Day 1 of the Ryder Cup got off to a rousing, surprising start for the United States but ended with a whimper. The underdogs grabbed an early lead, 2.5-1.5, in the morning four-ball matches thanks to the efforts of Phil Mickelson and Keegan Bradley against Sergio Garcia and Rory MciLroy. The afternoon session seemed more in line with what the expectations were heading into the day. Mickelson and...

Golf is traditionally an individual sport, but for one weekend a year, the Ryder Cup allows fans to watch the top names go head-to-head in a team competition.

The result was only a half-point out of two matches, but the late comeback during the afternoon session should provide some positive vibes heading into Saturday.

Two years ago, the American team entered the final day of the Ryder Cup with a four-point lead on home soil and watched as Europe stormed back to win. If that doesn’t serve as motivation as it arrives in Scotland for the 40th edition of the event, nothing will. Notably absent from this year’s matches is Tiger Woods. He served as the anchor in singles at Medinah, but Europe had already secured...

Fernando Alonso‘s future is the hot topic in Formula One this week. In less than five days, the Spaniard has been linked to four different teams—five, if we include his current employer, Ferrari. Amid a flood of rumours, it remains unclear what his plans for 2015 are. Also unclear is whether he’ll be racing in a two- or three-car team. McLaren racing director Eric Boullier says the...

There is a little bit of the old Dunga left, so it would seem. The new Brazil boss has been rightfully praised for introducing a new, or rather discarded, style of play in this month’s friendlies against Colombia and Ecuador. On Wednesday evening, however, an old name, a favourite of Dunga‘s first reign, was brought up in conversation. The Selecao coach was a guest on Fox Sports Brasil’s...

Williams are enjoying their most successful Formula One season for a decade. The team sit third in the constructors’ championship with 187 points—32 more than they scored in the four preceding seasons put together. This marked upswing in form was no accident. Aware that Mercedes were set to have the best engine for the start of the V6 hybrid era, Williams made the decision to switch to...

Sitting level on 10 points apiece, the two teams hoping to bring New Zealand back down to Earth will compete to remain within reach of the All Blacks. Injuries and other absences...
