tasty stuff there from the texan. the accolades have been pouring in for the open champion since he becamejust the 12th player in history to win three of golf‘s four majors. golfing legend gary player says he believesjordan spieth may be the best putter he's ever seen. player's views chime with those of eight—time major winner tom watson who believes one of spieth‘s secrets to his success is that he plays with both his heart and his head. at 13, he looks like he is going to go down, maybe one, two, three shots. after losing a lead like that, very rarely does anybody come back. but then he made a sensational bogey, and then it was off to the races. he is a great shot at 1a, 15 goes for eagle, 16, 17, nothing but net for about eight or ten feet but although he paid to his strengths, the most important thing is right here, right here. and everybody understands that. to do it he has

done, and for tom, who is a eight—time champion, you have to haveit eight—time champion, you have to have it here, but you have to have it here. and not many people are gifted. it is a divine gift. i believe. we'll have a different way of looking at. but you know what? golf, and we are of hearing commentators, parents, and friends, isa my commentators, parents, and friends, is a my son, this professional, this is a my son, this professional, this isa is a my son, this professional, this is a professional for the future. —— superstar for the future. but i think this man might be the greatest putter ihat ever seen. —— that i have. following england's victory in the women's cricket world cup where they saw off india in an enthralling final, captain heather knight says she would be in favour of a new women's league in india, perhaps to mirror the men's ipl. knight also wants more international fixtures, be they test cricket, or one day games.
1:52 am
i guess it is getting more girls involved in the game and having that bigger talent pool in this country and in all the other countries. if that means an ipl, then potentially that means an ipl, then potentially that will help growth in india. but i would like to play more international cricket and have more competitive series, and that is how we develop and grow as players and keep women's cricket in the spotlight. but as they get more people playing the game and improve the grassroots and get more money into the game, which is important to bring people through the system. swimming, now. katinka hosszu defended her women's 200m individual medley title in front of her home crowd at the world aquatics championships in budapest. hosszu retained the gold medal with japan's yui 0hashi almost a second behind in silver, and madisyn cox of the united states completing the podium. elsewhere britain's adam peaty defended his 100m breastroke title. the olympic champion set a new world championship record which means the 22—year—old now holds the top 10 times in the world for the 100m breaststroke. 0bviously, two months after rio, it
