2 w. ago Tommy Fleetwood delivers feelgood factor in ending his US drought | Sean Ingle

One of the few universally popular male sports stars, the Briton’s first win in 164 PGA Tour attempts is perhaps golf’s brightest story of 2025Some of us have always known that deep inside Tommy Fleetwood lurked a cold-blooded winner. Back in the late 90s I was working at the golf magazine Fore! when the deputy editor Simon Caney returned to the office after being thrashed 6&5 by a tiny eight-year-old who had shown him no mercy.

While we can’t yet be certain of the full impact of the substances, we know that many have been linked to health effects and that foetuses, infants and young children are highly vulnerable. Microplastics have been shown to damage human cells in laboratory experiments, and a review published this month documented how exposure is associated with increased risks of miscarriage, stillb...
