Charles Wade Barkley (born February 20, 1963) is a former American professional basketball player and current analyst on the television program Inside the NBA. Nicknamed "Sir Charles" and "The Round Mound of Rebound", Barkley established himself as one of the National Basketball Association's (NBA's) most dominating power forwards. He was selected to the All-NBA First Team five times, the All-NBA Second Team five times, and once to the All-NBA Third Team. He earned eleven NBA All-Star Game appearances and was named the All-Star MVP in 1991. In 1993, he was voted the league's Most Valuable Player and during the NBA's 50th anniversary, named one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History. He competed in the 1992 and 1996 Olympic games and won two gold medals as a member of the United States' Dream Team. In 2006, Barkley was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
Barkley was popular with the fans and media and made the NBA's All-Interview Team for his last 13 seasons in the league. He was frequently involved in on- and off-court fights and sometimes stirred national controversy, as in March 1991 when he mistakenly spat on a young girl, and as in 1993 when he declared that sports figures should not be considered role models. Short for a power forward, Barkley used his strength and aggressiveness to become one of the NBA's most dominant rebounders. He was a versatile player who had the ability to score, create plays, and defend. In 2000, he retired as the fourth player in NBA history to achieve 20,000 points, 10,000 rebounds and 4,000 assists.

6:27 p.m.
Sergio Garcia reaches 3 under with a birdie at No. 13, creating a threw-way tie for second with Scott Piercy and Shane Lowry.

5:50 p.m.
The rulebook is Dustin Johnson's new best friend. After hitting his tee shot into the deep rough at No. 10, Johnson got relief from a TV tower -- a temporary movable object -- that was in his line of sight, and he was allowed to drop into an adjacent fairway. A minute later, Shane Lowry made a bogey on No. 9, making Johnson the leader at 5 under. Johnson hit his approach onto the green.
On the No. 5 green, Johnson's ball moved as he stood over it, but he escaped a penalty, remarked the ball and made par.
In the 2010 PGA Championship at Whistling Straights, Johnson appeared to have qualified for a playoff with eventual champion Martin Kaymer and Bubba Watson by finishing at 11 under par for 72 holes. But he grounded his club in sand before hitting his second shot to the 72nd hole, and had to accept a two-stroke penalty when officials informed him the area in which his tee shot landed was a bunker.
5:35 p.m.
Jordan Spieth shoots 5-over 75 to finish at 9 over. (Masters champion Danny Willett also finished at 9 over following a 1-over 71 on Sunday.)
5:10 p.m.
Sergio Garcia, a crowd favorite at Oakmont, collected not one birdie but two at the par-3 eighth in the final round of the U.S. Open.
Garcia holed out from a greenside bunker to move to 2 under for the tournament and three shots behind leader Shane Lowry. The Spaniard, still in search of his first major championship, noticed a small bird on the ground as he was making his way off the green. He picked it up and handed it a volunteer.
Garcia is 0-for-70 in majors, with six finishes in the top 3.
5:09 p.m.
Dustin Johnson burns the edge with a 44-foot birdie putt on No. 7 and remains one shot back.
4:54 p.m.
Is Shane Lowry imploding?
His lead is down to a single stroke at the U.S. Open.
The Irishman, who was up by three at the beginning of the final round, is 2 over through five holes and is just one shot up on Dustin Johnson. Lowry bogeyed the par-4 second after his approach flew into a bunker and dropped another shot on the par-4 fifth following an approach shot that also found the sand.
Andrew Landry, who began the day three shots behind Lowry, bogeyed four of his first five holes to fall off the pace.
Jim Furyk, the 2003 champion, is putting together the round of the day in front of the leader. Furyk is at 4 under through 14 holes and 1 under for the tournament, four shots off the lead.
4:41
With a chance to move within a shot of Shane Lowry (-6), Dustin Johnson (-4) misses a 3-foot birdie putt on No. 5. The ball moved a Johnson prepared for his par putt, but he was deemed not responsible, remarked the ball and make the putt.
4:29 p.m.
Dustin Johnson's wedge is costing him strokes. After bombing two drives (378 yards on No. 1), Johnson has hit poor wedge shots, making pars at Nos. 1 and 3 when he should have had solid birdie opportunities. Johnson did make birdie at the par-5 No. 2 to cut Shane Lowry's lead to two shots.
4:10 p.m.
Shane Lowry's once-comfortable lead at the U.S. Open is down to two shots.
The Irishman, in search of his first major championship, began the final round leading by four shots over Dustin Johnson and Andrew Landry before a bogey at the par-4 No. 2 hole coupled with a birdie by Johnson at same hole whittled Lowry's advantage to just two strokes.
Landry, the surprise of the tournament, is off to a sluggish start. He bogeyed the first two holes to slip to five shots off the lead.
3:30 p.m.
Leader Shane Lowry went off in the final group with Andrew Landry, a U.S. Open rookie ranked No. 624 in the world. Both were in pursuit of a first major.
Lowry is 7 under, with a 4-shot lead over Landry and Dustin Johnson. Another shot back were Scott Piercy and Lee Westwood.
2 p.m.
The top 10 players are exempt into the U.S. Open next year at Erin Hills. That would be a big deal to Andrew Landry if he doesn't produce the dream finish at Oakmont. Landry had to make it through two stages of qualifying just to get into his first major.
Even better for Landry if he doesn't win? The top four players get into the Masters.
But all he cares about is winning, and the 28-year-old Texan has looked remarkably unflappable in every circumstance at Oakmont.
His father left him a message that said, "I have all the faith in the world you can do this. You're just as good as the rest of those guys."
He has been so far.
1:30 p.m.
Of the 14 players who have at least made the turn in the final round, no one is under par.
The greens at Oakmont were rolled twice and are running at 14.8 on the Stimpmeter. The entertainment is likely to come early in the round on the second hole, where the tees have been moved up so that a drive will reach the green. That doesn't mean it will stay there.
Jason Kokrak, one of the longest hitters in golf, hit a drive that bounced onto the green to about 10 feet below the hole, and then it rolled back some 30 yards into the fairway. He chipped the next one up to about the same range, and that rolled back. So his third time hitting the green, it actually stayed on the green. He made a bogey.

10 a.m. -- Justin Hicks
10:10 a.m. -- Spencer Levin, Ethan Tracy
10:20 a.m. -- Matt Fitzpatrick, Romain Wattel
