US Open level-par round 'up there' among MacIntyre's best
Robert MacIntyre says his level-par score on the first day of the US Open is "up there" with the best rounds of his star names Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau and Justin Rose all foundered on the notoriously difficult Oakmont course in Pittsburgh, the 28-year-old Scot's 70 has him in a strong position after Thursday's opening believes that replicating that scoring over the next three days will mean he is walking away as champion on Sunday night."I'm delighted with that," he said. "That was superb. That's up there. "I mean, it's in the top 10 of rounds that I've played. It's just so hard. Honestly, it's just every shot is like you're on a knife edge."But, overall, honestly, I don't know if it's good or bad to say after a level-par, but that's almost as good as I've got."American JJ Spaun set the pace with an early four-under par round, but MacIntyre is not expecting many to match such an "incredible" score over the next three days."I know that it will get tougher, but a level-par round today, if you shoot four level-par rounds, you're walking away with a medal and a trophy- I'm sure I'll take that," he could have been in an even better position had he not bogeyed the 18th, but his consistency from the tee underpinned his excellent start."I played absolutely beautifully, to be honest, off the tee, because that's where the real punishment is and that's as good as I can drive the golf ball," he said."I wasn't really hitting long drives. I wasn't trying to hit long drives."I was just trying to stay in the short stuff and manufacturing shots, whether it was 3-wood, whether it was driver, just try to hit the shape that I needed to find the fairway."I've never played a golf course as hard - the most demanding I have ever played and I've played Royal Lytham."

June 12 - Longtime U.S. midfielder Michael Bradley was named the head coach of MLS NEXT Pro side New York Red Bulls II on Thursday. It is the first head coaching position for Bradley, 37, who worked on his father Bob Bradley's coaching staff with the Norwegian club Stabaek from 2023-24. Bradley will replace Ibrahim Sekagya, who was promoted Wednesday to a spot as an assistant coach for the Red Bulls' first team in MLS. It is a homecoming of sorts for Michael Bradley, who began his professional career in 2004 with the MetroStars, a forerunner of the current New York Red Bulls of MLS. "I couldn't be more excited to come back to where my professional playing career began," Bradley said. "This is a dream opportunity as a young coach. I'm looking forward to working every day with this talented group of players, and I'll give everything to help them take the next step in their careers. "I'm thankful to the club for the opportunity and can't wait to get started." Bradley played with Toronto FC in MLS from 2014-23, recording 16 goals in 258 matches and earning three All-Star nods. He earned 151 caps with the U.S. men's national team from 2006-19, scoring 17 goals and participating in the 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cups. He was the U.S. Soccer Player of the Year in 2015. Bradley's first match as head coach of Red Bulls II will be on June 21 against Carolina Core FC in High Point, N.C. "We are excited to welcome Michael to the club," said New York Red Bulls sporting director Julian de Guzman. "He had an incredible playing career and is one of the greatest American soccer players ever. "We see him as a promising coaching talent and look forward to supporting his development as he transitions to a career behind the touchline." --Field Level Media

Man Utd transfer news LIVE: Hugo Ekitike contact MADE, £62m Cunha ANNOUNCED, Gyokeres statement
MANCHESTER UNITED are in for a crucial summer of transfers at Old Trafford. Matheus Cunha is already through the door after the completion of his stunning £62m move from Wolves. And he could be joined by Eintracht Frankfurt frontman Hugo Ekitike, with United reportedly making contact to register their interest. 5 minutes ago By Ian Tuckey Chelsea 'refuse to meet Ekitike valuation' Huge Ekitike has leapt to the front of striking speculation in the Prem tonight. And it's claimed Chelsea as well as Liverpool have already put in bids for the Manchester United target. But Eintracht Frankfurt are said to have rebuffed the Blues' offer for the 22-year-old. Chelsea did, however, beat United to the signature of Ipswich's Liam Delap. And France U-21 star Ekitike might reckon Old Trafford is his best chance of rapid development in the Prem. By Ian Tuckey Cunha reveals grand design behind Red Devils' move Matheus Cunha offered a slightly new twist on players who insist they always wanted to play for their new clubs. The Red Devils' recruit from Wolves claims it all started at his GRANDMOTHER'S HOUSE. Cunha said: 'It is hard to put into words my feelings about becoming a Manchester United player. Ever since I was a child in Brazil watching Premier League games on TV at my grandmother's house, United was my favourite English team and I dreamed of wearing the red shirt. 'I want to thank my family and everyone who has helped me make that dream a reality. 'I can't wait for the start of pre-season to get to know my team-mates and prepare for the season ahead. All my focus is now on working hard to become a valuable part of the team, and helping get this club back to the top.' 23 minutes ago By Ian Tuckey Man Hu-nited? Manchester United's interest in Hugo Ekitike is looking serious. Sky Germany say the Red Devils have contacted Eintracht Frankfurt to "register" their keenness for the Frenchman. The former PSG fringe player, 22, has five Under-21 caps. Other Prem clubs are also big admirers of Ekitike. But he's understood to have rejected Newcastle back in 2022.
