Day first expressed concern a month ago at the Memorial and said he had been consulting doctors so he could make a smart choice.I wouldnt be pulling out just because its not safe or something like that down there, because Ive never been down to Brazil and I dont know if it is safe or not, Day said at the Bridgestone Invitational. Im withdrawing from the Olympics because of the Zika, and thats the main reason here, because I just dont want to put my family at risk because of it.Australia has three players in the top 50 in the world, and all of them have withdrawn -- Day, Adam Scott (No. 8) and Leishman (No. 39). Next in line would be Scott Hend (No. 75) and Marcus Fraser (No. 81).Day had been among the strongest proponents of competing in the Olympics, as had McIlroy and other young stars. But as the July 11 deadline nears for qualifying for Rio, some top golfers have been wavering.Among the stars who plan to play or have not decided are Jordan Spieth, U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson, Bubba Watson, Henrik Stenson of Sweden and Masters champion Danny Willett of England.Golf already has lost three of the top 10 players in the world. Scott was the first to withdraw. He said Olympics were never his priority in a year in which the schedule is crammed with major championships with far more historical significant than an Olympic medal.The sport has not been part of the games since 1904 in St. Louis.Louis Oosthuizen of South Africa cited scheduling concerns when he withdrew. Vijay Singh of Fiji briefly mentioned Zika but was more bothered by the schedule. Graeme McDowell, who was in line to replace McIlroy, withdrew late last week because his wife is due with their second child a few weeks after the Olympics and he did not want to be out of the country in the weeks leading to the birth.Adidas Falcon Shoes NZ . -- If this was Aaron Gordons final home game at Arizona, and it almost certainly was, then he went out in style.

It was Kerbers third final of the year after losing to Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova of Russia in Monterrey in April and to Petra Kvitova of Czech Republic in Tokyo two weeks ago. The 10th-ranked German improved her record in finals to 3-5.ROSTOV, Russia -- Two goals from Dmitry Poloz gave Rostov its first-ever Champions League point on Wednesday in a 2-2 draw with PSV Eindhoven.Unlucky to concede two goals following deflections in the first half, fortune was firmly on the Russian side in the second as the crossbar and some excellent goalkeeping from Soslan Dzhanaev stopped PSV from claiming the win.Both teams are now off the mark in Group D with a point apiece following opening-day defeats.Just being in the Champions League is something of a fairytale for the team from southern Russia. Rostovs surprise challenge for the Russian title last season saw it compared to Leicester, and the side stunned Ajax 5-2 on aggregate in qualifying.Home fans hoped Rostov could repeat that feat against another famous Dutch team when Poloz gave the hosts the lead in the eighth minute, lifting the ball over goalkeeper Jeroen Zoet off a through pass from AAlexander Erokhin.ddddddddddddThat lead lasted just six minutes, however, as PSV struck back when Davy Proppers shot took a heavy deflection and flew past Dzhanaev.Poloz responded in the 37th with a half-volley from outside the penalty area, but again PSV responded as Santiago Arias effort deflected onto the bar and landed perfectly for Luuk de Jong to head in from point-blank range.PSV dominated the second half and could have scored when Cesar Navas brought down De Jong, leading to a penalty, but Dzhanaev leapt to his left to block the shot. Propper was again unlucky in the 72nd when he hit the bar.Dzhanaev, who is contending for a place in the Russian national team ahead of the 2018 World Cup, was key again late on to stop a shot by 18-year-old substitute Steven Bergwijn.
