Majors exile over, LIV's Leishman through in playoff
Marc Leishman has survived a playoff to clinch his first start in a golf major in almost three years, earning a spot in the US Open. Six-time PGA Tour winner Leishman has not played a major since switching to breakaway LIV Golf following the 2022 British Open. But he emerged successful from golf's "longest day" on Monday, playing 36 holes then getting through a three-man playoff for the last two of four spots available at the qualifying event at Rockville, Maryland. It was just one of 10 final qualifying events involving hundreds of golfers at sites across the US and Canada on Monday ahead of the US Open at Oakmont from June 12-15. Leishman shot scores of 70, 69 to finish three under and tied third, then had to battle fellow LIV player Sebastian Munoz and American Bryan Lee in the playoff, with Munoz missing out after failing to convert a par putt on the second playoff hole. He will join fellow Aussies Cam Davis, Jason Day, Min Woo Lee, Adam Scott and Cameron Smith at the year's third major, and has already confirmed a return to the British Open at Royal Portrush courtesy of his tied-third finish at last year's Australian Open. It continues a positive trend for 41-year-old Leishman, who finally broke through for his first individual LIV Golf title at the Miami tournament in early April. He has had six top-10 finishes in majors with his best a tie for second at the British Open almost a decade ago. There was no joy for the other Australians involved on Monday with fellow LIV Golfer Lucas Herbert and PGA Tour rookie Karl Vilips unable to advance at Rockville, while Scott Hend and Harrison Crowe were among others to miss out elsewhere. Leishman and Herbert were among 15 LIV Golf players who entered the Maryland qualifier ahead of their league's event outside Washington DC later this week. Their Australian Ripper GC teammates Matt Jones and Wade Ormsby withdrew before it started.

Hibs pay tribute to long serving stars as pair depart with SWPL winner statuses
A fond farewell has been bid by Hibs to the players, one after 11 years of service. Sign up to our Hibs football newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up!

Hibs have wished a fond farewell to Shannon Leishman and Lia Tweedie who's long associations with the club have ended. Leishman has said her goodbyes to the team she grew up supporting after 11 successful years and over 150 appearances. She trained with Hibs Women before she was 16 years old and made her senior debut in 2014 versus Rangers, departing with a league winners' medal after nine appearances for Hibs and then spending the second half of the 2024/25 SWPL campaign on loan at Motherwell. She helped guide the Lanarkshire side to a first-ever top six finish and the Scottish Cup Semi-Finals. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad That adds to four domestic cups won in Leith, having also played UEFA Women's Champions League football with her childhood club. Head coach Grant Scott has wished Leishman the best for the future. Hibs reaction to long serving player exits He said: 'Shannon has been a dedicated servant to Hibernian over the past 11 years. Coming through our Academy, Shannon has from a young age always set an example for others to follow and her commitment to being the ultimate professional has helped us to many successes over the years. More than all of that, she's a great person whose presence will be missed. We thank her for her contributions and wish her all the best for the future.' It comes after Tweedie's exit was also recently announced. Over two stints at Hibs, the forward won seven trophies in total, including a couple of Scottish Cups and four Scottish League Cups. She made a substitute appearance on the final day of the season against Rangers as league glory was secured. Scott said: 'I want to thank Lia for her outstanding contribution to Hibernian. She is a great person who has deservedly picked up plenty of winners' medals with the Club. 'From coming through the Hibs Academy to performing on the European stage and winning silverware, Lia has always remained a fantastic servant to this Club and will be a big loss to the group – both on and off the pitch. I wish Lia the best of luck with what comes next for her in her career.'
