sport today from the bbc sports centre. coming up, patrick reed claims are the masters and a first—ever major title. chelsea lose ground in the race for the top four. a frustrating day for them against west ham. sebastien vessel keeps up his winning start to the formula 1 season, —— vettel. welcome to the programme. a lot to get through that lets begin with golf. patrick reed has won the masters by one shot at augusta national. the first major title for the 27—year—old american who began with a three stroke lead. he held off a late challenge. rory mcilroy was hoping to win the title for the first time which would have given him a career grand slam. jordan speith made a charge but

nobody could deny reed who has been almost faultless over the last four days. i asked almost faultless over the last four days. iasked if almost faultless over the last four days. i asked if it was sheer tenacity from reed that won it for him. i think you are right. it was a courageous display. he did not bring his best golf today. he had to make a string of important shots, most importantly at the 17th hole where he came up short. he putted across the green and was lucky the ball caught the whole. a brave five or six footer to save par. that was the story of his round. the ball striking was not as assured as it has been. in the end, a one under par 71 was enough to get him a major

title and a coveted green jacket. two matches in the premier league on sunday. chelsea were held to one all at home by west ham. the substitute equalised in the second half after coming on. west ham remain 1ath, six points above zone while chelsea are 110w points above zone while chelsea are now ten point behind spurs with six games remaining. with this game we can explain our season. it is a pity. it is a pity. you dominate the game, you create chances, many chances however you did not score. if you do not storage is difficult to win. earlier, arsenal defeated southampton to win their sixth game

ina row southampton to win their sixth game in a row in all competitions. charlie austen pulled the visitors level before a header was sent home. the southampton pair were given marching orders. in the spanish league it was one all in the madrid derby between real and atlantico. reynaldo scored yet again. —— atletico. the result means that atletico. the result means that atletico lose ground and are now 11 points behind the runaway leaders barcelona while real stay third. in the italian league, title dreams kept alive for one team with a win over diego. napoli are four points behind the

later on we have south africa versus australia. the south africans are quite good and lawn bowls and australia, of course, wanting to make amends for that triggered series not long ago by winning gold here for their home nation. after the lawn bowls... can you pick up the lawn bowls... can you pick up the crowds there in the sunshine? that is where headed to. after that we will head to the athletics because it is the final of the 100 metres. the interesting thing about the athletics is you can still get tickets to go! and yet it is the 100 metres final for the tickets to go! and yet it is the 100 metres finalfor the men tickets to go! and yet it is the 100 metres final for the men and the women. who will win the gold at the track later on in a post bowled era? 2011 world champion has qualified fastest for the men and women's 0lympic fastest for the men and women's olympic champion is not there. asha

sebastien vettel fought off a challenge from bottas to to win. to bea to be a world champion, you need to keep your cool. stranded in ninth on the grid thanks to a gearbox change penalty. fullers house and it would bea penalty. fullers house and it would be a day of damage limitation. and action packed start saw some lose their way. hamilton took a careful approach and even when he was challenged at the start of the second lap it was max verstappen who came off worst. hamilton was quick to capitalise after the restart, jumping three places in one go. on a different strategy he led until his revival —— rival, vettel, got back in front. the finnish driver

retired, handing hamilton third place. and he could not catch bottas 01’ place. and he could not catch bottas or vettel. the german extended his lead to 17 point. hamilton will be relieved it is not more. there was not much for bottas. he had a sniff but he ran out of laps. i am quite happy. i knew that there would be a chance they would struggle in the end and he began to struggle sol was trying to be perfect and try to catch him but it was not quite enough. just focusing on doing everything perfectly. the argentine gone pre— has been won by a honda driver from gone pre— has been won by a honda driverfrom england. gone pre— has been won by a honda driver from england. the gone pre— has been won by a honda driverfrom england. the reigning world champion marc marquez finished 18th after receiving a 32nd penalty ina race 18th after receiving a 32nd penalty in a race to lead by rain. a third career murdered gp for the britain

website but for me —— from me and the team, good night. hello. for much of the week ahead, our air is coming from the east but don't worry, it doesn't look particularly cold, as we'll see. not so much sunshine in the week ahead as we enjoyed in cornwall, though, on sunday. it looked pretty nice too in inverness, broken cloud and sunny spells. scotland and northern ireland will see the best of the sunny spells as we go on through monday. some fog around to start the day, it could be quite dense in places — that gradually clearing. through east anglia and south—east england, a lot of cloud here, patchy rain and drizzle. 0n through the day, thatjust shunts a bit further west towards the midlands, maybe parts of wales late in the day, and some spots in south—east england. scotland, a few showers developing, not everybody will catch one. if you do, it could be on the heavy side. temperatures for the most part around ten to 1a degrees, could be quite misty

and murky throughout the day. some eastern coastal parts of northern ireland, some spots on the north sea coast as well. an area of rain expands to cover more of england, parts of wales, some darker blue, some heavy bursts developing as well as we go into tuesday morning. as monday begins, it will be fairly chilly. less so on tuesday morning and frosty, so not a worry as we go through this week. as we look at the big picture for tuesday, low pressure to the south of us. it's around that spiralling we see some wet weather systems occasionally, like the one we start off with on tuesday. high pressure in scandinavia. the flow of air means it is an easterly flow coming into the uk but look at the colours here, they're not baltic blue, the air‘s not coming from siberia, actually the eastern mediterranean so it's certainly not cold there. so as we go through the week, temperatures for many of us will be at or slightly above average, but there is one significant exception with cold air coming across the north sea, the north sea coast will be chilly, single figure temperatures.

some rain at times this week, not all the time. some drier and even sunnier moments to be enjoyed too. this is how tuesday is shaping up. we start off with that wet weather system, with some heavier bursts of rain, slowly moving away from england and wales towards parts of scotland. the north—west of scotland holding onto the fine weather for the longest. some sunny spells, there could be some heavy and maybe thundery showers into parts of england, especially south—west england and south wales later in the day. as we go on through the week, cloud, single figures. elsewhere, temperatures could be as high as 17 degrees. drier, brighter weather at times as we go through this week, and it looks like a pretty decent wet week to come here in north—west scotland. bye— bye. welcome to bbc news, broadcasting to viewers in north america and around the globe. my name is nkem ifejika. these are our top stories: western leaders express outrage
