You're tuned in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
Ryan Fox has done the unthinkable at Royal Birkdale. The thirty-nine-year-old New Zealander, who came into the Open Championship at odds as long as two hundred to one, birdied four of his final six holes — including the brutal eighteenth — to claim his first major title by a single stroke over Cameron Young. Ranked fifty-sixth in the world heading in, Fox just rewrote what an underdog story looks like in professional golf.
Shifting to the pitch, and the two thousand twenty-six World Cup final is set. Argentina have named their lineup to face Spain, with three changes from their previous match — Rodrigo De Paul, Nico González, and Gonzalo Montiel all coming into the starting eleven. The defending champions are ready. This is the biggest stage in football, and Lionel Scaloni is making his moves count.
And over at Lord's, England have done something that ground has never seen before. They posted the highest one-day international total in the ground's storied history, then held on to beat India by twenty-seven runs and seal a two-one series victory. A remarkable performance from a side that came into this series with plenty to prove.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
