Miles Russell, 17, surprised his father on the 18th hole of the U.S. Open by having his caddie hand over his clubs and bib so he could carry his son's clubs the rest of the way.

Tennis great Serena Williams, who retired in 2022, has been awarded a wildcard for the Wimbledon grass court championships starting in a week.

The announcement comes just weeks after Williams made her official comeback to tennis - four years after her last professional match - at the Queen's Club's HSBC Championships.

Miles Russell had quite a Father's Day gift for his dad: the chance to be caddie in his son's U.S. Open debut.The 17-year-old amateur surprised his father, Joe, on the 18th hole Sunday when his caddie brought Russell's clubs to him outside the ropes to carry them the rest of the way.It was kind of a fun Fathers Day gift, Miles Russell said. Kind of cool since it was my first one. Hopefully its something hell remember for a long time.Russell had Charlie Woods, Tiger Woods' son and his future teammate at Florida State, carrying the bag for him when he advanced to the U.S. Open through a 36-hole qualifying tournament earlier this month.Ramon Bescansa was on the bag for Russell at Shinnecock Hills but only for 71 1/2 holes.As Russell walked toward the 18th green, Bescansa turned toward the ropes and found Joe Russell. He placed the bag down just inside the ropes and removed his caddie bib and handed it to Joe, who put it on.According to the NBC broadcast, Miles Russell asked a USGA rules official in the morning if he would be allowed to make the switch and was given permission. Joe Russell was not aware of the plan.Miles Russell smiled widely as his father caught up to him and they walked up to the green.Russell tapped in for par to finish off an even-par 70 in the final round. After becoming the second-youngest male amateur since World War II to play the weekend at the U.S. Open, he finished at 7 over for the tournament while being paired the final two rounds with fellow amateur Jackson Koivun, who led Auburn to two NCAA championships and is about to turn pro.It was a pretty special week, Russell said. Just to be here was really special, and to make the cut was kind of bonus points. I didnt quite have my best stuff the last two days, but still really cool. Just a great experience.___AP golf: https://apnews.com/hub/golf

Several New Jersey swimming areas remain under scrutiny after water testing found elevated levels of fecal bacteria at recreational water sites across the state.As of June 21, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) listed swimming advisories at five coastal locations in Ocean and Cape May counties.The advisories were triggered by elevated levels of enterococci, bacteria commonly used to measure water quality at recreational swimming sites.POPULAR BEACHES CLOSED AS HIGH BACTERIA LEVELS RAISE HEALTH CONCERNS FOR SWIMMERSThe coastal advisories include Cedar Point Beach and Beachwood Beach West in Ocean County, as well as Wildwood and Bay, Baywyn and Bay, and Ferry and Bay in Lower Township, Cape May County, the department noted.Water testing at New Jerseys public recreational bathing beaches is carried out regularly by the DEP, working with the New Jersey Department of Health and local health officials.State standards allow no more than 104 enterococci colonies per 100 milliliters of sampled water. If a test result exceeds that threshold, a swimming advisory is issued and additional samples are collected until water quality returns to acceptable levels, the department said.However, a swimming advisory does not automatically result in the closure of a swimming area.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERUnder state rules, beaches are shut down to swimmers only after two consecutive samples fail to meet water quality standards. They remain closed until testing shows bacteria levels have returned to acceptable levels.As of June 21, the DEP's monitoring dashboard showed no active coastal or freshwater closures.The advisories follow a broader round of testing conducted last week.On June 16, elevated fecal bacteria levels were detected at three ocean beaches in Monmouth County and six river and bay locations along the Jersey Shore, NJ.com reported. Many of those sites returned to acceptable levels following additional testing.CLICK HERE FOR MORE LIFESTYLE STORIESThe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) lists several possible sources of enterococci, including wastewater treatment plant discharges, leaking septic systems, stormwater runoff, sewage released from recreational boats and waste from domestic animals and wildlife.While the EPA says enterococci are "typically not considered harmful to humans," the bacteria can serve as a warning sign that other disease-causing organisms may be present in the water.Those pathogens can include viruses, bacteria and protozoa that may cause illnesses affecting the skin, eyes, ears and respiratory system.The EPA also warns that consuming seafood harvested from waters contaminated by fecal matter may result in illness.Officials will continue monitoring the affected locations and collecting additional samples until bacteria levels return to acceptable standards.Jessica Mekles of Fox News Digital contributed reporting.
