4 d. ago Masters nearly man Justin Rose plays huge part in McIlroy’s historic win | Andy Bull

The 44-year-old handled another near miss at Augusta with class and his place in Europe’s Ryder Cup team looks assuredThere was one very happy man in Augusta on Monday morning, and there were 52 all in a stew, turning over thoughts of what went right and what went wrong, that short putt on the 6th, that wayward chip on 12, that sliced drive on 15, or whatever it was that cost them their shot at winning the 2025 Masters. While Rory McIlroy can enjoy what was, everyone else in the field is wondering what might have been. Justin Rose will feel it most. Rose, the antagonist in Rory’s story, scored 65, 71, 75, 66 – the last of them, he said himself, “a bogey away from being the greatest round I’ve ever played”.The second shots during the playoff summed it up. Rose’s was pretty near perfect in the circumstances, and landed 15 feet from the pin, McIlroy’s landed just beyond it, caught the slope, and rolled back down and around, past Rose’s ball, and finished up 5ft from the cup.

1 week ago Southampton endure historic Premier League relegation after defeat at Spurs

It may be that Southampton pick up the two points they need to surpass Derby’s 2007-08 tally of 11 so as not to be ranked the worst team in Premier League history, but no side has ever previously been relegated with seven games of the season remaining. In that sense, and that alone, this was a historic afternoon, a new high in abjection. A facile win, though, did not bring a huge amount of joy for Tottenham.It’s remarkable just how bad a team in Southampton’s position can become, how beaten-down players become unable to perform even the simplest functions. Like their 5-0 win at St Mary’s in December, the game that led to Russell Martin being dismissed, there was a sense that it was almost too straightforward to be meaningful. Yes, the knife cut through the butter; that doesn’t make it a good knife. Continue reading...
