Lucy has revealed she has incurable stage four breast cancer.
The actor, who is best known for playing Dawn Tinsley in The Office, shared that she was diagnosed a year and a half ago when the disease had already metastasised to her bones, making it too late for chemotherapy.
Davis wrote on Instagram on Tuesday, "As of now, I'm trying to live out whatever might be left of my life in as fun a way as I possibly can.
"I always like to find the teachable moments in anything negative that happens. And cancer has not disappointed in that regard; there's a lot I have learned from it, and I'm grateful for that.
"As some of you will know, the pain can really be something else. Standing and walking for too long a time can be hard, and I need to use a wheelchair sometimes (so if you see me toddling around in one, feel free to give me a push!)."
Davis, the daughter of the comedian Jasper Carrott, noted that humour was one of the things that had helped.

Emily Martinez was so disappointed in her last match.
The Holland boxer wasn't close to her best and lost a fight in town that all of her family and friends saw.
"I felt like my world fell apart," Martinez said.
The Michigan Golden Gloves champion vowed never to let that happen again.
Not the losing part, but putting so much weight on winning and losing that it affects other aspects of her life.

Lucy Davis, who is known for her appearance in The Office, has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. The star took to her Instagram account to post this heartbreaking news.
According to her update, the actor has been diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. Following her revelation, The Office star also pointed out that the cancer was incurable, as it has already metastasized into her bones. Furthermore, such a situation also leaves her in a helpless state, as chemotherapy will probably not help her situation.
Elaborating on her illness, Davis pointed out how she had a small lump on her breast. However, since the lump was small, the 53-year-old ignored it, which led to the cancer spreading further. Advising her followers, Davis asked them not to disregard any symptoms and get checked immediately.

Continuing with her long message, The Office actor also made an important request to all her friends and family. She stated that everybody must continue making fun of her and teasing her like before. The 53-year-old further reflected that there was no worse feeling for a sick person than when their family treats them as if they were unwell.

ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM) reported second-quarter 2026 results on July 31, and the headline number disappointed. Adjusted earnings came in at $3.52 per share, short of the $3.60 ***** ysts expected, even though that figure was up sharply from a year earlier. Reported earnings were $14.5 billion, or $3.48 per share. But the company also generated $23.6 billion in cash from operations and $17.2 billion in free cash flow, enough to fund $9.4 billion in shareholder distributions with room to spare. The miss made headlines. The cash didn't miss anything.
Exxon's operating results told a different story than the earnings line. The company posted its highest upstream production in more than two decades, excluding disruptions in the Middle East, and Permian output topped 1.8 million oil-equivalent barrels per day, a record pace consistent with its planned 9% annual growth rate through 2030. A fifth Guyana production vessel set sail during the quarter, with startup on track for the fourth quarter of 2026 and 250,000 barrels per day of new capacity coming online. Diesel production also hit a second-quarter record. None of that shows up directly in a per-share earnings number, but it is the foundation the company is building future cash flow on.
Cost discipline reinforced the picture. Exxon has now banked $16.3 billion in ***** ulative structural cost savings since 2019, including $1.2 billion added in the first half of 2026 alone, a total the company says exceeds what BP, Chevron, Shell, and TotalEnergies have saved combined. It kept investing anyway, spending $13.0 billion in cash capital expenditures through midyear, about 20% more than its nearest rival. Growing production while cutting costs is the combination that funds a rising dividend.
The earnings miss wasn't the only soft spot. The first quarter of 2026 generated just $2.7 billion in free cash flow against $9.2 billion in shareholder distributions, forcing Exxon to lean on its balance sheet, with debt-to-capital reaching 15.4% at the time. Zoom out to the full first half and the math is tighter than the strong second quarter suggests: $19.9 billion in free cash flow covered $18.6 billion in distributions, leaving only about $1.3 billion of cushion. The company reduced debt by $7 billion in the second quarter and brought net debt-to-capital down to 11%, but the episode is a reminder that commodity earnings swing hard from quarter to quarter, and the roughly $37 billion a year Exxon is committing to dividends and buybacks needs strong quarters to keep showing up.

