9 d. ago Rory McIlroy back in the mix after prayers answered around Amen Corner

After Thursday’s travails, the world No 2 stormed back into contention with a thrilling back nine in the second round“Psst!” said the man who’d just ambled up to the back of the gallery midway down the 15th fairway. “Psssst!” he said again when everyone ignored him. “Is that Rory’s ball?” No one wanted to turn away from the play, but one of the people standing in front cocked their head and grunted “yup” over his shoulder.The newcomer waited a second. “Do you think he’s going to lay up?” And now someone finally did snap their head right around. “It’s Rory fucking McIlroy,” they said, “he doesn’t know how to lay up.” And with that, everyone fell quiet again, and slapped their hands down on their hats as another great gust of wind blew in.

2 w. ago Big matchups and bigger bucks: Michael Johnson pledges Grand Slam Track will bring ‘fantasy to life’

Athletics legend says his new four-part event, which launches on Friday, is exactly what the sport needsMichael Johnson is one of the few true legends of track and field. Now, though, he is chasing the holy grail. Every four years, athletics is the biggest sport at the Olympics. In between, for most casual fans, it tumbles off a cliff. But Johnson, a four-time gold medallist across the Barcelona, Atlanta and Sydney Games, believes he can change all that with a new big-money professional track league, Grand Slam Track, which launches on Friday in Kingston, Jamaica.“Grand Slam Track is the equivalent of UFC and Formula One,” he tells the Guardian. “The research tells us that people watched track during the Olympics because of the stakes, the stars, and the stories. So that is the recipe. And at the absolute heart of it is the head-to-head competition between the best athletes. Because that’s what people want to see.” Continue reading...

Two years after the fall of Roe v Wade, it is no longer clear whether voters will show up for the singular issueThe United States on Tuesday will face its first major election of the Trump 2.0 era: a race for a single state supreme court seat in Wisconsin that could not only rewrite abortion access in the state, but test whether the issue of abortion rights can still drive voters to the polls.On Tuesday, Wisconsin residents will decide whether to elect liberal Susan Crawford or conservative Brad Schimel, two county judges, to the state supreme court, which is poised to weigh in on two major abortion cases. Abortion rights advocates are trying to use the threat to the procedure to convince people to head to the polls, but, more than two years after the US supreme court overturned Roe v Wade, it is no longer clear whether abortion can tip an election. Democratic candidates talked about outrage over Roe constantly during the 2024 election – and fell short, losing both the White House a...

3 w. ago The Tiger’s Share by Keshava Guha review – hopeless sons vs brilliant daughters

Families are at war in the new India, in a novel raising complex questions about patriotism, nationalism and how the country is changingIn Delhi the seasons are “human-fucked”, explains Tara Saxena, the narrator-protagonist of The Tiger’s Share. Autumn is the “season of smogs and mellow murderousness”; once the smoke arrives in October, “we could no longer see the sky”. Over summer the Loo, a dry “caramelising” wind, slurs through the city, while inside their flats people “lived as cheese and chocolate do in India, refrigerated”. Now and then comes the brief respite of rain. In its aftermath, people head out into the parks to enjoy the momentary cool, the only time when the air is “useably fresh, like a banana that is only one-third rotten”.Food-related imagery abounds in Keshava Guha’s second novel; you are never allowed to forget that all things – produce, people, every species – are perishable, that from the moment of our birth the decay is inbuilt, and that such a truth is all t...
