Justin Rose struggles to keep his cool in the heat but Masters dream lives on | Andy Bull
Three-time runner-up throws his putter after missing birdie chance on the 4th as he chases long-held Augusta dream Theyâre hot days and hard greens at this yearâs Masters. The temperature was up in the mid-80s by lunchtime on Friday, and that was underneath the pine trees with a Georgia peach ice-cream sandwich. Out there on the other side of the ropes it looked a whole lot hotter again. The worldâs best golfers sweated away chasing after Rory McIlroyâs lead in conditions which, they all agreed, could yet get as tough as they come at Augusta National. By midway through the afternoon McIlroy loomed over the tournament like the midday sun, and you worried the players who made the mistake of looking directly at the big white leaderboards around the grounds might burn their eyes. A way up ahead of McIlroy, Justin Rose, Brooks Koepka and Jordan Spieth were all playing together in his shade, each doing their best to just stay within a short-ironâs distance of catching him. All of them, at one time or another in the past, had a claim to be the next best, or even, in Spieth and Koepkaâs case, better than the man they were trailing. They have nine major victories between the three of them, not to mention six runners-up finishes at Augusta. Continue reading...

Roberto De Zerbi targets âAnge-ballâ revival to save Spurs from relegation
De Zerbi wants to replicate former managerâs style âI want to see the Spurs I watched with Postecoglouâ Roberto De Zerbi intends to bring back âAnge-ballâ as he attempts to prevent Tottenhamâs first relegation in 49 years. De Zerbi has only seven games in which to impart his complex football philosophy to his players and wants to replicate the rampant, marauding style of the former manager Ange Postecoglou, who won Tottenhamâs first trophy in 17 years but was dismissed after finishing 17th in the Premier League last season.

Bath hit back to reach semi-final after stunning Northampton in 11-try epic
Quarter-final: Bath 43-41 Northampton Hosts recover from 21 points behind in first half There are big games and then there are pivotal contests which define entire campaigns. And when it came to the crunch it was Bath who just had enough power to make the semi-finals of the Champions Cup for the first time in 20 years thanks to a 76th minute try from Ted Hill. There is little to separate the two best teams in England and here was another endlessly compelling battle of wits and wills. Plenty of work still has to be done to reach the final in Bilbao next month with Bath now set to face the winners of Sundayâs mouthwatering all-French tie between Bordeaux and Toulouse. This was a truly sensational hors dâoeuvre, though, with nine tries in the first half alone. Gone are the days of tiptoeing into knockout matches and hoping to edge it 9-6. Continue reading...
West Ham double up twice to thrash Wolves and put Spurs in relegation zone
The moment when West Ham really felt their survival bid pick up pace was when the jab from Taty Castellanos rolled beyond the reach of JosĂŠ SĂĄ and crawled towards the Wolves goal. Two-nil up in a must-win game, Nuno EspĂrito Santoâs side looked unrecognisable from the doomed bunch who dropped seven points off 17th place in early January. This is a different West Ham. This is a West Ham with a punch in attack and, if this daring escape act does end with Premier League football secured for another season, a key part of the story will be how Nuno strengthened his squad in January .

MacIntyre dodges Masters media for second day after first-round outbursts
Officials expected to reprimand Scottish player MacIntyre to miss cut with seven-over-par total Robert MacIntyre declined interview requests for a second Masters day in succession, with the fiery Scot facing a reprimand from Augusta National over his behaviour in the closing stages of round one. MacIntyreâs miserable visit to Georgia concluded with a 71, which ensured he missed the cut at seven over par. The key damage had been done on Thursday, when MacIntyre slumped to an 80 which included a quadruple bogey nine at the 15th. Continue reading...

Pope adds to Smithâs mass of Surrey runs with England woes a world away
Ollie Popeâs 103 and Jamie Smithâs 166 helped Surreyâs many England batters take charge against Leicestershire Midway through its fifth day of action, the first of its second round of fixtures, Ollie Pope became the 11th person to score a century in Division One of the County Championship this season â and five of those play for Surrey. Jamie Smith already has two. The pre-season title favourites may have drawn their opening game but they are looking ominous, in this game and in general, and at stumps were 412 for six. Things also look ominous for Leicestershire, if in a rather different way, as they settle into the top flight after last yearâs promotion. Beaten by Sussex in their season opener, by the second session here, as Smith and Pope cantered towards triple figures, they looked equally underresourced in confidence, ideas and quality. They were buoyed somewhat by a couple of late wickets, if not by glances at the scoreboard. Continue reading...

