NEC expect millions: rapid winger set for EFL Championship switch
As per Voetbal International's Sander Janssen, Sontje Hansen is set to transfer to Middlesbrough. The Championship club are 'paying millions' for the 23-year-old NEC winger, which has once again secured a substantial sum of money. VI previously reported that Middlesbrough had long been one of the clubs interested in Hansen. FC Copenhagen and AFC Wrexham also showed interest in the Jong Oranje winger, but Boro have been the most decisive this time. NEC will reportedly receive €3.5 million plus bonuses for Hansen. The income may not end there, as the Nijmegen club have also negotiated a resale percentage. The player's current contract at the Goffertstadion runs until the summer of 2027. Dick Schreuder's side are cashing in on Hansen, who was signed on a free transfer from Ajax in the summer of 2023. The right-footed player played 72 matches for the Gelderland club, scoring 13 goals and providing nine assists. He'll be the second substantial move to England for NEC, after Robin Roefs moved to Sunderland for over 10 million euros. GBeNeFN | Max Bradfield

Hughes on team news and player decisions ahead of Blues' opening game
Mark Hughes has suggested that Carlisle United's recent injury absentees are likely to miss out on the opening game of the season. But the head coach has suggested that sidelined players are not far away from returning to action. Hughes gave a limited update on the injury front two days ahead of Carlisle's first National League game at Woking on Saturday. Asked about players who have missed recent pre-season action, the head coach said: 'Some of them are behind, not to any great extent, only maybe a week behind, but for the most part the squad's fit and healthy, apart from the ones that haven't been available to in the pre-season period. 'There hasn't been any great change from the last couple of weeks, really. 'We're pretty much where we were last week.' Players such as Morgan Feeney and Jordan Jones have not featured at all in pre-season, with others such as Stephen Wearne and Josh Grant having also missed recent games. Asked by the News & Star about Feeney's progress, Hughes said: 'He's one of those that is on track. 'He's working on the pitch now, so that's a positive. Touch wood, he hasn't had any setbacks.' Hughes, asked how far away players such as midfielder Grant were from returning, simply said: 'I'll refer you to my previous answer – about the same. A week better than they were a week ago.' Winger Jones, who is said to have suffered pre-season injuries, has also been the subject of speculation from some fans about his future with the Blues. Former Carlisle United captain Huntington confirms Bradford exit Asked if the 30-year-old remained part of his plans, Hughes replied: 'He's injured at the moment, so that's where he finds himself.' The Blues boss, meanwhile, was giving little away on his intentions regarding United's latest trialist, Harvey Macadam. Trialist Harvey Macadam (Image: Richard Parkes) The Morecambe midfielder played in last weekend's 2-0 victory at Chester. Hughes would not be drawn on any decision when asked if he was still looking at Macadam. Hughes is also yet to confirm who will be Carlisle's captain for the 2025/26 campaign. 'I haven't told the group yet – I'll speak to them first and then you'll know very quickly,' he said. United's boss confirmed he was still looking at midfield as an area to strengthen. He did not rule out making 'a couple' more additions to his squad. Hughes said things were 'pretty quiet' on the incoming front at the moment but added that things can always develop quickly. Asked if any positions had been more difficult than others in terms of recruitment, he said: 'No, not really. I think it's not an exact science, recruitment. You have to wait for the apples to fall from the trees sometimes. 'It's about being patient. We've been able to do good early business, with getting Morgs [Feeney] and Regan [Linney] in fairly early. We're really pleased with that bit of business we did early on. 'So we've reaped the benefit, albeit Morgs hasn't had much luck with the injury that he's had, but he's getting better. 'There have been steady additions to the group and I think I'm more than happy with what we've been able to do. We've brought good players in, players that I think will help us this year. 'That's the reason they're here. It's fair to say we've probably got spaces for one or two, but not too many more than that.' Regan Linney: 'I can't wait to score loads of goals for the fans...' Hughes also said a greater focus over the coming weeks would be on reducing the size of a squad he regards as top-heavy in numbers. Asked if United had found it difficult to move players on at this stage, given the contracts and wages some of the squad were on, he said: 'No, it's just the reality. 'It's easier to acquire players than it is sometimes to move them on, when it's probably better for them to leave or it makes more sense to have those spaces in the squad for the players. 'There's lots of things you have to go through for it to be a win-win for everybody.'