The star power at the Cincinnati Open—and potentially the US Open—has taken another hit.
On Sunday, Jannik Sinner withdrew from the Ohio-based tournament, citing issues with his right knee. In a statement released by the tournament, the ATP's No. 1–ranked men's player expressed hope that he'll be able to play in the US Open, which is set to begin its main draw on Aug. 30.
"After consulting with my doctors and my team, I have to announce that I need to withdraw from the Masters 1000 tournament in Cincinnati," Sinner's statement reads. "My right knee has been bothering me and even though we have been working hard with my medical team, I have to accept that I'm not ready to compete yet.
"I'm very disappointed not to be able to play in Cincinnati and wish [tournament director] Bob [Moran] and his whole team a great and successful event. I can't wait to be back next year and I'm now focusing on getting ready for the US Open."
Sinner's announcement comes five days after the ATP's No. 2 men's player, Carlos Alcaraz, also withdrew from the Cincinnati Open. Alcaraz has been sidelined with a wrist injury since April, with the 23-year-old having missed the French Open and Wimbledon this year.

Usana Health Sciences (NYSE: USNA) stock saw a huge valuation contraction this week in response to disappointing second-quarter results. The company's share price declined 30% across the stretch. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 rose 3.6%, and the Nasdaq Composite gained 5.2%.
Usana published its second quarter results on Aug. 4, and both sales and earnings for the period came in significantly worse than the average ******* yst estimates. In addition to the weak Q2 print, the company also issued new forward guidance that disappointed the market.

In the second quarter, Usana recorded non-GAAP (adjusted) earnings of $0.07 per share on sales of roughly $223 million. The company's adjusted profit per share came in $0.50 below the level called for by the average ******* yst estimate, and revenue for the period was roughly $12 million lower than the average forecast. In addition to Q2 earnings that came in far below Wall Street's forecast and a meaningful sales miss, the company's Q2 report also arrived with disappointing forward guidance.
With its Q2 report, Usana announced that it would be taking a $29 million goodwill impairment charge on the value of its Hiya business. As a result, the company now expects to record a loss of roughly $11 million this year -- down from previous guidance for a profit between $20 million and $27 million. The company also lowered its full-year sales target.

On July 30, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) released its fiscal third-quarter 2026 report, and the company's shares dropped as much as 10% in the sell-off. This was a striking reaction to a quarter that produced record earnings per share and beat Wall Street's revenue estimates. The drop says less about what Apple just did and more about what investors think comes next: a memory chip shortage squeezing costs, and guidance that fell short of what ******* ysts wanted to see.
Start with the iPhone, still Apple's biggest business by far. Global smartphone shipments fell 6.7% year over year, per IDC data, and Apple was one of only two major manufacturers to grow instead of shrink. Its iPhone shipments climbed 15.3% year over year, outpacing Samsung's 8.1% increase and marking the second straight quarter Apple posted the industry's fastest unit growth. iPhone revenue reached $54.25 billion, up nearly 22% and above the $53.86 billion Wall Street expected. Because revenue grew faster than estimated unit shipments, average selling prices trended higher for the period.
The iPhone 17, released late last year, drove what CEO Tim Cook called an "incredible blowout" quarter, and customers continue to upgrade ahead of Apple's traditional autumn product cycle and expected software enhancements.
Apple is dealing with a DRAM and NAND shortage pushing supply costs higher industrywide, and management expects to pay even more for memory this quarter than it just did. Apple guided fiscal fourth-quarter gross margin to 47% to 48%, down from the 50.1% it just posted, a sign memory costs keep climbing. Apple can either absorb that hit to margins or pass the cost to consumers who are already watching their spending.
That's part of why the outlook disappointed. ******* ysts had modeled 12% revenue growth for the fourth quarter, but Apple guided to just 9% to 11%, with supply constraints expected to weigh on iPhone, iPad and Mac sales. Services revenue also missed, coming in at $30.7 billion for growth of about 12%, the slowest of Apple's three largest categories even as it extended a streak of 12 straight quarters of double-digit growth. That matters because Apple's premium valuation leans heavily on services staying the high-margin engine that keeps expanding.

Christian Lundgaard will need to conjure another miraculous drive from the back of the grid after severe electrical issues derailed his qualifying effort for the Grand Prix of Portland.
The Arrow McLaren driver entered the race weekend sitting fourth in the championship standings, anchored by two victories this season—including a sensational last-to-first charge at Road America back in June. However, the 25-year-old Dane will have to replicate that monumental performance on Portland International Raceway's tight, 12-turn, 1.964-mile natural road course after mounting electrical problems left his # 7 Chevrolet severely down on power.
Trouble struck midway through the first round of qualifying (Q1). Lundgaard brought the car into the pit lane for a fresh set of tires, but the electronic issues quickly escalated.
"Quite disappointed in how our day ended up, considering we seemed to have made progress overnight with our pace," Lundgaard said. "My dash froze when we came in for the tire change midway through Q1, and when we fired up again, my hybrid didn't work after that."
Without the critical boost from the hybrid unit, Lundgaard was unable to generate the speed necessary to set a competitive lap time, leaving him trapped at the bottom of the speed charts for the remainder of the session.

