Open tee-off times: Two-time champion Pádraig Harrington starts first at Portrush on Thursday with rookie Tom McKibbin
After Darren Clarke got the honour in 2019, 2007 and 2008 champion Harrington will hit the first tee shot at 6:35am this week, insisting he will be 'posing no matter where the ball goes". Northern Ireland native McKibbin (22) will be third off the tee in just his second appearance in The Open. 'I'm relishing it big time,' McKibbin said of his fourth major start. 'I experienced it a little bit at the Irish Open. But I think this will be even bigger. 'It's just super cool to see people cheering you on and shouting your name. It takes you aback a little bit from where I wasn't even a pro and when I was last here. So to be here and playing and having the crowd supporting is awesome.' Clarke will tee off with American Davis Riley and Australia's Lucas Herbert at 7:52am, but there's also a stellar draw for 2019 champion Shane Lowry alongside world number one Scottie Scheffler and 2021 winner Collin Morikawa at 10:09am. Rory McIlroy is one of the big favourites to win this week will go off with Justin Thomas and 2019 runner-up Tommy Fleetwood at 3:10pm. Defending champion Xander Schauffele will go out just ahead of Lowry at 9:58am, with US Open champion JJ Spaun and fancied Spaniard Jon Rahm.

Tainted Grail The Fall of Avalon I See a Darkness quest full walkthrough
(Image via Awaken Realms) In Tainted Grail The Fall of Avalon I See a Darkness quest takes the players into a moral quagmire where the supernatural plague tests their ethics and alliances. Tasked to cure the affliction of the village, the eerie side mission will force you to confront the ancient beings and make choices that ripple beyond immediate horror. Here is how you can navigate the web of despair and decide who dies, lives, or suffers. Tainted Grail The Fall of Avalon I See a Darkness quest: Confronting Dream-plague I See a Darkness – Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon Begin in Horns of the Southwestern village, where the distressed woman, Betrys, guards the delirious, caged man named Col. Speaking to her, you will learn of the curse that's spreading from the refugee dreams to keepers. Agree to investigate the situation and then trek northwest to the camp near King's Road. Here, the Corpse Eater lurks. Be aware he is a fast and clawed foe, weak to the staggering attacks. Bait the lunges, counter with the heavy strikes, and dodge sideways. Once you dispatch, sleep on a tattered bedroll and enter the dream realm. Traverse fog-shrouded landscape until you finally reach Abhartach, the chained Fore-Dweller. He will beg for the bite of your blood, claiming it is the cure to the plague. You now have 2 options: allow the bite or refuse. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your Finger Shape Says a Lot About Your Personality, Read Now Tips and Tricks Undo If you allow it, Abhartach will die instantly, poisoned by the tainted blood. If you refuse, you will have to fight the pitiful, weakened version of Abhartach. He will collapse right after one attack. Either of the choices will grant Fore-Dweller Bauble the magic focus for the spellcasters. Exit the realm and then return back to Betrys, who will confirm that the curse's been lifted. However, Col still remains broken. In case your Spirituality stat is higher (15+), you can persuade her to let you end the suffering of Col for bonus XP and gold. But it needs stealth. For it, wait till nightfall, sneak into the cell of Col (avoiding guards or without using torches), and execute Col quietly for dodging the bounty). Note: If you fail the check, it will lock the option and leave Col in complete agony. The quest will conclude either way, but the merciful route here demands foresight. The weight of decisions in Tainted Grail The Fall of Avalon I See a Darkness quest In Tainted Grail The Fall of Avalon I See a Darkness quest, the game's grim tone is reinforced—no outcome truly is completely good. To spare Abhartach is not an option, and the mercy-killing Col might seem brutal, but it is a pragmatic choice. The Fore-Dweller Bauble is the useful magical focus. However, the real rewards come with uncovering more of the twisted lore of Avalon. Remember, every action in the quest echoes the themes of the game—decay and sacrifice. Whether you embrace ruthlessness or are hesitant in the face of darkness, the choices will linger long after this quest ends.

