Darren Clarke back at Royal Portrush with high hopes for McIlroy
The 7am tee-time practice trio on Tuesday at Royal Portrush: Darren Clarke, Rory McIlroy, Tom McKibbin. The galleries grew and grew. The venue for the Open this week was the site of a starstruck McIlroy meeting Clarke on his 10th birthday in 1999. Clarke's foundation played a key role in the early development of McIlroy. McKibbin, as a 13-year-old playing at McIlroy's home club in Holywood, was invited by him to play in the Irish Open's pro-am in 2016. The connections are as uplifting as they are strong. Clarke's description of seeing McIlroy win the Masters in April, completing his set of majors, is therefore understandable. 'I watched every shot,' Clarke says. 'I couldn't take my eyes off it. Rory winning there was almost like watching my two boys, Tyrone and Conor, win. I was that emotional. 'I have known Rory for so long, I know his talent and his journey. To get over the line and do it, in true Rory fashion keeping us on the edge of our seats until the very end … It was destiny for Rory to join that exalted company. I was very proud just watching it. If I gave a 0.0001% help in his journey then brilliant but it was more pride, knowing him as I do. It isn't often you will watch something and feel like you are watching your own two boys play.' Clarke has never claimed any credit for McIlroy's achievements. That will not change. McKibbin and Shane Lowry also had involvement with Clarke's foundation. 'I was just trying to help,' he says. 'I don't seek publicity for it because that isn't why I do it. Half of my foundation is to support breast cancer research [his first wife, Heather, died of the disease in 2006], half is to help the development of junior golf in Ireland, so that is all close to my heart.' The 56-year-old recalls not only that 1999 meeting but the early buzz around McIlroy. 'I am not saying this to be all 'I told you so' but you could see back then how good he was, how much potential he had,' Clarke says. 'Now, potential and turning into the player that he has become are two different things but the talent he showed even from that age was just incredible. He was gifted, totally gifted.' All evidence suggests McIlroy has rediscovered his mojo after a brief post-Masters lull. Clarke knows the scenario; his life was hugely altered by lifting the Claret Jug in 2011. 'I'm not in any shape or form comparing what I did with Rory but when you search and go for so long trying to achieve your goals, sometimes it is hard to have a reset afterwards,' Clarke says. 'He has achieved what only five other people in the history of our game have, so it's no wonder there is a reset for him. The reception he will get at Portrush will be unbelievable.' Darren Clarke holds the Claret Jug after winning the 2011 Open at Royal St George's in Sandwich, Kent. File picture: Ross Kinnaird/Getty Clarke's own situation is fascinating on two fronts. He was on course to make the cut in 2019 before a nightmarish triple-bogey seven on his 36th hole. Clarke returns to the Dunluce Links, where the 9th hole has been named after him, knowing this could be his final Open. Motivation stems in part from events of six years ago. 'I was fuming,' he admits. 'All my years of experience and to do that on the last hole … I had played so nicely. It wasn't steam coming out of my ears, it was lava. The 'new me' as I get older? Bollocks to that! That irritated me a lot. It hurt me. I have never played tournaments just to make that cut but I was comfortably inside the line and to do that was beyond frustrating.' Clarke is undecided on whether this Open will mean goodbye. He remains not only hugely competitive on the Champions Tour in the US but a prodigious worker. 'I had gone through a spell of missing the Open cut too many times in a row but last year I actually played OK without having a great weekend. This year I have been playing really nicely without putting well. So I will see, I don't know. I really haven't made my mind up. If it gets to the stage where I think I have no chance of having a semi decent week, of making the cut, then I definitely won't play. 'I love Portrush, that goes without saying. It is just a very special place for me. If this is to be my last one, there isn't a better place. I am determined to really enjoy this one. Sometimes, I have tried so hard that I haven't been able to enjoy where I am.' Clarke was a staunch advocate of the Open's return to Portrush after a 68-year hiatus. Peter Dawson, the former chief executive of the R&A, took on the case. 'I kept chirping at Peter's ear,' Clarke says. 'I think he ended up trying to avoid me at all costs. It was a bold move on his behalf to commit to bringing the Open to Portrush. It was great the last time; this one will be even better. They could easily just have come back for one but they didn't, they committed.' Darren Clarke, Rory McIlroy and Tom McKibbin played a practice round together this week. Picture: Ben Brady/Inpho Clarke encountered the Troubles. He comprehends what it means for Northern Ireland to showcase itself now on a global sporting stage. 'Bombs and shootings became part and parcel of life,' Clarke says. 'You were always wary. I think playing golf and playing in tournaments all over Ireland from a young age got me thinking there was more going on, about what was happening back home not making any sense. We have come an awful long way from that. 'That's not at all to say other places in the world haven't had bad times but you grew up in a tough time. I was fortunate my parents gave me everything to allow me to play golf, which in turn let me see what opportunity was possible back in those days.' The final words, and intriguing ones, are for McKibbin. 'I have spent a lot of time with Tom, we have the same coach,' Clarke says. 'He is the real deal. He just flushes the ball. He is eager, he wants to learn so much.' It feels sensible to take note. - The Guardian

