we can hear from tommy fleetwood now. it was a very strong round-off golf and i hit a lot of the golf shots and probably —6, when you're out there you and your hitting the shots and when you come in you think, yeah, that was really, really good. and it will be a tough score, if you went out you would not fancy beating —6 so i think that is a good indication of how good it was.|j beating —6 so i think that is a good indication of how good it was. i am ina great indication of how good it was. i am in a great position going into the third day. i was probably top ten going into the third day at birkdale la st going into the third day at birkdale last year, so similar enough but i'm happy, i feel like last year, so similar enough but i'm happy, ifeel like i played in the toughest of the conditions and definitely our side of the draw, we had to tough it out a little bit, it was a little more difficult, so i am happy to be in with a shout and hopefully i can go out and play well again tomorrow and then that will be again t

is england's tommy fleetwood ready for an assault on the open? we'll hear his thoughts ahead of this year's edition at carnoustie. hello and welcome to sportsday. good evening. "allez les bleus" is the cry once again in paris, as 20 years on from their first triumph, france get the chance to celebrate world cup success. the players took the trophy on an open top bus parade along the champs elysees where they were met by hundreds of thousands of elated fans hoping for a glimpse of their latest idols. our correspondent hugh schofield was amongst the crowd. that is arora from the guts of france. there must be half a million or more on the champs elysees, a crowd i have never seen, more than welcomed general de gaulle at the end of the second world war and here we are, the victors of the world cup. air horns and cheering. have you ever heard such a noise? the crowd has gone crazy, they have been waiting here for two or three hours, it's very hot and then out of the smoke like something out of gotterdammerung, a bus appeared carrying their champions,

british eyes falling on tommy fleetwood and rory mcilroy. tommy fleetwood and rory mcilroy. tommy fleetwood and rory mcilroy. tommy fleetwood slightly disappointed with a round of 71 yesterday and he will look for a fast start, as will rory mcilroy, both on five under. four behind the lead. rory mcilroy has won and open championship in 2014 and he hopes he will be able to draw on that in the final round. i have got a bit of experience at this, maybe more so than some of the other guys on the leaderboa rd, than some of the other guys on the leaderboard, but the leaderboard is packed with a lot of very, very good players. the only good thing is there are not many players between me and the lead. it is not that bunch. a lot of people behind that between five and nine only a handful of guys, which is nice. he might wa nt to of guys, which is nice. he might want to look at name alongside him on the leaderboard, tiger woods also on the leaderboard, tiger woods also on five under. an impressive round from him yesterday. who would think that tiger woods is being contention for anoth

tommy fleetwood as well dropping away. it looks as if it could be a battle between those americans at the top of the leaderboard. jordan spieth and xander schauffele. someone we didn't know great deal about. those two setting the field alight. xander schauffele almost drained a monster putt as they approached the turn. you mentioned rory mcilroy and tommy fleetwood. a lot of missed putts? yeah, that is the problem —— been the problem rory mcilroy today and in the past. if he seems to get his putter going and he has a hot streak, he can build on that. he has missed a few. that is costing him. when he came into its last round he said he needed a fast start and he just wasn't able to get that with a couple of bogeys in that round. he has just pulled back a couple of bogeys in that round. he hasjust pulled back a birdie. disappointment for him. tommy fleetwood as well. people expecting big things from him coming into the championship. not least because he holds the course record at carnoustie. he shot is 63 last year at th

let's hearfrom tommy fleetwood who was clearly delighted with his round yesterday. i can't lie about it. if i could pick one tournament in my life to win, it would be the open. i've never been anywhere near before. so far, for two rounds, i'm up there on the leaderboard. but, yeah, it would be something to have in my career that would be amazing. by the time i'm done, whenever it is, when i'm playing, the open is something i would like. it's amazing, isn't it, for tommy fleetwood, just how much it would mean to win the open. he has history with this course at carnoustie. he holds the course record. with favourable conditions, you would certainly back him when he goes out later. he goes out at ten to four. then there's too leaders, johnson and kisner go out at out at apm. looking fantastic behind you, there. and you yourself, of course! it looks like everton are about to make their biggest signing of the summer. they're close to bringing in the brazilian forward, richarlison, from watford in a deal that could be worth up to £50 million. he's well known to the new ev

