'I lost over £1million to Rory McIlroy - but it's helped me contend at US Open'
J.J. Spaun carded a four-under opening round to lead the US Open at Oakmont, and the 34-year-old believes his recent play-off loss to Rory McIlroy has helped him in the long run J. J. Spaun delivered a stunning four-under opening round to take the lead at the US Open at Oakmont. The 34-year-old credits his costly £1million loss to Rory McIlroy at the Players Championship for his opening success. Spaun's first-round performance in Pennsylvania was remarkable. At the 2016 US Open, the last time the major was held at Oakmont, the only bogey-free round was carded by winner Dustin Johnson, who suggested the course has become even more challenging. Like Johnson, Spaun posted a bogey-less round on Thursday. However, the American attributes his excellent form this season to an unlikely source: his heartbreaking loss to McIlroy in The Players Championship, where he was defeated by the five-time major champion in a playoff. During The Players, McIlroy overcame a four-shot deficit on the final day to seize the lead before Spaun equalled him following a severe weather delay. The next day, the Northern Irishman triumphed in their three-hole play-off, and cost Spaun over £1m in potential prize money. Spaun was undoubtedly disappointed with how his week at TPC Sawgrass ended, but the now-seasoned player has turned his emotions into a positive force, reports the Mirror US. With just one PGA Tour win under his belt, he finds himself leading after 18 holes in the 125th US Open at the formidable Oakmont, and thanks his past failures for it. "I don't know why this is happening already or happening at this point in my career, but I guess being kind of put in that spot at The Players, I was leading going into the final round of the Sony Open, I finished second at Cognizant, like I've been consistently right there," Spaun told reporters after his first round. "And everyone knows that the more you put yourself there, the better you're going to have results and the better you're going to play, eventually turn one of those close calls into a win. "The Players was sort of a springboard into self-belief because it wasn't like I faked it. Yeah, you can maybe fake it at the Sony and Cognizant or whatever. "But to do that at The Players, a course where I'd never done well historically, and to go head-to-head with Rory on Sunday, and then the playoff was great for my confidence. "Sadly, I didn't win, but it was brilliant for me to lean back on that experience and know that I can perform on the biggest of stages and handle it under pressure. There's going to be a lot of pressure this week, too, and hopefully I can rely on those experiences." However, Xander Schauffele, a two-time major champion, offered a notable caution to Spaun following the American's impressive opening round. Schauffele, who began with a two-over score in Pennsylvania, pointed out that Oakmont could still pose challenges for the 34-year-old, and remarked: "It's Thursday. I just told J.J., incredible round, nice playing. Good luck the rest of the way." Filled with inspiration, Spaun is scheduled to start his second round of the US Open on Friday, with competitors like Thriston Lawrence, Kim Si Woo and Brooks Koepka closely trailing. In contrast, McIlroy, despite a solid start, ended the day at four-over, putting him in a tie for 62nd.

Charles makes 'huge Royal Ascot decision' amid change for Trooping the Colour
With the social event of the summer just around the corner, it appears the King has made his Royal Ascot plans clear with multiple appearances expected at the week-long race event The social event of the season is just around the corner, with royals and horse racing fans alike all busy preparing for Royal Ascot. The days-long summer event begins on Tuesday and will run until next Saturday. While it has been expected that King Charles and Queen Camilla will make at least one appearance at the five-day meeting, it seems that the couple are keen to offer their full support to the event. So much so that is has been reported that they will attend every single day of Royal Ascot, keeping a keen eye on the races from their royal box and taking part in the carriage procession. In years past, Charles has been a regular feature at Royal Ascot, often seen supporting his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth who had a particular love of horses and racing - a love that is also shared by Camilla. As well as his own passion for the races, King Charles has an important role to play at Royal Ascot since becoming King, and he is excited to get stuck into it. A source told The Sun: 'Camilla has been passionate about horse racing for many years but the King has surprised himself by how much he enjoys it. It is an opportunity to catch up with guests and show support for the horse racing industry.' It is believed the King has two horses running at the festival this year, although the full list of runners and riders has yet to be officially confirmed. His horse The King's Falcon could be a smart bet after the three-year-old gelding won at Carlisle just two weeks ago. Royal Ascot week kicks off on Tuesday when the King Charles III Stakes is one of the opening day highlights. The King Charles III Stakes, formerly known as the King's Stand Stakes, is a Group 1 flat horse race open to horses aged three years or older, marking the official beginning of Ascot week. The tradition of Royal Ascot stems back to the early 1700s, with Queen Anne seeing the potential for a racecourse at East Cote, declaring that it looked an ideal place for 'horses to gallop at full stretch' while out riding. Her Majesty's Plate, which was a race open to any horse over the age of six, first took place on August 11th 1711, with Royal Ascot only growing from then. The revelation of King Charles' Ascot appearances comes after it has been reported that Charles will not ride a horse in Trooping the Colour on Saturday. Instead of mounting a horse, like he has done in previous years, it is expected that the monarch will join Camilla in the royal carriage for the procession to and from Buckingham Palace. The decision was made for the King to ride in the carriage for the second year in a row due to the fact that it would be more comfortable and safe for the King following his treatment for cancer. The last time King Charles rode in Trooping the Colour was in 2023, which was the first time a monarch had ridden in the parade since Queen Elizabeth did in 1986. Although Charles will not be on horseback for the procession, Prince William, Princess Anne and Prince Edward will be taking part in the parade on their trusty horses.

