The Open 2025 LIVE RESULTS: Scottie Scheffler WINS fourth major after stunning final day at Royal Portrush

The grass is always greener
Rory McIlroy fell to his knees and later broke down in tears after he FINALLY WON the Masters and got his hands on the prestigious Green Jacket.
After what has been more than a decade of heartbreak at Augusta, Rory won the Masters title to complete the Grand Slam and cement himself as one of the elites.
He had to do it the hard way after going to a play-off with Ryder Cup team-mate Justin Rose, as McIlroy had missed a five footer for par on the 72nd green.
But the golfing great held his nerve to win that elusive Masters crown before later breaking down in tears during a TV interview.
And I'm sure he won't mind shedding more tears if it means he picks up The Open title once the weekend has concluded.

Boris Becker slams Alexander Zverev's mental health admission as a mistake

Alexander Zverev was beaten in the first round at Wimbledon before opening up on his struggles away from the court, with Boris Becker questioning his decision to do so German tennis legend Boris Becker has claimed Alexander Zverev made an error in judgement when discussing his mental health struggles following his shock first-round exit at Wimbledon. Zverev, 28, has long been earmarked as a future Grand Slam champion but he has been plagued by controversy. ‌ Whilst he has reached the final of every major tournament apart from SW19, the world No. 3 has yet to fulfil the lofty expectations many had predicted for him. Zverev's dreams of claiming a maiden major at Wimbledon were crushed in the opening round this summer when he suffered defeat to Arthur Rinderknech. ‌ Following the loss, he spoke candidly about his recent difficulties and garnered backing from numerous supporters. Nevertheless, Becker, a three-time Wimbledon winner, believes that Zverev wasn't given proper guidance by his entourage and should have kept his private torment under wraps. ‌ "Alexander Zverev is like an adopted son to me in the sports world; I feel a lot of empathy for him," Becker, 57, said via Tennis365. "If I had been his coach, I would have advised him not to disclose that information about his mental state in the Wimbledon press conference. The ideal thing is not to open up to the world when one is eliminated in the first round of a Grand Slam." Becker reinforced his faith that Zverev can recapture his previous form however, adding: "Perhaps it was the revelation he needed. I am convinced that he will win his Grand Slam and that he can become number one at some point. Becoming number one is challenging, but staying number one is the most difficult thing in the world." ‌ Following his surprising departure at the All England Club, Zverev left the tennis world stunned with his frank admission. "I've never felt this empty before. Just lacking joy, just lacking joy in everything that I do," he said. "It's not necessarily about tennis. Just lacking joy outside of tennis, as well. I don't think tennis is the problem right now for me. It's something else that I have to find within me at the moment. But something within me has to change, which is not necessarily on the tennis court. "It's funny, I feel very alone out there at times. I struggle mentally. It's difficult to find joy outside the tennis court for me at the moment. ‌ "It's not an excuse or anything. I think Arthur deserved to win. It's something I've felt for the past few months. Again, I just feel generally very, very alone and very lonely. I don't know. Just never felt that way before." Beyond the court, Zverev has found himself embroiled in scandal. He faced domestic abuse allegations from his ex-girlfriend. Zverev refuted the accusations and challenged the order, leading to a public trial that was subsequently dropped. "I've been through a lot of difficulties. I've been through a lot of difficulties in the media. I've been through a lot of difficulties in life generally," he added following his defeat at Wimbledon. "It's just not there right now for me, which, again, is the first time in my life, which I'm feeling." Zverev is set to compete next at the Canadian Open, where he will go head-to-head with Australian Adam Walton in Tuesday's round of 64.

Inside Manhattan's sizzling birthday hotspots... from a beach with imported Hamptons sand to a bar with delectable custom dinner menus

Turning 39 in New York City is no small feat and as someone who lives and breathes the social scene, I knew I had to do it right. After years of planning parties, attending the chicest events and helping others pull off their big moments, I finally decided it was time to put together the ultimate NYC birthday itinerary. The day kicked off in style at The Beach at Dream Downtown, a new personal go-to when I want to feel like I'm on vacation without ever leaving Manhattan. I grabbed a chaise lounge by the sparkling glass bottom pool (yes, that's a thing) and spent the early afternoon in the sun with a few close friends. What sets this spot apart? The beach isn't just a vibe, it's real Montauk sand, imported from the Hamptons to bring that breezy coastal feel right into the heart of the city. With private cabanas, a full-service bar, and that signature New York edge, it's like Miami met Montauk and moved to Chelsea - and I loved it. The refreshing poolside menu (shoutout to Tao Group Hospitality) delivered everything from indulgent bar snacks to some seriously good handcrafted cocktails. The star of the show was the $18 Dubai Chocolate Shake with a rich blend of dark chocolate, vanilla ice cream, pistachio and kataifi. It's the ultimate rooftop indulgence for those who like their desserts as extra as their views. Between bites of crispy fries and sips of spicy margaritas, I had a full 'main character' moment — and honestly, you should too. After poolside bliss, it was time to gather the crew (all 25 of them) for dinner at Alessa Cucina in Midtown. Finding a place that can accommodate that many people in NYC without losing charm or quality is rare, but Alessa fully delivered. We were tucked away in a perfect semi-private space, which made the night feel intimate, chic, and exclusive without ever feeling stuffy. Alessa Cucina delivered on every level with tender, house-made meatballs that melted in your mouth and a custom event menu that brought a personal, elevated touch to the evening. Proof that good food and thoughtful details make all the difference The staff? Incredible. The vibe? Immaculate. And don't get me started on the food! From the Housemade meatballs to the burrata-topped pizzas, every bite felt elevated yet comforting. The team even created a custom prefixed menu just for my birthday, which is that kind of detail that makes a dinner feel really personal. It's the kind of place that works just as well for a romantic date night as it does for a big celebration. But the night didn't stop there because no NYC birthday is complete without a little dancing, some shoulder rubbing with NYC's whose who, and a lot of views. The Highlight Room's outdoor terrace served up unbeatable skyline views as the sun set over NYC the perfect backdrop to close out the night in style We wrapped the evening at The Highlight Room on the Lower East Side. With sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline and a soundtrack that kept us on our feet until well past midnight, it was the cherry on top of an already unforgettable day. Whether you're living in New York or just visiting, Highlight Room is a must, even if it's just for a post-work cocktail. The rooftop vibe is unmatched, and the energy is the perfect mix of downtown cool and high-end sophistication. Planning the perfect birthday in NYC doesn't have to be overwhelming it just takes a little creativity, the right venues, and, of course, the best people. This year reminded me that you don't need to leave the city to feel like you're somewhere magical.
