Golf fans flocking to Northern Ireland's north coast to watch The Open will be hoping to see more than a fair share of birdies and eagles. But it is a team of birdies of the feathered variety that are working hard to protect the golfing public over the coming days. A cast of Harris hawks has been drafted in by tournament organisers to keep hungry seagulls away from the course. Falconer David Trenier told BBC News NI the hawks are making sure golf fans can enjoy their food in peace. "They are very, very sociable, used to working with large crowds and are big enough to spook the gulls enough to move them off," he said. Four hawks have been on the course "morning and night" since the gates opened to the public on Sunday, Mr Trenier said. The birds - named Aurora, Belle, Caine and Cheyenne - will rotate in shifts throughout the tournament. The team from Clear Skies Falconry Pest Control is specifically tasked with patrolling the skies over areas where food is served. Hawks Cheyenne (left) and Caine (right) and their handlers are part of a team that patrol the skies over the Portrush golf course Situated on the north Antrim coast, Portrush is a familiar haunt for seagulls. Often, Mr Trenier said, the gulls can have "an aggressive nature for food". "When they come in, the presence of the hawk on the course puts them off, they make sure the gulls don't come down" he said. They are the ideal bird for the job, Mr Trenier added, and a "clean and green method of pest control". It is a method used frequently at other major sporting events. Previous Open Championships at Troon and St Andrews have similarly called on birds of prey, while Rufus, an American Harris hawk, has been scaring pigeons at Wimbledon for more than 15 years. Rufus first patrolled Wimbledon in 2008, when he was only 16 weeks old The tournament-going public seem to love them, Mr Trenier said. "It is so lovely to see the public reaction, they want to talk and they want to ask questions. "The kids want to have a picture taken and know more about them." Pilgrim, a 24-year-old bald eagle, will be at The Open this weekend The Harris hawks will be joined over the weekend by Pilgrim - Clear Skies Falconry's 24-year-old bald eagle. "He will definitely disturb the gulls," Mr Trenier said. He added that Pilgrim's presence also tips a cap to the large contingent of American golfers playing at Portrush because the species is the national bird of the United States. More than 275,000 spectators are expected during the eight days of practice and competition, making it the largest sporting event held in Northern Ireland.

The Texas Longhorns updated their online roster ahead of SEC Media Days, adding freshmen and transfers to the list of players for the 2025 season. A few numbers were assigned to transfers and weights were updated ahead of the 2025 season. Here’s the need-to-know data plus some additional thoughts. Number updates WR Emmett Mosley V will wear No. 3. He is a sophomore listed at 6-foot-2, 205 pounds. QB Matthew Caldwell will wear No. 18. He is a senior listed at 6-foot-4, 212 pounds. K Mason Shipley will wear No. 49. He is a senior listed at 6-foot-0, 185 pounds. OL Devin Coleman will wear No. 59. He is a freshman listed at 6-foot-5, 331 pounds. OL Jordan Coleman will wear No. 78. He is a freshman listed at 6-foot-5, 350 pounds. TE Nick Townsend will wear No. 81. He is a freshman listed at 6-foot-3, 241 pounds. TE Jack Endries will wear No. 88. He is a junior listed at 6-foot-4, 240 pounds. DT Lavon Johnson will wear No. 96. He is a junior listed at 6-foot-2, 311 pounds. DT Maraad Watson will wear No. 98. He is a sophomore listed at 6-foot-3, 313 pounds. In spring ball… EDGE Colin Simmons changed to No. 1 WR Ryan Wingo changed to No. 1 DB Jelani McDonald changed to No. 4 RB Quintrevion Wisner changed to No. 5 Five-plus pound weight changes *Means summer enrollee. All previous weights come from a post-spring update to the roster. Only changes of five pounds or more are listed. RB CJ Baxter: 232 > 227 QB KJ Lacey: 183 > 189 DB Zelus Hicks: 193 > 198 DT Justus Terry: 262 > 268 WR Ryan Niblett: 192 > 187 DB Jordon Johnson-Rubell: 201 > 189 RB Rickey Stewart Jr.: 190 > 197 DB Santana Wilson: 179 > 174 LB Elijah Barnes: 239 > 244 DT Travis Shaw: Mistakenly listed at 242. Likely 342. Was 345 post-spring. EDGE Smith Orogbo: 217 > 222 OL DJ Campbell: 314 > 321 *OL Devin Coleman: 375 > 331 OL Nate Kibble: 325 > 330 OL Jaydon Chatman: 301 > 306 OL Jackson Christian: 318 > 310 OL Andre Cojoe: 320 > 335 *OL Jordan Coleman: 337 > 350 OL Connor Stroh: 346 > 341 *TE Nick Townsend: 219 > 241 DL Hero Kanu: 305 > 299 Thoughts The summer enrollees of Jordan Coleman, Devin Coleman, and Nick Townsend all prove how college athletes on dedicated nutrition and strength programs can change their bodies. Townsend, who was running track in the spring, jumped 22 pounds from his NSD 25 listing. Devin Coleman dropped over 40 pounds. Jordan Coleman gained 13 pounds. The changes aren’t limited to just summer enrollees. Lance Jackson was listed at 276 on signing day and is now 254. Rickey Stewart was 179 on signing day and is now 197. Kade Phillips, Smith Orogbo, KJ Lacey, Jordan Coleman, Michael Terry III, and Zelus Hicks have all gained at least 10 pounds since their signing day listing. There weren’t a ton of major five-pound or more changes from the current roster, but Jordon Johnson-Rubell’s drop was notable. That might entail more coverage responsibilities. Andre Cojoe gaining 15 pounds to land at 335 is continued evidence of the developmental track the coaches saw in him. He’s still a teenager. All the spring window transfers look to have good measurements, namely Maraad Watson at 313 pounds.