Ernie Els' net worth, mansion Rory McIlroy bought and disagreement with star
Ernie Els may have retired from the PGA Tour in 2020, but the golfing legend is still raking in the cash thanks to his hugely successful career on and off the fairways Ernie Els' golf ability was as brilliant as it was aesthetic, particularly when he gracefully stroked his way to two US Open titles in the 1990s. The South African, fondly referred to as 'the Big Easy', clinched the major in 1994 and 1997. The Johannesburg-born golfer's silky playing style and trademark technique led him to victory, with his first triumph coming at Oakmont Country Club, the hosting course for this year's major. Despite his laid-back moniker, Els hasn't taken it easy since leaving the PGA Tour aged 50 in 2020. Rather than hanging up his clubs for good, he transitioned to the PGA Tour Champions, where he continues to play. His continued participation clearly stems from a love of the sport. After all, his substantial net worth indicates he doesn't need additional prize money. Celebrity Net Worth estimates Els' net worth at £62.7million, with a significant portion of this wealth coming from the reported £37m in prize money he earned during his career, which included two US Open titles and two Open victories. He also raked in millions from endorsements, many of which continue to contribute to his fortune. Beyond his playing career, Els invested in a golf course design business that he still operates, as well as a winemaking venture. He has a keen interest in property, with his most notable real estate deal being the $11m (£8m) mansion he sold to Rory McIlroy in 2011. The huge 12,800-square-foot dwelling boasts a luxury outdoor swimming pool, seven bedrooms, 10 bathrooms, its own recording studio, games room and a home cinema. As well as being a ginormous property, it's located in a neighbourhood that has been the home to the likes of Michael Jordan, Serena and Venus Williams, and fellow golf stars Luke Donald and Michelle Wie. The estate's valuation has reportedly soared to a jaw-dropping £16.3m. The immense appreciation of the price might leave Els with a sliver of envy towards McIlroy. It would not be the last time the two-time Open champion took issue with the Northern Irishman. McIlroy recently spoke about his potential retirement and emphatically stated that he has no desire to compete on the PGA Tour Champions senior circuit. In March, when questioned about the senior tour, he dismissed it, saying: "Look, I've said a lot of absolutes in my time that I've walked back [from]. "But I do not envision playing Champions Tour golf. Something has went terribly wrong if I have to compete at golf at 50." McIlroy's attitude towards senior golf struck a chord with Els. Taking to X, he wrote: "Interesting to read @McIlroyRory comments today. At 35 years old I was also bulletproof saying things about not playing past 50. "I'm 55 now and laughing at my comments from back then. @ChampionsTour golf is so fulfilling with a great bunch of players we all grew up together from junior golf. Our sponsors and partners are wonderful companies and people. Competition is a powerful tool!" Els, no stranger to controversy throughout his golfing career, has been in the thick of it on more than one occasion. Yet, not many incidents compare to a contentious and infamous moment at the 1994 US Open. Heading into the final day with a commanding three-shot advantage, Els found himself in trouble after hooking a drive into dense rough during the final round. Upon locating his ball, Els was hindered by a camera crane obstructing his path to the green. An official ruled the crane was an immovable object and allowed Els a free drop, which favourably repositioned him. However, this stroke of luck was marred by the fact that the crane was actually movable, having been repositioned on multiple occasions. The ruling proved vital as Els went on to claim his first US Open title, standing atop the leaderboard at the close of play. This incident was magnified when the official later acknowledged their error, adding another layer of controversy to Els' victory.
