Latest updates from the decisive day of the 153rd OpenLive official leaderboard | And you can email ScottRory McIlroy is out and about, soundtracked by the usual ozone-layer-bothering roars.

4 h. ago Liverpool continue talks over signing Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt

Reports of £69m deal being agreed said to be prematureEkitike keen on move to Premier League championsLiverpool continue to be in negotiations over the signing of Eintracht Frankfurt’s Hugo Ekitike. Reports in Germany of a deal being agreed for a £69m fee are said to be premature by sources at the Premier League champions, although it is believed the France Under-21 forward does favour a move to Anfield.Ekitike is expected to eventually join Liverpool as they look to overhaul their striking department, a situation further necessitated by the tragic death of Diogo Jota earlier this month. Luis Díaz could well depart from Merseyside, with Bayern Munich an interested party in the Colombia international, and Darwin Núñez is still very much for sale despite a move to Napoli the Uruguayan wanted having gone cold.
