This weekend presented sports fans with the continuation of interleague play, a NASCAR road race, the completion of the Confederations Cup group stage, and most importantly, the U.S. Open.

TOP 5 PERFORMANCES
5. Kasey Kahne
Kahne won the NASCAR race at Sonoma,CA on Sunday. Kahne held off road course specialists like Juan Pablo Montoya and Tony Stewart for the win. Kahne also gave Richard Petty Motorsports its first win of the 2009 season.
4. Luis Fabiano
The Brazilian striker scored two goals in a six minute span on Sunday against Italy in the Confederations Cup. Both of his goals were set up by Kaka and Robinho. Fabiano could have had a third goal if Italian defender Andrea Dossena didn't score an own goal. Fabiano will try and continue his great form against host South Africa on Thursday in the semifinals.
3. Chicago Cubs
The Cubbies' offense showed a flare for the dramatic this weekend with 3 straight walk-off wins on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. On Thursday, Alfonso Soriano won the game against the White Sox with a walk-off single in the bottom of the 9th. Friday, Ryan Theriot provided the win driving in Soriano in the bottom of the 10th against the Indians. And on Saturday with Jake Fox at-bat, Indians P Kerry Wood threw a wild pitch and Andres Blanco scored from third to secure the win.
2. Brad Guzan and Julio Cesar
Guzan, the American keeper on Sunday against Egypt and Cesar, the Brazilian keeper Sunday versus Italy helped their teams advance to the semifinals of the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup. Cesar was tested the most in preserving his team's 3-0 victory by saving two lasers from Italy phenom Guiseppe Rossi. Guzan made crucial saves throughout the game and posted a shutout in a 3-0 win against Egypt, which advanced the Americans to the semis.
1. Lucas Glover
Glover was in 2nd place at -7 going into the final round of the U.S. Open at Bethpage Black, 1 shot back of leader Ricky Barnes and 4 shots ahead of anyone else on the leaderboard. Glover played 1 hole on Sunday night and finished his round Monday at +4 for the day. Despite his poor performance, no one else in the field could reach -4 at the end of the tournament. Barnes faded and challenges from Phil Mickelson, David Duval, Ross Fisher, and Hunter Mahan fell short. The win gives Glover his 1st major and he is also guaranteed to be in the field for all 4 majors for at least 5 years.
