'What about me?!' - Peake collecting Mickelson memorabilia
The 31-year-old carded a six-over-par 77 on his opening round and admitted to being slightly in awe of his six-time major champion playing partner.
"I grabbed his putter off him a few times and had a little feel of it! That's the OG - the one from the Masters," Peake said.
"His caddy was giving out golf balls as he walked off the tee and I yelled, 'What about me?!' He had a laugh and thought I was being sarcastic, but he said was I serious and I said, 'deadly serious' and said could he sign a glove as well!"

The British & Irish Lions in numbers: Beirne impresses against the Wallabies
By James Reid The British & Irish Lions earned a hard-fought 27-19 win over Australia in the first Test at Suncorp Stadium. It was the perfect start to the three Tests of the Qatar Airways British & Irish Lions Tour to Australia 2025 and sets up an enticing second Test in Melbourne next weekend. Andy Farrell and his squad will take plenty of positives and lots to work as they head south, with a whole heap of numbers to pore over. Here are a few to help break down what we watched in Brisbane. 1 – minute until the first penalty The Lions made the perfect start to the match, with Tadhg Beirne earning a penalty with less than a minute on the clock. It proved a dangerous omen for the Wallabies, with Beirne producing a Player of the Match performance as part of a destructive back row alongside Tom Curry and Jack Conan. The penalty proved the ideal nerve-settler for anyone in red, either on the pitch or in the crowd, though it was unlikely Finn Russell was amongst those whose hearts were racing at kick-off. The Scotsman slotted home the three points to set the Lions on their way, before putting in a huge performance from fly-half. 23 – tackles by Tadhg Beirne A perfect back row is one that has the right balance, and Andy Farrell may well have found his with Beirne, Conan, and Curry. Beirne led the way with the heavy lifting in Brisbane, getting through a huge amount of working in the tackle – his 23 was the most of any player on the pitch. He was matched in work-rate by Conan and Curry, whose work off the ball in particular was exceptional amidst fierce competition for the six, seven, and eight shirts. Beirne also won three turnovers to round off an impressive evening in Queensland. 65 – metres carried by Huw Jones Midfield partner Sione Tuipulotu may have been the one to cross the whitewash, but Huw Jones also impressed at outside centre. The Scot's pace and running caused regular problems for the Wallabies and almost had a try himself in the first half only for referee Ben O'Keefe to call things back. Jones made 65 metres, the most of any player, with team-mate Jack Conan right behind with 64. Dan Sheehan rounded off a Lions top three with 50 metres to his name, something that will surely please Farrell as the Lions put their size and athleticism to good use. 11 – penalties conceded Victory in Brisbane was not without room for improvement, something captain Maro Itoje was keen to stress after the match. The Lions' discipline was an area of particular focus from both Itoje and Beirne afterwards, with their 11 penalties something that could cause problems if not addressed before the second Test in Melbourne. 'Overall, we stacked up, got the job done and roll on next week,' said Beirne. 'Our discipline needs to be a big focus, but I think we controlled the game, especially in the first half.' 6 - wins in a row Victory at Suncorp Stadium extended the Lions' winning run on the Tour to six matches. A match against First Nations & Pasifika XV on Tuesday will look to extend that and will be a chance for others to stake a claim for a place in the matchday 23. Then it will be onto Melbourne and the MCG, where a crowd of up to 100,00 awaits the Lions.

How Cristian Chivu Plans To Integrate Atalanta Forward Into Inter Milan Formidable Frontline
Inter Milan manager Cristian Chivu already has a vision for Ademola Lookman, even though Atalanta have yet to green-light the move. According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInter1908, the 44-year-old will likely alter the formation to accommodate the Nigerian. Despite waiting for Atalanta's go-ahead, Inter are already making plans for Ademola Lookman. Indeed, the 27-year-old has agreed to join the Nerazzurri, with Inter offering €40 million for his services. Meanwhile, Ivan Juric's men insist on their €50m asking price, but a compromise seems inevitable. How Cristian Chivu Plans to Use Ademola Lookman in Inter Milan Star-Studded Attack As already known, Cristian Chivu intends to change Inter's formation. Instead of Simone Inzaghi's trademark 3-5-2, he prefers a slightly different set-up. Therefore, Inter could line up in a 3-4-2-1 next season. It would see Marcus Thuram drop behind Lautaro Martinez, who would then act as a lone striker. Meanwhile, Lookman would slot next to the Frenchman and take his favorite position behind a center-forward. Otherwise, Chivu may try out a 3-4-1-2. In that case, the 27-year-old would be a 'trequartista' behind Lautaro and Thuram. Perfectly capable of playing as a classic '10,' Lookman could thrive in the central role.

Million-euro deal close: Werder set to sign Juve wonderkid!
As Belgian transfer expert Sacha Tavolieri reported on Saturday evening, Werder Bremen is making significant progress in the poker game for Samuel Mbangula from Juventus. Accordingly, both clubs have moved much closer together in the past few hours. Therefore, a deal can be expected soon! The people of Bremen are digging deep into their pockets for the 21-year-old left winger and, according to Tavolieri, are paying a transfer fee of a total of twelve million euros. This amount includes possible bonus payments, so the first payment will likely be lower. Werder has already agreed on a transfer with Mbangula himself.
