Scott is not ruling out a no-show, while Day can’t wait to have a go at getting a gold medal round his neck.

So after all the speculation yesterday, Rory has posted a video of himself working out. The video is very clear in showing him put weight on the ankle and ankle ligament he busted. If you ask us, he looks ready to go next week at the PGA Championships. He must be itching to show Jordan Spieth who's boss at Whistling Straits.
Given the length and par combination, it doesn’t take much of a genius to work out there are some long par 4’s round the South Course at Firestone, and length off the tee is certainly important.

Cinderella Story!! When 20 year-old Korean Jin-Young Ko turned up for the Ricoh Women's British Open last wek, she didn't have a caddie, so she asked around and the name of Jeff Brighton, a 17 year old local caddie was put forward.