Tiger Woods' 'Shot in the Dark' still resonates at Firestone Country Club 25 years later
Twenty-five years after Tiger Woods' 'Shot in the Dark,' all Hal Sutton remembers are the beams of light. Sutton believes it may have been from cars in the distance as the 2000 World Golf Championships-NEC Invitational was nearing conclusion. One long-time volunteer recalls trucks being pulled into the parking lot at Firestone Country Club for illumination. Behind the 18th green, a light pole stood beside the CBS broadcast tower housing Jim Nantz and Ken Venturi. Network cameras had irises wide open, deceiving viewers of the blackness at 8:25 p.m. After a nearly three-hour rain delay, all were pushing to finish. Woods' playing partner, Sutton, had a plane waiting to take him to Jamaica for a match in 'Shell's Wonderful World of Golf' the next day. Woods battled flu-like symptoms in the final round, his fever breaking on the fourth hole. Woods came to 18 with a 10-stroke lead, so the only thing in doubt was where Sutton would end up on the earnings list. Facing a chip from behind the green that he had to walk off to gauge, Sutton recently said by phone, 'I had never been part of something that dark.' But Woods didn't need to see. Channeling his childhood days playing in the twilight with his father, Woods struck an 8-iron from 167 yards that landed two feet from the pin. After locating the ball, the gallery erupted. To help him sink the birdie putt, fans pulled out cigarette lighters. 'It was just like you were at a concert, wanting to have another encore,' then-tournament director Tom Strong said. Ryan Lewis takes on 'The Monster': The Monster 16th at Firestone South: One hacker's adventure playing a 667-yard par-5 'The cool effect of it all was when the putt was on the way, all the flashbulbs going off. It created for golf a paparazzi moment that you never see in the heat of the battle,' Nantz said. 'There was a long list of jaw-dropping moments in Tiger's career, but this is on the very short list of the ones that defy explanation. That shot. The hole-out at 16 at Augusta in 2005 where the ball hung on the lip. There's a long list of almost ridiculous achievements and accomplishments by Tiger. But this is on that ultra-exclusive special-special list of things you can never explain.' What readers remember: Readers share memories of Tiger Woods' 'Shot in the Dark' at Firestone Country Club in 2000 The 'Shot in the Dark' remains arguably the most iconic moment in the 70-year history of professional golf at Firestone, where Woods has won eight times. Strong, now a retired PGA Tour official living in Wisconsin, puts it in his top three in Akron, with Woods' seven-hole playoff victory over Jim Furyk in the 2001 NEC Invitational his No. 1. Nantz added Jose Maria Olazabal's 12-shot victory in the 1990 NEC World Series of Golf, Greg Norman chipping in from the right of the 18th green to win a 1995 NEC playoff with Nick Price and Billy Mayfair and Jack Nicklaus vs. Lee Elder, who went shot for shot for four playoff holes before Nicklaus won the 1968 American Golf Classic. With Nicklaus rallying from a five-stroke deficit and Frank Beard eliminated earlier in sudden death, that ending has been called one of the most exciting in televised golf history. But for most golf fans, those do not remain talking points. The spot from where Woods hit the 'Shot in the Dark' in the first cut right of the fairway has become a destination. During the June 18 pro-am before the $3.5 million Kaulig Companies Championship, amateurs and caddies took pictures. There are divots from those who have tried recreating Woods' magic. 'Who else could have done that? One of the greatest athletes of the century, an incredible athlete at the peak of his skills doing something absolutely unfathomable,' said Michael Weinreb, a journalist, novelist and screenwriter who pens 'Throwbacks' on Substack. The 'Shot in the Dark' was Weinreb's final article for the Beacon Journal before he left to attend graduate school. 'I distinctly remember that sound of that ball landing on the green, that plunk of the ball,' Weinreb said by phone from his home in Oakland. 