Luke Wells well caught, diving to his left at third slip off Ben Aitchison, for four. It brings in Josh Bohannonâs for his 100th first-class match.

Grand National preview: Jagwar can deny Irish cohort in Aintree classic
No English stable has won the greatest prize in the sport since 2015 but the selection has all the attributes required It is more than a decade since a Grand National winner was trained in an English stable, as Lucinda Russell, successful twice since 2017 from her yard in Scotlandâs County of Kinross, is the only trainer to break the Irish stranglehold since Oliver Sherwoodâs success with Many Clouds in 2015. The home side put up a much-improved performance at last monthâs Cheltenham festival, however, and Jagwar (4.00), one of two major contenders from Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerrieroâs stable 50 miles from the track, could extend the English revival in the biggest race of the season on Saturday. Jagwar will head to Aintree with all of the attributes you could want to see in a modern-day National winner. He has youth on his side at seven years of age and remains open to improvement with just eight starts over fences on his record to date. Continue reading...

Sign up now! Sign up now! Sign up now? Sign up now! Discipline has long been one of the cornerstones of a successful dressing room in England. If John Eustaceâs Birmingham City players did not wish the training ground reception staff âgood morningâ they were issued with a ÂŁ250 penalty. Steven Gerrard implemented a variety of fines when manager of Aston Villa for players leaving flip-flops in the shower (ÂŁ50), forgetting to bring a cake for a birthday (ÂŁ50, Yaya TourĂŠ: look away now), leaving plates and cups on the dining table (ÂŁ100 an item). When Frank Lampard replaced Maurizio Sarri in 2019-20, Lampard immediately introduced a series of internal disciplinary fines for first-team players. Late for training? Thatâs ÂŁ20,000, guv.

Goodbye and thanks to Aaron Ramsey, a shoo-in for all-time Wales XI | Elis James
The retired midfielderâs absence for the semi-final of Euro 2016 was the great âwhat-ifâ of Welsh football, but even so his brilliant career managed to transform a footballing public for ever If some footballers take time to reach their potential, others seem to be the finished article before theyâre able to drive. A teenage Aaron Ramsey was firmly in the latter camp. After only 11 league starts for Cardiff he had made his international debut for Wales against Denmark, turned down Manchester United in favour of Arsenal, and given Cardiff fans one of the great what-ifs of their clubâs modern age after Dave Jones chose not to start him in the 2008 FA Cup final against Portsmouth, with Ramsey being the tender age of 17. Success-starved supporters who should know better will pin their hopes on to the narrowest of young shoulders and yet it all seemed so easy for the teenager from Caerphilly who was captain of his country by the age of 20, would go on to play in a World Cup and two European Championships, and this week retired as an icon of the Welsh game.

âYou come back differentâ: how rugby players change after motherhood
Four England players will miss the Six Nations as they are pregnant. What do they have in store when they return? By No Helmets Required When England begin their defence of the Womenâs Six Nations against Ireland on Saturday at Twickenham they will be without Zoe Stratford, Lark Atkin-Davies and Rosie Galligan as they prepare to become mothers for the first time. The England rugby league player Kelsey Gentles â who has returned to her sport as a different player and person â says the World Cup winners should embrace the imminent metamorphosis. Gentles left the Womenâs Super League as a sparkling outside back in 2023; when she returned the following year, having given birth to her daughter Maia, she was a prop who blasted holes in defensive lines. She enjoyed a glorious comeback, scoring the winning try as York Valkyrie clinched the Grand Final, but there were challenges along the way. Continue reading...

Grand National 2026: horse-by-horse guide to all the runners
I Am Maximus, the 2024 winner, heads to Aintree on Saturday as favourite to triumph again. Here is a look at the chances of all 34 contenders One of two previous winners at the top of the weights and he backed up his 2024 success by pressing Nick Rockett all the way to the Elbow 12 months ago before finally crying enough. He had shown precious few hints of his National-winning form in two runs before that exceptional performance under top weight and has more to recommend him this year, having finished second in a Grade One in December and fifth in the Irish Gold Cup. In strict handicapping terms, he should probably find one or two too good, but Aintree aptitude is a serious weapon and another podium place is no forlorn hope. Verdict: each-way hope on Aintree form, but no top-weight winner since 70s Continue reading...

