What the heck is this sporting week? McIlroy and Man United, throwing it away and coming back. Madness

Five of my takeaways from the greatest Masters: - Rory’s amazing resilience - Sometimes sport goes beyond stat trends - Valiant Justin Rose comes up just short - Lowry's horrible final round eased by McIlroy’s win - Prior form the key to Masters success www.irishtimes.com/sport/golf/2...

Frame it

I can't believe that start by Rory McIlroy at the Masters, my god. Feels like he has a rocket in his driver today, even by his standards he's hitting it absolutely miles

Can't remember ever seeing Rory play a better front 9 on Thursday than that at the Masters. Such a promising start

Good man Bo. Wins on the bag of Min Woo Lee at the Houston Open

Good first half performance by Ireland, well deserving of their lead. The front two axis of Parrott and Azaz in particular have been very promising. Win is there for the taking against what looks like a mediocre Bulgaria team. www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer...

Ireland team to play Bulgaria: Ireland: Kelleher; Doherty, Collins, O’Shea, Manning; Cullen, Knight; Johnston, Azaz, Brady; Parrott. www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer...

Heartbreak for Rovers, such a disappointing result when 1-0 up away from home and up a man for long spells over the 2 legs. They may never get a better chance of the last 16 of a European competition

My tribute to the great Conor McManus in The Irish Times www.irishtimes.com/sport/gaelic...

Damn, a legend in every sense for Monaghan, carried the hopes of the county for a long time. Often put it up to a great Dublin team by himself with virtuoso displays. One of the best forward there’s ever been in Gaelic football

Ten Golf in Spain is reporting that Tom McKibbin is set to join LIV Golf on Jon Rahm’s team. Sources would know Rahm quite well. Would be a curious move after just earning his PGA Tour card

Littler is something else in the first 4 sets of the final, wow. The confidence and clinical play on the doubles especially double 10 every time. Seems to have broken van Gerwen #darts

Always interesting cases like Van Gerwen where he was the star of the sport, everyone was expecting him to be competing for the GOAT and suddenly gets completely usurped for attention by Littler. Showing this world championships how good he is, could be a final for the ages tomorrow #darts
