    Hull and Wood provide for home women’s open win

    ByJustpaste.in

    Charley Hull began the week of the final golf major of the year by convincing her caddie Adam Woodward he had won a lottery prize worth £100,000. Unfortunately for Woodward, Hull had bought the ticket in a Blackpool joke shop. The only way he can really hit the jackpot is if his boss breaks her major duck at this week’s AIG Women’s Open. “He was like, ‘I’ve never won one of these things, but today could be my lucky day’,” Hull told BBC Sport. “And he was scratching it, scratching it, scratching it, and then his face dropped. ‘Oh my god,’ he said. ‘I’ve won 100 grand. I’ve won 100 grand.’ He takes his hat off. He takes his glasses off. He’s got sweat dripping down, he’s shaking, he’s so excited.” Hull then broke the bad news. “I think he nearly quit the job then,” the 30-year-old said. “I felt really bad.” The Englishwoman has nine professional wins but is yet to land a major title, and she will be among the leading contenders at the year’s final major. World number one Nelly Korda, who won the US Women’s Open, and Japan’s Yuka Saso are also expected to feature prominently. Another home hope is 22-year-old Lottie Woad, who has been gaining attention after a strong start to her professional career. After her win in Ohio, Woad lost a play-off to Yamashita at the Meijer LPGA Classic, missing a short putt for victory on the final green in Michigan. She says the biggest lesson she has learned is not to be too hard on herself. “Definitely I’ve learned a lot,” said Woad. “Obviously from losing the play-off but having my first lead in a major too. I think it’s quite easy to get frustrated and down yourself. You’re playing every week and obviously all expectations are to try and win and pretty much every week you’re not.” There are similarities between Woad and Hull, who was also 22 when she won this title here. “I watched it on TV and she was always one of the players I looked up to when I was younger,” Woad said. “If I could do what she did here, then I’ll definitely be happy with that.” There is plenty to potentially excite home galleries this week  and should either Woad or Hull emerge with the trophy, those fans will know they have held a ticket of genuine value.

    Brandon King injured after brilliant Babar Azam run-out

    ByJustpaste.in

    TRINIDAD: West Indies endured a significant setback on day three of the second Test against Pakistan after opener Brandon King was forced off the field with a painful lower back injury moments after producing a brilliant run-out to dismiss Babar Azam. The dramatic incident unfolded during Pakistan’s first innings when Babar, who resumed play on an overnight score of 84, looked well placed to end his long wait for a Test century. However, a costly mix-up with fellow batter Abdullah Shafique brought his innings to an abrupt end. Attempting a quick single after guiding the ball into the off side, Babar found himself stranded halfway down the pitch as King reacted sharply from cover. The West Indies fielder gathered the ball cleanly and unleashed a direct hit that caught the Pakistan star well short of his crease. While the dismissal gave the hosts a much-needed breakthrough, it came at a heavy price. King appeared to injure his lower back during the throwing action and immediately collapsed to the ground in visible pain. Medical staff rushed onto the field, and after several minutes of treatment, the 31-year-old was taken off on a stretcher, leaving teammates and spectators concerned. Cricket West Indies later confirmed that King had suffered lower back muscle spasms and would take no further part in day three’s play as a precaution. Team officials added that his condition would continue to be monitored by the medical staff before a decision is made on his availability for the remainder of the match. Earlier in the day, Pakistan resumed on 266-2, with Babar and Abdullah adopting a cautious approach as the West Indies bowling attack maintained disciplined lines and restricted scoring opportunities. The pressure eventually paid off with Babar’s dismissal in the 75th over after he added just two runs to his overnight total. King’s injury has added fresh concern for the West Indies camp at a crucial stage of the Test, with the hosts now awaiting further medical updates while trying to keep Pakistan’s batting lineup under control. The coming days could prove decisive not only for the outcome of the match but also for King’s immediate cricketing future.