Kilmarnock may be yet to train on their new grass-hybrid pitch, but it's fair to say manager Neil McCann is excited about the "sensational" surface.
"I just feel that Rugby Park was always known as having a brilliant surface," said McCann.
"So, hopefully we get a big crowd coming in on the back of the home form last season. I know they'll be disappointed by the last weekend but we look to try and put that right."
Killie opened their Scottish Premiership season with a 4-3 defeat by St Johnstone at McDiarmid Park and welcome champions Celtic on Sunday.
And McCann says the new pitch will not change their game tactically at all, although he admits his side will have an advantage over the visiting teams as "it allows you to train on it".

Space Exploration Technologies (NASDAQ: SPCX) reported its first financial update as a publicly traded company (for the second quarter) on Aug. 4 amid high expectations.

Unfortunately, the **** e company's results disappointed the market, sending the stock sharply lower and extending the losses from recent weeks. **** eX stock is down 20% from its IPO price and 52% from its all-time high.

SpaceX's second-quarter results weren't bad. The company's revenue soared 92% year over year to $7.8 billion, while it cut its net loss nearly in half, landing at $541 million for the period, versus the $1 billion reported in the prior-year quarter. However, there are some worrying signs. Notably, **** eX is spending a small fortune to capitalize on what it perceives as a massive opportunity in artificial intelligence (AI). During the second quarter, **** eX's capex within its AI business was $15.8 billion, more than doubling quarter over quarter. It was also more than six times the capex in its two other operating segments combined.
Management says it will continue to spend heavily on AI over the next few quarters. That's a problem for the company's near-term performance. The market is punishing other corporations that are also spending heavily on AI, even when they generate significantly more revenue and earnings than **** eX and also boast attractive opportunities in this market. Perhaps the spending is justified and will eventually transform **** eX's business. But it's unlikely that we will see a significant return on investment from **** eX's AI-related spending over the next year, which leads me to believe that the stock may fall further and offer investors who believe in its vision an even more attractive entry point.
SpaceX is acquiring Cursor, an AI start-up, for $60 billion. One noteworthy aspect of this deal is that it is an all-stock transaction. Translation: **** eX is diluting existing shareholders by issuing new shares to fund this acquisition. It may be worth it in the long run if Cursor can improve **** eX's AI business, but this transaction may put downward pressure on the stock over the next year or so, especially if many of these new shareholders decide to cash out.

Lenni Hameenaho had quite the season for his first campaign in North America in 2025-26. Starting the season in the AHL with the Utica Comets, Hameenaho initially got off to a slow start with no points in his first nine games. He would come on strong after an that initial adjustment period to post 22 points in his next 25 games, earning himself a spot in the NHL for much of the remainder of the Devils' season. His 33 NHL appearances would see him post just eight points (two goals and six ***** ists) while mostly being used in the Bottom Six. The Devils would send Lenni back down for the final push for the Comets to make the postseason; while they came up just short, Hameenaho contibuted four points in those three games.
2025-26 was a good start for a 21 year old rookie; while you might be disappointed in his NHL point totals, keep in mind his deployment, He was typically playing on the fourth line with little to no time on special teams. He wasn't consistently put with teammates who could help him generate offense. He did make a number of mistakes as young players often do, but by the end of the season I would argue Hameenaho was a more complete player in game 33 in New Jersey than he was in game one. This upcoming season will be a good opportunity for him to take another step forward. The only question has to be where in the organization will that be?
For 2026-27, the Devils have added to their forward depth, so much so that if Hameenaho were to be on the NHL roster alongside everyone else listed on PuckPedia, he would be one of 14 forwards. While the Devils carried 14 forwards for a portion of last season, I don't think the argument could be made that all of them belonged at the NHL level. This season, while you could argue their role and deployment, each of the other 13 forwards is at least an NHL player. The Devils are trying to ensure future success, but also want to win now; if there's players better than Lenni, that means 12 other Devils will be on the ice nightly, and at the same time you don't want one of your better prospects sitting in the press box on a nightly or almost nightly basis. So is Hameenaho destined for a full season with Utica?
I think a lot of it is going to depend on how much he's learned from last season and what he has done this summer. If Lenni spent the offseason looking over game footage, furthering his understanding of Sheldon Keefe's system, adding muscle to his frame and continuing to improve his skills, then there's a chance he could leap over a number of the lower tier Devils forwards and work his way onto the opening night roster. If that were the case, then the Devils would probably have to send a goaltender or fringe forward down, but hey, would the Devils really be that much worse without one of Nico Daws/David Rittich or Jesper Boqvist/Nick Bjugstad?
Conversely, Hameenaho is still a very young player, as he will just be turning 22 shortly into the upcoming season. It wouldn't be a bad thing if the Devi

