Gooch builds big LIV Golf lead as Aussies battle
Talor Gooch has excelled during a long day on the course at LIV Golf Andalucia, claiming a four-shot lead heading into the final round at Sotogrande, Spain. Gooch shot a five-under par 66 after returning early on Saturday to complete the final eight holes of an opening 70 that had been interrupted by high winds on Friday. Seeking a fourth LIV Golf title, he is at seven-under 135 after mixing seven birdies and two bogeys in the second round at the Real Club Valderrama. Fellow American Dustin Johnson fired a sizzling second-round 64 to be the closest challenger, with Branden Grace (71) a shot further back, while Jinichiro Kozuma (68), Jon Rahm (70) and Patrick Reed (71) were tied fourth at one under. Australian major winner Cameron Smith went backwards with a 74 to be tied seventh, seven shots behind Gooch. It's not been a good tournament for Smith's all-Australian Ripper team. They were sitting tied last in the team competition at 19 over. Matt Jones shot 71 to be the next best Aussie at two over followed by Lucas Herbert (six over T45th) and Marc Leishman 11 over and last in the 54-player field. Gooch is looking to repeat his win at Andalucia in 2023. "It prepares you for these moments when they come up again," Gooch said of his experience at the event. "Having done it here at this course already, it's beneficial. Hopefully we can go get it done again tomorrow." Last year, Spain's Sergio Garcia came from seven strokes back to win LIV Golf Andalucia in a playoff. Another Spaniard, Rahm, is hoping to repeat the feat in front of a supportive home crowd. "It means the world. It also feels a little heavier on you when you make mistakes or don't take advantage of the ones that could have been," Rahm said of the backing from the fans. "I'm not only upset for myself but I'm a little bit upset for them as well that I'm not going to have a better chance tomorrow." Johnson, who is winless so far this season on the LIV circuit, was pleased with his second round fightback. "Pretty much when you shoot that score around here, everything is working pretty well," he said. On the team front, Johnson's strong round propelled his 4Aces into the lead. They stand at 2-over, with Gooch's Smash GC -- captained by Brooks Koepka -- at 3-over.

West Coast premiership hero Jeremy McGovern forced into sad retirement
West Coast star Jeremy McGovern has been forced into AFL retirement. McGovern has been sidelined since being knocked out in a game almost seven weeks ago, having failed to progress through the league's return-to-play protocols. The 33-year-old was referred to the league's concussion panel, which ultimately decided to end his career, as revealed by chief AFL reporter Mitch Cleary. McGovern will go down as one of the greatest defenders of the modern era. Taken with pick No.44 in the 2011 rookie draft, McGovern went on to play 197 games, make five all-Australian teams, win a best and fairest and play in the 2018 premiership. 'It's been an absolute honour to pull on the West Coast jumper for the past 15 years and it's something that I will forever be grateful for,' McGovern said. 'As much as this isn't the way I would have liked to go out, I respect the decision. 'I'm gutted I don't get to pull the jumper on and run out one more time, but sometimes this is the way the game goes, and I am forever grateful to the West Coast supporters who have also shown me love and respect. 'I would like to thank everyone who has been involved with my career over the journey. 'My family – Mum and Dad, my brother Mitch, my wife Madi and my three kids Hudson, Marlee and Lewie – have been my biggest supporters, as well as my friends who have been amazing through my whole time in the AFL. 'To the Club, I can't explain how much you have given me over my time here and I can't thank you enough for drafting a fat kid from Albany and giving him a crack. 'I've always loved the game and winning a premiership is every kid's dream, but the lifelong friendships and relationships you build through footy mean more to me than anything. 'I will forever be indebted to West Coast and I will always bleed blue and gold.' His performance in the 2018 grand final win over Collingwood was the stuff of legends. The defender suffered internal bleeding following a corkie in the preliminary final and spent time in hospital, barely training before the MCG decider. Yet there he was with minutes remaining on the last Saturday in September. McGovern took the mark that propelled West Coast from the wrong end of the ground, leading to Dom Sheed's famous match-winning goal. He becomes the latest player to be forced into medical retirement. Collingwood pair Nathan Murphy and Josh Carmichael, Melbourne fan-favourite Angus Brayshaw and young Bulldog Aidan O'Driscoll have all been forced into medical retirement, along with former Eagles Daniel Venables and Brad Sheppard.

Get creative with three Vietnamese recipes by Melbourne based chef, Thi Li
I love really retro desserts, particularly those that involve ice-creams, custards and jelly. This dessert is a throwback to ones I used to regularly enjoy at an all-Australian family's house, involving tinned fruits, custards and a healthy splash of Cointreau. This dessert is all at once cold and warming, with