Changing conditions all 4 days... might give some of the older players a better chance. Reminds me of the year Darren Clarke won the Claret Jug... Cloudy, foggy, damp and cool. That's probably what comes to mind when you think of weather at the British Open, and that's exactly what players and fans are in for at Royal Portrush this week for the latest rendition of golf's oldest major. Let's take a look at the weather forecast for the 2025 Open Championship. *All forecasts courtesy of AccuWeather Thursday weather forecast at Royal Portrush Thursday will be the windiest day of the week, according to forecasters, who are calling for cloudy conditions with winds at 15-25 mph from the southeast. Expect temperatures in the upper 60s and rain showers for most of the day. Friday weather forecast at Royal Portrush Widespread showers in the morning become scattered in the afternoon on Friday, but forecasters expect a much lighter wind of 5-10 mph coming from the southwest with a high temperature around 65 degrees. Saturday weather forecast at Royal Portrush Much of the same Saturday. Cloudy with off-and-on rain, high temperatures in the mid 60s and winds from the southeast at 5-10 mph. Sunday weather forecast at Royal Portrush With the smallest chance of rain all week (40 percent), Sunday might be the most pleasant day. A mix of sun and clouds is expected, but showers could still move in for the closing stretch of the final round. Forecasters are calling for a high temperature in the upper 60s and a northwest wind at 10-15 mph.

1st hole article... British Open 2025: With controversial internal OB, is this the hardest tee shot in the Open rota? https://www.golfdigest.com/story/hardest-opening-hole-at-the-open PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland — Ask any golfer and they will tell you the most nervous they get on a golf course is the first tee. The start of the adventure. Whether you’ve warmed up properly or not, the anticipation of what is ahead can be overwhelming. For the pros, it’s exactly the same. At the 2019 Open Championship at Royal Portrush, Rory McIlroy pulled his opening tee shot out-of-bounds and later admitted he was nervous and overwhelmed by the pressure and ovation he received that morning. “I remember the ovation I got on the first tee on Thursday” he told media on Monday, “and not being prepared for it or not being ready for how I was going to feel or what I was going to feel.” McIlroy started his tournament that week with a quadruple-bogey 8, but he wasn’t alone in his struggles. The first hole and specifically the first tee shot at Royal Portrush is possibly the most demanding in the Open rota. Let me try and explain why that is. The hole measures 421 yards from the Championship tee and is flanked by out-of-bounds on both sides. Whilst there is 70 yards of space between the O.B. lines, the lack of a “safe side” offers no bail out for opening tee shots. It was on the left that McIlroy missed six years ago, while the right side was once the boundary of the course. The small, triangular plot of land to the right was originally not owned by Royal Portrush, but by a local man by the name of Hugh. When members would slice their balls on the first tee, they would say they were “hitting onto Hughie’s land.” The name stuck and thus, the hole is now named Hughie and the parcel of land is now used as a club practice area. Another factor in the challenge of the opening tee shot is the bunkers. Not necessarily their size or severity, but their positioning. When asked on Monday what he thought about the course, 2019 champion Shane Lowry was quick to point to the bunkers. “I forgot how well bunkered it is,” he said. “There’s a lot of options off tees. You just have to go with what you feel. You’re going to see a lot of people hitting different clubs off different tees.” And the first hole is a perfect example. The first trap is 260 yards from the Championship tee, bridging the fairway and first cut of rough. The second bunker is on the left but not directly across from the other bunker. It’s 20 yards further on and measures 290 yards from the tee. If a player chooses less than driver, they will favor the left-hand side of the hole and stare down this bunker, whilst also being aware of the out-of-bounds line McIlroy crossed in 2019. If instead, they opt for driver, they will then look to skirt the right-hand side of the hole and have to avoid the right bunker and out-of-bounds line. While 421 yards may not seem like a lengthy two-shot hole by modern standards, the hole does play uphill. In the final round in 2019, Lowry hit iron off the first tee, missed the fairway and had 216 yards. He made bogey, but luckily started the day with a four shot lead, ultimately winning by six. That year, it wasn’t just he and McIlroy who struggled on the first hole. There were 21 scores of double bogey or worse, with only the 475-yard 11th seeing more high numbers. Pick up a course guide from the Royal Portush pro shop this week and you’ll note the tip written in italics above the opening hole. It reads “Unless against the wind, take a 3-wood or long iron for your opening tee shot.” It seems most of the field this week will follow that advice. No doubt, all would happily take a 4. Rory would.

