Après un premier tour en dessous de la balance (-1), Tiger a réussi à limiter les dégâts au second, malgré un début de partie catastrophique (4 tourbières dans les 5 premiers trous).

Je dois rester là-haut, en rouge (plus bas) pour me donner une chance d’être dans la course dans les neuf derniers trous dimanche....

Williams and others in the UK are being forced to find creative ways to stay cool during the region’s historic heatwave, where temperatures are expected to reach 40C over the next two days. “I thought, even if it only lowers the temperature in the house by a few degrees, it’s worth it,” Williams told As It Happens host David Cochrane.

Interior Minister Pretty Patel visited the Rwandan capital, Kigali, on Thursday to sign what the two countries have called an “economic development partnership”.