and then tommy fleetwood on five. —— five. jordan spieth is putting a little crushed together butjustin spieth is putting a little crushed together but justin rose spieth is putting a little crushed together butjustin rose is struggling. justin rose will really need to get his game together heading into the end of his second round. we can hearfrom tommy fleetwood now after that impressive round today. it was a very strong round today. it was a very strong round of golf and i hit a lot of good golf shots and probably —6, when you are out there you hit those shots and when you come in, you think, that was really, really good. if you went out you would not really fa ncy if you went out you would not really fancy beating —6 out there so i think that is a good indication of how good it was. yeah, really impressive when you consider that the birdied the last, the 18th which is notoriously difficult here at carnoustie, as kevin kisner hasjust found out. he has found the burden, so his two—shot lead is under threat. i was just w

tommy fleetwood, they have changed the face of the leaderboard. tommy they have changed the face of the leaderboa rd. tommy fleetwood, they have changed the face of the leaderboard. tommy fleetwood, top golfer in europe last season, looks more like a rock star than a golfer, he has been delighting people in the galleries there, he has put himself at the top of the leaderboard. rory mcilroy was still driving it, not as much as yesterday, into the long grass, but sinking putts, and he has also put himself in touch with the leaders there. it is not all about the home nations, though, a lot of people are at carnoustie just to see one man — no prizes for guessing who, tiger woods, and what a round for tiger, still out, playing through the rain and the wind. he is, well, getting as many birdies as bogies, unfortunately, but he is still out there and stilljust bogies, unfortunately, but he is still out there and still just about in touch. zachjohnson is the co—leader, we will see him in a second. he won at st andrews a few yea rs second. he won at st

birdies in the rain for rory mcilroy and tommy fleetwood. the leaderboard at the open on day two is starting to change. some of the big names, expected names, appearing... john watson is there for us. john, some of these big guys now are starting to roll the ball—mac m, —— ball—mac in, starting to look good? yes, let's start with the brits, with the changing conditions, more stick on the fairways and the greens proving more receptive, certainly the case for tommy fleetwood today who moved to 5—under, really impressive road from him, producing three birdies in his front nine and three birdies in his front nine and three in his back nine, in what was a bogey free round frame. tommy fleetwood, the world number ten, who holds the course record at carnoustie. he was delighted, walking away, hiding an impressive score. as did rory mcilroy, one shot further back on ll—under —— carding and address of store. but a bogey at 15 saw him drop a shot further back —— an impressive score. consecutive 69s for rory mcilroy. still out at th

tommy fleetwood. not far behind, rory mcilroy, it can the second round of 69, four underfor the championship. he is in the hunt will stop but while he wore, tiger started with a whimper. his opening few holes wide of the mark, his ball into the crowd. but back—to—back birdies at four and then five steadied the ship. tiger finishing on even par and headed for the weekend. the world number one dustin johnson will not be there after five over par opening round, a double bogey on the last ended his challenge. sometimes, you just need luck on your side. it hits the wall and comes right back. but of all the early starters, it was zach johnson who made the best of the conditions. the american's six under and in the clubhouse as the leader. but not for long as the rains stopped, he took advantage. at home in the sun, and making it look easy. until the 18th, beaten by and into the water. yum at it was one of the few mistakes he made. a double bogey at the last and becoming a 4—way tie for the lead. perha