46 days until Texas Football: Roosevelt Leaks, a Longhorn Trailblazer 🤘 by:Joe Cook Today is 46 days until kickoff. Today, we’ll look back at Roosevelt Leaks, a Longhorn legend who wore No. 46. Roosevelt Leaks, a pivotal figure in UT football history The Texas Longhorns were 26-8 when Leaks was part of the program. A standout from Brenham (Texas), Leaks’ first season in 1972 included a 230-carry, 1099-yard, eight-touchdown campaign. He followed that up with an even better year in 1973, finishing third in Heisman Trophy voting behind Ohio State offensive lineman John Hicks, who was the runner up, and running back John Cappelletti, the winner representing Penn State. Leaks rushed 229 times for 1415 yards and 14 touchdowns, figures that lead the Southwest Conference and earned him consensus first-team All-America Honors. Leaks was the first African-American All-American produced by the Longhorn football program. Injury hampered his 1974 season. Leaks was able to rush 96 times for 409 yards and four touchdowns in 1974, but his 1972 and 1973 success paved the way for one of the best Longhorns to ever wear burnt orange to follow in his footsteps. Earl Campbell saw Leaks’ success at Texas following the integration of the football program, and it was one of the many factors that led to the Tyler Rose selecting Darrell Royal’s program. Leaks and Campbell even shared a backfield in 1974, a season where Campbell led the team in rushing as a freshman with 928 yards. Leaks was drafted by the Baltimore Colts in 1975, and he enjoyed a nine-year NFL career with Baltimore and Buffalo. Leaks was one of the best to tote the rock for the Longhorns, eventually joining the University of Texas Hall of Honor in 1985. He is an important figure in Longhorn history, not only for his on-field exploits between the lines, but also his achievements outside of them 342 yards SWC single game rushing record Roosevelt 'Rosey' Leaks' Groundbreaking Game in '73 - This Forgotten Day in Longhorns Football Off the field, his teammates called him "Sugar Bear"

Love Rosie Day 🤘 Roosevelt Leaks Position: Running Back Years: 1972-1974 Place of Birth: Brenham, TX Date of Birth: Jan 31, 1953 Jersey Number: 46 Height: 5-11 Weight: 220 High School: Brenham, TX (Brenham HS) The first African American Texas Longhorns player to earn All-America honors, Roosevelt Leaks powered his way for 2,923 yards and 26 touchdowns in just three seasons. A consensus All-America selection in 1973, Leaks finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting. His bid for three consecutive 1,000-yard rushing seasons was derailed when he suffered a serious knee injury in his senior season. Leaks recovered to play nine seasons in the NFL with the Baltimore Colts (1975-79) and Buffalo Bills (1980-83). Today, Leaks hosts an annual charity golf tournament for children in East Austin, Texas. In 2003, he became the first recipient of the Living Legends Award presented by the Ministry of Challenge.
