Bryson DeChambeau tells all about powerful note USA Ryder Cup captain put in his locker at The Open

Bullish Bryson DeChambeau fired a blistering Ryder Cup warning as he revealed personal notes of inspiration left by skipper Keegan Bradley inside lockers at The Open.

The American ace finally cracked some of The Championship code with a superb closing 64 to race into a Top 10 finish.

DeChambeau was superb over the final three days as he banished the misery of an opening 78 to charge through the pack and prove he can do on the links.

The LIV star has not been able to add to his two majors this year, but the Bethpage battle against Europe offers the chance of a magical ending.
DeChambeau's Portrush performance has fully punched his ticket into the home side for New York and he has warned Luke Donald's team to fear the worst.
Captain Bradley has been pumping up his troops and was at it again in Northern Ireland as he team star revealed: 'I talked with him briefly and then he put something in our lockers that was pretty inspirational.

'It's a personal message. In essence, yes. For sure. It meant a lot. This year's no joke. We're tired of it. We're tired of losing.
'I hope I can bring a lot of energy and a tsunami of a crowd that's going to be rooting for Team USA.'
DeChambeau was asked about the rumour President Donald Trump, a mate of his, would be at Bethpage to cheer him along, but he smiled: 'I don't know. I think he's got bigger problems on his hands right now!'

DeChambeau's LIV experiences will aid as he continued: 'We have the most wins on tour right now as the Crushers. The way I've personally led my team is I've let them be their individual self, their best individual self to add to the team. That's it. Don't try to put someone in a bubble and say you need to do this, you need to do that.
'What I learned best from my college coach, Josh Gregory, was just that, let me be me, which was amazing. I've let them be them. That's the way I'll move forward in team competition.'

DeChambeau's final 54 holes at Portrush were sensational, which brought a few fan jibes about a LIV event.
His punch of the air as he completed the last three days in 16-under par said much about conquering the Open challenge.
DeChambeau turned his week around superbly after a harrowing day one and said: 'Normally I'd be super pissed and frustrated, which I was rightfully so, because I thought I played pretty well and shot seven-over. I said to myself: I'm going to do something different this time.

'I've been working on myself and how I am and how I act and whatnot. I'm going to transition my brain to say: I'm going to give it everything I have no matter what happens. I'm going to go full force, attack .
'That's what I did for the past three days, I said, every time is go time, like you've got to come back from five, six back. That's the mentality I had.
'I said I'm going to give myself a chance. I'm not going to pout. I'm going to be free. I always told you guys I like it when it's fair conditions. I can play well. I still have to crack the code when it's raining and windy. But I feel like we're getting close to some opportunities and solutions for that.

'I was really proud of the way I turned it around and gave myself actually some hope on the third round.'
DeChambeau received a rapturous reception down the 72nd hole and he beamed: 'I think I look at the game a little bit different than others. I want to win. I think we all know that. But there's more than winning.
'There's how you influence a younger population, how you showcase yourself and what you do for others, what value do you give them. The only reason we're getting paid the numbers we're getting paid is because of those individuals out there in the stands.

'Once I started realising that, I started changing my mindset so they see me more in the light that I'm trying to showcase this great game.
'I hope that I can add to the game of golf from outside. YouTube, content, entertainment. It's going to be a cool give-back sort of thing.
'That's the stuff that excites me now. Not more than tournament golf, but almost as much. I think having another identity with that saying: Hey, look, I'm not just a professional, but I'm an entertainer as well has shown people the true side of myself.

'It's a great Open venue. I think it was a solid setup. It would be a lot of fun to come back. It's a great town.'
DeChambeau's persona is very different to Scheffler and he said: 'Scottie's in a league of his own right now. I played with him a lot in college and he was not that good, so he's figured out a lot of stuff since then. It's really impressive to see and something we can all learn from for sure.
'I think he's a family man. He really respects his family and he wants that to be the most important thing for him. I have full respect for that. At some point I will have a family.
'For him, I think it's more important to take care of his family, which he's done a great job and tremendous job of balancing the two, being the best golfer in the world and being a family man.'

