The brother of late NFL legend and U.S. Army Ranger Pat Tillman was involved in an early Sunday morning car crash that caused a post office to catch on fire. 

San Jose Police are investigating a crash that occurred around 3 a.m. local time at the post office in question, per NBC Bay Area, and Richard Tillman was the main suspect as he was taken into custody in relation to the fire.

MARTINA NAVRATILOVA REACTS AS SUSPECTED SHOOTER IN IDAHO FIREFIGHTER AMBUSH IS IDENTIFIED

Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office jail records confirm Richard Tillman was booked on Sunday, though no charges have been made publicly known. He also does not have a bail amount with a court appearance scheduled for July 23. 

San Jose Police is working with San Jose Fire Department arson investigators, as well as the US Postal Inspectors, to determine who will lead the investigation into how the fire occurred in the building. 

Pat Tillman was an NFL star for the Arizona Cardinals who famously left his career in football to enlist in the United States Army in May 2002. The decision came after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. 

Tillman served in Iraq and Afghanistan as an Army Ranger, making several combat tours before being killed in the Afghanistan mountains. 

While it was initially reported that Tillman was killed by enemy fire, the Pentagon told his family that he was killed by friendly fire. In 2007, the Pentagon ruled that Tillman’s death was accidental.

Scottie Scheffler's son, Bennett, steals spotlight with adorable celebration after Open Championship win

Scottie Scheffler’s dominance on the golf course continued on Sunday, as he cruised to a victory at The Open Championship, marking his second major win this year. 

Just as he did at the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow earlier this golf season, he celebrated with his wife, Meredith, and their son, Bennett after the win at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland on Sunday. 

Scheffler got a huge cheer from the crowd as the famous Claret Jug was passed over to him, but it was his son who got the crowd going after making some moves to celebrate with his father.

Cameras caught the moment Bennett was trying to make his way to the 18th green at Royal Portrush to join his dad in celebration. However, the 1-year-old had some trouble getting there. 

As he tried to run up the hill, Bennett took a little tumble and decided to remain on all fours as the crowd sighed in unison. Scheffler made his way over with the Claret Jug in hand and picked up his son, with the crowd cheering once more. 

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER SAYS BEING THE NO 1 GOLFER IN THE WORLD IS 'NOT A FULFILLING LIFE'

It was yet another proud father-son moment for the Scheffler family – moments that are becoming all too common in one of the hardest sports on the planet. 

Dominant is putting it lightly for how Scheffler has been playing this year, and that was on display for four rounds overseas at The Open. He posted a final-round 68 to cap an incredible weekend and add to his major resume. 

Scheffler only needs a U.S. Open victory to complete the career Grand Slam. 

Scheffler has also tallied four wins on the PGA Tour this season, including the Byron Nelson in May which predated the PGA Championship victory. He also held off a surging Ben Griffin at The Memorial to add another trophy to his case. 

And in his 15 events played on the PGA Tour this season, Scheffler has finished top-25 in each of them, while earning a top-10 mark in 12 as well. He has an official money mark of $16.1 million while being well ahead in FedEx Cup Standings (4,056 points) with Rory McIlroy behind him in second place (3,219).

Simply put, the world number one golfer just doesn’t seem to be slowing down, collecting yet another major and doing what any father would want in those happiest of moments. 

Scheffler can’t stop making lifelong memories with his family.

Wyndham Clark responds to Oakmont Country Club ban following destructive locker room incident

Oakmont Country Club made the decision to ban PGA Tour pro Wyndham Clark from playing on its course after damaging the locker room at this year’s U.S. Open. 

While Clark hopes to return to the historic Pennsylvania club, he understands the ban in place. 

"That’s up to them," Clark said, via ESPN, after finishing his final round at Royal Portrush in The Open on Sunday. "I really don’t know. I would hope so. It’s a fantastic course and place, but that’s up to them.

"I did something awful, and I’m really sorry for it. Hopefully, they have it in their heart to forgive me, and maybe in the future I’ll be able to play there."

John Lunch, Oakmont Country Club president, sent a letter to members before The Open began in Northern Ireland saying that Clark was banned following discussions with the United States Golf Association (USGA) as well as the club board. 

PGA TOUR GOLFER WYNDHAM CLARK BANNED FROM OAKMONT COUNTRY CLUB AFTER US OPEN MELTDOWN

"Several of you have inquired about the situation involving Wyndham Clark and the steps being taken in response to his recent behavior," Lynch’s letter read, per ESPN. "Following multiple discussions with the USGA and the OCC Board, a decision has been made that Mr. Clark will no longer be permitted on OCC property.

"This decision will remain in effect unless formally reconsidered and approved by the Board."

The letter also noted that Clark could be permitted to play at Oakmont again if he pays for the damages he made, makes a "meaningful contribution" to a charity selected by the OCC Board, and undergoes counseling and/or anger management therapy.

Clark said he has seen the requirements, and has reached out about them. 

"Obviously, it's a no-brainer to pay for the damages. That was a given," Clark said. "Then, obviously all the apologies, and I want to give back to the community because I hurt a great place in Pittsburgh, so I wanted to do anything I can to show them that what happened there was not a reflection of who I am and won't happen again."

Meanwhile, Clark did say he was "hoping it was going to be private" instead of seeing a letter being sent to all Oakmont members.

It will be quite some time until Oakmont hosts a major again, as it’s scheduled to be the home of the 2033 U.S. Open. That will also be the final year of Clark’s 10-year exemption for the tournament after winning it at Los Angeles Country Club in 2023. 

Clark posted a 6-under 65 on Sunday to finish out his major tournament schedule this season, finishing 11-under to tie fourth at Royal Portrush.