england's tommy fleetwood is currently fifth after shooting the best round of the championship so far. and northern ireland's rory mcilroy is just one shot behind him. ? both of them are very close to the joint tournament leaders — as our sports correspondent katherine downes reports. an early start and the rain arrive. for the most dedicated spej afors 5°99y for the most dedicated spej afors soggy shoes and hours spent huddling under a brolly but brave the elms and the rewards were rich. at 7 pope 30 tommy fleetwood took to the course, and shot the best round of the open so far, he finished on five under. had some time on the range last night, and, came out today and hit it better put it in position all day, and holed a few putts, in tough conditions and 65, yeah, it is really good round of golf in the end. a round 20 minutes after he teed off rory mcilroy was under way and on the hunt. rory relirning the damp on the hunt. rory relirning the damp on the grass, while dodging the. dam in the grass, while dodging the. dam in the air. to go four under. —— the damp in the air. mean

is tommy fleetwood. the 27—year—old from southport secured a second place finish at the us open earlier this year. he goes into this tournament off the back of a rapid rise up the world rankings, he's now inside the world's top 10. expectations are wrapped, but i don't feel any different about being up don't feel any different about being up there in the world rankings. it is nice to have that expectation. hopefully more to come. as long as we keep improving, that is all that matters. generally, it doesn't matters. generally, it doesn't matter where you are in the world. have england left us anything from the 2018 world cup? hopes, fears. that's all from sportsday. donald trump and vladimir putin have both hailed their helsinki meeting as a success. president putin acknowledged that he had wanted donald trump to win, but denied that he had interfered. resident trump pointedly refused to back repeated allegations by us intelligence that mr putin did interfere. i think that it is a disaster for a count

the open now wide open, this was tommy fleetwood taking a share of the lead. there were plenty on course to wrestle it away again. and now rory mcilroy is having his say. no one has been allowed to feel at home on moving day. adam wilde, bbc news. let's take a look at the leaderboard. jordan spieth out in front, he got his round off superbly then it is rory mcilroy with zach johnson also and that is the name tiger woods at five under. justin rose putting himself into contention with that without listing round of 64 today on four under par. it was really interesting here, hearing the thoughts of tiger woods coming into this open championship. he felt that this open championship. he felt that this was his best chance of winning another major. he has not won a major since the us open in 2008, his last open championship came in 2006, but he has pulled himself into contention in what is going to be a fascinating final day tomorrow. 14 justin rose, should he win here? i am realistic that might be with the margin he has to make up, he could move to world number one,

tommy fleetwood and rory mcilroy are both in the mix. tommy fleetwood says it would be very special if he can last the distance and become the first englishman since 1992 to win the open. at the halfway point, he is just one shot off the lead, as tim hague reports. day two of the oldest golf event going, and unlike the fine 5un5hine of the first round, carnoustie would offer some other challenges today. not that they affected tommy fleetwood. whatever the weather, the englishman i5 fleetwood. whatever the weather, the englishman is in fine form, and his 65 put5 englishman is in fine form, and his 65 puts him right into contention. when you are out there you hit the shot5, when you are out there you hit the shots, and when you come in you think, yes, that was really, really good. and it will be a tough 5core. if you went out, you wouldn't really fa ncy if you went out, you wouldn't really fancy beating 6—under out there, so i think that is a good indication of how good it was. on the 2014 winter may not be far off either. rory mcilroy,

tommy fleetwood and rory mcilroy, perhaps still in contention for the home nations. just couldn't mount the charge they were after today. the full leaderboard is on the bbc sport website. lewis hamilton will start from 14th on the grid in tomorrow's german grand prix. he tried to push his mercedes back to the pits after breaking down in the first qualifying session. he is eight points behind sebastian vettel, he will be hopeful of increasing the lead as he starts his home race from pole position. world cup fever has returned this weekend as the women's hockey world cup got under way in london. england's bid for glory got off toa london. england's bid for glory got off to a sachet quiche start. they had to battle from 1—0 down that the draw. for england in pool b it is the united states who were beaten by ireland earlier, 3—1. the green army are top of the group for now, which isa are top of the group for now, which is a great start for ireland in their first world cup is a great start for ireland in theirfirst world cup in 16 is a great start for ireland in their