'It almost felt like you were alone because it was so dark out. I will never forget that feeling — 'This is something I will remember 25 years from now' — and I do. 'It's one of those moments that gives you chills just thinking about it.' Reader memories: Remembering Tiger Woods' 'Shot in the Dark' at Firestone Country Club in 2000 Woods, 49, has amassed 82 career victories on the PGA Tour, including 15 majors. At the 2000 NEC, he was coming off a playoff victory over Bob May in the PGA Championship, had won the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach by 15 shots and the Open Championship at St. Andrews by 8 strokes. After eight official victories that year, he would complete the 'Tiger Slam' in April with a two-shot triumph at the Masters. Ernie Els was runner-up at two of those, the U.S. and British Opens. 'That's one of those moments that Tiger Woods brought to this place,' Els said June 18 of the 'Shot in the Dark.' 'So many moments just on this venue.' Nantz broadcast tournaments from Akron for 33 years and remains nostalgic for Firestone, which last hosted a PGA Tour event in 2018. His memories of the 'Shot in the Dark' are more vivid than his sight was that night. 'I could not make out anyone back in the fairway,' Nantz said by phone from his home at Pebble Beach. 'It was that almost boomerang-shaped green and that back hole location is extremely narrow. I never could follow the ball in flight. I remember this thing coming in and once it landed, it was just jaw-dropping. I could still barely make out the golf ball. It was as if he had GPS'd the shot and struck it with his eyes closed because that's basically what it felt like in person.' Sutton, 67, living in Columbus, Texas, in retirement, won 14 times on the PGA Tour. He admitted he initially wasn't wild about the rush to the clubhouse. Strong recalled the rules officials wanting to stop at 16 before getting word the final group wanted to finish. 'He had a [big] lead on me. Who knows what I could have made in the dark,' Sutton said by phone from his hometown of Shreveport, La., where he was visiting his father. 'He wanted to go play and I was like, 'Uh, I'm the only one who could lose anything here. He can't play that bad on the hole.' 'We agreed and he makes birdie, and I made par. It all worked out fine and it was part of history.' Sutton nearly holed his chip, easing his anxiety. Always naming Firestone among his favorites because 'it's a great ball-strikers course,' Sutton found consolation in his one-shot victory over Woods in the 2000 Players Championship at TPC Sawgrass. Sutton counts that among his career highlights, along with beating Nicklaus in the 1983 PGA Championship at Riviera Country Club. When it was suggested that Woods won basically everything in 2000, Sutton said, 'Except TPC. So I was with him at two iconic moments of that year. Kind of fun to recall both of those moments, really. One I was the winner and one he trounced us all.' Sutton said he was never bothered by the massive galleries that followed Woods. 'That's what we dealt with every week. They were wanting to see history,' Sutton said. 'They thought Tiger was going to break all of Jack's records. 'The crowd to me was always like a frame to a picture. Actually, the crowd makes it easier in a way because it frames where you're trying to go.' Woods has not competed since July 2024 due to multiple surgeries, many after a horrific single-car accident in 2021 in Los Angeles. He turns 50 on Dec. 30, making him eligible for the PGA Tour Champions, which allows players to ride in carts. 'When he gets in a cart, he'll tear it up, absolutely,' Nicklaus said last month at the Memorial Tournament, per Golfweek. 'He'll win better than 50 percent of the tournaments he plays in, I think. You all know how good a player he is but, I mean, his work ethic is so good.' Els has been Woods' victim several times and watched his legendary shots, many at Firestone. Count Els among those who hope Woods can return to the Akron course he once dominated. 'He's just an amazing, phenomenal player,' Els said. 'Hopefully we'll see him out here next year or the year after that.'
