Minjee wins PGA, Thunder victorious, Parramatta Eels blow

Minjee Lee has become just the fourth Australian to win three or more golf Majors, taking the Women’s PGA Championship in Texas by three shots with a final-round 74. She joins Karrie Webb, Jan Stephenson, and Peter Thomson in the elite group, earning $3.7 million.

The Oklahoma City Thunder, formerly the Seattle Supersonics, have claimed their first NBA title. They beat the Indiana Pacers 103-91 in Game 7, with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander earning Finals MVP. Indiana lost star Tyrese Haliburton to a torn Achilles early in the game.

In the NRL, Parramatta’s 36-2 win over the Titans was soured by suspensions: Ryley Smith (2 games) and Will Penisini (3 games) for lifting tackles.
