Putting may be a thorny issue for Justin Rose but there’s reason to think he can bloom at Sawgrass

May 9, 2016

I have always regarded Justin Rose as a great putter so I can understand why he was so disappointed to slip from the top of the leaderboard and finish third at the Wells Fargo Championship on Sunday. Rose played beautifully all week at Quail Hollow and shared the lead with four to play but squandered [...]

The world's most valuable football match takes place this weekend – not in the moneyed surrounds of the Santiago Bernabeu, the Etihad Stadium or the Parc des Princes, but in a rather more mundane setting.

Haydock stages a really interesting mixed card on Saturday and National Hunt enthusiasts have their last fix before July’s Galway Festival. Final declarations are made for the Swinton Hurdle (2.15pm) on Friday morning, but the entries suggest this year’s renewal is going to be high quality. Dan Skelton had a fantastic 2015/16 season, culminating in [...]
Horse racing betting: Linguistic looks set to read the script perfectly for Gosden

There is some decent action at Chester and Ascot on Friday and the highlight on the Roodee is the Ormonde Stakes (3.10pm).

Instead, the Gunners travel to Manchester on Sunday with the trophy already in the [...]
