Puig emulates legendary Ballesteros to win Australian PGA Championship
David Puig became the first Spaniard since the legendary Seve Ballesteros to win the Australian PGA Championship, securing the Joe Kirkwood Cup with a superb final round of 66 at Royal Queensland on Sunday.Puig, who turns 24 in a week and was playing his first event since joining the DP World Tour, carded a second successive bogey-free round, finishing at 18-under to win the tournament by two strokes from China's Wenyi Ding, who also had a final-round 66. It was the first time a Spanish player had won the event since the late Ballesteros claimed the crown as a 24-year-old in 1981 at Royal Melbourne, where he fought back from five strokes down in the final round to beat Billy Dunk by three shots, with Greg Norman finishing a further stroke back in a tie for third.

2025 College Football Rankings: Georgia Climbs to No. 3, Texas A&M Drops Out of Top 5
The balance of power shifts once again to the Big Ten and away from the SEC.The nation’s top two teams — consensus No. 1 and No. 2 — will enter the Big Ten Championship Game undefeated.Meanwhile, after Texas defeated Texas A&M for the second consecutive year, no SEC team will enter its conference title game unbeaten. The SEC’s former top-ranked team, Texas A&M, didn’t even qualify for the championship, and the Texas squad that beat the Aggies also lost to Ohio State earlier this season.For the last two seasons, the national champion has emerged from "The Game," where it just means more. In that same span, the SEC hasn’t even sent a team to the title game.It wouldn’t shock anyone if Ohio State and Indiana face off not once but twice in the postseason. What remains to be seen is […]
Anderson: Anyone who doubts motivates to win another Worlds
Gary Anderson is motivated for the World Darts Championship at the best of times but even more so when he hears people doubting whether he could win another world title. Anderson is a two-time world champion, picking up the trophy back-to-back in 2015 and 2016. It makes him the last player to have won the worlds twice in a row now 10 years ago, with Luke Littler chasing that piece of history this time around. Anderson has not made the final since 2021 when he lost to Gerwyn Price but the 'Flying Scotsman' believes he has a third World Darts Championship win in him.

Nezastavitelní Messi a spol. slaví historickou trofej, od snu je dělí jediný zápas
Interu se ve vyřazovací části MLS daří už od úvodního kola. V sérii s Nashvillem rozhodl třetí duel, v němž Miami zvítězilo jasně 4:0. Argentinec Messi k tomu přispěl dvěma góly i asistencemi. V semifinále konference pak tým smetl Cincinnati 4:0, přičemž Messi znovu zářil, když otevřel skóre a poté přidal tři asistence.Proti New Yorku City si Messi sice připsal „pouze“ asistenci, přesto Miami do finále Východní konference vletělo jako uragán. Útočník Tadeo Allende dvěma zásahy během prvních 23 minut naprosto rozbil obranu New Yorku. Hosté sice ještě před pauzou snížili, jejich naděje ale netrvala dlouho.Po změně stran Inter totiž znovu přidal plyn. Mateo Silvetti zvýšil na 3:1 po přesné pobídce Messiho, Telasco Segovia po příchodu z lavičky zapsal čtvrtý gól a Allende završil své představení hattrickem.Po závěrečném hvizdu se stadionem nesl ohromný aplaus, Inter totiž poprvé v historii opanoval Východní konferenci, trofej za ni posléze převzal hvězdný Messi.
