The Masters 2019: Tiger Woods battles back into contention despite bad weather and security guard collision

A badly-timed weather delay and even a bizarre sliding tackle from a security guard failed to prevent Tiger Woods from surging into contention for a 15th major title on a sensational second day of the 83rd Masters.


Woods had just recorded the first birdie of the day on the daunting 11th hole and fired a superb tee shot to five feet on the 12th when the siren sounded to suspend play due to the threat of lightning at Augusta National.

After a delay of around 30 minutes play was able to resume and Woods missed the birdie attempt, but did pick up a shot on the 14th in extraordinary circumstances a few minutes later.


For the second day running Woods pulled off a superb recovery shot from the trees on the par four, only for a security guard to run in to try to control the crowd, slip on the wet ground and slide knee-first into Woods’s right ankle.


Woods limped away grimacing in pain but there appeared to be no lasting damage and after holing from 15 feet, the 43-year-old also converted from twice the distance on the par-five 15th.


Further good chances went begging on the 17th and 18th but a 68 left Woods just one shot off the lead shared by Francesco Molinari, Jason Day, Brooks Koepka, Adam Scott and Louis Oosthuizen, all current or former major champions.















Former world number one Dustin Johnson, South African debutant Jason Harding and Xander Schauffele were alongside Woods on six under, Schauffele carding the lowest score of the week with a superb 65.


Ryder Cup team-mates Ian Poulter and Jon Rahm were two shots off the pace on five under, while Rory McIlroy kept his hopes of the career grand slam alive with a 71 to finish level par.


Molinari had to wear a white boilersuit on his first visit to the Masters as caddie for his brother Edoardo, but put himself in position to leave this time with a coveted green jacket thanks to a flawless 67.


“I didn’t learn much about the course because we were going sideways most of the time,” Molinari joked in reference to Edoardo shooting rounds of 80 and 77 to comfortably miss the cut.

Molinari made his debut as a player in 2010 and recorded his best finish to date with a tie for 19th in 2012, but came into the event on the back of a stellar 12 months.


The 36-year-old has won four times since last year’s Masters, including the Open Championship at Carnoustie, while he also became the first European player to earn a perfect 5-0 record in the Ryder Cup in Paris.


Beginning the day four shots off the lead, Molinari birdied the third, eighth and ninth to reach the turn in 33 and picked up further shots on the 12th and 15th before a superb two-putt from 75 feet for par on the last.


“It was good, pretty solid, not many mistakes and when I missed greens I missed them on the good side, leaving myself pretty easy up and downs so all in all a very good day,” Molinari said.

“Now I’m just going to rest. The game is in good shape so I don’t think I can gain much from hitting balls. Just get as much energy as possible for the weekend. There’s going to be a lot of players in the mix and a very long way to go.”

Poulter enjoyed a massive slice of luck when his approach to the 13th stuck in the bank of Rae’s Creek and allowed him to chip and putt for an unlikely birdie, but added: “I’m a little frustrated with a couple of missed opportunities towards the end there.


“But it’s on the board and I am in position and it’s going to be a good weekend. There’s a long way to go and if you put yourself in position with nine to go the course opens up. As long as I am there or thereabouts and try to be super aggressive who knows what can happen.”


World number one Justin Rose missed the cut for the first time in 14 appearances after a 73, but Jordan Spieth recovered from an opening 75 to make the weekend thanks to a 68.

Tottenham vs Huddersfield: Heung-Min Son rested and Fernando Llorente stars in heavily rotated Spurs side

Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has named a heavily rotated team to face Huddersfield Town in the Premier League.


Once again at their new stadium, Spurs have to do without Dele Alli and Harry Kane who were both injured in their Champions League win over Manchester City.

Match-winner Heung-Min Son is only given a place on the bench, presumably rested for the second leg of their European quarter-final.


This means Fernando Llorente is given the nod up top, with Lucas Moura also finding a place in the XI.


Victor Wanyama makes a rare start along with Kyle Walker-Peters, who will play at right wing-back.


Pochettino has also decided on a back-three, as he has done previously against the Terriers, with Juan Foyth and Davinson Sanchez coming into the team and Toby Alderweireld dropping out.















Their opposition, meanwhile, are without Philip Billing, who is set to be out for the rest of the campaign ahead of a transfer. Aaron Mooy is on the bench for the clash. Goalkeeper Ben Hamer starts again too

Montenegro manager Ljubisa Tumbakovic claims he did not hear racist chanting in their match against England on Monday.


The Three Lions came from behind to beat Montenegro 5-1 thanks to goals from Michael Keane, Raheem Sterling, Harry Kane and a Ross Barkley brace.

However, the game was marred by alleged racist chants directed at Danny Rose and Callum Hudson-Odoi.


Rose appeared to be a target of the home supporters after he was booked late on, while Hudson-Odoi claimed he heard monkey noises being made.


