BRITISH sprinter Daryll Neita has pulled out of this week’s World Indoor Championships due to injury. Neita, 21, suffered the setback shortly after securing a spot in the women’s 60 metres in Birmingham with silver at the British Athletics Indoor Championships this month. Bianca Williams has been named as her replacement.

GOLF’S US Open is changing to a two-hole aggregate play-off, making it the last of the four majors to do away with an 18-hole play-off if there is a tie after 72 holes. Meanwhile, the 101st Walker Cup between amateur golfers from Great Britain & Ireland and the USA will be at St Andrews in 2023.
