Plz don't criticise the keeper there - that's genius from Bonmati
Maybe one of the best golf pieces of the year, incredible reporting by Gavin
One last piece from Portrush - This is one of my favourite Rory McIlroy stories, though it's not really about Rory McIlroy at all. (Free to read) Rory McIlroy’s Portrush gesture completes one man’s 19-year journey to replace what was lost the42.ie/6768794

New 42FM podcast - why really we have to admit that it's okay for sportspeople to choke
NEW: @SineadOCarroll and @gcooney93 look back on a shocking All-Ireland final collapse by Cork. Did they choke? And why is there such stigma attached to calling sportspeople chokers? They explain what it means to choke, and why it happens. open.spotify.com/episode/6wobvq…
Wait... did they photoshop Scottie's hairline? 👀
Shane Lowry reaction Lowry shifts focus to Ryder Cup after finally finding an enjoyable day around Royal Portrush the42.ie/6768252

Piece from the final day of The Open Scheffler's masterpiece gives the Portrush crowds what they expected rather than what they wanted the42.ie/6768347
Shane Lowry today, on Scottie Scheffler: "If Scottie's feet stayed stable and his swing looked like Adam Scott's, we'd be talking about him in the same words as Tiger Woods. I just think because it doesn't look so perfect, we don't talk about him like that"
If you would have told me at the start of this week that the leaderboard on Sunday at one point would be … 1. Scheffler T2. McIlroy T2. DeChambeau I would have imagined being a lot more excited than I currently am.
Four holes in and the only drama remaining is waiting to see the size of Scheffler's winning margin
Another stunner of a day at Portrush - exactly what everyone chasing Scottie Scheffler did not want

Yet again it was Scottie Schefflers day - but what a day all the same McIlroy charge electrifies Portrush but Scottie Scheffler remains as in-control as ever before the42.ie/6767896
Rory McIlroy says he is going to try and relax before his final round by watching Oppenheimer. As the guy who told Scottie Scheffler to change his putter, he must feel like Oppenheimer
or not - monster eagle putt on 12!
The momentum has stalled - A bogey on 11 as Scheffler eagles 7. McIlroy now seven back
