Reposting the viral image, golf writer Kyle Porter quipped: "Winning a golf tournament for $4 million and your wife handing you a baby with a poop stain square in the middle of his back is peak dad life."
One fan laughed in response: "This is what peak male performance looks like."

Sabalenka dethrones Swiatek to reach first French Open final
ARNYA SABALENKA ENDED Iga Swiatek's bid for a fourth straight French Open title as the world number one powered her way to a maiden Roland Garros final. The Belarusian snapped Swiatek's French Open winning streak at 26 matches with a 7-6 (7/1), 4-6, 6-0 success and will face either second seed Coco Gauff or French surprise hero Lois Boisson on Saturday for the title. 'It feels incredible but also I understand that the job is not done yet. I'm just thrilled with the performance today,' said the 27-year-old. 'What can I say, 6-0 – it couldn't be much more perfect than that!' Sabalenka edged a topsy-turvy first set that featured eight breaks of serve in a tie-break, before Swiatek hit back to level the match. The finale turned out to be a complete anti-climax, as Swiatek made 12 unforced errors in the third set and won only six points. Sabalenka is targeting a fourth Grand Slam title and first not on hard courts, after winning last year's US Open and the Australian Open back-to-back in 2023 and 2024. Swiatek has still not reached a WTA final since lifting the Coupe Suzanne Lenglen 12 months ago. She showed signs of a revival on the Paris clay where she has dominated since lifting the title as a teenager in 2020, but her game deserted her in the deciding set as she slipped to only the third French Open defeat of her career. Sabalenka has now won their last two meetings, and five of 13 in total. Advertisement This was the first time the pair, the dominant players in women's tennis of the past few years, have gone head-to-head at a Grand Slam tournament since Swiatek's win in the 2022 US Open semi-finals en route to the title. Sabalenka will be a strong favourite to lift the trophy when she takes on either Gauff, who she lost to in the 2023 US Open final, or world number 361 Boisson. Sabalenka roared out of the blocks as Swiatek double-faulted to give up a break in the very first game. The top seed quickly built a 3-0 lead with a double-break, as Swiatek mustered only four points in the opening exchanges. But Sabalenka's hold in game two proved to be the only one until Swiatek cut the gap to 4-3 to stay within touching distance, before making it four successive games to edge in front. Sabalenka did manage to create a chance to serve out the set, but unsurprisingly, Swiatek broke again to force a tie-break as the Belarusian lashed a groundstroke long. The three-time Grand Slam champion finally got the first set on the board, though, blasting through the tie-break as Swiatek eventually cracked. The breaks of serve kept coming in the second set, until Swiatek managed to hold for a 3-1 advantage. The pair belatedly stabilised behind their serves, albeit too late for Sabalenka in the second set as Swiatek held to love to force a decider. The four-time champion had never lost a three-set match at the French Open, but found herself sliding towards defeat as she slipped 2-0 behind in the third. Swiatek, who has built a reputation for dishing out bagels, then wilted under the pressure in a disappointing final set that lasted just 22 minutes. – © AFP 2025

