11 hours ago Rory McIlroy makes weekend at Desert Classic but Rahm and Hovland exit

Dubai-based Scot Ewen Ferguson leads way on 12 underJon Rahm’s struggles cause a surprise after dismal 77For a spell on Friday afternoon the organisers of the Dubai Desert Classic had cause for panic. Jon Rahm had already tumbled out of the tournament after 36 holes, Viktor Hovland was heading the same way and Rory McIlroy was dangerously close to the cut line. Not for the first time at the Emirates Club, McIlroy saved the day; a birdie at the 18th meant he survived for the weekend with three shots to spare. Given McIlroy’s specialism here – he is seeking a third win in a row – a deficit of nine to the leader, Ewen Ferguson, is unlikely to faze the Northern Irishman.Rahm’s struggles on his first start of 2025 and debut in this tournament caused widespread shock. The Spaniard’s second round of 77, including two double bogeys, contrasted sharply with a 69 on Thursday. “Not the way you want to start the year,” the 2023 Masters champion admitted.

In the past two months we have committed to a long-distance relationship.When we are together everything is perfect; I truly feel like we have something special.

22 hours ago Severance season two review – this weird, wild show is impossibly mesmerising

Adam Scott’s workplace thriller is back – and somehow even more clever, trippy and heartbreaking than before. A total TV triumphIt has been a three-year wait for fans, but the creators of Severance clearly haven’t wasted a minute of it. The first series was fantastically stylish, clever, trippy and compelling. The second is even more so. It demands all your concentration and takes you down rabbit holes so deep and twisted that you may meet yourself coming back. One half of your brain tries to keep up with developments while the other half is trying to digest what it all means. You are effectively severed yourself.When we left our four heroes, Dylan (Zach Cherry) had broken into the security room and tripped the switch that awoke his three friends’s Innies in the Outie world, in the hope of shining a light on Lumon’s cruelties towards employees and its ultimately-unknown-but-surely-not-morally-sound purpose.
