1 hour ago US Open golf 2025: first round pits players against brutal Oakmont setup – live

Updates from the opening round at OakmontOfficial live leaderboard | Drop Scott an emailEarlier this week, the DP World Tour socials collared a few pros and asked them what an 18-handicapper would shoot at Oakmont this week. The most generous estimate was 120; Bryson DeChambeau guessed 100, but that’s just on the front nine. Several of them were certain they’d have to walk in, having lost all of their balls.As for the pros? Take the last couple of US Opens to be held here. Angel Cabrera won in 2007 with a final total of +5. In 2016, Shane Lowry held a four-stroke lead going into the final round only to shoot 76 and let Dustin Johnson in. This place – the jungle rough, the upturned-saucer greens, the excitable needle on the stimpmeter – makes mincemeat of the best of them. The lowest winning total at a US Open here is -5, and it took Ben Hogan to manage that, for goodness sake. (To be fair, Johnny Miller and Ernie Els won with -5 as well, Miller shooting the first-ever 63 in a major ...

2 h. ago Largest ever plunge in UK exports to US as Trump tariffs hurt growth; dollar hits three

UK economy shrank by 0.3% in April, biggest fall since October 2023, as trade with the US slumpedFull story: UK economy shrinks by 0.3% as as exports hit by Trump trade warNicholas Hyett, Investment Manager at Wealth Club, blames “a cocktail of headwinds to growth” for the 0.3% fall in UK GDP in April.Hyett says:In the very short term the change to Stamp Duty rules have put the legal and property services on ice - with legal activities down 10.2% month-on-month.New barriers to trade with the US and changes to employment costs, from a higher living wage and increased national insurance contributions, are a longer term challenge.“The 0.3% m/m fall in real GDP in April supports our view that the strength in Q1 was unsustainable. This won’t prompt the Bank of England to cut interest rates next Thursday. But it is one more piece of news pointing to another cut in August.”We still expect the Bank Rate to be maintained at 4.25% in the June meeting, to allow still troubling earnings growth ...

2 h. ago Esther González: ‘Now girls can grow up in Spain knowing we have Ballon d’Or winners’

One of the world’s best strikers talks about being part of a revolution, moving to Gotham FC and the upcoming EurosEsther González is at the top of her game. The 32-year-old striker’s list of accolades – World Cup winner, three-time Liga F champion, National Women’s Soccer League champion, Copa de la Reina victor and Concacaf W Champions Cup winner – is matched by few in the sport. But as a young girl growing up in southern Spain, her path was uncertain, rife with obstacles. “As a child, I dreamed of what I wanted to be when I grew up,” she says. “It was a soccer player. But, let’s say, circumstances didn’t allow me to see women’s soccer or anything close to women’s soccer.”As she grew up with three sisters, González’s earliest memories of football were playing with her hermanas in their small village in Andalusia. She dreamed of being a footballer, but there wasn’t a path before her. The shy young talent with a nose for goals would play with the local boys: they needed a goalscorer...
