Matt Fitzpatrick was asked about his reaction to the crowds down the stretch at the RBC Heritage: "It didn't get out of line in terms of no one was shouting on backswings or anything like that, which was great. I'm all for it. I love the people -- they're supporting Scottie; that's great. You want golf to have an atmosphere in my opinion. I grew up watching football. I'm paid so much money to be out there in front of those crowds, having them chanting at you every week, it's great feeling. "However, there's no better feeling than coming out on top against that. There isn't a better feeling."

Rafael Nadal was diagnosed with Müller-Weiss syndrome at 19 years old. The navicular bone in his left foot was collapsing. There is no cure. The condition is degenerative. It only gets worse. The navicular is the keystone of the human foot. It catches the head of the talus and connects to the first three toes. It absorbs the majority of load when you change direction. In tennis, players change direction hundreds of times per match. On clay, where the surface forces you to slide into every shot, the stress on that bone multiplies. His sport demands exactly the one thing his body could no longer do without pain. He won 22 Grand Slams after the diagnosis. Fourteen of them at Roland Garros, the clay court tournament that punished his foot the hardest. His record there: 112 wins, 4 losses. A 97% win rate across 23 years at the single venue that required the most from the bone that was failing him. For context, the other Grand Slam dominance records: Djokovic at the Australian Open has a 91% win rate. Federer at Wimbledon had 88%. Nadal's 97% at Roland Garros isn't just the best in tennis. There may not be a comparable number in any individual sport at any single venue, ever. He once told reporters he doesn't remember what the feeling of playing without pain is. The condition is most common in women aged 40 to 60. He got it at 19 and kept winning for 19 more years. The Rafa documentary drops May 29. During the French Open. The tournament he won 14 times will be happening without him while 300 million subscribers watch what it actually cost him to own it. He turns 40 on June 3. Netflix timed this so the stadium that was his is full of players trying to fill a void that 97% says might be permanent.

Today's session was remarkable in raising awareness about #LungHealthAwarenessMonth. Thanks to @itvnews for filming a follow-up piece on our @macmillancancer project. Our project has seen a major shift in the change of attitudes towards cancer in the local #BAME communities 💚

On August 8, 1982, a line drive foul ball hit a four year old boy in the head at Fenway Park. Jim Rice, realizing it would take EMTs too long to arrive and cut through the crowd, sprang from the dugout and scooped up the boy... He laid the boy gently on the dugout floor, where the Red Sox medical team began to treat him. When the boy arrived at the hospital thirty minutes later, doctors said, without a doubt, that Jim's prompt actions saved the boy's life. Jim returned to the game in a blood-stained uniform. A true badge of courage. After visiting the boy in the hospital, and realizing the family was of modest means, he stopped by the business office and instructed that the bill be sent to him. This is what a real sports hero looks like. "Love is patient. Love is kind." Thank you Jim Rice for who you are and for all you do.

I’ll just keep knocking on that 🚪 See you next year Augusta! Congratulations @McIlroyRory going back-to-back Thank you for all the support #Team🌹

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world. Most of all, it’s a testament to the resilience and determination of the Hungarian people – and a reminder to all of us to keep striving for fairness, equality and the rule of law.

Local authority workers are the backbone of communities across the UK, providing many public services that are vital for a functioning society ... there now needs to be an immediate overhaul of how all councils are funded before it is too late.

TV reporter tells David Bowie the internet is "hugely exaggerated" David Bowie's response is the closest thing to perfection about the future.

Back on the road for five weeks… It was a shorter trip home than expected after the @TGL semi-final win. Busy few weeks ahead starting with the TGL final tomorrow and Tuesday, Easter holidays with the family and a few big tournaments in April!! I also wanted to share something really meaningful that happened while I was home. A couple of close friends saw that the original @british_masters trophy was going up for auction and without me knowing bought it for me as a gift… It means so much, I was actually lost for words. It’s the only professional win my late father was there to see. Truly special 🙏

Not been the best of weekends after inaccurate newspaper headlines. But somehow, Mortimer and Whitehouse, on their travels, make you realise that life is to be loved, cherished and enjoyed to the full. Two fine chaps…and Ted whose massage was just heavenly… for him, zzz. 👌