Lois Boisson's dream French Open run ended in semi-final by Coco Gauff
Lois Boisson ran out of juice as her incredible French Open run was halted by Coco Gauff. France's Boisson, the world number 361, sent shockwaves around Roland Garros by becoming the first wildcard to reach the semi-finals. The 22-year-old from Dijon proved she could cut the mustard having knocked out third seed Jessica Pegula and sixth-ranked Mirra Andreeva. But world number two Gauff managed to dilute the Paris crowd with a composed 6-1 6-2 victory to set up a final showdown with top-ranked Aryna Sabalenka. 'Lois is an incredible player and for her to have the tournament she's had, she's shown she's one of the best players in the world,' said the American. Coco Gauff ends Lois Boisson fairy tale and goes back to a Roland-Garros final 💪#RolandGarros — Roland-Garros (@rolandgarros) June 5, 2025 'I hope we have many more battles in the future, especially here, Today it was just my day. 'I knew 99 per cent of the crowd would be for her. When they were chanting her name in my head I just chanted mine, to psyche myself up.' It was a grand slam semi-final of enormous contrasts, Boisson's career earnings before this tournament totalled just over £100,000 while Gauff – a year younger – has amassed nearly £18million. However, Boisson will at least be £580,000 better off after her fortnight's work in the French capital. She can also console herself with a climb in the rankings of 296 places to 65 – she has gone from French number 24 to number one – and a likely wildcard for Wimbledon. Coco Gauff, right, consoles Lois Boisson (Lindsey Wasson/AP) Gauff, the French Open runner-up in 2022, opened up a 4-0 lead before most of the Court Philippe-Chatrier patrons had retaken their seats – presumably they had been for a boisson or two – following Sabalenka's three-set win over Iga Swiatek. The heavy topspin forehands which previously accounted for five players were not firing, and even when she got a break back at the start of the second set, Gauff quickly snuffed out the mini French revolution. Victory was sealed in an hour and nine minutes to break French hearts while Gauff will get a second chance at glory in Paris on Saturday.

Rory McIlroy with work to do at Canadian Open after bogey-bogey finish
Rory McIlroy , the Masters champion and world number two, playing for the first time since the US PGA last month, experienced a lowkey return to tournament play in the RBC Canada Open with a bogey-bogey finish to his first round 71, one-over-par, that left him trailing clubhouse leaders Taylor Pendrith and Alex Smalley by six strokes. With a new TaylorMade Qi35 driver in his bag, replacing the Qi10 model which failed a characteristic time (CT) test at the PGA, McIlroy struggled to find his rhythm in cool conditions at the TPC Toronto Osprey Valley course, where placing on the fairways was in operation due to heavy rain in recent days. Aiming to fine-tune his game ahead of next week's US Open at Oakmont, where driving accuracy will be a key factor for potential winners on a course which traditionally plays as one of the toughest in the Majors, McIlroy's 71 featured four bogeys and three birdies. Having started his round on the 10th, those three birdies came in a sequence from the par-5 18th and also included the par-5 first (both putts effective tap-ins, from just 12 inches) and par-4 second, where he sank an 11-footer, but his good work was undone by a poor finish. A drive into the right rough on the eighth led to a bogey and a tee shot into a fairway bunker on the ninth, his closing hole, led to another dropped shot, which left McIlroy fighting the cut mark ahead of his second round. READ MORE 'I actually felt like I played okay. It was my first outing with a new driver, and I felt like that went pretty well. I hit some drives that I liked and that I liked to see, so that was encouraging. I hit some good iron shots, missed a couple of greens and didn't get them up-and-down, especially those last couple holes. 'Overall, I'm actually pretty happy with how I played. Obviously need to go a little bit lower [in the second round] and over the weekend to have a chance. I'm still trying to work on some things, but yeah, I'm okay with where everything is,' said McIlroy. On getting used to the new driver, McIlroy added: 'It's hard with the driver, like with the one I had been playing with previously, when I missed with it, I was a little bit left. Then my miss with this one is a little bit right. It's just trying to figure that out and manage it a little bit.' Former collegiate star Luke Clanton, playing in his first PGA Tour event as a professional, was grouped with McIlroy and Ludvig Aberg and managed to outscore McIlroy. 'Being paired with Rory is no joke. Watching him hit drivers and iron shots, it's cool. I watched him growing up my whole life, so I guess you could say he's like the Tiger Woods of my life, and it's really cool,' said Clanton, who was three over on his card through seven holes but fought back to sign for a level-par 70. Pendrith led the home challenge with a strong opening 65 but admitted to also having an eye ahead to next week's US Open. 'Next week you're going to have to hit fairways. The fairways are relatively wide here, I'd say. I know they're narrower next week, but I feel really good with the driver and have been swinging it well for a while now. There's a lot of drivers out here, so just getting some practice with that.'
