Ayora hits front as List keeps within striking distance
Angel Ayora has shot a bogey-free round of 65 to put himself top of the leaderboard after day two of the Italian Open while Australia's Danny List remains firmly in contention. Englishman Dan Bradbury held the clubhouse lead heading into the second day, but he sits a shot behind in a tie for second despite going two under par for the day. Ghana-born List, meanwhile, who is in his first year on the tour, followed up an opening-round 68 with a 67 on Friday to leave himself four shots off the lead. Ayora was two shots behind the leader coming into the second day in Monte Argentario and after the 20-year-old started with eight straight pars, he holed four successive birdies from the ninth to reach nine under. Bradbury's day got off to the worst possible start as he double bogeyed the first, but he recovered with five birdies, along with another dropped shot, to remain in contention. Sitting in second alongside Bradbury at eight under were the trio of Martin Couvra, Andreas Halvorsen and Marcel Schneider. Frenchman Couvra fired the lowest round of the day, hitting eight birdies and a bogey in his 63 to sit in the chasing pack behind Ayora. Adrien Saddier is alone in sixth after he produced his lowest round of season so far with a six-under 64 to catapult his way into contention for a maiden DP World Tour win. Spanish pair Ivan Cantero and Eugenio Lopez-Chacarra, and Italian Francesco Laporta are all tied in seventh on six under par. Australia's David Micheluzzi carded a 69 to be three under and six shots off the front. Elvis Smylie is two over and Jason Scrivener a further shot adrift.

Angel Ayora one clear of the field at the Italian Open; Conor Purcell misses the cut
Angel Ayora shot a bogey-free round of 65 to put himself atop of the leaderboard after day two of the Italian Open, with Ireland's Conor Purcell missing the cut. Englishman Dan Bradbury held the clubhouse lead heading into the second day, but he sits a shot behind in a tie for second despite going two under par for the day. Ayora was two shots behind the leader coming into the second day in Monte Argentario and after the 20-year-old started with eight straight pars, he holed four successive birdies from the ninth to reach nine under. Bradbury's day got off to the worst possible start as he double bogeyed the first, but he recovered with five birdies, along with another dropped shot, to remain in contention on Saturday. A triple-bogey eight on 12 would ultimately prove costly for Dubliner Purcell at the Argentario Golf Club. His round of 74 left him at four over, two shots beyond the cut mark. Sitting in second alongside Bradbury at eight under were the trio of Martin Couvra, Andreas Halvorsen and Marcel Schneider. Frenchman Couvra fired the lowest round of the day, hitting eight birdies and a bogey in his 63 to sit in the chasing pack behind Ayora. Adrien Saddier is sitting alone in sixth after he produced his lowest round of season so far with a six-under 64 to catapult his way into contention for a maiden DP World Tour win.

Tennis-Injured Hurkacz withdraws from Wimbledon
FILE PHOTO: Tennis - Italian Open - Foro Italico, Rome, Italy - May 15, 2025 Poland's Hubert Hurkacz in action during his quarter final match against Tommy Paul of the U.S. REUTERS/Aleksandra Szmigiel (Reuters) -Poland's Hubert Hurkacz has been forced to withdraw from Wimbledon after failing to recover from surgery, the former world number six said on Friday. Hurkacz has not played since he withdrew from the Libema Open earlier this month due to a lower back injury, with the tournament's fifth seed forced to take two medical timeouts in a first-round victory before he withdrew. Hurkacz also underwent meniscus surgery on his right knee after retiring from his second-round match at Wimbledon last year, where he was the seventh seed, forcing him to skip the Olympics as well. "Together with my team, I've made the decision to withdraw from this year's Wimbledon," Hurkacz said in a statement. "During preparations, my body reacted – synovial membrane irritation – which is part of the recovery process from my surgery. It needs rest and treatment, and I need to listen to my body." The Wimbledon draw was made earlier on Friday and Hurkacz was set to play Briton Billy Harris in the first round of the grasscourt Grand Slam, which begins on Monday.
