hello and welcome to sportsday. i'm chetan pathak. coming up on tonight's programme... tiger tees off — amongst the early starters on the opening day of the masters at augusta national. we'll tell you how he's getting on. the wait is nearly over. more than a0 years after they last played a european quarterfinal, west ham prepare to face lyon in the europa league.

but what are everton�*s chances of staying in the premier league after another damaging defeat drags them even closer to the bottom three? also coming up on the programme before 7... ahead of the biggest race of the year, we speak to history maker rachael blackmore as she returns to aintree to defend her grand national title. welcome along, thank you forjoining us. most of the talk heading into the start of golf�*s first men's major of the year has centred on one man — tiger woods — returning little over a year after suffering life—threatening injuries when he crashed his car. he's not the only story on day one of the masters at augusta, but it's obviously where we start tonight. our correspondent andy swiss has been following

the day's play so far. been watching tiger woods, how is he getting on? 50 been watching tiger woods, how is he caettin on? ., been watching tiger woods, how is he caettin on? . , , getting on? so far, pretty well. it seemed almost _ getting on? so far, pretty well. it seemed almost unthinkable thatl seemed almost unthinkable that you would be here a few months ago, and yet here he is. you can imagine the expectation and anticipation as he prepared for his opening tee shot. it wasn't the greatest he's ever produced. but the excitement was incredible. here it goes, it was a little bit... you can see him looking anxious, but he scrambled a par on that 1st hole, and he produced a succession of pars over the first five holes. got to the sixth, where we saw a first bit of that old tiger woods magic. it was a stunning shot on the path. it landed reallyjust stunning shot on the path. it landed really just a few inches from stunning shot on the path. it landed reallyjust a few inches from the hole. this is what the crowd had

been hoping to see beyond hope, but that was it from tiger woods. his first birdie, that took him to one under par. he's since dropped to go back to level par, but i suppose the big question was could tiger woods be competitive, and what we've seen, he can. he be competitive, and what we've seen, he can. . , �* be competitive, and what we've seen, hecan. �* 'f~ be competitive, and what we've seen, hecan.

woods, even before the crash, had all sorts of injury problems before. i think what will be interesting is how he's able to conduct himself physically over the rest of the round. he's not played an awful lot of golf over the last year, and if he plays over all four rounds of the masters, how he will he cope with the physical demands? fascinating da s the physical demands? fascinating days ahead- _ the physical demands? fascinating days ahead. this _ the physical demands? fascinating days ahead. this is _ the physical demands? fascinating days ahead. this is how— the physical demands? fascinating days ahead. this is how things - the physical demands? fascinating days ahead. this is how things are | days ahead. this is how things are shaping up. danny will it there as well. one under. along with others including tiger woods. you've got the world number one as well. in the defending champion. this is a fascinating

with burnley, watford and norwich below them. and leeds aren't safe either — six points above the drop — but they've played more games. an intriguing picture and a battle that will go right down to the wire, asjoe lynskey reports. tea rs tears at full time in the league match. for every ten, this one hurt. notjust for the repercussions, but not just for the repercussions, but in notjust for the repercussions, but in how defeat at burnley happened. when they scored from the spot, everton led 2—1. they were seven points clear of trouble. but then it changed. burnley had won just three games all season and had not come from behind to win for a year, but this was their sixth season in the top—flight. this was their sixth season in the to-fliuht. xx this was their sixth season in the ton-flight- a _ this was their sixth season in the top—flight. kicks a burnley victory top-flight. kicks a burnley victory insire top-flight. kicks a burnley victory inspire not _ top-flight. kicks a burnley victory inspire not just _ top-flight. kicks a burnley victory inspire notjust by _ top—flight. if; can a burnley victory inspire notjust by their own top—flight. if; ti1 a burnley victory inspire notjust by their own plate, but the vulnerability of their opponents. everson win so few points away from home and their coach knew

