Rickie Fowler wins Rocket Mortgage Classic in play-off to end long barren run
Rickie Fowler snapped a barren run of over four years with victory in the Rocket Mortgage Classic at Detroit Golf Club. Fowler’s game unravelled following his win at the Waste Management Phoenix Open on Super Bowl Sunday in 2019. Ad He slipped to a low of 185 in the world, but reconnected with coach Butch Harmon at the start of 2023 and the hard work on the range began to bear fruit with an upturn in form.
"If Shoe Was On The Other Foot...": Ben Stokes' Blunt Take On Jonny Bairstow Run-Out
England captain Ben Stokes insisted he would not have wanted to win a game of cricket with the kind of dismissal that led to Jonny Bairstow's controversial exit during Australia's victory in the second Ashes Test at Lord's. Shortly before lunch on Sunday's final day, Bairstow -- the last of England's recognised batsmen -- fell for 10 in bizarre fashion when he wandered out of his ground after ducking a Cameron Green bouncer and quick-thinking wicketkeeper Alex Carey under-armed the ball onto the stumps.
"All You'll Ever Be Remembered For...": Stuart Broad Livid Over Jonny Bairstow Run-Out During Ashes 2023
Jonny Bairstow's controversial dismissal in the second Ashes Test sent the Lord's crowd into an unprecedented rage as Australia players were abused by spectators in the famous Pavilion Long Room. Bairstow was given out when Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey threw the ball at the stumps after the England batsman walked out of his crease after ducking under a Cameron Green bouncer. There was confusion in the middle, Bairstow seemingly believing the ball was dead at the end of the over but Australia were happy to proceed with a deeply divisive appeal. The umpires sent the decision upstairs for review by TV umpire Marais Erasmus, who had no option but to confirm Bairstow's stumping dismissal.
Watch: Australian Players Booed At Lord's After Jonny Bairstow's Controversial Run-Out During Ashes 2023
Jonny Bairstow's dismissal on Day 5 of the second Ashes Test between England and Australia sparked major controversy at Lord's with the Australian players getting booed by a major section of the crowd. During the 52nd over of England's second innings, Bairstow ducked a bouncer from Cameron Green and after the ball was safely inside wicket-keeper Alex Carey's gloves, he decided to leave his crease to have a chat with Ben Stokes on the non-striker end. However, the ball was not dead yet and a direct hit from Carey resulted in a massively controversial run-out. It is common practice among batters to inform the keeper or the umpire before they leave the crease after any ball but Bairstow did not do it on this occasion and Australia decided to not withdraw their appeal.
