7:32 pm
just as the rain and the wind stops, and the sun comes out, lydia ko has just been presented with the women's open trophy here at st andrews. just two weeks after winning the olympic gold medal in paris, she has won this major at the home of golf stop this major at the home of golf stop this is her third major, but there has been eight years since her second one and her third one. she was asked what she was more happy about come on winning the olympic gold medal two weeks ago are winning this major? she said it was like asking her whether she liked her mother better or her father better, so very much a sense of humour there. there were a few tense moments for the new zealander, because once she had finished her round on 7—under parfor the tournament, and that was after she had birdied the 18th, she had to wait and watch as some of the other contenders came in and finish their rounds. lydia ko was on the practice green, keeping her in, keeping warm,
7:33 pm
knowing there could be a potential play—off. she had birdied the 18th to finish one shot clear of the rest of the field, but the defending champion, lillia vu, and the overnight leader, jiyai shin, both were in contention. they had a chance of equalling her score to force a play—off. the overnight leader, jiyai shin, was on 5—under with two holes to go, but dropped a shot on the 17th. that put her out of contention. lillia vu was a different matter. on 6—under a she came down the 18th fairway, she won at walton heath last year, and displayed very consistently for all of those days. she had a putt for birdie, and stick it to a play—off, but shejust came birdie, and stick it to a play—off, but she just came up short. at that moment, lydia ko knew she had won. cheers went up, and she was ecstatic, as you can imagine. her first major in eight years. for a while, it had looked as though the world number one, nelly korda, was going to take this final women's
7:34 pm
major of the year. she had back to back birdies on the ninth and tenth, and at that point, she was two shots clear of the rest of the field, top of the leaderboard on 8—under. then disaster. she double bogeyed the 14th, disaster. she double bogeyed the 1ath, dropping two shots, and then bogeyed the 17th, so she was down to 5—under. the normally calm and unflappable nelly korda that got into difficulties, and at that point really threw away the championship. there was a really nice moment as she called on lydia ko and hugged her to say congratulations. we must mention that england's lottie woad won the amateur event. she finished on 1—underfor the won the amateur event. she finished on 1—under for the tournament. she is absolutely one to watch for the future. this is undoubtedly lydia ko�*s bay, winning the last women's major of the year, just two weeks after she won the olympic gold in paris and eight years after winning her second major. a phenomenal
7:35 pm
achievement for her, just as the sun comes out after battling through four days of wind and rain here at the old course in st andrews. lydia ko is the women's open champion. chain, enjoy the sunshine. let's move on to today's premier league action. three matches this afternoon. we'll hear more about a dramatic finish at bournemouth, and a thumping win for chelsea in just a moment, but let's start at anfield where liverpool have seen off the challenge of brentford in what was arne slot�*s first home match in charge of the reds. joe lynskey was watching. the first time in nine years, a league match at anfield with a home coach isn'tjuergen klopp. the gap left byjuergen is filled by arne slot, who comes with new ideas but with so much to build on. this breakaway against brentford was when the former coach would be proud of. the first home goal for the new
7:36 pm
coach scored by luis diaz. as yet, arne slot has not yet seen a new signing arrived. there are parts you can improve in defence. and up top. diogojota stopped by a lunch at the back stop luis diaz's transfer second was tipped round the post. perhaps most important for liverpool is who stayed. commentator: mohamed salah! immaculate! _ is who stayed. commentator: mohamed salah! immaculate! huge— is who stayed. commentator: mohamed salah! immaculate! huge offers _ is who stayed. commentator: mohamed salah! immaculate! huge offers from - salah! immaculate! huge offers from saudi arabia have _ salah! immaculate! huge offers from saudi arabia have not _ salah! immaculate! huge offers from saudi arabia have not changed - salah! immaculate! huge offers from saudi arabia have not changed the i saudi arabia have not changed the chance to make stance on mohamed salah. still in the red of liverpool, still hard to stop in front of goal. so far for the dutchman, it is two wins and few problems, but in a week's time, the pressure goes up a notch. it is manchester united at old trafford next sunday. to manchester united at old trafford next sunday-— next sunday. to get a great start like this, you — next sunday. to get a great start like this, you have _ next sunday. to get a great start like this, you have to _ next sunday. to get a great start like this, you have to work - next sunday. to get a great start like this, you have to work really| like this, you have to work really hard, and that is what the boy is dead. they kept working really hard without the ball, we started playing better and better and better during
