Mimi Rhodes makes unusual hole-in-one at Women's Open
England's Mimi Rhodes found an unusual way to score low on a tough day by sinking a remarkable hole-in-one in her final round at the AIG Women's Open. High winds made for difficult conditions at Royal Porthcawl on Sunday but, with a fortuitous ricochet off her playing partner's ball, Rhodes aced the par-three fifth. Rhodes, who began six shots off the overnight lead of nine under held by Miyu Yamashita, had the benefit of following Stephanie Kyriacou off the tee. The Australian went close to a hole-in-one herself with a shot that hit the green and came to rest inches from the cup. Rhodes then played a very similar shot and, luckily for her, Kyriacou's ball was handily placed for it to deflect in off. Kyriacou was still able to hole her short putt for a deserved birdie. Meanwhile, Yamashita birdied the fourth to open up a three-shot lead as nearest challenger Kim A-lim dropped back to seven under following back-to-back bogeys. Rhodes' compatriot Charley Hull then cut the gap to two with consecutive birdies at the fifth and sixth.

Controversial parking scheme to restart as massive week looms for Everton
Moving home is always a complicated affair. You have to box up all your things, move all those treasured memories to your new location and settle in. There's also the small matter of finding somewhere to park. It's unusual, you're used to having your normal spot and, all of a sudden, you have to look all over again. Since leaving Goodison Park after 133 years in May, this has been the case for Everton as they prepare to call the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Regent Road their new home for decades to come. Next weekend, the ground will operate at full capacity for the first time when the men's first team play their inaugural official match against AS Roma. With this will come around 52,000 fans making their way by any means necessary to the stadium. While some matchday traditions will change, many supporters will still look to hop in their car on the way to watch the Blues. READ MORE: Boys, 15 and 16, arrested after police officers attacked READ MORE: Man, 22, stabbed in park However, from Monday, a raft of changes to the controversial parking scheme surrounding the footprint of Bramley-Moore Dock are to be reintroduced after being paused earlier this year. The parking zone was halted following a backlash from businesses and residents over the impact of the scheme. Under the scheme, more than 4,000 residents and 3,000 businesses have been asked to apply for the relevant parking permits to comply with what is called an Experimental Traffic Order (ETRO). The ETRO will run for an initial 18 month period. The city council has released a new map outlining the designations for nine locations within the catchment area. After consultation with representatives from those living and working around the Hill Dickinson Stadium footprint, the city council has confirmed it has changed the operation of the parking zone in time for the final test event next month. This includes the introduction of non-event day parking restrictions and extending waiting limits to up to four hours when Everton are not playing. Around Esk Street, Juniper Street and Blackstone Street, event day restrictions will remain in place, requiring drivers to leave within two hours. Around Walter Street, Ten Streets and Love Lane, permit parking will be required as these have been designated as business locations. Up to four hours' parking will be permitted on non-event days. Some business owners warned the original measures could lead to closures, prompting dozens to protest at Blackstock Market in March and urge the council to reconsider. Following consultation during the pausing of the scheme since then, the city council has said additional parking bays will be introduced to support businesses and community venues. Blue badge parking bays will also be installed on Regent Road. An event day will typically be any sporting or non-sporting event at the new stadium with 10,000 or more attendees. The council's traffic manager can also apply event day rules for events at the stadium with fewer than 10,000 attendees or those taking place at other locations like Goodison Park, Anfield or the city centre, where there is a need to manage parking. The dates of upcoming events will be displayed on signs next to the parking bays and at the entry points to Permit Parking Areas. Letters detailing the full scheme and parking permit application guidance have now been delivered to all addresses within the ETRO boundary. Applications for more than 10 business permits will continue to be accepted on a case-by-case basis. The council will continue to review the ETRO for the next six months to allow for any further modifications. Following that review period, officials will then consider making the traffic order permanent. Business owners told the ECHO last month how the changes to the scheme were an 'improvement but not enough'. Henry Cookey runs HC:Fit Ninja Training on Birchall Street and offered his view on the amendments. He said: 'It's good to hear they're not putting the blanket ban in, that's improved. 'It's also good that parking permits are not restricted to individual cars so you can pass them between cars but it's still not enough. I hold events where I have 50 to 80 people coming and stay between six to eight hours so four hours does nothing for me.' Mr Cookey said workarounds could be found on matchdays but he would have to pay for five parking permits for his staff. He said: 'In my opinion, permits should be free, they should be registered to the business and I also believe customers should not have to stress about parking.' Cllr Dan Barrington, cabinet member for transport and connectivity, said: 'We understand that traffic and parking arrangements can significantly affect daily routines and operations and we've been fully committed to working with residents and businesses to make this process as smooth and fair as possible. These refinements reflect the invaluable input we've received from residents and businesses and we'll continue to listen, monitor and review the scheme to establish if any further modifications will be needed. 'Our goal is to strike the right balance between matchday operations and everyday life in the neighbourhood. I would like to thank the local community for its ongoing cooperation as we finalise arrangements for safe, efficient matchday traffic management.'

One-match ban leaves England's Packer available for Women's Rugby World Cup opener
LONDON (AP) — Flanker Marlie Packer will be available for England's opening match in the Women's Rugby World Cup after she received a one-match ban on Sunday. Stand-in captain Packer was sent off on Saturday during a 97-7 win over Spain in a World Cup warmup in Leicester. In a ruck clearout, her shoulder targeted and bent the leg of fullback Claudia Pena. Packer didn't accept it was a red card offense at her disciplinary hearing but the panel disagreed and considered the foul play reckless. She will miss England's final warmup against France next Saturday. England opens the World Cup against the United States on Aug. 22 in Sunderland. ___ AP rugby:
