Saturday Sport: Soccer and Golf
World Soccer
fans will be unsurprised to know that today and tomorrow the Europeans players
are all involved in nations play, specifically the UEFA Nations League. Nations play began in early September, and
this weekend, Days Five and Six are being played out across Europe. The conclusion of matchday six comes on
Tuesday. Those teams advancing to the
semifinals will play in June, and later that month, for the championship.
Of the 55
teams involved, the vast majority are truly in what could be widely described
as "Europe." Kazakhstan is the farthest east. Israel is also included in the
tournament. Today's matches include
Turkey vs. Sweden, Malta vs. Kosovo,
Romania vs. Lithuania, Serbia vs. Montenegro, Azerbaijan vs. the Faroe Islands,
Albania vs. Scotland, and Italy vs. Portugal.
Spain, Portugal, Belgium and France seem solid in League A, but Germany
has already been relegated for League B for next year's play. Denmark is certain of League A in next year's
play.
Golf fans
may want to watch the European Golf Championships from Dubai. Namely,
this is the DP World Tour Championship third-round play from Jumeirah Golf
Estates in Dubai. This season finale has a purse of $8 million, plus bonuses
for top Race To Dubai finishers.
Jon Rahm won
the event last year. Matt Wallace
currently leads at -11, with two other Englishmen, Danny Willet and Jordan
Smith, just behind at -10, with Spaniard Adrián Otaegui Jaúregui also at -10,
and American Patrick Reed in fifth place at 9 under par.
PGA fans
will want to catch the The RSM Classic from the Seaside course at Sea Island
Resort in Georgia. This is the ninth year of this $6.4 million event, the last
official full-field Tour event until 2019.
Emirates Australian Open final-round play is held today from The Lakes Golf
Club in Sydney. Australia's Cameron
Davis shot a final-round 64 to win last year, edging Jonas Blixt and Matt Jones
by one shot.
