the tournament but is has eluded him. rory mcelroy is 5—over par and in deep trouble. the him. rory mcelroy is 5-over par and in deep trouble.— in deep trouble. the man in front is someone we _ in deep trouble. the man in front is someone we are _ in deep trouble. the man in front is someone we are so _ in deep trouble. the man in front is someone we are so used _ in deep trouble. the man in front is someone we are so used to - in deep trouble. the man in front is someone we are so used to seeing | someone we are so used to seeing at the business and of the masters, brooks koepka. the business and of the masters, brooks koepka-— the business and of the masters, brooks koepka. how easy? brooks koeka for brooks koepka. how easy? brooks koepka for a _ brooks koepka. how easy? brooks koepka for a two-year _ brooks koepka. how easy? brooks koepka for a two-year period - brooks koepka. how easy? brooks - koepka for a two-year period between koepka for a two—year period between 2017 two 2019 was the best golfer on the planet, he wondered a lot of typos during that period. he has had a dip in form since that and is one of the players who was jointly controversial liv golf tour so if you are to win that would be interesting. he has been in brilliant form of the first two days. he began the day at 7—under par in thejoint lead and is now at i2—under par after a round of the 67. he completed the second round and the leads five shots over viktor hovland and jon rahm were about to

more from the premier league and championship in a moment. but earlier, a great result for scotland's women, who came away with a 1—0 win over world cup bound australia, in wimbledon.. alice scarff reports. the good friday spirit was in full swing under the sun and the abc wimbledon ground with great support for both sites. scotland didn't make it an easy first half with frustration early as one blair was booked for bringing that up there. that's assurance had multiple chancesin that's assurance had multiple chances in the first book and see the finished leaving the first half goal the scotland's seal the deal in the 46 many with a goal from a magnificent long—range shot into the top corner. australia did hit the crossbar twice, though. i nearly equalised but lee gibson just managed to get across and tipped the ball wide. scotland nearly got to

but he was saved by the assure the goalkeeper. this would be a huge confidence boost before the nations league and the euro 2025 qualifying campaigns. boosting a that has its eye on winning the world cup when he gets under way injuly. alice scarff bbc news let's turn our attentions to matches in the championship now — with a full round of fixtures today. we could see burnley seal promotion back to the top flight later if vincent kompany�*s side can beat middlebrough in the evening kick off. it's after fellow promotion chasers luton failed to win at millwall. imran sidat was watching. the race for the championship playoff places is hotting up. both the sides sat in the top six at kick—off and in front of a sold—out man, it was a home site who started brighter. tom bradshaw going closer. they continue to push for the opener with ryan leonard trying luck from distance but the goalkeeper was up

to the challenge. it was a game of few clear—cut chances so could a set piece break the deadlock? not without effort. newton continued to push about their weight the season and finally had a shot on target in the 70 night minute. that seemed to spur them into action as they went close again later on. in the end it finished goalless. a result which means league leaders burnley will be promoted back to the premier league at the first time of asking if they beat middlesbrough later this evening. imran sidat, bbc news there was a full round of fixtures in the championship today. blackburn's play—off hopes were dented by a 2—0 defeat at home to norwich. blackpool's hopes of staying in the champiomnship seem to be slipping away after a 3—1 loss to cardiff. qpr are edging closer to danger after defeat to preston. reading and birmingham shared the points. rotherham beat west brom 3—1. sheffield united beat

wigan 1—0 to maintain their automatic promotion hopes. bristol city won at stoke, it was goalless at swansea and the neil warnock revival at huddersfield continues with a 3—2 win at watford. sunderland and hull city currently 2—2. and that big game at middlesbrough kicks off at eight. so this is how the top of the table looks — confirmation that burnley are a win away from an instant return to the premier league with sheffieled united looking a good bet to join them. luton, middlesbrough, millwall and blackburn occupy the play—off places but they'll all be looking over their shoulders at a number of teams just behind them. the bottom of the table looks grim reading for wigan at the bottom and blackpooljust a place and a point above them. their hopes of survival look slim after defeats for both today. reading are in big trouble after that six—point deduction they were hit with earlier in the week, they drop into the bottom three. qpr, huddersfield, cardiff and rotherham all with plenty of work to do still to maintain their championship status.

christian eriksen will be back in the manchester united squad for saturday's premier league game against everton at old trafford the dane was expected to miss the rest of the season but has recovered from an ankle injury ahead of schedule. the manchester united manager still isn't happy about the foul by reading's andy carroll that caused the injury in january in an fa cup tie. i was so angry about that tackle. at first we feared that we lost them for the whole season but he worked very well. i think the medical department did really well and together he is already returning to the squad and available for the final stages of the season so we are pleased with that. the pick of the weekend fixtures sees the leaders arsenal head to anfield. the luiverpool manager has been

through the rest of the weekend. there will still be some sunny spells, but generally a bit more in the way of cloud and some rain arriving later in the weekend. now, on the earlier satellite picture, you can see a lot of cloud that's been lurking in the north sea. some of that now is rolling inland and out towards the west, frontal systems waiting in the atlantic, which will eventually bring some outbreaks of rain. so as we go through tonight, we will see more of this cloud rolling in across eastern scotland and eastern england. and at the same time, some fog patches could develop through parts of the midlands and down into southeast england. elsewhere, some clear spells which will allow temperatures to drop. we're going to get quite close to freezing in places, so some of us will see a touch of frost to start saturday morning. but on balance, saturday, still a fine looking day. some spells of sunshine, but more cloud across parts of eastern scotland and eastern england. i think that cloud will tend to retreat towards the north sea coast, but where the cloud does linger, it'll make it feel really rather cool. temperatures there in aberdeen maybe only getting to around eight degrees celsius.

further west, sunny skies and highs of 15 or 16, but we will see more cloud into northern ireland, a very weak frontal system that could bring the odd spot of rain here during saturday night. and then into sunday, here comes another weather front and this one will have a bit more energy about it. so we will certainly see the cloud thickening up across northern ireland. some rain here by the afternoon, perhaps eventually into western scotland, west wales, the far south west of england. but ahead of that, some spells of sunshine, some areas of cloud, but with a strengthening southerly breeze, it is going to feel warm. temperatures could get as high as 16 or 17 degrees. but through sunday night, this frontal system pushes eastwards, taking outbreaks of rain with it. i think the most persistent rain will mainly be confined to the overnight hours, but some will linger in eastern england for a time on monday morning. could be quite a wet day across the northern isles, elsewhere, sunny spells, yes, but also some showers, some of which could be heavy, possibly with some hail and some thunder and slightly lower temperatures, typically between ten and 15 degrees. and then as we head deeper into next

week, quite a change, actually. some spells of rain and the chance of gales.
