Eric Church delivered another impressive NorCal show, underscoring — yet again — many of the reasons why he’s one of the country music genre’s all-time greatest artists during his lengthy headlining set at the Country Summer Music Festival in Santa Rosa.Following Lynyrd Skynyrd’s rocking headliner set on Friday night at the festival, Church topped the bill at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds on Saturday (June 17) and delivered a thoroughly enjoyable concert.Church’s voice was in pristine condition as he mixed songs from throughout his seven studio albums, which collectively form what could well be the strongest country music discography of the last 20 years. (Miranda Lambert’s catalog, however, is also a very strong contender for that distinction.)Backed by a versatile band, complete with a powerful three-piece horn section, Church rocked and rolled his way through such fan favorites as “Mistress Named Music,” “Drink In My Han...2 people injured in shooting near Pier 39: SFPD

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Cameron Smith’s strong play during the final nine holes of the U.S. Open Sunday could give him a boost when he defends his British Open title next month.Smith shot 3 under on the more difficult back nine at Los Angeles Country Club to close with a 67. The Australian finished tied for fourth at 6-under 274, although he wasn’t seriously in contention.It’s the third time in the last four majors Smith has finished in the top 10. He tied for ninth in last month’s PGA Championship.It also equals his best finish in a U.S. Open with the other being in 2015. He had missed the cut the past two years.“The game is feeling really good, and just probably a little bit of confidence,” Smith said. “This is kind of a big tick of the box, I think. Obviously a world-class field, world-class venue, and it got really tough on the weekend, as well.”Smith has two LIV Golf events on his schedule before the British Open starts on July 20 at Royal Liverpool.ANOTHER H...US beats Canada 2-0 to win CONCACAF Nations League on goals by Balogun, Richards

LOS ANGELES (AP) — In the city of stars, Wyndham Clark had his own script in mind in the U.S. Open.In front of him was Rory McIlroy, one of golf's biggest talents who looked ready to end his perplexing nine-year drought in the majors. Next to him in the final group Sunday was Rickie Fowler, a Southern California native who returned from a three-year slump and was poised to finally win his first major.Clark carried a message from his late mother — “Play big,” she always told him — and the belief he could compete with anyone on any stage.No stage was bigger than a U.S. Open on the edge of Beverly Hills. That's where Clark delivered clutch saves, a signature shot that gave him control and the steady nerves to hold off McIlroy and become a major champion.“I feel like I belong on this stage,” Clark said after closing with an even-par 70 for a one-shot victory over McIlroy. “Even two, three years ago when people didn’t know who I was, I felt like I could still play and compete against the...Blinken’s day one in Beijing yields agreement for more meetings

Secretary of State Antony Blinken ended his first of two days of meetings in Beijing on Sunday with rhetoric suggesting that the two countries are taking steps to curb the bilateral acrimony that has curdled the U.S.-China relationship.Blinken and Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang emerged from their meeting with twin readouts describing that encounter as “candid and constructive.” Blinken secured an agreement from Qin to continue their discussions in Washington “at a mutually suitable time.” Both Blinken and Qin stressed the need for the two countries to improve people-to-people contacts that Qin said should include educational exchanges and an expansion of passenger flights between the two countries.That language suggests that both Blinken and Qin are inching toward an off-ramp from months of rancor that Qin said had driven bilateral ties to “their lowest level since the establishment of diplomatic relations” in 1979.

Few countries in the Western Hemisphere have evoked for Americans the spirit of the Monroe Doctrine as much as has Cuba. For years, the Soviets used the island nation 103 miles off the coast of Florida as a listening post, and, in 1962, they brought the world to the brink of existential conflict by secretly placing nuclear ballistic missiles on the island.Today, America’s most worrisome unwelcome guest in the Caribbean is China. That’s also true elsewhere in the Western Hemisphere.Beijing has been using Cuba as a spy base since 2019, the White House said recently. The Biden administration’s statement was aimed at refuting a Wall Street Journal report that China was planning to build a new listening post in Cuba, though, given the history, it’s anything but comforting to know that Beijing has been eavesdropping on the U.S. from close range for the last four years.Both economically and militarily, China looms as a worrisome threat to U.S. interests.
