as for rory mcilroy — well, nothing too spectacular, but his latest quest for that masters title is offncouraging. andy swift, bbc news. ——andy swiss, bbc news. there was a really long faces here last night, not the horses! jurgen klopp said it was a "low point in liverpool's season", after a dreadful start to their europa league quarterfinal against atalanta. they were stunned at anfield, losing 3—0 — their first defeat there for over a year. this competition was klopp's chance to bring the curtain down on his liverpool career with a european trophy, but their hopes of making it through look slim. we played a bad game, we deserved to lose, and we must feel that now. but... the boys have expected this night, to feel bad about it, and then we have to build up again for the crystal palace game, so that's how it is. west ham manager david moyes said they still had "half a chance", despite a 2—0 defeat at bayer leverkusen — they held off the german league leaders for 83 minutes before conceding, and they'll have a job to do in the second leg at the london stadium next week. leverkusen are u

but rory mcilroy absolutely nowhere. three after three over. sorry.e in day one and day two. he's at three over and so moving day is called moving day for a reason. that's played that's certainly what played out yesterday . we've seen inclement yesterday. we've seen inclement weather over the over the weekend well . and there are a weekend as well. and there are a couple of that might couple of names that you might not recognise in the top 3 or 4. colin morawaka morikawa. sorry somebody this this is golf's interesting because you do still see at the majors names you've never heard of coming forward and winning or at least doing very well. it's a kind of the grand national effect. you know, i'm not it can get to i'm not saying it can get to a stage you can pick stage where you can just pick anybody to anybody, but according to the conditions, according to the play, if you get a little bit of good you be in the good fortune, you can be in the running sunday evening. running in by sunday evening. that's case right that's certainly the case right now for

golf's first major of the season, the masters, starts today and it's another opportunity for rory mcilroygusta, sooner or later. it's flattering, it's nice to hear in my opinion the best player ever to play the game to say something like that. he has been around the game long enough to know i at least have the potential to do it, i know i have the potential to do it, too. it is not as if i haven't been a pretty good playerfor the not as if i haven't been a pretty good player for the last couple of decades. but, yeah, it is nice to hear it when it comes out of his mouth. yesterday at the masters, was the traditional family event, a chance for players, to have some fun, and include their loved ones, before the serious stuff starts. and the pros will be hoping to handle the tricky greens as well as the daughter of former champion bubba watson here. easy as that for young dakota/ a critical celebration as well. she obviously has her talent. but a critical celebration as well. she obviously has her talent.- obviously has her talent. but it's such a good _ obviously has her talent. but it's suc

fleetwood in terms of the british interest, is a little bit further back, as is danny willett, rory mcilroy he's four oven particularly well. he's four over. 77. and again it over. he shot 77. and again it looks like the psychological hurdle is still there. he hasn't won a major now in ten years. he hasn't been able to add to the four. he's won previously and it's he's going it's the 10th year he's going for grand slam. this for his the grand slam. and this is the only one he hasn't won. and just doesn't seem be and he just doesn't seem to be able that , that able to surmount that, that particular hurdle of yet. but able to surmount that, that partnever hurdle of yet. but able to surmount that, that part never know. of yet. but able to surmount that, that partnever know. he'sf yet. but able to surmount that, that partnever know. he's still. but you never know. he's still young. have time? young. yeah have we got time? i'm going look at, i'm going to. yes. look at, chelsea and their feet. because there's all this. i don't know what you call it now. fair play. >> financial fair play. oh this

rory mcilory... trying to win his first green jacket and complete a career grand slam having won the three other majors. tiger woods is backing him to finally win the masters and mcilroyo hear... ..in my opinion, the best player ever to play the game, say something like that. so, you know, he's been around the game long enough to know that i at least have the potential to do it. and, i mean, i know i've got the potential to do it, too — it's not as if i haven't been a pretty good player for the last couple of decades, so... but, yeah, it's nice to hear it when it comes out of his mouth. as for tiger woods — he's not giving up on his own chances of glory at the masters. he's barely played competitive golf since having ankle surgery last april but believes he's still capable of winning a sixth greenjacket and 16th major if everything comes together at augusta this week. our practice sessions certainly aren't what they used to be. i used to live on the range or live on a short—game facility and just be out there all day. that's no longer the case. and so ijust have to be more focused on when i do get a chance to go out there and practise. and if everything comes together
