Elizabeth Ndudi leaps out to 6 metres 68 for a new Irish women’s senior long jump record in Champaign Illinois, beating the 14 year old existing record of Kelly Proper by 6 cm. For good measure, Ndudi leapt to 6.67 later in the meeting.
She’s European Junior Champion & just 19.

Level par today around Augusta is great golf. One player is better than -2 on their round right now and that’s Sam Burns who shot 80 yesterday & is now just one shot outside the projected cut. 30+mph wind & sun drying the course is going to make it very tricky for late starters.

Huge thanks to Irish Amateur golf info & as always my colleague on the road Brian Keogh Brian Keogh for brilliant, lucid informative colourful coverage of the Connolly’s West of Ireland Golf Championship these last 5 days. Big congratulations Keith Egan. Fitting (very fit) champion.

This is amateur golf & it might seem on the one hand idyllic & niche but at the heart of this is a duel of high sporting endeavour after 5 days of competition. I don’t cover enough of it but I’ve covered a lot over the years. Male or female, it’s arguably the purest form of golf.

Huge crowd of walkers and a lone cyclist following Keith Egan and David Brady up the fairway on The County Sligo Golf Club’s 15th hole where the Sligo man has a putt to bring it back to 2-Down

Guessing this is a familiar state of footwear right now after a round of golf on the first day of the season among players in Ireland, Britain & a lot of Northern Europe. Be patient with your ground staff. They are under severe pressure. And of course this applies to many sports.

A simple but clear explanation as to why so many world and National records are tumbling (some by large margins) these last few years. Love to see an equivalent test with competition spikes…with and without carbon plate ‘spring effect’ technology..

A little over a week to the Masters and men’s pro golf looks like it’s sinking deeper into a rut that it may struggle to extract itself from with the people that count - the fans. A lot to chew on in this chat with Paul McGinley. Interview audio included. rte.ie/sport/golf/202…
