The main coverage begins later in the day on USA Network, which can be streamed through FuboTV. Scottie Scheffler put himself in a nice position to compete for his second major title of the year after shooting a 68 on Thursday. At -3, he is only one stroke behind five other players, all at -4. It was a tough day at the office for LIV stars Bryson DeChambeau (+7) and Brooks Koepka (+4), but John Rahm did have himself a decent day, finishing one under par. Rory McIlroy (-1), Xander Schauffele (E), Rickie Fowler (-2), and the legend Phil Mickelson (-1) all kept themselves in the hunt heading into Friday, but there is some work to be done for them to climb up to the top of the leaderboard. Matt Fitzpatrick is one of the players to keep an eye on Friday. He holds a share of the lead and has finished inside the top ten for two consecutive tournaments. After an eighth-place finish at the Rocket Classic, he followed it up with a fourth-place finish at the Genesis Open last week. This is a great PGA Tour event that you will not want to miss; be sure to tune in to catch all the action.

Wimbledon: England's garden Grand Slam
Wimbledon head gardener Martyn Falconer is the only man at the All England Club who welcomes a drop of rain. While wet weather wreaks havoc with the tournament schedule, he is not disappointed with the occasional cloudburst to keep his spectacular flower displays in perfect condition. Falconer oversees the delivery of 27 000 plants for the Championships in leafy southwest London to add to thousands already in place in the immaculate grounds. Wimbledon head gardener Martin Falconer is putting the finishing touches to the grounds ahead of the 2025 tournament © GLYN KIRK / AFP Hydrangeas and petunias in blues, purples and whites tumble over the sides of hanging baskets and window boxes, filling herbaceous borders and floral installations. Roses are scattered throughout the grounds and Boston ivy creeps over the outside walls of Centre Court to create the picture-perfect Grand Slam event. Falconer, who has worked at the All England Club for 25 years, spending 11 years in his current role, says Wimbledon's ethos is 'tennis in an English garden'. He manages a team of 10 permanent gardeners and two apprentices, which expands by around 10 in the lead-up to the tournament, which this year starts on June 30. Falconer's team was this week applying the final tweaks as the club prepares to throw open its doors to thousands of tennis fans from Monday. Wimbledon has a team of 10 permanent gardeners and two apprentices © GLYN KIRK / AFP 'We're making sure it looks lovely and presentable for everyone,' he said. 'It's never-ending. And then from the Monday, once the public are in, we kind of take a little bit of a breath. 'But then every morning it's watering and maintaining and deadheading and just making sure everything looks good for everyone coming on each day.' The horticulture team keeps a stock of spare plants in reserve to replenish those that are damaged by the crowds that swarm the All England Club. A member of Wimbledon's gardening team prunes roses at the All England Club © GLYN KIRK / AFP 'We've got a nice selection of bits and pieces just in case of an accident,' said Falconer. 'We do get a lot of bums sat on the planters. Where there's somewhere to park a bum, they will. 'We've got what we call a Wimbledon twist, so we can get a couple of days out of a hydrangea or a few plants. And then when it gets to the point of no more twisting, we'll do a little swap around.' Falconer's aim is to have the grounds looking as pristine on the final day of the Championships as they do on day one. Tradition plays a big role in the planting colour schemes but there is some room for innovation. Around 27,000 plants are brought in for Wimbledon © GLYN KIRK / AFP 'Obviously we've got our greens and purples and whites, which are very Wimbledon,' he said. 'For us it's more actually about the feel of being in an English garden. So that gives us a greater palette to work with, nothing too garish – we won't go super bright oranges everywhere. But it allows us to bring in all those pastel colours, pinks, yellows.' Hanging baskets at the All England Club © GLYN KIRK / AFP Wimbledon's planting plans are months in the making. 'We can't get them in too late because they grow too much,' said Falconer. 'So we need to do most of that growing here. So the nursery will pot them on, get them started, and then they come to us.' The team is continuously assessing the performances of specific plant varieties but plans are carefully calibrated to make sure the grounds are always saturated with colour. Wimbledon is renowned for its colourful hanging baskets, window boxes and herbaceous borders © GLYN KIRK / AFP 'We have enough variation that there's always something doing something,' said Falconer. 'And hopefully most of it's doing what we want it to do at the right time.' Wimbledon's head gardener said one of the challenges is adapting to a changing climate. There have been weeks of warm, dry weather in the build-up to this year's tournament. 'It's challenging,' said Falconer. 'I'm the only one walking around looking for a little bit of rain I think at Wimbledon.' He and his team might breathe a sigh of relief when the last fan leaves after the two-week tournament, but managing the 42-acre site at the All England Club is a year-round task. Wimbledon aims to create the look of a traditional English garden © GLYN KIRK / AFP 'It's a big site, so there's a lot to do,' he said. 'Pruning, hedge-cutting, mulching, making sure it's good and ready for the springtime.' Despite the pressure, Falconer still gets a buzz from his work even after so many years. 'There's nothing like it,' he said. 'You work to get it delivered and that first day when the public walk through the gate there's a sigh of relief that it's done but then you almost start again.'

