Tokyo 2020 Olympics: men’s golf, athletics, boxing and more – live!

The final round of the men’s golf is underway. It’s only the backmarkers out at the moment. New Zealand’s Ryan Fox is -1 for the round after two holes and Australia’s Marc Leishman has just started his. But they are 14 and 13 behind the leader respectively, and won’t trouble the podium.

And speaking of leaders: USA’s Xander Schauffele is in gold on -14, followed by Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama on -13 and GB’s Paul Casey and Mexico’s Carlos Ortiz on -12. Ireland’s Rory McIlroy (-11) and Shane Lowry (-10), GB’s Tommy Fleetwood (-10) and Australia’s Cameron Smith (-9) are also in the mix.

The champions are in second place, eight points behind Arsenal, each having played 18 games. Performances have dipped and so has the attitude of his players. The final match before the World Cup was a 2-1 home defeat by Brentford . Since the tournament, City have beaten Leeds and Chelsea, drawn with Everton and lost their previous outing , 2-1 at Manchester United. Seven points from 15 is not championship-defending form and, when being knocked out of the Carabao Cup by Southampton is factored in, Guardiola can see City’s campaign derailing.

JD Vance says US needs control of Greenland to fend off China and Russia

Vice-president criticises Denmark’s treatment of Arctic island and says it should come under US ‘security umbrella’ JD Vance told troops in Greenland that the US has to gain control of the Arctic island to stop the threat of China and Russia as he doubled down on criticising Denmark, which he said “have not done a good job”. Under increasingly strained relations between the White House and Greenland and Denmark, the US vice-president said during a visit to Pituffik space base on Friday: “Our message to Denmark is very simple: You have not done a good job by the people of Greenland.
