    Scheffler searches for form with Masters looming as Åberg leads the way at Players

    World No 1 sitting outside the top 20 with one round to go Åberg takes three-shot lead into final 18 holes at Sawgrass There is a robotic element to Scottie Scheffler during periods of success but observing the world No 1 in times of adversity is far more intriguing. There is more – much more – to the American than meets the eye. This is a golfer who was once reduced to tears after a Ryder Cup trouncing. While all charges were eventually dropped, the mere fact Scheffler found himself in a prison jumpsuit before a round at the 2024 US PGA was highly unusual. Last summer, he was filmed in long and histrionic discussion with his coach amid struggles at the US Open. Continue reading...

    Ireland savage Scotland to land triple crown and heal wounds of France defeat

    Ireland 43-21 Scotland Andy Farrell’s side run in six tries in dominant display In sporting vernacular Scotland have long looked on Dublin as a “hard place to go”. Roughly an hour’s flight time from Edinburgh, they get to stay in a decent hotel, play in a relatively modern stadium with good facilities, against modestly resourced opponents, and in conditions they could never describe as alien. Despite this comforting familiarity, ever since Dan Parks nailed a touchline penalty at Croke Park in 2010 to scuttle Ireland’s triple crown voyage the Scots have associated this fixture with trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube wearing oven gloves. On it goes. Faced with the losing run in the fixture hitting a dozen, Scotland did their best to change the narrative. There was no consolation prize in this triple crown decider, but perhaps a sliver of satisfaction at having played a huge part in an enthralling game of rugby where the outcome revealed itself only with 12 minutes left.

    European football: Díaz rescues Bayern and then sees red against Leverkusen

    Harry Kane has goal disallowed on return Guler scores from own half in Real Madrid victory Bayern Munich came from behind and finished the match with nine players in a 1-1 draw at Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday, allowing Borussia Dortmund to close to within nine points of the Bundesliga leaders. Luis Díaz, who scored the equaliser after Aleix García’s opener, was sent off in the 84th minute for a second yellow card. Nicolas Jackson had received a red card in the 42nd minute. Leverkusen took the lead in the sixth minute after Montrell Culbreath stole the ball off Díaz and fed it to Patrik Schick, who set up García on the edge of the box. The midfielder slotted home with a deflected shot. The hosts defended well to contain Bayern, and frustration showed when Jackson was sent off before half-time for a late challenge on Martin Terrier.