Jackie Kennedy, born Jacqueline Bouvier, spent the summer of 1953 in London for Queen Elizabeth's coronation.
The young journalist and future first lady networked her way into the season's biggest parties, attended by Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart.
She didn't meet Elizabeth until June 1961, at which time she was allegedly "disappointed" by Buckingham Palace and criticized the queen's hairstyle.
Years before she was first lady, Jackie Kennedy went to London for Queen Elizabeth's coronation.
Then going by Jacqueline Bouvier—having not yet received a proposal from future husband John F. Kennedy—Jackie was an intrepid photographer-reporter for The Washington Times-Herald. She arrived in Europe with friend Aileen Bowdoin in May 1953, ready to chase down stories and send back glittering reports of society parties.

Max Verstappen's future has been the topic of heated conversation for well over 18 months now, dating back to his last Formula 1 world championship triumph in 2024.
The four-time world champion, the outstanding driver of his generation, officially has a £50m-a-year contract with Red Bull until the end of the 2028 season.
However, the Dutchman is motivated by competitiveness. Red Bull have been unable to provide him with a top-tier car in the last two seasons, as illustrated by their constructors' finishing spot: third last year and, at the 2026 summer break, fourth this year. As such, Verstappen is being linked with a move away.
The futures of Max Verstappen and Fernando Alonso are shrouded in speculation (Getty)
There is other "silly season" speculation too: Carlos Sainz is understandably disappointed with Williams' poor start to the season and is said to be looking elsewhere, while Fernando Alonso looks to be on the brink of retirement given Aston Martin's torrid plight.

With a player meeting expected to unveil more information to LIV Golf members who are uncertain what lies ahead, Cameron Smith said he's preparing for the season-ending LIV Golf Team Championship as if it's still happening, even though fellow league member Martin Kaymer was quoted as saying he thought there was a 5 percent chance the event would go in Michigan as planned.
"We've been told to prepare as though it's going ahead. So we're expecting it to happen," Smith said during a press conference on Tuesday. "I'm really unsure, but we had a great year there last year in Detroit, and we're hoping we get back there. It's a great golf course, a great venue, and the crowds really turned up as well. Yeah, would be disappointed if it wasn't."
The circuit's turbulent 2026 season appeared poised to take another significant hit last week, when reports leaked that the league was expected to announce the cancellation of its team championship at The Cardinal in Plymouth, marking the second event scrubbed from this year's schedule.
The social media account "Flushing It" first reported the development, while LIV officials had not responded to Golfweek's request for comment.
The news followed April's decision to postpone LIV Golf New Orleans, an event that was originally slated for July and has yet to receive a replacement date. Combined with seven weeks without competition before last week's LIV Golf UK event, the move underscores a season that has been defined as much by uncertainty as by on-course action.

One of Dortmund's will-they-won't-they transfers of the summer appears to be going ahead at long last. Per Fabrizio Romano, Dortmund wing-back Yan Couto is set to move to Italy this summer on loan to Como.
Couto joined Dortmund initially on loan from Manchester City in the fall of 2024, with a purchase obligation exercised in the summer of 2026. Across two seasons for BVB, Couto played 62 matches, scoring three goals and **** isting a further three.
These numbers only tell a half story. In his second season, Couto played a mere 997 minutes in the league, falling behind Julian Ryerson in the pecking order at right wing-back. One might think Couto would be perfectly suited to Niko Kovac's five-back system, but unfortunately for Couto, Ryerson's crossing prowess this season made him impossible to leave off the team sheet.
I, for one, am very disappointed to see Couto go in what will likely prove to be a permanent departure. Couto took an enormous leap of faith moving to Dortmund, a completely foreign country and league, and embraced the club with open arms. BVB repaid him, in my opinion, with limited minutes and little reward for the good moments he showed in black and yellow. It always felt as though Couto was an afterthought on the team-sheet despite his impressive CV and potential to bring a different element to the squad, with some time to settle into a role. Dortmund gave Raphaël Guerreiro seven seasons to be a poor defender with tremendous creative ability—I'm not sure why Couto couldn't be afforded just one.
Couto is only 24, and with the buy option seemingly non-obligatory, we may yet see Yan Couto in black and yellow again. Unfortunately, BVB has likely left a poor taste in the Brazilian's mouth, and I wouldn't blame him for leaving it in the past.

