Golf STRUCKER WINS SENIOR PGA >>

Steve Stricker is two-for-two in senior majors for 2023 after beating Padraig Harrington in a playoff at the Senior PGA Championship.

Harrington was trying to become the first wire-towire winner of the Senior PGA since Rocco Mediate in 2016.

Soccer LEICESTER RELEGATED >>

Bottom-place Southampton had already been relegated. Everton’s 1-0 win over Bournemouth meant Leicester’s 2-1 victory against West Ham was ultimately meaningless. Leeds’ miserable campaign ended in a 4-1 loss at home against Tottenham.
