1. #PLAYERS Graeme McDowell bounced back to form with a five-under-par 67 on a day at the Players Championship yesterday.

But the big news is Tiger Woods’ early exit. He limped out after a terrible nine holes.

Golf experts are concerned Woods may need to take a long break from the game.

2. #PLAY-OFFS Swansea managed to escape the City Ground with a creditable scoreless draw in the first round of their Championship play-off semi-final.

The visitors had Neil Taylor dismissed in the second-minute for a lunge on Lewis McGugan, but then dug deep to stay in the tie.

‘The time has come for me to go,’ he told the Kilkenny People.
