Stephen Gallacher had mixed feelings after marking his ISPS HANDA Senior Open debut with a sub-par effort at Sunningdale. On the one hand, the former Ryder Cup player was pleased to sign for a two-under-par 68, which left him sitting in the top 20 at the end of the opening round. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad But, on a day when Scottish-based Kiwi Steven Alker set the pace with a seven-under 63, Gallacher was disappointed that he wasn't closer to the lead. Stephen Gallacher signed for a two-under-par 70 on his debut in the ISPS HANDA Senior Open at Sunningdale | Getty Images 'I left a bit out there, to be honest,' he said after covering the first ten holes in four under before dropping shots at the 12th and 18th at the Berkshire venue. 'I only missed one green and two fairways, just didn't hole the putts. 'My golf was very strong. Disappointed to bogey the last but, apart from that, it was okay as it's not an easy course at all. The wind was swirling a little bit, so under par is not a bad start.' Alker, who has been one of the dominant forces in the senior ranks since turning 50, signed for an eagle and six birdies while defending champion K.J. Choi and US Senior Open champion Padraig Harrington also made strong starts.

'Good thing about being out here is that you feel you can win again' But, having already given a good account of himself in his two senior major appearances this year, Gallacher said: 'The good thing about being out here is that you feel you can compete and win again. 'When you were getting to 48 and 49 and playing well but just making the cut, it's a tough one mentally to get your head round. 'Out here the mindset is different. You are trying to get in contention on a Sunday and that's what you play golf for. It kind of rejuvenates you a bit.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad

Alessia Russo's new England role noticed after Lionesses' Euros semi-final win
Alessia Russo replacing Ellen White during Euro 2022 (Image: UEFA via Getty Images) Alessia Russo was the pretender to Ellen White's throne in England's Euro 2022 run but the apprentice has now become the master. White retired from international football just weeks after the Lionesses' Wembley triumph, allowing Russo to grow into the role of starting striker over the last three years. Now, as England prepare to face Spain in the final of Euro 2025, Michelle Agyemang has stepped into Russo's old role and begun learning from her Arsenal team-mate for country as well as for club. 'Michelle has been doing an incredible job but Alessia's been running herself into the ground,' England midfielder Keira Walsh said after super-sub Agyemang's goal against Italy helped Sarina Wiegman's team keep themselves alive in the tournament. 'I spoke to Alessia a little bit about it and it's almost like she's doing Ellen's role from the previous tournament. Ellen was incredible for 80 minutes and then Alessia would come on and finish the game for us, and those two [Alessia and Michelle] are kind of doing the same this tournament.' Spain, like England, needed extra-time to book their place in the final after Germany took them the distance in Zurich on Wednesday night. Aitana Bonmati was their match-winner, spinning away from her marker before drilling a low shot beyond Ann-Katrin Berger at the German keeper's near post just when penalties were looming Germany themselves came desperately close to snatching victory seconds from the end of the 90. Cata Coll was Spain's hero, though, with the goalkeeper showing incredible reflexes to claw away Elisa Senss' deflected effort and getting back up to deny Carlotta Wamser.

'I know [England] played 120 minutes twice but we knew it would be a long match [against Germany] and it was a long match,' Bonmati said. 'We trust in our squad, we believe in our players - the eleven starters but we have on the bench a lot of players that can do better in the second half and extra-time. 'We have a big squad and we trust in all of them.' Walsh also recognised the depth of Spain's squad, appreciating that stopping Bonmati alone won't be enough. "She's an incredible player, but I think if you try and nullify her, I think Patri's been one of the best players at this tournament," she said. "So you can focus on Aitana and then you've got Patri, and then you've got Alexia [Putellas] and Mariona [Caldentey]. "For us we're not focusing on one player. We know what we can bring defensively and so we're just focusing on what we can do and then obviously we're going to have some chances as well that we need to take."

'Gutted' Darcy Graham issues Lions injury update with 'try again in 4 years' admission
Scotland winger crocked after 16 minutes of Lions debut Sign up to our Rugby Union newsletter – Regular news stories and round-ups from around Scotland direct to your inbox Sign up Thank you for signing up!