What to do in the Côte d'Azur—from skiing to hiking
When sea and summit sit less than 55 miles apart, adventure is abundant, regardless of the season. It's the beaches that are most famous in the Côte d'Azur (a.k.a. the French Riviera): from the alabaster sands of Nice — only separated from the city by the Promenade des Anglais — to the U-shaped harbour of Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, and Villefranche-sur-Mer's terracotta seaside facades. Fewer tourists venture inland, but the mountains hold the secret to the locals' quality of life. Skiing, snowshoeing and ice climbing dominate the winter calendar, and summer offers a heady selection of fair-weather activities: cycling, hiking, canyoning and rafting, in a mix more varied than a salade niçoise. If you're basing yourself in Nice, here's how to make the most of the region year-round. Best for: all kinds of skiing, mountaineering and ice climbingNice has the best of both worlds. In 90 minutes — and for the princely sum of €14 (£11.70) return — you can be at the slopes thanks to the airport shuttle bus. A day ski pass costs half that of one for the Three Valleys', and it's not for want of quality: Isola 2000 and Auron have 75 and 85 miles of pistes respectively. Isola 2000 is great for families, with plenty of green and blue runs as well as slopeside lunches that don't break the bank, while a quarter of Auron's ski area is black runs. All the usual winter sports are also available at both, including snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, sledding and dog sledding. Saint-Martin-Vésubie is the place to go for 'uphill' adventurers — those who value sweat over adrenaline. Many people come for cross-country skiing, but you can also try out ice climbing on an artificial frozen waterfall, which looks like dripping candle wax. To try the real thing, take an ice climbing or mountaineering course in Mercantour National Park. Best for: road cycling and climbingSpring doesn't just herald Alpine flowers in bloom — it's also the season to grab a bike and tackle some of the region's legendary passes before temperatures soar. From a vantage point more than 3,000ft high at Col de Vence, you can see the Mediterranean coast all the way from Nice to Antibes. Even more of a calf burn is Col de Turini, which is over 5,000ft high. It's included in the Monte Carlo Rally each year and there are 34 switchbacks. It's also the best season for climbing. Junic rock in Saint-Dalmas-le-Selvage is a popular spot, with more than 70 routes to choose from. The village looks so small from above that it could be made from origami. Further south, at Valdeblore, there's a via ferrata (iron path) along with traditional climbing routes. Best for: hiking and mountain bikingHigh season on the Côte d'Azur might conjure up images of sunlounger wars, but there's a surefire way to get away from the crowds — by heading to the mountains. In summer, the high mountain passes are finally open, making challenges like Col de la Lombarde accessible. Once you know it's featured several times on the Tour de France itinerary a climb is to be expected, but this one's relentless: around 12 miles of solid uphill pedalling. If offroad is more your scene, an epic, seven-stage mountain bike route runs all the way from Auron (5,249ft) to Nice at sea level. Day hikes can be punctuated with deliciously refreshing dips in high altitude mountain lakes. The Gordolasque valley is one of the most wild and remote in Mercantour National Park. A 7.5 mile hike takes you to Lac Niré, a lake formed by glaciers, where you can stay overnight at Refuge de Nice. Best for: multi-day hiking, zip-lining and paraglidingSeptember — snow-free but the air no longer like hot breath — is the best time for long mountain plods. Mercantour National Park has hiking trails for every ability, punctuated by frequent wildlife sightings of ibex, chamois and marmots. If you have the luxury of time, the GR52 runs all the way from the mountains to the Mediterranean: around 130 miles from Entraunes to Menton, crossing the entire Alpes-Maritimes region. Another sea-to-summit hike, the Pagarine or Salt Route, runs from Nice to Cuneo, Italy, taking on average 10 days to complete. For shorter jaunts, the Saint-Martin-Vésubie is a great place to head for day hikes through cool pine forests, returning to sample local specialities in Niçoise restaurants (a 75-minute drive away) in the evening. As the leaves change colour, it's the perfect time to get a bird's-eye view over the mountains, either with an adrenaline kick from France's longest zip-line at La Colmiane (open year-round) or at a more leisurely speed, paragliding over glassy mountain lakes and peaks.