No matter the discourse that flares up around her style of play, the fouls she takes from opposing players or the various political controversies that find their way into the WNBA ecosystem, Caitlin Clark has been remarkably consistent about one thing during her entire career.
She wants no part of your agenda.
If you're on the left and believe Clark is doing something to foster online racism and harassment toward her opponents, it is apparent that no amount of denunciation (which she has done many times) will convince you that she just wants to play ball. And if you're on the other side of the spectrum, trying to bait her into one of these hot-button debates that dominates right-wing media, you, too, will find yourself disappointed by her equal-opportunity evasiveness.
In an era where every athlete is supposed to have an opinion on everything for the rest of us to judge as we retreat into ideological camps, here's a basketball player who literally just wants to shut up and dribble.
And her reward is getting attacked from both sides.

The trade deadline is one of the most hectic days of the entire regular season for all ball clubs, whether you are a fan of a team that is already looking ahead to the next season for how they can improve or a team that is in the middle of a playoff race and hoping to see October baseball, it's a day where all of us are constantly checking MLBTradeRumors or refreshing our twitter feeds for the next Jeff Passan bomb to grace our timeline.
Coming off a series victory over the Cleveland Guardians where the Dbacks would end up going 10-6 from the start of the 2nd half to the last day before the deadline, there was hope among fans and players on the team that GM Mike Hazen would go ahead and be an aggressive buyer and fill the positional needs this team has shown to be lacking throughout 2026. What we got was…far from the outcome we had been hoping for to say the least.
With today being the last day for teams to make trades before the deadline at 6 PM EST, the notifications from the top baseball reporters were going off all day. We saw nearly every NL playoff hopeful make some kind of move to strengthen their rosters, especially the teams like the Padres, Phillies, Cubs and even Pirates who are all still jockeying for one of the 3 Wild Card spots. There were some rumors about the Diamondbacks being involved in discussions for players like Casey Mize of the Tigers, or Alec Burleson from the Cardinals, but that's where it always seemed to end at just a "discussion" and nothing being finalized.

I sat there watching the time tick away thinking "Alright, (Mike) Hazen will get something done before time is up,let him cook" and kept repeating that to myself, but once the final 10 to 15 minutes approached I got nervous that we might not see anything come to fruition, but right as I had that thought, the news finally came through and the Snakes made a move.
Brandon, Gabe and I planned to have a deadline special episode where we would discuss all the moves that were made for the Diamondbacks and who was dealt for the reinforcements that we were sure were on their way, but like a lot of other online we were quite disappointed to see that the only trade Mike Hazen would be was trading Daniel Eagan (#5 prospect), Sandro Santana (#26 Prospect) and a Player-To-Be-Named-Later (PTBNL) in exchange for Cardinals outfielder Lars Nootbar. Noot did miss a good chunk of time to start the season due to injury so his .234/.333/.354 line with 3 HR and 16 RBI might not seem like the most exciting numbers to Dback's fans, but some of his underlying metrics give fans some more hope that he could be a solid addition for a team that is still well in the wild card race.
While the addition of Nootbar does at least improve the roster by bringing in a guy who has a solid walk rate and low chase % (also would mean we have a player who can slot in for Kepler should we hold onto that playoff spot), the Diamondbacks biggest needs going into the deadline was more Starting Pitching an

The first trade deadline under Paul DePodesta and Josh Byrnes has come and gone. Primed to be sellers, the Rockies managed to move a couple of players, but longtime fans of the club may be a bit disappointed about the overall activity, or lack thereof, for a team fighting to avoid 100 losses.
I've done my best to try and attribute grades to the three moves made. There isn't much of a formula as I looked over stat sheets and canvassed opinions from the internet as well as my fellow writers here at Purple Row. Everyone has a different method, and I hope to hear your thoughts in the comments, but time will tell how things pan out from today.
So, without further ado, let's break it all down.
Grade: B+
As the market heated up around the league, the Rockies finally joined in on the fun with their first trade of the day just before 11 am MDT. Colorado sent two-time Gold Glove center fielder Brenton Doyle to the Chicago White Sox for right-handed pitcher Mason Adams and 16-year-old shortstop Carlos Vielma.

