Rory McIlroy eyes Europe for mental reset: 'Need to get in right frame of mind'
OAKMONT, Pa. — Rory McIlroy's goal on Sunday at the U.S. Open was to play his final round in less that four-and-a-half hour and get out of town, and maybe the country as well. On that front, McIlroy accomplished his objective. But the Masters champ once again sounded like an athlete in need of some time off, which will come after he tees it up next week in Hartford for the Travelers Championship. 'I'm looking forward to just getting back to Europe in general,' he said after shooting 67 on Sunday, his best round of the week. 'We've got a lot to look forward to, got our new house in London, play the Scottish and then obviously The Open at Portrush.' After publicly stating a day earlier that he's tired of the media spotlight, he spoke again on Sunday, and once again addressed the difficulties he has had with motivation following the completion of the career grand slam in April at the Masters. 'I just need to get myself in the right frame of mind. I probably haven't been there the last few weeks.' 'Look, I climbed my Everest in April, and I think after you do something like that, you've got to make your way back down, and you've got to look for another mountain to climb. An Open at Portrush is certainly one of those.' After winning the Masters, McIlroy missed the cut at the PGA Championship and appeared distracted when reports were made public that his driver had failed USGA testing. In his next start in Canada, McIlroy had one of the worst performances of his career, shooting 71-78 to miss the cut. McIlroy narrowly made the cut this week at the U.S. Open, but was never in contention over the weekend, eventually finishing at a respectable seven-over par. 'Look, if I can't get motivated to get up for an Open Championship at home, then I don't know what can motivate me,' he said. Next month's Open at Royal Portrush is just an hour away from McIlroy's childhood hometown of Holywood. Irishman Shane Lowry won at Portrush in 2019, when golf's oldest championship returned to Northern Ireland for the first time since 1951. McIlroy missed the cut that week. 'I remember the roar I got when the ball hit the green, and I felt like I was about to burst into tears. Just that support and that love from your own people. So I was unprepared for that. I need to just get myself in the right frame of mind to feel those feelings again.' 'Obviously it will be my first time sort of in public back home after winning the Masters. It should be a really nice week.' McIlroy has sounded like an athlete in need of a reset ever since becoming just the sixth golfer to complete the career grand slam. After not speaking to media post-round for six consecutive major championship rounds, it was natural for the golf world to wonder what was wrong with Rory. After hearing him speak two days in a row at Oakmont he has provided some answers, but questions remain as to why a man who was the toast of the entire golf world just two months ago seems so unsettled now. 'Physically I feel like my game's there,' he said. 'It's just mentally getting myself in the right frame of mind to get the best out of myself.'

Charles Jeffrey Loverboy Spring 2026 Menswear Collection
Studio One at Abbey Road Studios has undoubtedly seen a lot of diva rockstar behavior in its storied history, but perhaps nothing quite the likes of what Charles Jeffrey had going on there yesterday afternoon. There was Francesco Risso dancing around with his head painted gold, someone wielding a soft trumpet made of glitter, and band members playing a set in Charles Jeffrey Loverboy tartan suits, plus Genesis Webb, Lyas, and various models coming and going across the set, all while the designer himself directed proceedings dressed in a white coat and Horrors wig. This was not a fashion show, but a happening with friends of the house—like Marni's Risso, who Jeffrey calls 'a mentor of mine'—although there was an actual sound recording going on as well. 'We're reiterating to the world around us that Loverboy is more than just clothes,' said the eternally shape-shifting Jeffrey, who was last seen as an almost Weimar Republic ringmaster of a queer wrestling match at Dover Street Market in January, and is now manifesting as an early Noughties skinny-jeaned, pointy-shoed indie rocker. In fact, though, the designer's been dabbling in music since fall 2022, when he cut a souvenir vinyl record with his friend Tom Furse of the Horrors. So in a way, yesterday's fashion and music session was a kind of reunion (Furse brought the muses together), or to put it another way, an amplification of the brand's roots in putting on a performance and making a lot of noise about it. The collaboration with Abbey Road Studios, Jeffrey said, took the form of sifting through the extraordinary archives with his team, looking at photos of artists and musicians who made legendary albums and movie soundtracks, beginning in the 1930s and famously taking in the Beatles in the '60s, to the present. Stuff has changed for this major cultural institution, though, what with digital technology meaning kids can create and record music on their laptops. So now, it seems, collaborative links are being forged with new-generation thought-leaders like Jeffrey. He was talking this over 'backstage,' in front of a giant mixing desk. 