Womenâs Six Nations: will anyone stop Englandâs conveyor belt of talent?
Despite a raft of absences, world champions have such depth they will begin the 2026 tournament as firm favourites If there isnât a conspiracy theory out there about England having a factory that churns out world-class players then there should be. The Red Roses squad will be without eight Rugby World Cup winners because of injury, pregnancies and retirements for the Womenâs Six Nations but they are still overwhelming favourites for a grand slam. For others, a squad so depleted would throw their campaign into chaos, but not for England. Abby Dow has retired? The brilliant Claudia Moloney-MacDonald can be brought in. The captain, Zoe Stratford, is pregnant? The World Rugby player of the year nominee Meg Jones steps up to take the armband. The seemingly endless conveyor belt of generational stars at Englandâs disposal is why they have been able to dominate the world stage for the past few years. That and bringing in full-time contracts before anyone else. Continue reading...

What De Zerbiâs comments about Mason Greenwood tell us about male violence | Chris Paouros
Spurs head coachâs apology for past comments about his former player was important but insufficient. If we want things to change in football, we need some accountability Roberto De Zerbi apologised in his first interview as Tottenhamâs head coach for past comments about Mason Greenwood when the forward was his player at Marseille. Spurs supporter groups, including Proud Lilywhites and Women of the Lane, both of which I co-founded, were among those who criticised him. De Zerbi said he had never meant to downplay male violence against women. (Greenwood denied charges of attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault occasioning actual bodily harm in 2022 and the case was discontinued.) That he responded at all matters. Silence from men in positions of power on these issues is its own problem, and I would rather see someone engage than retreat. But what the response offered was self-description rather than accountability. And in this context, that is not enough. I will come to that. Continue reading...
Up the Minstermen? York close on promotion in epic National League battle
After last seasonâs near-miss, the leaders are two points clear of Rochdale, who they play in what could yet be a final-day shootout York is a city famed for centurions of the Roman kind, but now its football club are centurions too. With 101 points on the board and 109 goals scored, the Minstermen have a Football League return firmly in their sights after a decade away. It has been a gruelling journey, punctuated by a near miss last season. The job isnât done, but Mondayâs last-gasp win against Altrincham put them two points clear of Rochdale at the top of the National League with three games to play. Tantalisingly, they go to Rochdale for what could be a final-day shootout for the one automatic promotion spot on 25 April. Traditional pre-match pies, fans enjoy themselves and Yorkie the mascot.

A lower-round AJ Brown to a 306lb missile: the 2026 NFL draftâs under-the-radar prospects
Fernando Mendoza will almost certainly go No 1 overall. But who are the players that teams may take a swing on after the big names have gone? You have to go back to 2000 to find a year in which fewer than four quarterbacks were selected in the top 100 picks. But in this yearâs mediocre quarterback class, the fourth quarterback may not go off the board until day three. After Indianaâs Fernando Mendoza and Alabamaâs Ty Simpson, itâs unclear who will even be the third taken. There is a chasm from the top two down to LSUâs Garrett Nussmeier, Penn Stateâs Drew Allar and Miamiâs Carson Beck. All three are flawed. The most tantalizing mid-round quarterback is Payton, a one-year, lefty starter out of North Dakota State. Continue reading...

Premier League: 10 things to look out for this weekend
There are protests planned at Anfield as Roberto De Zerbi starts his Tottenham tenure and Everton eye Europe Nuno EspĂrito Santo has rolled back the years in an attempt to save West Ham. He has gone old-school, switching to a gung-ho 4-4-2 system to give his side more threat in the final third. Pablo Felipe and Taty Castellanos, both January arrivals, have altered the face of the attack, but neither forward has been prolific. Castellanos has scored three goals in all competitions since joining from Lazio and Pablo, who is yet to open his account in English football, failed to convert during last weekâs penalty shootout defeat by Leeds in the FA Cup. As a pair, though, Castellanos and Pablo have been oddly effective. Are they any good? Unclear. Do they run around a lot and give a previously ponderous West Ham more energy? Undoubtedly. Played together, Pablo and Castellanos do a worthy job for the team. Importantly, they create space for the wingers, Jarrod Bowen and Crysencio Summerville, who hopes to return from a calf injury for Friday nightâs vital home game against Wolves. Bowen and Summerville are the big threats; they are West Hamâs main source of goals, but both are more dangerous with Pablo and Castellanos in the team.

