6:52 pm
critical stretch for the franchise. they are trying to shed payroll this summer while improving at the same time. the first order of business, re-sign draymond green, who is expected to opt out of his final year. news conference on monday. a 25 game suspension morant this suspension grisly star more than $7 million. it will also come with conditions for his return. expect the players union to try to reduce that suspension. tiger woods has definitely been missed at this year's u.s. open, and now he will miss the british open next month as well. he had april surgery back in april. still recovering. around two from los angeles, country club in downtown l.a., rory mcilroy playing his final hole of the day, a par 3, setting up the knife, trying to hunt down his first major since 2014.
6:53 pm
ricky fowler shared the overnight lead, still on the course with that lead at -9 under par. matthew fitzpatrick on 15, and this is going to be an ace. the third of the tournament already! drinks on him. full highlights tonight 11:00. the bay area panthers have been flying under the radar in terms of attention but flying high in the standings as they come down the playoffs. >> says go, pass call for touchdown, with no time remaining! larry: the panthers are tied for first place in the western division of the ifl with a 7-4 record, despite losing two games in the final seconds. indoor football, stopping offensive drive is like getting a turnover, and that is where darren hungerford comes in, the linebacker lives up to his name with his hunger to win on a team
6:54 pm
with championship potential. opponent, it is about us, how good are we going to execute, how much effort will we play with? if we come out and we know for fact that at the end of the day, there is no team back and play with us. larry: the panthers offense traded by quarterback dalton sneed who took on a bigger leadership role. >> it was a hard week for us, but we found that energy to rally around each other and play as a team appeared i think through the darkness of it and the downs of it, i think it built our team in a way. rallied our team and allowed us to rally and play for one another. larry: ifl teams can routinely score 60 points per game, so this is nonstop action after the games, and get up and personal with the players. >> your birthday? how old are you turning? 10? happy birthday. >> that's a big reason why we play, you know, it is more than football pit we've got to keep
6:55 pm
remembering that. we appreciate you guys coming out. larry: it is really cool when the kids get to meet the players, and they sign autographs. the other thing is if the ball goes into the stands and you catch it, you get to keep it. it is a good time at the shark tank in san jose. i remember when i first watched arena football years ago, i thought, you know what, i'm a good enough athlete to play in this? then i walked onto the field, that's a terrible idea. [laughter] the nfl should let people keep the football. remember, they use to, when you would kick it into the stands. they can afford the footballs. [laughter] i think they can come up but they won't let you. dan: thanks, larry. dion: coming up tonight on abc 7 , 20/20 at 9:00 and do not miss abc 7 news at 11:00 at remember, abc 7 news is streaming 24/7.

dan: you hear about the open-air drug market you can find in the tenderloin. strung out, walker aimlessly down the street. how bad is it really? as our liz kreutz reported in a tv news exclusive this week, it is unbelievable glad -- unbelievably bad. in the six weeks since the governor has sent the chp income a they have seized more than nine pounds of fentanyl, enough to kill 2 million people. nine pounds in six weeks. and remember, that is what they seized. think much more they did not. this kind of crackdown is long overdue. why did city leaders let it reach a crisis before taking action? how long will they continue this stepped up enforcement? good questions. critics will say it is reminiscent of the war on drugs, but what really matters is the war is already underway, being waged by dealers against their
6:57 pm
victims, and the dealers are winning. i always love to hear from you. let me know what you think. follow me on twitter and facebook. dion: i'm dion lim. dan: i'm dan ashley for sandhya patel, all of us here, we appreciate your time, and we will see you here at 11:00. dion: taking a live look outside, we leave you with this beautiful site. feeling like summer. dan: [laughs] ♪