'Kate Bush mixed her album in here! And the Beatles recorded exactly where we are in Studio One today.' Positioning his brand as music-adjacent is just a commercially useful extension to reach further into the international markets that he's been growing organically, he said, as he ticked off K-Pop fans, rappers in North America, and Japanese 'Anglomania' customers on his fingers. 'I have to expand and put my roots in places that feel authentic. Fashion is an art form that people can create from any inspiration, but it can also indulge in expressing itself in other spaces as well.' But anyway, how did all of that influence this season's looks? 'I was listening to some of the tracks recorded at Abbey Road. I always listen to music when I'm designing,' Jeffrey said. He described it as a form of synesthesia , the condition where sound can be visualized as shapes or colors. Perhaps there was something sound-wavy going on on the giant cable knit mini-dresses, the flared trumpet-y trousers, or the flipped-out curled hem of a gold glitter dress which was perhaps a meeting of a '50s crooner's cocktail dress and a banana? The banana became a CJL emblem and in-joke when he put a pair of banana boots—a tribute to the Scottish comedian Billy Connolly—into his fall 2024 collection. It's been the same with the business in cute animal character beanies, woolly crowns, and sailor caps which Jeffrey started to play with just for fun around 2022. That's now a major category for his brand today, plus the knitwear, which this season includes a souvenir sweater with a big violin on its front. After over 10 years on the scene, these are the riffs that Jeffrey happily keeps playing.

Milos Kerkez's brother shares biggest Liverpool transfer hint yet before critical date
The brother of Liverpool transfer target Milos Kerkez has shared a social media post that states the left-back is 'soon to be' a new player for the club. The Reds are closing in on agreement with Bournemouth ahead of the summer window reopening on Monday morning. Advertisement The ECHO has reported that Liverpool remain confident of striking an agreement for the £45m-rated defender having agreed a £116m fee with Bayer Leverkusen for midfielder Florian Wirtz. It has been a top priority to sign a long-term successor to Andy Robertson, especially now so the 31-year-old Scotland international has emerged as a surprise target for Atletico Madrid. Kerkez has flirted with the idea of a summer transfer to join the Reds through social media, though it is his brother Marko's latest activity that has kicked up a new online storm. READ MORE: Ibrahima Konate true Real Madrid stance emerges amid next Liverpool contract worry READ MORE: Liverpool transfer news LIVE - Florian Wirtz latest, Milos Kerkez update, Andy Robertson reports Advertisement Marko, 24, shared a post to his Instagram story on Sunday. In doing so, he shared the caption that came with said post, which translated to English reads: "Milos Kerkez, soon to be a new Liverpool player, has revealed which club he supports." Milos Kerkez's brother Marko made a post to Instagram -Credit:Instagram: @kerkez_marko The image shows Bournemouth's Kerkez steering a boat, as he is known to currently be away on his summer holidays. Marko, 24, is a full-back for Greek Super League side Aris Thessaloniki and his account is followed by the Cherries defender. As the Reds will be officially able to register new players again when the window reopens on Monday, it remains to be seen how quickly this process plays out. Advertisement Negotiations are being pushed by sporting director Richard Hughes, who has a strong direct relationship with the South Coast club having previously been in the same role with them. Another man close to Kerkez is Liverpool's very own Dominik Szoboszlai, who remained tight-lipped when asked about the possible deal for his Hungary teammate. "I don't know about him... for now," he teased speaking to Nemzeti Sport when pressed for an update. Robertson has also talked on the subject of being replaced, saying: "I think at any big club you always have to keep moving, the club always moves forward and I think you've also seen other big clubs like Manchester City have been very active early doors in the window. Advertisement "The club have identified certain positions where they want to get new blood in, it looks like players we're linked to are all younger players and they are all exciting players as well. "So when you play for a big club like Liverpool you expect challenges, you expect competition and I have always faced that, everyone here has faced that in their own positions and I expect nothing less."