Watkins doubles up to punish Bologna and put Aston Villa in driving seat
There was a heady atmosphere in Bologna before this match, with flags flying everywhere and the legend âweareoneâ plastered on the walls of the Stadio Renato DallâAra. Into this fervent atmosphere stepped Aston Villa, with warnings against complacency from their manager ringing in their ears. The Premier League side did not play well and were second best for much of the night, but they did stay supremely cool and turned the nervous energy of their hosts back on them to take a two-goal lead home to Birmingham. Ezri Konsa opened the scoring after a gaffe by the goalkeeper Federico Ravaglia, before a second-half double from Ollie Watkins determined the outcome of the match and overwrote Jonathan Roweâs late goal for the hosts. Bolognaâs Englishman, a former Norwich City winger, was likely the man of the match, but Watkinsâ ability to remain calm in pressured situations will surely prove the more decisive factor in this tie.

Like most fans in April, Cambridge and Spurs have me fretting about ups and downs in May | Max Rushden
Tottenham are teetering on the verge, while The Uâs have just dropped out of the automatic promotion places in League Two Parents whoâve forgotten how exhausting young children are occasionally stop you and say: âThe days are long, but the years are short.â Some reel â which is where I get all of my information these days â altered it slightly to say: âThe days are long, but the weeks are also long,â which feels more accurate when youâre on your hands and knees on the kitchen floor picking up sticky rice with a wet wipe. There are fewer saccharine Insta posts about football seasons feeling so arduously long and yet suddenly over at the same time. âAh donât you remember when it was the Carabao Cup first round â so cute.â This catches me out every year. Perhaps no one else is blindsided by football season by stealth, but here we are again: only a handful of games remaining to decide everything â and Iâm not entirely sure how weâre at this stage.

American Samoaâs Womenâs World Cup fairytale takes them from âunderdog to dark horseâ
Alma Manaâo, the captain, reflects on their journey from a 21-0 defeat in 1998 to a place in the final round of qualification The American Samoa womenâs team has lived through a scarcely believable tale littered with upsets, and their story is still unfolding. At the end of last year, they entered a World Cup qualification tournament containing the lowest-ranked teams in the smallest federation, the Oceania Football Confederation (OFC). At 153rd in the world rankings, American Samoa ranked the lowest of the low. With an estimated population of 45,319, the islandâs entire population would not sell out even the smallest stadium hosting Fifaâs showpiece event next year. The national teamâs captain, Alma Manaâo, talks of American Samoan culture as being âfamily is above allâ. Multiple sets of sisters represent the team, something Manaâo relishes. âThis is a family, we have got to get together, hold our sisters accountable and push each other,â she says. The Manaâo family hold the record for most family members to participate in Fifa events â âIf we canât win, weâre going to have the most kids!â Alma declares with a laugh â and American Samoa are out to prove there can be success in the family business.

Doing the 92: how football changed during my groundhopping odyssey
During my 43-year adventure I saw pubs close, standing on terraces return and big flags fly all over the country By When Saturday Comes It was bound to end like this: a long and arduous odyssey that started in 1982 on a crumbling terrace culminated on a grey, drizzly afternoon in December watching my team get hammered 3-0 in a brand spanking new stadium named in conjunction with an international commercial law firm. A glorious away win thanks to a last-minute winner would have been somehow too poetic. This was how it was meant to be, when I finally completed the 92. As with that game at Everton, most games were as an away Nottingham Forest fan; others as a neutral. There is much I witnessed and learned from this ludicrous yet wholly fulfilling enterprise and the many miles travelled. For one thing, it used to be that one displayed allegiances by carefully trapping a scarf in the window, so it fluttered outside all the way. This has been replaced by the executive car sticker or personalised number plate and our society is much the worse for it. Continue reading...