somehow, they have to stop falling. joe lynskey, bbc news. the scottish premiership title might be slipping away from rangers at the moment, but tonight, they have the chance to move closer to the last four of the europa league. they're in portugal for the first leg of their quarterfinal against braga. their main man, alfredo morelos, is out through injury, so a big night ahead for their young squad. alasdair lamont is there for us. this stage of european competition pretty much any opponent is going to be a tricky one, but i think most of the observer agreed that in terms of quarterfinals, this was about as kind as rangers could have hoped for. the fourth in the league beat the side to get to the round of the competition. they are clearly a competent outfit, but so too are rangers. they've beaten dortmund, but even in the last round, the

serbian champions tops the group. braga came out, so rangers have lots of positivity. this was called a 50-50 tie, of positivity. this was called a 50—50 tie, and it's difficult to disagree. there was about 6000 or so fans, the stadium just down in the cliff behind me, and the rangers fans will almost outnumber the braga supporters. they do have a huge home supporters. they do have a huge home support and those fans hoping to take home a positive result from this first leg for the second leg in a week. a big night for rangers, a historic for west ham. for the first time in over a0 years, they're in a european quarterfinal. french side lyon are at the london stadium this evening for the first leg of their europa league match. before she headed off to this evening's game, i caught up earlier with presenter and west ham fan holly worthington to get her thoughts.

i'm really excited. just based on the atmosphere, i think there's so much look forward to tonight. this really does feel like the pinnacle of west ham for me, because i don't think any of us could have seen so much success coming. especially given the current climate. i'm buzzing for tonight's game. it’s buzzing for tonight's game. it's been called the biggest game of his career, certainly the biggest in your lifetime and mine. when is this... there have been big nights for west ham in that intervening period, but for you and the supporters, where does this rate? i think for me, it's right up there with the greatest games. there were memorable moments, but i think at the moment, where we are, there is such a sense of optimism around the club, the fans, everyone's confident and i think it's come at the perfect

time because none of us really expected it to come this season, and just to get the opportunity to play european football is incredible. let alone to get to the stage. you mention everyone _ alone to get to the stage. you mention everyone confident, everyone optimistic. that has not always been the case. even with the new stadium coming in, that took a wild to take hold. what has david moyes done to transform the mood? i hold. what has david moyes done to transform the mood?— transform the mood? i think david mo es has transform the mood? i think david moyes has come — transform the mood? i think david moyes has come in _ transform the mood? i think david moyes has come in and _ transform the mood? i think david | moyes has come in and completely reshape in the whole team. it feels like there's a real sense of teamwork. it all seems to be slowly falling into place. it's definitely been a bit of a slow burner, but it does feel like everyone is just up for every game and it really is heading in the right direction. we do get the odd live here and there because we are west ham, but the way we are playing and the work ethic behind the scenes is really getting us the results we've been wanting as

fans for years. i us the results we've been wanting as fans for years— fans for years. i know i shouldn't sa it, fans for years. i know i shouldn't say it. dare _ fans for years. i know i shouldn't say it. dare i— fans for years. i know i shouldn't say it, dare i say _ fans for years. i know i shouldn't say it, dare i say it, _ fans for years. i know i shouldn't say it, dare i say it, if— fans for years. i know i shouldn't say it, dare i say it, if you - fans for years. i know i shouldn't say it, dare i say it, if you get. say it, dare i say it, if you get past mac potentially, barcelona a weight in the semifinals —— get past lyon. i5 weight in the semifinals -- get past l on. , , ' weight in the semifinals -- get past l on. , , , ., ., , weight in the semifinals -- get past lon. lyon. is the stuff of dreams because when barcelona _ lyon. is the stuff of dreams because when barcelona first came _ lyon. is the stuff of dreams because when barcelona first came down, . lyon. is the stuff of dreams because j when barcelona first came down, we were alljoking about the opportunity for west ham to play barcelona, now it feels like it's within our reach. we've beaten big teams this season, and the confidence going on with the fans as well as the team feels like nothing's out of our reach. there i say i'm definitely getting a bit carried away that we could play barcelona. carried away that we could play barcelona-— and leicester city are also in european quarterfinal action this evening. they're taking on psv eindhoven in the quarterfinals of the europa conference league — that kicks off at 8 o'clock at the king power stadium. the big games keep coming.
