Rising Welsh star Harry relishes major challenge
"I am definitely super nervous. I have not played a major before so I don't really know what to expect."But I'm looking forward to a new challenge and to see how it is out there."Harry, from Dinas Powys, triumphed by three shots at the Hulencourt Women's Open, which was staged in Belgium.
It was just the eighth LET event for a player who gave a glimpse of her potential by finishing sixth in only her second event at the level, the Australian Women's Classic.Harry also finished fourth at the Tipsport Czech Ladies Open - which came immediately after her victory in Belgium – with a five-foot putt on the last ensuring that she had enough ranking points to claim her Evian Championship place."That was a really nice finish," Harry said."It was really nice to see that I didn't just go and crumble after the win. My confidence levels are nice and high now and I've been given the encouragement to keep going."Harry's promising start to life on the LET continued with a 17th-placed finish at last week's Irish Open.At the Evian Resort this week, Harry will play alongside Thailand's Pajaree Anannarukarn and Germany's Helen Briem - with her first round beginning at 08:48 BST on Thursday.Her goal is to claim a place on America's LPGA Tour – and this week will offer a first chance to compete with many of the star names who are based on the other side of the Atlantic."I am looking forward to seeing what the next level is for me," Harry said."I've not played against a lot of LPGA players before. That is my dream, to be on the LPGA, so it will be learning curve for me, a chance to see what I need to improve to compete against them."

Watch the moment furious Roberto De Zerbi is pulled apart from a Marseille player in training - as the furious Italian tells star to 'call your agent'
Marseille have released the moment their head coach Roberto De Zerbi furiously confronted one of his players on the training ground last season. The former Brighton boss steered Marseille to second place in Ligue 1 in the 2024-25 campaign, sealing a return to the Champions League. Marseille have released a documentary series charting the Italian's first season in charge of the club. The latest episode showed a flashpoint from the season, as De Zerbi and midfielder Ismael Kone were held apart by team-mates on the training ground. Footage showed Kone being dispossessed in training, with an exasperated De Zerbi stating 'Oh my god, when I say reduce the touches, reduce the touches'. 'I can't play, go get a shower,' De Zerbi adds 'Go get a shower Isma, we are Olympique Marseille', as he directed the Canadian international to the changing room. 👀 The training ground altercation between Roberto De Zerbi and Ismaël Koné (23) which led to the Canadian's January departure from Marseille. 🎥 Olympique de Marseille on Youtube — Get French Football News (@GFFN) August 4, 2025 As Kone walks away, De Zerbi is seen shown shouting after the midfielder 'Call your agent, call your agent, he comes here', before repeating the statement. Kone could be seen turning around in response to the comment with De Zerbi shouting 'go inside' as the midfielder responds 'I didn't say anything'. Members of coaching staff and players ran into to stand between Kone and De Zerbi as the row threatened to escalate. Speaking on the documentary, De Zerbi claimed the difference in Kone's level was 'too big' for the midfielder to play for the club. 'He is one of the players with the most potential at Olympique Marseille, but who didn't always behave well, De Zerbi told the documentary. 'Someone who had highs and lows that were too big for a player who is ready for Olympique Marseille.' Kone had been De Zerbi's first signing at Marseille last summer, with the 23-year-old joining in a £15million move from Watford. Just six months after joining, having made eight league appearances, Kone was loaned to fellow Ligue 1 side Rennes. Marseille sporting director Medhi Benatia added 'It was a moment like that Isma knew, what can I say, he knew. He's not a bad guy, he's not a bad guy. 'He arrived at Marseille and I don't think he realised, when he arrived from Watford, Olympique Marseille is not on level two, it is actually on level five. 'Maybe he thought it would be easy, we told him many times 'you need to do more Isma, you need to do more'. And on that day there were a few comments like that, without knowing who was wrong and who was right. After that they argued a bit. 'I was on the side of the pitch and tried to do the same thing, "go to the changing room, come to my office and we'll talk about what you wanted to do". '"You reacted badly, the coach might have spoken to you badly, no worries I am not trying to blame anyone. I have one question, when you turned back, what was it for?" For me it should never go that far.' 'It is a shame, I really like Isma, but unfortunately he didn't understand what Marseille is about'. Training footage also showed De Zerbi approaching Jonathan Rowe, asking the forward whether Kone had been training well. Rowe, who admitted it had been 'one of the most tense moments' of the season, said he offered 'no comment' for fear that he would have also been sent into the changing room. De Zerbi admitted players might have been 'shocked' by the clash, but declared that he was 'used to it' after 30 years in the game. Kone would ultimately score against his parent club on the final day of the season, but his Rennes side were beaten 4-2 by De Zerbi's Marseille. He has since left the club on a season-long loan to Sassuolo, with the Italian club having the option to make the deal permanent.

Tour de France Femmes 2025: Pauline Ferrand-Prevot seals home glory
In April, having just won Paris-Roubaix Femmes, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot made her next goal clear: 'The Tour de France is the No1 objective of the season,' she told L'Équipe. 'I want to win it over the next three years.' On Sunday she took that victory at her first attempt and the final stage along with it, against an all-star field, becoming the first French winner for 36 years. 'This morning I told my directeur sportif, 'I want to try to win in yellow,' ' Ferrand-Prévot said. 'It wasn't easy, quite a tactical race, and at the end I told myself, 'Let's see how I feel on the last climb.' I attacked and I didn't think that I could win that way. I really gave it my all until the last metres, so I didn't have time to savour it all, but I'm so happy to be able to win this stage and the general classification.'

Two back-nine bogeys end Charley Hull's chances at maiden major title
It was another case of so near and yet so far for Charley Hull, who made a valiant attempt to hunt down Miyu Yamashita at the Women's Open but came up tantalisingly short after the Japan star saw off the Englishwoman's challenge to claim her first major title winning by two shots after a two-under-par 70. It was desperately disappointing for Hull, who had played superbly to move within a shot of Yamashita before back-to-back bogeys on the tough 16th and 17th essentially ended her chances at Royal Porthcawl. Contending on the final day at a major is nothing new for the 29-year-old, having either held the lead or been within five of the lead seven times in her career, but some wayward approach shots in the closing stages proved costly and she was forced to settle for a fourth second place.