england's tommy fleetwood has been on the verge of a major win before. could this be his year at the open? while woods has won it three times, back from injury and as always, drawing a huge crowd, but it's dangerous to get too close to a misfiring tiger. luckily in this weather, umbrellas make effective protective shields. there are some benefits to a few hours of drizzle in the middle of the scottish summer. in the last few minutes, we have a new leader, 2015 open champion zach johnson going to six under par, overtaking england's tommy fleetwood and overnight leader kevin kisner who is out on the course at the moment, they are both at five under, rory mcilroy just one moment, they are both at five under, rory mcilroyjust one shot back on four under and the weather is expected to change again, the rain moving away with better conditions coming out for the later starters, hoping to make it through the cut and into the weekend. thank you, katherine downes at carnoustie. the youngest spitfire pilot to fight in the battle of britain, geoffrey wellum, has die

tommy fleetwood and rory mcilroy four shots behind and tommy fleetwood with a level par 71 yesterday. rory mcilroy, disappointed with the way he played. he could not follow up his impressive rounds. tiger woods played brilliantly. every one of his six birdies yesterday greeted with huge cheers as he produced his best round at open championship in seven yea rs, round at open championship in seven years, his round at open championship in seven yea rs, his lowest round at open championship in seven years, his lowest round in a major in seven years with tiger woods up there on the leaderboard with five under yesterday. what can he produce today? he is delighted he put himself in contention at another major. he has not won one for several years following the missed yea rs, several years following the missed years, he missed two years at the open following back surgery. he is delighted to be in contention. i'm right there. i have a chance at this which is great. i have shown that i have been there close enough for the chance to win this year. given what happened the last few years, i did no

slightly disappointing round of 71 for tommy fleetwood yesterday, he could not follow up his round of 65 on friday. worth pointing out that tommy fleetwood holds the course record with 63 in the alfred dunhill links last year and he can draw upon that as he heads to his final round today, four shots of the leaders and also rory mcilroy, slightly disappointing from him yesterday. four shots off the lead and saying he is desperate to get out today and will be looking forward to getting the driver back in his hand. he said after his round yesterday he wishes he was closer to the leaders but he has won an open championship before. let's not rule him out as he is still in contentious. tiger woods, a name we did not expect to see close to the top. also on five under, when you consider he has been away from the open two years, following the back surgery open two years, following the back surgery but delighted to be back and he felt coming into this the open was his best chance of winning another major. he is delighted to be in contention. i have got a chance, which is great. i have got a cha

the open now wide open, this was tommy fleetwood taking a share of the lead. there were plenty of course to wrestle it away again. the american pairof wrestle it away again. the american pair of zachjohnson wrestle it away again. the american pair of zach johnson and wrestle it away again. the american pair of zachjohnson and kevin kisner remained amongst the players to catch and with competition is fierce, no one yet seems making themselves at home on moving day. adam wilde, bbc news. young let's take a look at the leaderboard. jordan spieth out in front, he got his round off superbly at the start, eagle in the first, and then kevin kisnerjust one shot behind on eight under and then zach johnson and rory mcilroy a couple shot further back on six under, tommy fleetwood has dropped back to three under but then we can see tiger woods without really impressive round today. you just wonder what he could produce tomorrow. you do wonder. he blew hot and cold, tiger woods, across the first two his round rounds, really got the galleries going. justin rose, who almost