Sterling, who scored England̢۪s final goal and celebrated by cupping his ears to the home crowd, wants teams who are found guilty of racial abuse to play behind closed doors.

“First of all, I don’t see the reason why I should comment on that.


“Second, I haven’t heard anything.

The Three Lions boss confirmed the Football Association will report the incident to UEFA. 


He said: â€Å“I definitely heard abuse at Danny Rose when he got booked at the end of the game. We’ll make sure that’s reported officially. It’s not acceptable.















â€Å“There’s no doubt in my mind that it happened and it will be reported officially. I don’t want to speculate but I know what I heard.


â€Å“I’m not sure yet [whether others were abused]. I had a quick chat with Danny but I’ve not had a chance to speak to Raheem yet.


â€Å“I know what I heard, and we’ll definitely deal with it the right way. We’ve got to make sure we support our players.”

Notts County latest: League Two strugglers have winding-up petition adjourned to complete sale

League Two strugglers Notts County have been given time to complete the sale of the club after a winding-up petition was adjourned by the High Court until June 5.


Magpies owner Alan Hardy announced last week he was close to selling the club, who owe HM Revenue and Customs £200,000 in unpaid taxes.

“We have been given until June 5 to settle our debt to HMRC,” the Sky Bet League Two club said on Twitter.


“At a High Court hearing (on Wednesday), the judge adjourned the case in order to allow sufficient time for the takeover of the club to be completed.”


Hardy saved County from possible extinction in January 2017 when he bought out predecessor Ray Trew, but put the club up for sale in January this year.















Hardy’s company Paragon Interiors went into administration, but he confirmed last week that he hoped prospective new owners would be able to take County forward after completing due diligence.


Hardy said last week he expected the outstanding HMRC debt to be paid in full by early May.

Football: Chelsea face partial stadium closure over alleged racist chanting by fans as Uefa opens case

LONDON (THE GUARDIAN, AFP) - Chelsea face the partial closure of Stamford Bridge in the Europa League after Uefa opened disciplinary proceedings over allegations that their travelling supporters engaged in racist chanting during the draw at Vidi last month.
The European football governing body announced on Tuesday (Jan 15) that, based on the report submitted by its ethics and disciplinary inspector who had investigated incidents at the group-stage fixture in Budapest, proceedings had been instigated against Chelsea.
Uefa's control, ethics and disciplinary body will deal with the case at its next meeting, on Feb 28.
Its regulations state that, if supporters are found guilty of behaviour "that insults the human dignity of a person or group of persons on whatever grounds, including skin colour, race, religion or ethnic origin", the minimum punishment is the partial closure of their home stadium in a subsequent fixture.
Chelsea host the second leg of their round-of-32 tie with the Swedish club, Malmo, on Feb 21, meaning any sanction would be implemented either in the last 16 or, if they have been eliminated, when the London club next feature in the competition.
This would be Chelsea's first offence, and a second incident would see them forced to play a match behind closed doors.
The club publicly condemned the chants - an anti-Tottenham Hotspur (who have a large Jewish fan base) song which was heard in the opening three minutes - in the immediate aftermath of the 2-2 draw at the Groupama Arena.
They have endeavoured to identify those in the 1,273 away support involved with a view to imposing bans from Stamford Bridge, as well as offering anyone found guilty the chance to enter an educational programme in a bid to learn why the chant is so offensive.
The club, whose owner Roman Abramovich is Jewish, launched its Say No to Antisemitism campaign a year ago to raise awareness and educate about anti-semitism in football.
The chairman, Bruce Buck, has since published an open letter to supporters condemning the actions of a "mindless" minority and vowing not to rest "until we have eliminated all forms of discrimination from our club", adding: "If you do not share these values, this is not the club for you."
Chelsea have already been dogged by accusations of fan racism in recent weeks, with four supporters banned pending an investigation into alleged racist insults directed at Raheem Sterling during the Blues' 2-0 win over English Premier League champions Manchester City in early December.
Chelsea coach Maurizio Sarri said the club were in a "fight against stupid people" following further allegations of racism by supporters in the away end during his side's 2-1 win at Watford on Boxing Day.

One shirtless fan climbed some scaffolding and proceeded to open a can of beer and sprayed it in the air.


A video posted by the club̢۪s Twitter account shows a sea of Ajax fans in the centre of the city enjoying the sights ahead of the semi-final match.





One Tottenham fan even had his shirt vandalised by a visiting supporter while he was sleeping.


The Ajax fan drew an Amsterdam coat of arms on his Spurs shirt and turned the AIA sponsors logo into Ajax.





The police are reportedly on high alert, according to The Sun, as Ajax fans have a reputation for causing trouble at big games.


Before their quarter-final with Juventus, 54 Ultras were arrested before kick-off and were found in possession of knuckle-dusters, mouth guards and pyrotechnics.















The supporters all appear to be in good spirit in London, though, ahead of the first leg at the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