Bam Adebayo reacts to LeBron James choosing the Philadelphia 76ers over the Miami Heat originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
After LeBron James announced that he was leaving the Los Angeles Lakers, it led to teams showing interest around the league. Even if he is already 41, LeBron is still one of the most appealing players in the league due to his winning pedigree and tremendous talent.
When he saw the Philadelphia 76ers trade for Jaylen Brown, he saw a team that showed ambition. He was enamored by that, which led to him eventually signing with the 76ers. It was a tough pill to swallow for some teams that wanted to sign him, including his former team, the Miami Heat.
As one of the Heat's stars, Adebayo would have loved to have James setting up for lobs and pick-and-rolls. It would have been an electric trio between Bam, LeBron, and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Unfortunately, it did not pan out for the team from South Beach.
While they managed to sign LeBron 16 years ago, Philly was too enticing to pass up. Adebayo was disappointed because the Heat would have been a much better team, but he is happy with what they have now. Adebayo and Antetokounmpo in the same frontcourt is dangerous, and they know that too.

QQQ's 89% price-only return since GPIQ's inception already outpaces GPIQ's 89% total return with all distributions reinvested, before counting QQQ's own dividends.

If you bought Goldman Sachs Nasdaq-100 Core Premium Income ETF (NYSEARCA:GPIQ) at launch expecting to capture the Nasdaq-100's upside while collecting high monthly income, you may have been disappointed in July. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), the fund's largest single exposure, ripped 15.23% higher in the month on a blockbuster earnings beat. GPIQ fell 6.1% during the same period. That performance gap reflects the fund's strategy working exactly as designed.
GPIQ has an expense ratio of 0.29% a year, or roughly $29 annually per $10,000 invested. Set against Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:QQQ), the mainstream Nasdaq-100 mirror commonly quoted around 0.20% ($20 per $10,000), the fee gap looks trivial. Over 20 years, that spread compounds to just a few hundred dollars.

Both the former prince Andrew and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, are now dealing with something called the consequences of their own actions. And for people who are not used to that, it can be hard. Andrew was stripped of his **** les, ordered to vacate his home at Royal Lodge, and is now under official investigation by the police. Fergie's ties to Jeffrey Epstein, meanwhile, continue to be reported all over.
Amid that, Hollywood insider Rob Shuter reports that Ferguson is once again looking for a place to disappear after her location in Switzerland was exposed. She was previously staying at the late Paddy McNally's chalet in Verbier, but not everyone knows where she is.

Michael Brennan played alongside Rickie Fowler during the third round of the Rocket Classic on Saturday.
Brennan was disappointed to bogey his final hole to drop back to 14-under par, but he would have been delighted with his round overall.
Brennan played really well on day three at the Rocket Classic, firing a round of six-under par 64 to trail the leader by just one stroke.
Meanwhile, Fowler produced a really strong finish, making three birdies in his final six holes to end up three strokes off the lead.

La Liga giants Real Madrid have late this week closed a deal for a fresh addition to the club's defensive ranks at academy level. This comes after Los Blancos reached an agreement with Valencia to bring in youngster Hugo Giner.
Giner, for his part, is a 17-year-old defender, who chiefly operates at left-back. The teen has long been considered one of the standout up-and-coming talents in Valencia's famed youth system, hailed for his abilities on both sides of the ball.
Such gifts have seen Giner already establish himself as a Spanish youth international, boasting the captain's armband at club level, too.
Safe to say, then, that all of a Los Che persuasion will no doubt be disappointed to learn of the latest developments surrounding their young stopper's future.
As per a report from COPE:

She might not have got the gold medal she craved, but the Commonwealth Games have been an "amazing" experience for Summer Shaw.
The 22-year-old from Camberley in Surrey claimed Scotland's first judo medal in Glasgow by beating Botho Babutso of Botswana in the bronze-medal match of the 48kg event.
Shaw forced Babutso into submission with an arm lock to win by ippon inside one minute and 32 seconds, but her chances of gold were ended by India's Asmita Dey.
"I'll see her at the Games the next time in four years," Shaw jokingly said to BBC Sport Scotland about Dey. "She beat me on home soil, so I'll beat her on home soil.
"I'm a little disappointed, because I really came here wanting gold. I was number four in the competition, I lost to the number one seed, I was just so close to beating her. But it was so much fun. Just amazing."
