Bale Says 100 Pct Sure Cannot Make It As Pro Golfer
LONDON, July 28 (Bernama-PA Media/dpa) -- Gareth Bale admitted he was '100 per cent sure' that he could not become a professional golfer, PA Media/dpa reported. The former Real Madrid and Wales star is well known for his love of golf, and has cut his handicap from 'three or four' to just 0.1 since retiring from football in January 2023. That has led to suggestions that Bale — who has played on the PGA Tour at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, where footage of him making a brilliant chip from a cart path went viral — could try and make it as a professional golfer, despite having turned 36 earlier this month.

Coach vows to fix mental game after King's Cup sepak takraw defeat
KUALA LUMPUR: National sepak takraw coach Ahmad Jais Baharun has voiced his disappointment over his players' timid performance in the men's team regu final at the Thai King's Cup in Songkhla on Sunday. Ahmad Jais said his players lacked belief and failed to take advantage of their opportunities, allowing Thailand to dictate the pace of the match. "The players did not perform up to expectations in the final. They didn't capitalise when they took the lead, which allowed the Thais to catch up and pile on the pressure. "That's something we'll need to fix ahead of the SEA Games at the end of the year," he told Bernama. Malaysia were beaten 2-0 by arch-rivals Thailand in the final. The first regu of Noraizat Nordin, Haziq Hairul Nizam and Norfaizzul Razak lost 15-12, 15-12 to the Thai trio led by Pornthep Tinbangbon. The second regu of Syahir Rosdi, Azlan Alias and Farhan Adam also failed to extend the contest, falling 17-16, 15-4 to Siriwat Sakha, Thawisak Thongsai and Rachan Viphan. The defeat means Malaysia's 34-year wait for a win in the team regu event continues, their last triumph coming at the 1991 SEA Games in Manila. Ahmad Jais, however, is not hitting the panic button, noting that the team had limited preparation for the Thai King's Cup. He now plans to devise a better strategy for the SEA Games, which will be held in Thailand from Dec 9-20. "We only had a week to prepare the team for this tournament. That said, I don't want to use that as an excuse for the underwhelming performance. "We'll carry out a full post-mortem as we prepare for the SEA Games," he said. - BERNAMA

Shoulder injury forces Pandelela, Yiat Qing to exit synchro event at world meet
Malaysia's Pandelela Pamg in action in this file photo taken during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. – AFP photo SINGAPORE (July 28): A left shoulder injury sustained by national diving queen Datuk Pandelela Rinong forced her and Lee Yiat Qing to withdraw from the women's 10-metre synchronised event at the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore today. They completed two of the five dives with a total of 87 points before an announcement was made regarding their withdrawal during the preliminaries at the OCBC Aquatic Centre. Pandelela said the injury, sustained earlier this month but still manageable under physiotherapy, was triggered during the warm-up session. 'Therefore, after two dives, we decided to withdraw for safety reasons. I would like to thank you, especially those who came to the venue to support us,' she posted on Facebook. In the morning session, Nurqayyum Nazmi Mohamad Nazim and Yong Rui Jie failed to advance to the finals in the men's 3m synchronised springboard event after finishing outside the top eight. The duo finished in 21st place with 302.76 points in the 26-team preliminaries. Meanwhile, national swimmer Khiew Hoe Yean failed to advance to the semi-finals of the men's 200m freestyle event after clocking 1 minute 48.10 seconds at the World Aquatics Championships Arena. He finished fourth in Heat Three and 31st overall out of 59 swimmers. SEA Games gold medallist Phee Jinq En did not start in the women's 100m breaststroke event due to a hip and groin issue. Malaysia's national swimming head coach Eric Anderson said Jing En opted out of the event, in hopes of better preparing for the 50m breaststroke scheduled for Aug 2. 'The team flew here straight from the World University Games in Berlin, which is hardly ideal preparation. It was our main target event where we aimed to peak there,' he told Bernama when contacted. – Bernama Lee Yiat Qing pandelela rinong sports World Aquatics Championships
