Best Photos of July 29: From fire-breathing stunts in Ajmer to migrants trying to cross The Channel
1 Joost Luiten produced a memorable hole in one at the par-three fourth in the first round. 2 To date, the only two players to win the PGA Championship after winning the week before are Rory McIlroy (2014 WGC-Bridgestone Invitational) and Tiger Woods (2007, WGC-Bridgestone Invitational). Hideki Matsuyama or Chris Stroud could have made it three. 3 Number of seasons without a major for McIlroy, who finished in a tie for 22nd. 4 Louis Oosthuizen has now finished second in all four of the game's major championships. 5 In the fifth hole of the final round, McIlroy holed his longest putt of the week - from 16ft 8in - for birdie. 6 For the sixth successive year, play was disrupted by bad weather with a delay of one hour and 43 minutes on Friday. 7 Seven under par (64) was the best round of the week, shot by Matsuyama and Francesco Molinari on Day 2. 8 Number of shots taken by Jason Day on the 18th hole in round three after a risky recovery shot backfired. 9 Jon Rahm's age in months the last time Phil Mickelson missed the cut in the US PGA, in 1995. 10 Jimmy Walker's opening round as defending champion was a 10-over-par 81. 11 The par-four 11th coincidentally ranked as the 11th hardest hole overall with a scoring average of 4.192. 12 Paul Casey was a combined 12 under par for his first round in this year's majors. 13 The average world ranking of the last 13 PGA winners before this week was 25. Kevin Kisner began the week ranked 25th. 14 The world ranking of Justin Thomas before his victory. 15 Of the top 15 players after 54 holes, only Oosthuizen had previously won a major. 16 The par-four 16th marks the start of Quail Hollow's so-called "Green Mile" of finishing holes, some of the toughest in golf. 17 The first round scoring average of the last 17 major champions was 67.2. Kisner and Thorbjorn Olesen shot 67 on day one at Quail Hollow. 18 For the first time in 18 majors, the eventual winner was over par after round one (Thomas shot 73).

Ryder Cup countdown: Tension builds as teams take shape and key decisions loom
Let's take a look at some crucial timelines approaching faster than many of us realise, as the countdown is accelerating. In just 58 days, the 45th Ryder Cup will kick off at the iconic Bethpage Black in New York on 26th September 2025. The anticipation is mounting as players and fans alike await the final team line-ups and the dramatic battles that will unfold on the course. With so much still to be decided, now is a perfect time to highlight some key dates and developments that may have flown under the radar as excitement builds for this prestigious biennial contest. It is only 25 days before Team Europe Captain Luke Donald reveals his six automatic qualifiers, and just 18 days before Team USA's Keegan Bradley announces his seven automatic picks — a week earlier than Donald. The crucial Captain's Picks will follow shortly after, with Donald's selections due in the week commencing 1st September, and Bradley's the week of 25th Captain's Agreement Updated A notable recent change involves the Ryder Cup Captain's Agreement, a set of longstanding rules defining what captains, players, and officials can and cannot do during the event. The latest amendment, agreed by both captains, clarifies that only the Captain can give advice, not Vice-Captains—unless there is a Playing Captain actively competing. In that case, the Playing Captain may delegate advice-giving to a nominated Vice-Captain. This tweak has sparked further discussion around Bradley's role as a potential Playing Captain for Team USA, a debate that is expected to continue until the official teams are confirmed. Captain Donald has announced his fourth of five Vice-Captains, adding Francesco Molinari to Edoardo Molinari, Thomas Bjorn, and Jose Maria Olazabal—all veterans of the 2023 event in Rome. The fifth Vice-Captain will be revealed soon. On the U.S. side, the Vice-Captain roster is complete with Jim Furyk, Kevin Kisner, Webb Simpson, Brandt Snedeker, and Gary Woodland. 2031 Ryder Cup heads to Spain In other news, the 2031 Ryder Cup venue has been confirmed as Camiral Golf & Wellness Resort in Girona, Costa Brava, Spain. This will mark Spain's second time hosting the event, following the legendary 1997 competition at Valderrama, which Europe won under Seve Ballesteros. Currently, the European automatic qualifiers for 2025 include Ryder Cup veterans Rory McIlroy, Robert MacIntyre, Tommy Fleetwood, Tyrrell Hatton, Shane Lowry, and Sepp Straka. LIV Golf's Jon Rahm, currently 21st in the rankings, is also expected to make the team. Potential Captain's Picks include Rasmus Hojgaard, Justin Rose, Ludvig Aberg, Viktor Hovland, and Matt Wallace. Other players who could feature in the mix are Matt Fitzpatrick, Thorbjorn Olesen, and Nicolai Hojgaard, with Donald likely favouring experienced Ryder Cup players over rookies. Only time will tell who makes the final cut—but with the key dates rapidly approaching, the answers are just around the corner. The countdown is truly on, and the excitement is palpable.

Northrop and Casey set JGE's Fire Course ablaze in nail-biting Jumeirah Pairs thriller
Jumeirah Golf Estates' Fire course set the stage for a fiercely competitive edition of the Monthly Jumeirah Pairs, sponsored by The Brain & Performance Centre – a DP World Company. Played in a Pairs Shambles format, the competition took place from the Composite Tees for men and the Forward Tees for women. Competition was intense, with a three-way back-nine countback required to determine the podium positions. However, the standout round of the day came from the winning duo of Harry Northrop and Kieran Casey, who triumphed by two strokes after a round of 12 under par, net 60. Their round featured six consecutive birdies on the front nine, as well as a net eagle on the par-4 15th hole. Casey said, 'The condition of the Fire course was superb, and the Jumeirah Golf Estates Agronomy Team should be proud of their efforts this summer. I cannot imagine it has been easy for them in the heat, but they continue, day in and day out, to present us Members with fantastic playing surfaces and a truly prestigious golf course.' Thee-way tie Determining the runners-up was far more contentious, with three pairs tied at 10 under par, net 62 – all delivering impressive performances. After the back-nine, back-six, back-three, and final-hole countbacks, Richard Green and Martin Stewart, as well as Bradley Valentine and Andrew Turnbull, could not be separated and were declared joint runners-up – a tremendously competitive and close finish for both pairings. Commiserations went to the father-son duo of Neil and Charles Gallagher, who also shot 10 under par, net 62, but missed the podium by the narrowest of margins. In the Gross Division, Mark Schoombie and Jacob Wissum delivered a superb performance with their bogey-free round of 66, six under par. The pair claimed victory by two strokes. The on-course competitions, all sponsored by The Brain and Performance Centre, added another layer of excitement to the day. Pin Perfect Half of the Gross-winning pair, Mark Schoombie, won Nearest the Pin on the par-3 8th with a brilliant shot landing just three feet from the hole, setting up partner Wissum for an easy tap-in birdie. Martin Stewart made his way to the stage for the second time in the evening, claiming Nearest the Pin in Two on the 10th. Alan McNamara took home the Nearest the Pin prize on the tricky par-3 14th after a superb tee shot that finished just inches from the hole. Grateful for Support During the prize presentation, Cameron McWhinnie, Assistant Golf Services Manager at Jumeirah Golf Estates, reflected on the day: 'Despite the Dubai summer heat providing a challenge, it is great to see such an attendance for this popular event on the JGE calendar. Special thanks, as always, goes to our sponsor of the Jumeirah Pairs – The Brain & Performance Centre – a DP World Company.'
