2 h. ago Rory McIlroy finds his mojo getting out of bunker trouble on day one at Scottish Open

Masters champion holes three long putts to finishScottie Scheffler three off lead after first roundThe latest glimpse of a return of Rory McIlroy’s mojo arrived over the closing stretch of the Scottish Open’s first round. He has spoken of an understandable need to find new mountains to scale after Masters glory completed a career grand slam. On the 15th hole at the Renaissance Club, the Northern Irishman was in trouble; his fairway bunker shot had rolled back towards his feet. McIlroy’s ball sat in the mark created by his first attempt. “It served me right for trying to hit a nine-iron with the lip two feet in front of me,” he said later.The response was notable. The world No 2 pitched out sideways, holed from 21ft – and the fringe of the green – for a bogey and rattled off three birdies in a row over the closing holes. A 68 to start at the tournament which precedes McIlroy’s Open Championship tilt at Portrush was hugely impressive in context. He sits only four shots from the lead. ...

As Russia intensifies its brutal assault, morale is battered but unbroken. European solidarity must remain strong tooEuropean leaders gathered in Rome on Thursday for a conference on Ukrainian recovery, but endurance remains the priority. Russia has intensified its assault with punishing strikes far beyond the frontline – including a record 728 drones and 13 missiles one day before the conference. The UN said that civilian casualties last month were at their highest for three years, with at least 232 people killed and 1,343 injured.Russia’s brutal offensive aims to break Ukraine’s spirit and European solidarity. Even Donald Trump appears to be realising, with encouragement, that Moscow is not interested in peace. For Mr Trump, maximalism is a negotiating tactic; he does not recognise that for Vladimir Putin it reflects a fixation. Yet this week he acknowledged: “We get a lot of bullshit thrown at us by Putin He’s very nice all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless.”...