7:37 pm
the second half, which led to many good chances was not the only thing we didn't do is kill the game earlier. —— that is what the boys did. to the vitality stadium then, where newcastle clung on to a point thanks to a very late var decision that left bournemouth furious. it ended 1—1 but that is far from the full story, as nesta mcgregor reports. but are always special. for bournemouth, it was a big one. 125 years since they were formed. special guests of the party were newcastle united, and it was the home side with the first meaningful shot. the curling effort crashed against the bar, a warning sign. not long after, so was the opening goal. marcus tavernier, party now in full swing. into the second half, newcastle needed fresh legs and fresh ideas. harvey barnes provided both. first, the substitute crossed
7:38 pm
byjoelinton's header was well saved. less than two minutes later, barnes, in a similar position, and almost identical delivery with a different outcome. newcastle's player of the season last year anthony gordon in the right place with the right time. with the game looking for a winner, bournemouth�*s when you're rose to the occasion. cuejubilation, though when you're rose to the occasion. cue jubilation, though var soon turned party people. handball the decision. sharing is caring, and on bournemouth�*s big anniversary, a point apiece. it is bournemouth's big anniversary, a point apiece-— bournemouth's big anniversary, a point apiece. it is so obvious what ha--ened point apiece. it is so obvious what happened today. _ point apiece. it is so obvious what happened today. i _ point apiece. it is so obvious what happened today, i think— point apiece. it is so obvious what happened today, i think everyone | point apiece. it is so obvious what - happened today, i think everyone who watched the game would agree, no? the shoulder, the ball never touches the skin, let's say, and the factors, it doesn't touch the arm. it is a shoulder and it is a clear goal, three points for us, and you

take two points from us. pramac bournemouth may have a different perspective, but i think from ours we controlled the early part of the game, lost control of that until the substitutions, and then i think the game _ substitutions, and then i think the game is _ substitutions, and then i think the game is ours stop not totally, because — game is ours stop not totally, because they are a dangerous team in the cosmos _ because they are a dangerous team in the cosmos province of the quick attacks, — the cosmos province of the quick attacks, but i think we had chances to score _ attacks, but i think we had chances to score may be more than one. i think_ to score may be more than one. i think the — to score may be more than one. i think the score is probably fair. one other game in the premier league today. at molineux, chelsea managed to block out all the transfer noise surrounding their squad to put six past wolves for their first win of the season. star of the show was noni madueke with a second half hat—trick after the two sides had gone into the break all square at 2—2. although cole palmer will share top billing. he assisted all of madueke's goals as well as getting himself on the scoresheet. the enzo maresca era is up and running. properly in the second half we
7:40 pm
change something. it was much better. the intention in the first half also was good, but we lost four or five easy balls and conceded set pieces or counterattacks, and when you lose the ball, you lose a bit of confidence, and that second half was completely different. we didn't lose any easy balls, and we are in control of the game. one match in the championship today, an all—welsh clash with swansea city at home to cardiff. liam cullen opened the scoring for the hosts after 10 minutes, reacting quickest to ethan horvath's save. that was before irish international callum robinson equalised for cardiff's first league goal of the season and theirfirst point. 1—1 the final score. celtic made it three wins from three at the start of their scottish premiership campaign, with victory at st mirren this afternoon. brendan rodgers' side took an early lead through captain callum mcgregor�*s long—range strike, before reo hatate — who picked up the player of the match award — was given the space to double it. alistairjohnston made it 3—0,
7:41 pm
putting celtic back at the top of the table ahead of aberdeen on goal difference. aberdeen hosted kilmarnock, beating them 2—0 to continue their winning run and moving them to 9 points. elsewhere, motherwell beat hearts at home by three goals to one. let's have a quick look at some of the other stories making the headlines today. armand duplantis broke his own pole vault world record for the tenth time. the swede cleared the mark of 6.26m in his second attempt at the height at the silesia diamond league in poland on sunday. it comes three weeks after setting his previous record at the paris olympics en route to the gold medal. records have been tumbling in poland, jakob ingebrigtsen shattering the long—standing 3,000 metres world record by more than 3 seconds. the 23—year—old norwegian bettering danil komen's time set in 1996. adam yates has taken stage 9
