Ben Hogan, at 53, seeks a fifth National Open title as sentimental favorite, aiming to avenge a 1955 playoff loss to Jack Fleck.

Braves Add Jay and Schwall in Deadline Deals
The Atlanta Braves acquired pitchers Joey Jay from Cincinnati for Hank Fischer and Don Schwall from Pittsburgh for Billy O'Dell as the NL pennant race neared deadlines.