tommy fleetwood is another englishman close to the top, on five under, one shot away from the lead. after coming second at the us open this year, he has got his eye on the claretjug. i can't lie about it. if i could pick one tournament in my life to win, it would be the open. i've never been anywhere near before. so far, after two rounds, i'm up there on the leaderboard, but it would be something to have in my career that would be amazing by the time i'm done with... whenever i'm playing... the open is something i would like. tommy fleetwood one of the favourites to win the title at carnoustie this year but let's look at the leaderboard as it stands. the americans out in front. the 2015 open champion jack —— americans out in front. the 2015 open championjack —— zachjohnson at the top and kevin kisner, who threw away a two shot lead last night by hitting his approach shot into the barry burn at the 18th. rory mcilroy is also in the mix on four under par. he is tied with four other players. it is tight at the top of the leaderboard, perfect conditions at carnoustie for links g

britain's tommy fleetwood is one of a number of european golfers looking to break a us stranglehold on majors. fleetwood says he won't let his ranking affect his concentration. the us open runner—up is ranked tenth in the world after a good couple of years, and is on the hunt for a first major title. i don't feel any different about being up there in the world ranking. it isjust... it being up there in the world ranking. it is just... it is what it is. it is nice to have the expectation. it shows you are doing something right. and hopefully more to come. as long as we keep improving, that is all that matters. and generally it doesn't matter where you are in the world. you still have to hit the golf shots when it comes to it and thatis golf shots when it comes to it and that is all that matters. i am not as calm as i look, i don't think. but i am naturally and calmish person, surrounded by friends. and at the end of the day, play good or bad, it is what it is, but i know i have put the work in and that is all it is, just take it from there. world heavyweight champion anthony joshua ha

and coming up in sportsday we will have the latest from the open at carnoustie, where tommy fleetwood and rory mcilory have managed to put themselves into contention despite periods of heavy rain. the football world cup may be gone but it is the turn of the best hockey players in the world to entertain at their world cup as england women aim for more medal success in london. there is also news from the tour de france, where geraint thomas still leads and who is fastest in practice for the german grand prix. all of that coming up at half past six. but now, on bbc music is time for the film review. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. you cannot fail to notice that out this week is mamma mia! here we go again. i know you are a huge fan, i can't wait to discuss this with you! also out this week, jodie foster in hotel artemis and a low—budget but brave film the receptionist. here we go again! so, where do you stand on the first mamma mia! here we go again. i really did not think the first one was very good.”

let's hear then from the two leading britons — rory mcilroy, and first, tommy fleetwood. it was a strong run of golf. and i think... six under. when you are out there and you hit the shots, and you think "that was really good" and record types got it it went out, you would not fancy being at six under. that is a indication of how good it was. lam in lamina i am in a great position going into the third day. i was probably top ten going into the third day at the tour last year. but some were not. i am happy in a the toughest of conditions and our side of the draw, we had to tough it out a little bit. it was more difficult so i am happy to be in with the group and hopefully i can go out and play well again tomorrow and then that would bea again tomorrow and then that would be a big chance going into sunday. wales' geraint thomas still holds the overall lead in the tour de france just over halfway through the race. today's 13th stage was won by slovakia's peter sagan, who just managed to hold off the charge of alexander kristoff to win by a wheel's length. sagan is the runawa

and another man among the british contenders is tommy fleetwood. the 27—year—old from southport secured a second place finish at the us open earlier this year. he goes into this tournament off the back of a rapid rise up the world rankings, he's now inside the world's top 10. expectations are wrapped, but i don't feel any different about being up don't feel any different about being up there in the world rankings. it is nice to have that expectation. hopefully more to come. a5 is nice to have that expectation. hopefully more to come. as long as we keep improving, that is all that matters. generally, it doesn't matters. generally, it doesn't matter where you are in the world. have england left us anything from the 2018 world cup? hopes, fears. that's all from sportsday.

