GOLF
Padraig Harrington faces an uphill struggle to make the cut at The Barclays in New Jersey.
An opening round 73 leaves the Dubliner on +3.
He is however, a shot better off than Masters and US Open champion Jordan Spieth who opened with a 74.
Three Americans and a Colombian head the field - Bubba Watson, Spencer Levin, Tony Finau and Camilo Villegas jointly lead on 5-under.
On the European Tour, Michael Hoey begins day two of the Czech Masters just two shots off the lead. The Ballymoney golfer tees off just before midday from -5.
Renato Paratore and Thomas Pieters are joint leaders on -7.
GAELIC GAMES
Kildare must begin the hunt for a new football manager following last night's resignation of Jason Ryan.
The former Wexford manager steps down after two years in charge.
A mixed 2015 saw the Lilywhites relegated to Division Three, before a Championship win over Cork was offset by heavy defeats to Dublin and Kerry.
Ryan's departure means that both the footballers and hurlers of Kildare are without managers.
There was one appointment in Leinster last night, with Denis Connerton confirmed to succeed Jack Sheedy as Longford football manager.
