The 148th edition of the oldest major in golf begins on Thursday, at Royal Portrush Golf Club, the only venue outside England and Scotland to have ever hosted the event. Located in County Antrim, approximately 60 miles north-west of Belfast, the course sits on the northern tip of Northern Ireland, along the 22-mile strait separating the country from Scotland. While the position offers an incredibly picturesque setting—the course is perched over cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean—it leaves Portrush open to the notoriously temperamental weather typical of these latitudes....

The pop superstar, 40, has publicly shared a series of far-from-glowing takes on her family over the past few months, intensifying her criticism of them when her battle to be released from her conservatorship reached its height. And the “Toxic” singer turned things up a notch in her war of words with her sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, when she issued the former Zoey 101 star with a cease and desist letter over the promotion of her new memoir, Things I Should Have Said....

That’s because she remains under the conservatorship of her father, Jamie Spears, as she has been since 2008. This legally-binding constraint on the pop star leaves her without control of her finances, business, or even personal affairs. While a #FreeBritney movement calls for her to be, well, freed from such binding rules, it’s clear she does prefer to have someone in control of her financial decisions—just not her father. This summer, her lawyer Samuel D....

During the post-fight press conference, the Swedish fighter - who is undoubtedly confident about facing anyone and everyone - claimed that he would even step into the Octagon with Brock Lesnar. While speaking to the MMA media, Khamzat Chimaev made it clear that he is ready to face veteran Demian Maia, who is next in line for a fight against the former, per reports. However, the Swedish fighter also added that he is ready to face anyone that the promotion offers him, including former UFC Heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar....

Lesnar’s cash-in happened after the main event between the team of Becky Lynch and Seth Rollins, and Lacey Evans and Baron Corbin in an Extreme Rules match. If Lynch and Rollins lost, they both would lose their respective titles. After Corbin took out Becky Lynch with an End of Days, an irate Rollins hit Corbin with three Stomps to pick up the victory. However, the match tired out the Universal Champion who couldn’t compose himself when Lesnar’s music hit....

Marshall probably could have guessed there would be backlash for his actions. It comes with the territory. But the letter he posted on his Instagram account Friday shows another side of the ugliness. Something that goes beyond politics. “The hatred by some against people of color is one of the reasons we are where we’re at in the world today, and they wonder why we feel the way we do and take the stances that we take,” Marshall wrote....

“Definitely, we would get (Brendon) McCullum because there is no Global Twenty20 League now and he will be available from November 15,” Rangpur Riders’s Chief Executive Istiak Sadek was quoted as saying by Cricbuzz. He added, “As far as Gayle is concerned, he wants to arrive after five to six games while we are trying to bring him earlier than that. He will surely come but we cannot give the exact date as it is still not confirmed....

McCullum, however, didn’t wait for that one more shot over the ropes, that would have made him the batsman with the most number of sixes in Test matches, and declared the innings immediately after his team crossed the lead of 400 runs, which came with his 100th Six. He is now tied with the Australian legend, Adam Gilchrist, as the batsman with the most number of sixes in Test cricket....

The Packers’ decision to trade up four spots to select the Utah State quarterback raised eyebrows in the NFL, as not only did the franchise not add the receiver Rodgers had been crying out for, but it also signalled it has began planning for life after its veteran quarterback. Favre knows a thing or two about being replaced by a younger signal caller. He was 37 when the Packers drafted Rodgers as his heir apparent in 2005 and while the latter sat for his first three seasons in the NFL, he eventually got the starting job when Favre left for the New York Jets....

The NFL world is none too pleased with the former Green Bay Packers star, perhaps signified best by a former teammate of his sending out a scathing tweet. Sage Rosenfels was briefly his teammate when the Hall of Famer joined the Minnesota Vikings in 2009. Both quarterbacks retired in 2010, the final time Favre retired and actually stuck with it. Rosenfels stated in his tweet that since the two of them have left the NFL, one of them has managed to not commit any crimes like this....

“Hey Buffalo 57… and Atlanta 6… we are hiring in Florida. Lower taxes, no spineless leadership, or dumb mayors rambling on a [sic] press conferences… Plus… we got your back! #lawandorderFlorida #movetowhereyouare,” wrote Brevard County FOP in a message shared to Facebook on Saturday. Screenshots of the social media post circulated on Twitter after the group deleted it from Facebook.

Brighton produced a good second-half performance, with Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea called into action several times. However, the Old Trafford club defended well, ensuring a clean sheet in the process. The result ensures that Manchester United jump ahead of Wolves to fifth spot in the Premier League table. On the other hand, Brighton who lie in 16th position, will be casting a wary glance behind as Watford and West Ham close in....

The win takes the Seagulls to 24 points from 21 matches, while Chelsea just cannot kill games off against lesser daunting oppositions. Since the start of the festive period, they’ve succumbed to three defeats and a draw against teams outside the top half of the table - West Ham, Bournemouth, Southampton and now, Brighton. The game was one of two halves, with the hosts taking the attack to Chelsea in the second....

The 23-year-old Brazilian made 49 appearances for Leipzig after leaving Red Bull Salzburg in 2016, representing the German side in the Champions League and Europa League last season. He becomes the club’s fourth signing ahead of the 2018-19 campaign with Chris Hughton already strengthening his hand with the arrivals of Jason Steele, Florin Andone and Leon Balogun. “We’re delighted to welcome Bernardo to the club,” Hughton told the club’s website....

Appearing on Good Morning Britain, Ryan-Mark Parsons defended his idea. “It’s kind of a sick idea, isn’t it?” the show’s host, Susanna Reid, asked, weighing the notion of Parsons’ proposal after describing images broadcast worldwide of koalas suffering and dying due to the flames. “I don’t think it is a sick idea, because you have to take into account that the purpose of this is to raise money for the injured animals in the rescue centers,” he said....

Kuchar’s best performance at The Open came in 2012 at Royal Lytham & St Annes, when he finished in a tie for ninth behind winner Ernie Els, who pounced on Adam Scott’s late collapse.
