Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:59:00 GMT

GUIDONIA MONTECELIO, Italy (AP) — Shane Lowry was punching the air in celebration before he’d even taken his first shot at the Ryder Cup.Standing beside the first tee with partner Sepp Straka, Lowry watched on the big screen as Viktor Hovland — playing in the match ahead — chipped in for birdie from the fringe to get the Europeans rolling in what wound up being a record-breaking morning foursomes on Friday.Lowry threw his right arm into the air and whipped up the European fans who were cheering in the giant grandstand around him.This was always going to be an emotional day for the big Irishman, who was reduced to tears this week in a European team room bedecked in blue and gold with images of the late Seve Ballesteros everywhere.Lowry, the British Open champion in 2019, was not only carrying the baggage of a disappointing Ryder Cup debut in the Americans’ 19-9 thrashing in Whistling Straits two years ago.

Australia keeping calm and moving on to Rugby World Cup finish against Portugal

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 18:59:00 GMT

SAINT-ETIENNE, France (AP) — In spite of the doom and gloom around Australia at the Rugby World Cup, it hasn’t been knocked out yet.Eddie Jones’ misjudged bluster about winning the tournament with a young squad died after consecutive defeats to Fiji and Wales over the last two weekends, but his Wallabies are alive until Saturday evening at least.If, by then, Fiji has beaten Georgia with a bonus point in Bordeaux then Fiji joins Wales in the quarterfinals from Pool C and the Wallabies are shut out of the knockout stage for the first time ever. If Fiji loses to Georgia or doesn’t get a bonus point, it still has one more chance to make the quarters next week against Portugal.In the meantime, the two-time champion Wallabies can cross as many fingers as they can to hex Fiji, and will know their fate before they complete their pool campaign on Sunday in a first meeting with the lively Portuguese.Os Lobos have done their country proud for a team that was the 20th and last...
