England's John Parry makes the first hole-in-one at this year's British Open
English golfer John Parry hit an 8-iron at the 192-yard No. 13 that landed at the front of the green, took a couple of bounces and hopped straight into the cup.
There were big celebrations on the tee, with Parry congratulated by playing partner Justin Leonard, the 1997 Open champion.
'The atmosphere was absolutely amazing,' Parry said after shooting a 4-under 67 in the third round to be 3 under for the tournament.
The 38-year-old Parry guessed it was 'about' the 10th hole-in-one of his career.
'Definitely the best one, 100 per cent,' he said.
Parry is making his second appearance at a British Open, after St. Andrews in 2022.

King and Queen congratulate Lionesses as they reach Euro 2025 final
The King and Queen have sent the England Women's team their 'warmest congratulations' after they made it to the final of Euro 2025. The Lionesses beat Italy 2-1 in Geneva on Tuesday evening. Charles said in a statement: 'My wife and I join all our family in wishing you, the proud Lionesses, our warmest congratulations on reaching the final of the Uefa Euro tournament. A message from The King to Sarina Wiegman, the mighty @Lionesses and all in their support team, following their success in this evening's Women's Euros semi-final.#WEURO2025 — The Royal Family (@RoyalFamily) July 22, 2025 'Your journey to this stage has been nothing short of remarkable, showcasing the skill, determination (and test of nerve!) for which your team is so rightly celebrated. ADVERTISEMENT 'Knowing the Lionesses' fighting spirit, I suspect we are in for another thrilling encounter on Sunday. 'Your achievements continue to inspire countless girls and women across the nation, proving once again that with dedication and teamwork, anything is possible. 'Good luck, England. May you roar to victory once more. Charles R.' England, in their sixth straight appearance in the final four of a major tournament, were on the brink of elimination when 19-year-old Michelle Agyemang came off the bench and rescued Sarina Wiegman's side with a second-half stoppage-time equaliser. England were given a penalty late in the second period of extra time and, though Chloe Kelly's initial attempt was saved, the Arsenal forward made no mistake when she buried the rebound.

Liverpool Legends Face Chelsea Legends in Charity Clash at Anfield
Liverpool Legends vs Chelsea Legends: Rivalry Reignited at Anfield Football's Past Meets Present Purpose There are fixtures that live long in the memory, and then there are the ones that rewrite what memory means. When Liverpool Legends host Chelsea Legends at Anfield this weekend, it will not merely be a stroll down memory lane—it will be a celebration of legacy, a rekindling of rivalry, and a statement of enduring purpose. Advertisement Presented by Liverpool's official training partner AXA, the annual charity fixture raises crucial funds for the LFC Foundation. Across the touchline, Chelsea's involvement carries the same spirit, with proceeds supporting both the Chelsea Foundation and the Chelsea Players' Trust—an organisation dedicated to the welfare of the names that built Stamford Bridge's modern identity. This year's meeting marks two decades since the 2004/05 season—the genesis of a new kind of animosity between Liverpool and Chelsea. Five encounters across league and Europe, most famously the Champions League semi-final that bore the still-disputed 'ghost goal' from Luis Garcia, helped define a generation. Familiar Faces, Fierce Pride Sir Kenny Dalglish will marshal the Liverpool Legends, with Roberto Di Matteo leading the Chelsea counterparts. These are not ceremonial roles—they are tributes to eras where both men forged reputations as figureheads of their clubs. Advertisement Confirmed in the Liverpool Legends ranks are Steven Gerrard, Sami Hyypia, Ryan Babel, Martin Skrtel and Jerzy Dudek. On the Chelsea Legends side, Gianfranco Zola, Claude Makelele, Eidur Gudjohnsen, John Mikel Obi, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Carlo Cudicini will suit up once more. Photo: IMAGO And this year, history will be made with Natasha Dowie and Katie Chapman becoming the first women to feature in this celebrated exhibition—proof that legacy is not a closed chapter, but a living story. How to Watch and When Kick-off is set for 3pm GMT on Saturday, 22 March 2025 at Anfield. While the game won't be shown on UK television, fans can watch live via LFCTV for subscribers, or through Chelsea's official website and app, with a match pass available for £5.99.
