‘If Ireland are ever going to qualify for a major tournament again…'
Evan Ferguson can't stop scoring for his new club Roma in pre-season - and if he can bring that form into the new Serie A campaign, Ireland's World Cup prospects will suddenly look much brighter. That's the verdict of former Boys in Green striker Clinton Morrison, who has been impressed by the way the on-loan Brighton man has taken to life in Italy so far. Ferguson has scored six goals in just three friendlies, including a four-goal haul in his first appearance, which came against Serie D opposition. His latest strike was a classy finish into the bottom right-hand corner of the net to wrap up a 3-0 win against French side Cannes. According to Morrison, the move came at just the right time. 'He is at a stage in his career now where he needs to go and play football. At Brighton, he had a few injuries, and they're looking down a different route,' he said, speaking with Free Bets. 'They don't see him as the main number nine, which I don't agree with. I still think he's an exceptional player. 'He went to West Ham and didn't really get the opportunity to play as much as I thought he should have. 'So the move to Roma is fantastic for him—and for Ireland—especially with the World Cup qualifiers coming up. 'If Ireland are ever going to qualify for a major tournament again, we need Evan Ferguson fit, firing, and scoring goals. 'He's an exceptional young player, and you don't want him falling off the radar. This is a fantastic move.' It can be hard at times to remember that Ferguson is still just 20, given how long he has been in the spotlight. 'People think he's like 25 or 26, but it's because he came onto the scene so young,' Morrison said. 'He's got presence, he's good with his back to goal, he can link play, and he can score goals. So yeah, at 20 years of age, he's got loads of time. 'I just think going to Roma will be good. It's a culture shock, a different environment, but I think it'll be fantastic for him. 'You can go one way or the other in those situations, but I think he'll go up. 'Look at Scott McTominay and Billy Gilmour—they've gone abroad and hit the ground running. I think Ferguson can do the same. Italians love goal scorers, and he'll definitely be a good one.' By the time the World Cup comes around next summer, it will be 24 years since Ireland's last appearance at the biggest tournament in football. And while there have been a couple of Euro qualifications - in 2012 and 2016 - Morrison is desperate to see the country back on the biggest stage of all. He was a member of the squad in 2002, when Robbie Keane's goals helped fire Ireland to a place in the last-16, where they lost on penalties to Spain. 'There'll be pressure on Ferguson, but if we've got a fit and hungry Evan Ferguson, we've got a real chance,' he said. 'And I want to see Ireland in a major tournament again.'

Frustrating start for Woad at Women's Open
Lottie Woad endured a frustrating start to the AIG Women's Open as Japan's Eri Okayama and Rio Takeda topped the first-round leaderboard at a sunny Royal Porthcawl on Thursday. An astonishing July, which culminated in Woad winning the Scottish Open in her first event as a professional, had made the 21-year-old favourite for the year's final major. But the former Florida State University player found the going tough on the south Wales coast as she ground out a level-par round of 72 thanks to a birdie at the last. Okayama's five-under 67 gave her the lead before she was joined by Takeda after she birdied the 18th. Japanese players dominated the opening day with Miyu Yamashita at four-under ahead of a large group on three-under that included Chevron Championship winner Mao Saigo, Shiho Kuwaki and Chisato Iwai. Reigning champion Lydia Ko of New Zealand and world number one Nelly Korda, like Woad, failed to take advantage of relatively calm conditions. Ko finished on one over, while American Korda was two-under par. World number 139 Okayama bogeyed her opening hole but birdied five of the next eight and was rock solid on the way back with another birdie at the 17th moving her ahead. Ireland's Leona Maguire and Lauren Walsh ended the day with level-par 72 but an error strewn back nine saw Anna Foster shoot a four-over-round of 76. Reuters
