Matt Fitzpatrick one shot behind Open leader Scottie Scheffler at halfway stage
Matt Fitzpatrick's impressive 66 put him in an excellent position to end a 33-year wait for an English winner of The Open, but he will have to get past the daunting figure of world number one Scottie Scheffler if he is to end the drought. Just minutes after the 2022 US Open champion returned to the top of a major leaderboard, having posted a nine-under-par total at Royal Portrush, his American rival reeled off back-to-back birdies at 16 and 17 to snatch the lead from the Sheffield golfer's grasp. May's US PGA winner looked in ominous form in getting to 10 under – his round of 64 included eight birdies, a missed putt at the last for another and just one bogey – and he looked as unruffled as ever, even as the heaviest rain of the week drenched the links for a good 45 minutes. The last world number one to lead or share the lead after 36 holes of an Open was Tiger Woods in 2006. He went on to win and on this evidence you would not back against the bookies' favourite to claim his first Claret Jug and the third leg of a career Grand Slam. But, if Fitzpatrick can maintain his rediscovered form, he may just have a chance. Starting at four under, as one of the first-day co-leaders, he was the first to reach double figures following four successive birdies, having turned in a two-under 34. His round exploded into life on the back nine and, when he hit a brilliant approach at the short 13th to six feet for a fourth birdie in a row, he was 10 under and two clear. He gave a shot back at the 14th and missed the chance to restore his two-shot cushion with an inexplicable miss from three feet at the 17th but redeemed himself with a superb 23ft par save on the last, only for Scheffler to come charging past him. 'I'm giving myself an opportunity to win the golf tournament, but there's still a hell of a long way to go,' said the 30-year-old Yorkshireman, who will play alongside Scheffler in Saturday's final group. 'Obviously the aim of the game is to stay in it for as long as possible and hopefully you can pull away right at the death. I'm 50 per cent there. 'I wouldn't say I necessarily feel as much pressure (as Scheffler). He's going to have the expectation to go out and dominate. 'He's an exceptional player. He's world number one and we're seeing Tiger-like stuff. I think the pressure is for him to win the golf tournament.'

Ten Hag suffers ultimate embarrassment in first match as Bayer Leverkusen lose 5-1 to U20s – despite being 1/100 to win
MANCHESTER UNITED flop Erik ten Hag picked up where he left off as his first match as Bayer Leverkusen boss ended in a massive defeat to a YOUTH side. The Dutch gaffer was sacked by United in October after winning just three of his opening nine league matches, with a defeat to West Ham being the final straw. 2 2 Ten Hag returned to the beautiful game in May when he was announced as Xabi Alonso's successor at Leverkusen. But the manager's first game at the helm of the German giants ended in disaster – despite being 1/100 to win. Leverkusen travelled all the way to Brazil for Ten Hag's debut, with Leverkusen going up against Flamengo. However, it was their U20s side and not the seniors on the field. But that didn't stop the Samba kids from tearing Leverkusen apart in a 5-1 thrashing. Ten Hag named senior stars including Mark Flekken, Jonas Hoffman and Victor Boniface in his starting XI while sticking with predecessor Alonso's title-winning 3-4-2-1 formation. And he could only watch with a grimace as Flamengo took a second-minute lead before doubling the score in the 10th. Ten Hag ended up taking Flekken and Boniface off in the 36th minute. But Flamengo put their foot on the gas and netted a third moments later before making it 4-0 seconds before the half-time whistle. Ten Hag didn't make a single further sub at the break. And he paid for his reluctance when Flamengo netted a fifth less than 10 minutes into the second half.