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... Darcy Graham has indicated that his Lions tour is over after suffering an injury on his debut. The Edinburgh and Scotland winger is waiting for scan results after sustaining ankle ligament damage early in the match against First Nations & Pasifika XV on Tuesday. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Graham produced a lively start and had already scored a try - his first in Lions colours - when he limped off the pitch in tears in the 16th minute at the Marvel Stadium in Melbourne. The 28-year-old was in some distress and was later seen wearing a protective boot. He was consoled by Scotland team-mate Finn Russell as he watched the remainder of the game from the bench as the Lions held on for a scrappy 24-19 victory. Darcy Graham walks back to the dressing room in a protective boot after picking up an ankle injury during his British & Irish Lions debut against First Nations & Pasifika. (Photo by) | Getty Images Posting on Instagram, Graham stated: "16 minutes I'll never forget. It's been a rollercoaster of a journey but it was a dream come true to pull on the famous red jersey and make my Lions debut. "Gutted it ended the way it did, but so proud to have been part of this special group. Thank you for all the support. We try again in 4 years time..." Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Graham has suffered a string of serious injuries in recent seasons and his club, Edinburgh, will be braced for news of the scan ahead of the new United Rugby Championship season beginning in September. A late call-up to the Lions squad from Scotland's tour of New Zealand as cover for the injured Mack Hansen, Graham will now miss the final two Test matches against Australia. The Lions take on the Wallabies this Saturday at the Melbourne Cricket Ground knowing a win will clinch the three-match series. 'So upsetting for Darcy Graham,' said Lions head coach Andy Farrell. 'It showed how much it meant to him. He has a Lions cap and scored a try and he'll remember that forever.' Getty Images Possible changes for second Test Joe McCarthy is the chief injury concern for Farrell heading into the second Test. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad McCarthy limped off in the 27-19 triumph over the Wallabies in the first Test with the foot condition plantar fasciitis and has been unable to train since, making him a major doubt to be involved in the rematch. With Thursday's training session before Farrell names his team being the final opportunity to prove his fitness, the Ireland enforcer looks likely to miss out. Potentially signposting an adjustment to the pack to face Australia in the second Test, James Ryan and Jac Morgan were replaced early in the second half of Tuesday's 24-19 victory over the First Nations and Pasifika XV. If McCarthy is ruled out, Ollie Chessum could be drafted into the second row alongside captain Maro Itoje, creating a vacancy on the bench, while another option is to move Tadhg Beirne from flanker to lock. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Should repositioning Beirne be Farrell's preferred choice, Morgan becomes a contender to make the matchday 23. Given the Lions bullied the Wallabies at Suncorp Stadium, unenforced changes to the pack are unlikely. Farrell could shake up his back-three, however, after wings James Lowe and Tommy Freeman struggled to make an impact in the series opener. Lowe in particular struggled with the poor finishing which has been a feature of his tour apparent again. Of the four possible options to step in, Graham and Hansen are injured and Duhan van der Merwe has been repeatedly exposed in defence, with only the fourth offering Farrell room for manoeuvre. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The ace up Farrell's sleeve is Blair Kinghorn, who made his comeback from a knee injury on Tuesday and apart from throwing two intercept passes, proved himself ready for Test duty. Nominally a full-back, he is also a high quality option on the wing, the position he has filled most recently for his club Toulouse this season. Owen Farrell showed he is ready for a call-up to the bench in Melbourne if needed with a solid 80 minutes against FNP, Marcus Smith passed a head injury assessment and Garry Ringrose made a successful first appearance since being concussed against ACT Brumbies. In the midst of a schedule of three games in eight days, players have been given Wednesday off, but Farrell and his coaching assistants are to meet to finalise selection. 'I let everyone have their say, I play devil's advocate, we thrash it out and then we all agree,' Farrell said. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'There is all sorts that goes into it – performances, there's no doubt about that – but there is also what's right for this second game? Are a few changes going to freshen it up or do we go with the same guys?
