Let's begin quickly this morning once again, as golfers across the ocean are on the course as we speak. You can catch the latest on our Open Championship Round 2 live blog. But yesterday's opener had plenty of interesting tidbits: The definite winner this weekend in Ireland? Open Radio, which has listeners from everywhere from on-course fans to Hawaii. Tune in! It is ironic how big of a deal Olivia Smith has been this week. The 20-year-old Canadian national player officially signed with Arsenal yesterday after the Women's Super League club forked over a $1.34 million transfer fee to Liverpool. It's the largest women's transfer fee in history. But if you know Smith, as Megan Feringa (who owned coverage of the story this week) detailed Wednesday with Art de Roché, privacy is desperately important to Smith and her circle. Now she has a global record to her name. Smith is a marvel. Three touchpoints: There are plenty more interesting nuggets in Megan and Art's inside story of how Smith got to Arsenal, which was quite a clandestine operation. Let's keep moving: Dame Time returns to PT Damian Lillard is heading back to Portland on a three-year, $45 million deal, a source confirmed to The Athletic. It's a heartwarming yet strange homecoming for Lillard, who left in a trade to Milwaukee two years ago at the height of his career. He returns to the team he led for 11 years, older and injured after two disastrous seasons with the Bucks. It could still be a storybook ending to Lillard's career. Advertisement Clark to miss ASG Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark will not play in tomorrow's WNBA All-Star Game, she announced yesterday, a blow for the much-hyped event happening in Indianapolis. Clark suffered a groin injury in the final seconds of Indiana's win over Connecticut on Tuesday. Her absence will cast a shadow over the festivities, as Ben Pickman wrote. T.J. Watt is very rich The Steelers and star rusher T.J. Watt agreed to a three-year, $123 million extension yesterday, our Dianna Russini reports, making Watt the NFL's highest-paid non-quarterback. The contract has been an issue all offseason, as Watt skipped voluntary OTAs and mandatory minicamp due to the situation. He's worth the money. More news 📫 Love The Pulse?

American midfielder Tillman joins Leverkusen from PSV
The 23-year-old attacking midfielder, who was born in Nuremberg, has signed a five-year deal until June 30, 2030. The club has not given details of a transfer fee but media reports put it at 40 million euros ($47 million) which would equal the club record paid for Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah earlier this month. Tillman joined PSV, initially on loan, from Bayern Munich in 2023 and last season scored 16 goals and provided five assists in 34 games for PSV. "In Malik Tillman we have gained another player who has great ability and is very dangerous in front of goal," said Leverkusen sporting director Simon Rolfes. "He can play in midfield either as a number 10 or as a number 8. Malik is an absolute top signing for us." Tillman, who also spent a year on loan at Rangers in Scotland, won back-to-back titles in the Eredivisie but he now has his sights set on winning the Bundesliga. "I want to win something. That was my aim in Glasgow and in Eindhoven and it remains my aim here," he said. Tillman made 21 appearances for several Germany age-group teams before deciding to play for the USA in 2022, most recently in the Gold Cup final defeat by Mexico.

Lauren Hemp hails first £1m transfer fee as ‘proof women's footballers are great'
The England winger Lauren Hemp says the women's game being on the verge of its first £1m transfer fee is good for the sport and 'proof women's footballers are great'. The Guardian revealed on Thursday that Liverpool had accepted a £1m offer from Arsenal for the Canada forward Olivia Smith, which would break the seven-figure barrier 46 years after the men's game got its first £1m deal, when Nottingham Forest signed Trevor Francis from Birmingham City. Hemp was speaking from England's hotel base in Zurich as they prepare to meet Wales in Group D at Euro 2025 on Sunday, and although the Manchester City player admitted the Lionesses had not been fully up to date with transfer news while focusing on this tournament, she reacted positively to the landmark fee. 'It's the direction the women's game is going in, and it's great to see,' Hemp said. 'As players, we're sort of in a bit of a [tournament] bubble at the moment, so we're not really seeing much of that [news], we're just focusing on the tournament. 'But it is great to see and it's proof that women's footballers are great, and that is the way that game is going, so long may that continue.' Smith is poised to join Arsenal after their Women's Champions League triumph and the Lionesses have the defence of their own European crown firmly in their sights, after their confidence-boosting 4-0 victory over the Netherlands on Wednesday. An England win on Sunday in St Gallen would guarantee a place in the quarter-finals, while Wales must beat England by at least four goals and hope France beat the Netherlands. The major-tournament debutants have lost both matches but Hemp is wary of complacency. 'It's a great rivalry,' Hemp said, 'and these are the games you want to be involved in … It's a derby, we want to win, end of. We're going to do whatever we can to do that. It's going to be a really tough match. We've got so much respect for Wales.' The Lionesses' chances of going through were greatly enhanced by their much-improved performance against the Netherlands. 'That just proves when this team are at their best what we can achieve,' Hemp said. 'That has shown confidence in everyone, everyone played to their strengths, everyone did their job and did it really well.

Everyone was calm, relaxed and we knew what job we needed to do. It didn't scare anyone and you definitely didn't see [anyone scared] on the pitch. It made everyone excited and it made the fans excited hopefully from that performance we put in and that is the England we want to show every single game we play. 'We've felt that [France] loss, we've felt it as a team, and we've tried to turn it around and we have done, and looking back on the last game, how well we've done, we're hoping to take that momentum into the next … I think everyone is just so positive and so confident and, when this team is like that, we play really well.'

List of most expensive soccer signings in history
Florian Wirtz became one of the most expensive players in soccer history when the Germany playmaker joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen on Friday for a fee of up to 116 million pounds ($156 million). Neymar : $262 million (222 million euros) Paris Saint-Germain shattered the world-record transfer fee by signing the Brazil superstar from Barcelona in August 2017. It was more than double the outlay of Manchester United to sign Paul Pogba from Juventus for $116 million a year earlier. It remains the record transfer fee.
