Rory McIlroy fires shot over heads of fans at US Open as wowed commentator says 'this is not safe'
'This is not safe' said the TV commentator as the Irish superstar faced tough scenario at Oakmont Bold Rory McIlroy dramatically hit a shot straight over the heads of risk-taking fans during his final round at Oakmont. The Northern Irish superstar began early on Sunday with his US Open title chances long gone due to a disappointing first trio of efforts. Masters champ McIlroy was looking to a strong ending to his tournament, but found himself off line during his fourth hole of the round. With fans in his line to the green and their apparent unwillingness to clear a passageway, the superstar was forced to take on his shot over their heads. The commentary team on the clip put out on Sky Sports' social media talked prior to the strike with one stating: 'He's got a group of spectators in front of him that just don't want to move and he's going to be firing it up over their heads.' At that point, a second member of the coverage added: 'Wow. They obviously haven't seen some of the replays from this week out of this stuff. This is not safe.' Although not having a good tournament, McIlroy displayed all of his skills to execute the shot perfectly and carry the ball safely high and over their heads. The star was hunting positive vibes to take away from a difficult week at Oakmont as he is scheduled to play next at the Travelers Championship in Conneticut where he is scheduled to play next with the tournament starting on Thursday. The career Grand Slam champion's frustrations boiled over at times during the week and he confessed following his Saturday round that he didn't care if he made the cut or not with his opportunity to lift the trophy and win a sixth Major long gone by that stage. The five-times Major winner also reiterated his gripes over the media during his day three chat after coming off the course and insisted he had earned the right to do what he wants when it comes to talking post rounds or not after skipping recent requested briefings. McIlroy spoke with a tone and had an expression that led to his ex- Ryder Cup skipper Paul McGinley insisting that something is eating him and he needs a break. He said: 'He looks fed up to me. He looks like he's had enough of everything. Whether it was the emotional release of everything that's gone on in his career, I don't know. But he's not himself, this is not normal. 'When he does that, because people look up to him. 'A [press] conference like that with his body language and short language doesn't serve him right. I don't like to see it. 'I'm disappointed for Rory that it's come to that. Something is eating at him. He hasn't let us know what it is, but there's something not right.'

F1 Canadian GP live: Race latest updates with George Russell on pole next to Max Verstappen
George Russell took a brilliant pole position for the Canadian Grand Prix after he saw off rival Max Verstappen to clinch top spot in Montreal. Russell delivered the goods with the final lap of a thrilling qualifying session to cross the line 0.160 seconds clear of Verstappen. Championship leader Oscar Piastri had to settle for third but it was another bitterly-disappointing one-lap showing from Lando Norris which leaves him seventh on the grid. Kimi Antonelli finished fourth, one place ahead of Ferrari's Lewis Hamilton. Russell started on pole here last year and came from nowhere to secure first place again. Verstappen, who crashed into Russell at the previous round in Spain, will join him on the front row. Pinned What time does the race start today? It's a 7pm (BST) start time for the race today! You won't want to miss it... Kieran Jackson14 June 2025 22:20 Canadian GP odds! Max Verstappen 8/5 Oscar Piastri 9/5 George Russell 13/5 Lando Norris 8/1 Lewis Hamilton 40/1 Kimi Antonelli 50/1 Charles Leclerc 55/1 Fernando Alonso 100/1 Odds provided by Grosvenor Sport Kieran Jackson15 June 2025 18:35 PREVIEW: Max Verstappen is on his final warning in Canada – but it won't change a thing As F1 makes its second trip across the Atlantic in the space of five weeks, Max Verstappen is the centre of attention once again. Before Miami in May, it was due to heartwarming reasons, as he became a father for the first time a few days earlier. Yet this weekend, ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix, the Red Bull driver knows he is on his final warning on-track. The three penalty points accumulated at the last meet in Spain – punishment for a deliberate ram into George Russell – means the enigmatic Dutchman is just one point away from a race suspension. A suspension which, surely, would put his faint 2025 title hopes in the dust. As such, Verstappen must keep his nose clean this weekend, and in Austria in a fortnight's time, before two of his 11 points are wiped from his licence. Twelve across a year trigger a ban; it is a fair system, designed to curtail erratic, dangerous manoeuvres such as the one seen in Barcelona. Max Verstappen is on his final warning in Canada – but it won't change a thing Verstappen is one penalty point away from a ban and must stay out of trouble at the next two races, yet is unlikely to alter his aggressive racing style in Montreal Kieran Jackson15 June 2025 18:30 FIA suspends race steward from Canadian Grand Prix after media comments surface The FIA has suspended driver steward Derek Warwick from the Canadian Grand Prix after comments he made in the media. The 70-year-old ex-Formula One driver's suspension follows remarks circulated by a gambling platform following last weekend's Spanish Grand Prix about a variety of matters, including a 10-second penalty given to Red Bull's Max Verstappen. On Lewis Hamilton's move to Ferrari, Warwick said: 'I think he deserves that eighth world title, but it's not going to happen this year. I think if it carries on the way it is at the minute, I suspect he's already thinking of stopping.' The FIA confirmed that Enrique Bernoldi, who raced for the Arrows Formula One team, will replace Warwick in Montreal. FIA suspends race steward from Canadian Grand Prix after media comments surface Derek Warwick accepted that his comments were 'ill-advised' Kieran Jackson15 June 2025 18:23 Driver Standings heading into the race: 1. Oscar Piastri (McLaren) – 186 points 2. Lando Norris (McLaren) – 176 points 3. Max Verstappen (Red Bull) – 137 points 4. George Russell (Mercedes) – 111 points 5. Charles Leclerc (Ferrari) – 94 points 6. Lewis Hamilton (Ferrari) – 71 points 7. Kimi Antonelli (Mercedes) – 48 points 8. Alex Albon (Williams) – 42 points 9. Isack Hadjar (Racing Bulls) – 21 points 10. Esteban Ocon (Haas) – 20 points 11. Nico Hulkenberg (Sauber) - 16 points 12. Lance Stroll (Aston Martin) – 14 points 13. Carlos Sainz (Williams) – 13 points 14. Pierre Gasly (Alpine) – 11 points 15. Yuki Tsunoda (Red Bull) – 10 points 16. Ollie Bearman (Haas) – 6 points 17. Liam Lawson (Racing Bulls) – 4 points 18.

Franco Colapinto (Alpine) – 0 points Kieran Jackson15 June 2025 18:15 Red Bull boss Christian Horner: On Verstappen-Russell incident: 'He apologised in the debrief, a very frustrating race for him and the team. It was one of those things, with hindsight, I'm sure he wouldn't have done what he did. 'He's a driver who drives with a huge amount of emotion, that's the brilliance he has. Occasionally, you make misjudgements - you see it with all the greats, Senna, Schumacher. He immediately apologised to the team.' On Ferrari rumours: 'I'm not going anywhere. It's always flattering being associated with other teams, particularly Ferrari, but I'm not going anywhere. Been here 21 years, don't have any intention on being anywhere else.' Kieran Jackson15 June 2025 18:09 McLaren's Lando Norris, who starts P7: 'It's a short run but a long race, plenty of chances to overtake and move forward. A podium would be lovely and our target today, but it's going to be tough.' 15 June 2025 18:02 Martin Brundle on Max Verstappen's 11 penalty points: 'It's a sporting advantage. Max doesn't need another penalty point for an indiscretion in turn 1, he doesn't want to miss the home Red Bull race in Austria. 'The other drivers have to use that mechanism against him.' Kieran Jackson15 June 2025 17:59 George Russell, who starts on pole in Montreal: 'I actually watched the lap three times in a row last night! You can do these laps 10 times a year but to do it in Q3 when it matters is the key. 'I've watched a few starts, know the braking points, it'll be an interesting turn 1. It's not going to be a straightforward race. It's hot out there, we tend to do slightly worse in the hotter conditions. Piastri is going to be quick. 'We'll all be starting on the medium tyres, we don't know if it'll be a one or two stop. We need to be alive for the situations and pull the trigger when required.' Kieran Jackson15 June 2025 17:54 Gasly and Lawson start in pit-lane As a result of making changes overnight, Gasly and Lawson will start in the pit-lane. Doesn't do much for the grid - simply moves Yuki Tsunoda up from 20th to 18th. Kieran Jackson15 June 2025 17:46
