Woad's magic missing as Okayama, Takeda lead Women's Open
PORTHCAWL, Wales, July 31 (Reuters) - England's Lottie Woad endured a frustrating start to the AIG Women's Open as Japan's Eri Okayama and Rio Takeda topped the first-round leaderboard at a sunny Royal Porthcawl on Thursday. An astonishing July, which culminated in Woad winning the Scottish Open in her first event as a professional, had made the 21-year-old favourite for the year's final major. But the former Florida State University player found the going tough on the south Wales coast as she ground out a level-par round of 72 thanks to a birdie at the last. Okayama's five-under 67 gave her the lead before she was joined by Takeda after she birdied the 18th. Japanese players dominated the opening day with Miyu Yamashita at four-under ahead of a large group on three-under that included Chevron Championship winner Mao Saigo, Shiho Kuwaki and Chisato Iwai. Reigning champion Lydia Ko of New Zealand and world number one Nelly Korda, like Woad, failed to take advantage of relatively calm conditions. Ko finished on one over, while American Korda was two-under par. World number 139 Okayama bogeyed her opening hole but birdied five of the next eight and was rock solid on the way back with another birdie at the 17th moving her ahead. Takeda recovered from a double-bogey seven at the ninth with four birdies on the back nine, putting her joint first. By far the largest galleries assembled just after lunchtime to watch Woad in a group alongside Ko and American Lilia Vu. Despite it being her first major as a professional, Surrey-born Woad's win at the Irish Open and then missing out by one stroke at the Evian Championship just before turning pro meant she arrived in Wales with sky-high expectations. Woad was a cumulative 55-under-par for her last three tournaments and the crowd did not have to wait long for a glimpse of her quality as she rolled in a birdie at the first. A bogey at the third and another at the fifth followed but she then had the crowd cheering as a long putt from the edge of the sixth green disappeared for another birdie. Woad struggled to gain any momentum though and scrambled for a par-five at the ninth. A bogey on the 11th put her one over for the round but she got back to level with a birdie three at the 14th after a majestic approach shot. Another mistake at the par-three 15th cost her shot though before a birdie at the 18th made sure she finished the way she had started.

Trump brings back Presidential Fitness Test in public schools that Obama killed with event featuring top sports stars
President Donald Trump is pitching a plan to reestablish the Presidential Fitness Test for American children to promote young people staying active and healthy. The president will host an event Thursday afternoon where he will sign an executive order restoring the test and expanding his council on sports, fitness, and nutrition. The event will feature golfer Bryson DeChambeau, NFL Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker and former NFL New York Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor, according to CNN, as well as other athletes and coaching figures. Trump is also expected to reestablish the President's Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition. First established by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1966, the presidential fitness test created a program that would reward excellence in physical education. Participants would run, do sit-ups, pull-ups, and push-ups to compete, demonstrating athletic excellence in previous versions of the test. Other activities in the test included running, jumping, a 50-yard dash, and a softball throw. Former President Barack Obama ended the test in 2012, replacing it with a more tailored assessment on individual health rather that physical feats. 'President Trump wants every young American to have the opportunity to emphasize healthy, active lifestyles — creating a culture of strength and excellence for years to come,' White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement to reporters. Trump plans to restore the test, which will be administered by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., as he continues his efforts to 'Make America Healthy Again.' The announcement serves as one more example of Trump's emphasis on sports and fitness as the United States prepares to celebrate the 250th birthday of the United States of America. Trump is preparing for the United States to host the 2025 Ryder Cup, 2026 FIFA World Cup games and the 2028 Summer Olympics, all which will take place during his second term. The president has also personally attended the the Super Bowl, Daytona 500 and UFC matches as president. In May, Trump declared National Physical Fitness and Sports Month to promote 'the foundational role that physical fitness and sports play in helping us to live longer, healthier, and more fulfilling lives.' 'For far too long, our Nation has failed to prioritize the health and well-being of the American people,' the president's proclamation read. 'This negligence has come at a devastating cost.