Salute to Temba Bavuma, people's champion
Proteas captain Temba Bavuma holds the ICC World Test Championship Mace as he celebrates with teammates after victory on day four of the ICC World Test Championship cricket final match between Australia and South Africa. Image: GLYN KIRK / AFP IN A POST match interview after the test match triumph, national cricket captain Temba Bavuma remarked that he is more than a black cricketer. To be recognized more than a black cricketer is special. Temba Bavuma you are enough. Temba Bavuma you are beyond people's imaginations and inferiority complexes. Temba Bavuma you are a special human being. The national youth commission act of 1996 defines young people in South Africa between the ages of 14 and 35. The youth of 1976 had to struggle and sacrifice for their rights and privileges. We honour their legacy, tenacity and vision. The right and dignity to learn in any language should forever be a platform for destiny and not a platform of destruction. History portrays the 1976 youth protesting for equality and freedom. As a young person Temba Bavuma had to similarly protest through his cricket ability for the God given right to shine. Despite the trappings and limitations bestowed upon him directly and indirectly by society and the racial legacy of apartheid, Bavuma stood tall with hope arising evermore. The truth however is that there are many Temba Bavumas still fighting, protesting quietly waiting, working, dreaming for their moment. Let us not be the barriers that limit the potential of young people who are more than ready to shine under the African sun. History cannot repeat itself. The youth of 1976 fought for better. The youth of 1976 died so that freedom can not only be imagined but lived. Video Player is loading.

Tottenham Hotspur's Welsh striker #22 Brennan Johnson celebrates after scoring their second goal during the English Premier League football match between Tottenham Hotspur and Brentford at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, on September 21, 2024. More GLYN KIRK/AFP via Getty Images How to Watch Tottenham Hotspur vs Bodo/Glimt: Date: Thursday, May 1, 2025 Time: 3:00 PM ET Channel: CBSSN Stream: FuboTV (TRY FOR FREE) Tottenham Hotspur and Bodo/Glimt will take the pitch on Thursday, May 1st, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in this UEFA Europa League clash. This is the first leg of the semifinals, as both clubs look to inch closer to the championship match. Tottenham will have the home advantage as they look to win their first Europa League title since 1984. They have had a rough go during Premier League play this season, with an 11-4-16 record. They are sixteenth in the standings, despite having a positive goal differential, so they should demonstrate that they are better than their record indicates in this one. Bodo/Glimt enters as the underdog in this first leg, but if they can at least hold it to a draw on the road, they will be in a decent position to pull off the upset at home. Kasper Waarst Hogh will have to come up big in this one, and he is on fire right now, having scored two goals in his last match. This is a great UEFA Europa League match.
