Fed Ex Cup If you don`t win, I suppose coming second two events back to back makes up for it a little. That`s what has just happened to super-hot Jordan Spieth. Last week beaten by DJ in a playoff in New York and this week beaten on the line by good friend Justin Thomas, the latest Major winner. Spieth is bang on form for Fed Ex glory with a slender lead of less than 50 points going into leg 3 in Illinois next week, Spieth is hot favourite for it all at East lake, Atlanta in just over a 2 weeks’ time. He has played brilliantly since Royal Birkdale and just goes to prove, if you can putt you can compete. Jon Rahm and maybe Paul Casey are the only real European contenders but that`s about it this season.
Football update Looks like England are all but qualified for the World Cup in Russia next year. Amazingly, Northern Ireland are almost over the line too! Scotland, in England’s group, have given themselves a life line after two good wins as have Wales, after 5 draws they got 2 wins in a row and with the Republic of Ireland losing, could all four home nations make it to Russia next summer? Wales play Ireland in the last group match and it could be all on that game. Real squeaky bum time! Wales are playing some entertaining football but we all know its goals that win matches. October 9th will be a huge game in Cardiff.