tommy fleetwood just a shot behind and defending championjordan spieth is three shots off the lead. tiger woods will make the cut — he's even par. formula 1 rolls into hockenheim for the german grand prix this weekend. and after his amazing drive at the last race in britain, lewis hamilton will be hoping to build—on the positive momentum as he battles for the championship. today, though, max verstappen laid down the surprise early marker in practise and jennie gow was watching for us. well, the german grand prix took a break last year but we are back here at the hockenheim, and what a fantastic weekend it is going to be. we have already had a lot of action on and off the track, both of the mercedes drivers signing new contracts, lewis hamilton on a multi—million—pound deal for two years and valtteri bottas, his team—mate, signing up for another year with an option for another year on top of that. so, good news for mercedes but on the track it was red all who dominated, daniel ricciardo the fastest in the first session, max verstappen fastest in the second. however, there i

also putting a run together is tommy fleetwood. he knows this cause well. he holds the course record here at carnoustie and he picked up back—to—back birdies at the fourth and fifth. he hasjust picked up another at the ninth, so three birdies for tommy fleetwood, moving from one over overnight to two under now. huge crowds yesterday for tiger woods, making his two under now. huge crowds yesterday fortigerwoods, making his open return after a two—year absence. he was impressive, and in tough conditions as well. he had a late tee time at three .20, but impressive when you consider that he birdied two birdies in his first four holes. he faded a bit as the green starts to bubble up, with a few missed putts and he finished level par at the end of yesterday. it will be interesting to see how he fares when he heads out later. jordan spieth has yet to go as well, the defending champion. he finished on one over. but with rory mcilroy and tommy fleetwood with a couple of birdies already, it shows that the birdies already, it shows that the birdies are out there

this was tommy fleetwood taking his share of the league. there were plenty trying to wrestle it away. kevin remains bright among the leaders. with competition is fierce, no one yet been allowed to feel at home on moving day. adam wilde, bbc news. let‘s ta ke moving day. adam wilde, bbc news. let‘s take a look at the leaderboard then. you could see it is as you were. in the chasing pack, jordan just a shot behind on a seven under and there you can see tiger woods on five under with that bullet string round. six birdies, just the one bogey setting himself up with a tilt at what could be another open title tomorrow. justin rose pulling himself back into contention with that really impressive round of 6a today. for under par, now four shots off the lead. you mentioned that incredible round forjustin rose but northern ireland ‘s rory mcelroy still in contention? he is indeed. we saw that impressive round once again from him yesterday, back to back, 69, he resumed on four under par, just struggling to get his game together a little bit at t

john, who should my money be — on tommy fleetwood, justin rose or maybe rory mcilroy? that is the big question which i think the british contingent is asking themselves, and the european contingent. they have too tried to wrestle back control of the majors, the americans holding all four currently. that will be the challenge heading into the weekend. with tiger woods in the field after a two—year absence from the open, how he would love to put himself in a challenging position heading into the final round come sunday. you talk about some of the names, tommy fleetwood played very well at the us open, finishing one shot behind eventual winner. justin rose, the world number three, and rory mcilroy, who won the open in 2014. but those players only too aware that they must wrestle back control of those major titles as they look to challenge this weekend. it's so much depth, if it's not jordan itjust it's so much depth, if it's not jordan it just and, it's so much depth, if it's not jordan itjust and, if it is not him it is brooks, patrick, there are so many great players

tommy fleetwood and rory mcilroy are both well in the mix at the open championship. they're both chasing the americans, though. 0vernight leader kevin kisner remains at the top of the leaderboard on six under, and he's now joined by zach johnson who played brilliantly yesterday. fleetwood is aiming to become the first englishman since 1992 to win it, and he shot the best second round of all, a 65, to rocket up the leaderboard from nowhere. mcilroy, of course, won the open in 201a, and put together another tidy round of 69 and is four under par. i cannot lie, if i could pick one tournament in my life to win, it would be the open. i have never been anywhere near before. so far, after two michael raynes, i am up there on the leaderboard, but it would be something to have in my career that would be amazing. —— two rounds. something to have in my career that would be amazing. -- two rounds. the open is something i would like. i was going well to 11 holes, i had not made a bogey and i would love to have had a bogey free round, but i made enough birdies to cancel them o