Brit rock star welcomes twins with stunning model wife as he shares first pics and unusual names
A HUGE Brit rock star has welcomed twins with his stunning model wife, sharing their first pics and unusual names. 6 Bring Me The Horizon's Oli Sykes has welcomed twins with his stunning model wife Credit: Getty 6 She shared their first pics and unusual names to Instagram Credit: instagram In an Instagram post, she shared an image of the tots - writing, 'amor infinito,' which translates to "infinite love", adding, "grey & zélia." Oli, who has been married to Victoria since 2017, reshared the image to his Story. The pair met while she was working as a model for his Drop Dead Clothing collection. It was only back in May that read more on Oli Sykes In a video he shared, both Oli and Victoria could be seen sitting at their dining table with a box each in front of them. Opening the boxes, they each got out a cupcake that would end up revealing the gender of their twins. "Oh my god," Victoria said as she opened her box. "Are you ready?" she asked Oli, to which he said: "Bite it, bite it." Most read in Music Victoria took a bite and then revealed that there was pink sponge inside the first cupcake. Oli declared: "We're having a baby girl!" Huge UK rock star reveals his stunning girlfriend is pregnant with twins The rocker then opened his box and munched into his cupcake. As Oli revealed the colour inside his cake, the pair both screamed loudly. "Oh my god, no f**king way, no f**king way," Oli said as he turned the cupcake around so it was in view of the camera lens. Showing off the blue sponge, it was revealed that the pair would be welcoming a baby daughter and a baby son. Victoria then said: "This is crazy!" Commenting on the post, one person said: "Congratulations to you both." Another added: "This is the cutest thing I've ever seen CONGRATS." What are the different types of twins? TWINS are when two children are produced in the same pregnancy. They can be identical or different, and two boys, two girls, or a girl and a boy. Twins are quite rare, but are usually born completely healthy What are the different types of twins? Monozygotic – identical twins ('one cell' twins) Dizygotic – also known as 'fraternal', non identical twins. Babies are no more alike than siblings born at separate times, and they can be the same or different sexes Conjoined twins – identical twins that are joined together. They are extremely rare, and it's estimated they range from one in 49,000 to 189,000 births, although around half are stillborn, and one third die within 24 hours. Can identical twins be two different sexes? Identical twins are always of the same sex because they form from the same fertilised egg that contains either female or male chromosomes. The single egg is divided into two separate embryos, and they occur in about three in every 1000 deliveries worldwide. Therefore, boy/girl twins are always fraternal (or dizygotic), as their chromosomes are either XY (male) or XX (female). What are Di Di twins? Di Di stands for Dichronic Diamniotic, and they are the common type of twins. They have their own amniotic sacs and placenta, so are just sharing the womb of the mother, and are therefore not identical. There are few complications with Di Di twins, so have a good chance of being born completely healthy without intervention from your doctor. Di di twins are more likely to be non-identical than identical. "You hit the lottery omg twins and a boy n girl," penned a third. A fourth then wrote: "OMG Oli is going to be a father! Did not expect the news of twins, but congrats to you both." While a fifth said: "OMG I'M FOLLOWING HAPPINESS!!!!! PLEASE BE HEALTHY!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!" And a sixth added: "So exciting. Best feeling in the world." Bring Me the Horizon are a British rock band. They were formed in Sheffield more than 20 years ago in 2004. The group currently consists of lead vocalist Oli, drummer Matt Nicholls, guitarist Lee Malia and bassist Matt Kean. 6 It was only back in May that he told fans about his wife's pregnancy Credit: instagram/olobersykes/ 6 In a gender reveal video, they found out they are expecting both a boy and a girl Credit: instagram/olobersykes/ 6 Oli is loved up with wife Victoria Credit: Instagram/Olobersykes 6 The band was formed in 2004 Credit: Getty

Irish woman denies claims she is mystery woman seen with Conor McGregor on beach
Online personality and Ashford Motors owner Nadia Adan has denied speculation that she is the mystery woman pictured kissing Conor McGregor in a series of recently circulated posts on social media. The photos, published over the weekend, appear to show the UFC star sharing an intimate moment with an unidentified brunette on a beach in Florida. Reports claim McGregor had just finished a jet ski ride before getting close to the woman. McGregor, a father of four, has been engaged to long-time partner Dee Devlin since 2020. The couple have been together for over 16 years. READ MORE: Dee Devlin responds to Conor McGregor hours after mystery woman and nude pic scandal READ MORE: Who is the mystery woman Conor McGregor was seen kissing on Florida beach?

'This could potentially destroy someone, pls be kind, thanks Nadia x.' The Wicklow native then posted a video saying: 'I woke up this morning to a plethora of calls and messages. I asked myself, 'who did I piss off today?', it definitely wasn't the EV owners.' 'Now come on, this not me in the picture. I have been getting abusing messages all day long; people telling I'm breaking up families.' 'And secondly, I haven't been on holiday in months, id love to go away.