Tommy Brooks dead at 71: Legendary boxing coach who trained Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield dies after battle with cancer

Mike Tyson 's legendary former boxing coach, Tommy Brooks, has died aged 71 following a battle with cancer. Brooks was a national champion as an amateur and had a respectable 7-3 record as a pro but became better known for his work as a trainer. He coached former heavyweight stars Evander Holyfield and Tyson and Lou DiBella, the famous promoter, confirmed the sad news on Tuesday. He wrote on X: 'Got more bad news a little while ago. It was just confirmed by his family that esteemed #boxing trainer Tommy Brooks died tonight, after having fought a very aggressive cancer. 'Too young. Great boxing man and even better person, he was just a solid dude. 'Shared many memorable nights with Tommy and his wife, Donna Duva, during the glory days of Main Events. 'My love and prayers to Donna and all their fam. This is now a real tough stretch of losing real #boxing people. It's getting to me.' Brooks was Holyfield's coach during the 90s and 2000s, also working with Iron Mike during the 2000s. Ironically, it had been him who helped Holyfield beat Tyson in their infamous couple of encounters before helping the defeated fighter come back. Tyson and Brooks split in 2002 following the powerful American heavyweight's defeat by British star Lennox Lewis. Holyfield and Tyson weren't the only big names on Brooks' coaching CV. He also spent time with both Wladimir and Vitali Klitschko, working alongside the iconic Ukrainian brothers. Brooks will be remembered for his brilliant technical and psychological expertise during one of heavyweight boxing's most colourful eras.

Benjamin Sesko next club odds: Man Utd move ahead of Newcastle in transfer battle

MANCHESTER UNITED are now considered favourites to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko. According to talkSPORT BET, Ruben Amorim's side are priced at 1/2 to secure the Slovenian's signature before the transfer window closes on 1 September. Benjamin Sesko next club odds talkSPORT BET odds Manchester United - 1/2 Newcastle - 6/4 Arsenal - 20/1 Chelsea - 20/1 Liverpool - 25/1 PSG - 25/1 Barcelona - 25/1 Manchester City - 25/1 Think you know where Benjamin Sesko will be playing next season?

The rest of the field trails some distance behind, with London duo Arsenal and Chelsea both priced at 20/1. Liverpool, PSG, Barcelona and Manchester City are all available at 25/1. United's odds have shortened following reports from The Athletic suggesting the club have decided to 'prioritise' Sesko should they move for a striker. The Old Trafford side have already signed attacking duo Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo for a combined £127.5 million. But another addition in the final third isn't off the table - particularly amid claims that United have made informal contact with Leipzig in recent days. Newcastle are also targeting the 22-year-old as their top candidate to replace Alexander Isak, who is reportedly exploring a move away from St James' Park, with Liverpool currently in the driving seat. However, any potential suitor will need to stump up a significant fee. Sesko's current contract runs until June 2029, and it's understood that an offer in the region of £69–78 million would be required to persuade Leipzig to sell. *18+ New Customers Only.

Grizzlies, Magic to meet in Berlin, London in January

July 30 - The Memphis Grizzlies and Orlando Magic will meet for two regular-season games in Europe this winter, the NBA announced Wednesday. They will square off at the Uber Arena in Berlin on Jan. 15 and at The O2 in London on Jan. 18. The game in Berlin will mark the first NBA regular-season game ever played in Germany. The contest in London will be the 10th regular-season contest in England's capital city. The league also announced that regular-season games will be played in Manchester, England, and Paris in 2027, and in Berlin and Paris in 2028. Dates and participating teams will be announced at a later date. "Announcing the next three season's regular-season games in Europe reflects the incredible momentum and appetite for NBA basketball in France, Germany, the UK and across the region," said George Aivazoglou, the NBA's managing director for Europe and the Middle East. "We look forward to welcoming the Grizzlies and the Magic to Berlin and London and to engaging fans, players and the local communities through the games and the surrounding events." The Grizzlies will be playing their fifth and six games in Europe and first in both Berlin and London. The Magic will be playing their fourth and fifth games in Europe, the first in Berlin and third in London. "We appreciate the opportunity to represent the NBA and to represent the city of Memphis and state of Tennessee on an international stage in Berlin and London," Grizzlies president Jason Wexler said. .".. We are excited for fans worldwide to see the talents of the Memphis Grizzlies on full display." Current members of Orlando's roster include German brothers Franz and Moritz Wagner and German-born forward Tristan da Silva. "To have the Orlando Magic and the NBA play a regular-season game in our hometown of Berlin means everything to us," read a statement from the Wagner siblings. "Growing up here, we dreamed of moments like this. It's a huge honor to represent Berlin and Germany and show how much the city and country love basketball. We hope we can inspire kids the way we were inspired watching games from afar." --Field Level Media
