Scottie Scheffler shares seven-way lead on congested US PGA leaderboard

• American world No 1 among those shooting 3-under 67s

• Rory McIlroy finishes on four-over after four straight bogeys

It was gridlock on the opening day of the US PGA, where the leaderboard was backed up like Philly traffic. By the time it was all over, seven men were tied in the lead on three-under par, and another 42 were within three shots of them. Altogether a third of the field was within easy reach of the lead. It was record for a major championship, and they have been playing them since 1860. There are 16 major winners spread among them, including, ominously for everyone else, that man Scottie Scheffler. All the talk before the tournament was that it would be a turkey shoot, but it turned out to be one long tailback. The only thing missing was the traffic police.

Actually they had one of them, too, or something near enough. A rules official on the first tee gave the 27-year-old South African Garrick Higgo a two-shot penalty for arriving 30 seconds late from the practice green. He still shot a 69. The really odd thing was that in a field where even a man who dropped two shots because he missed his tee time managed to end the day in contention, a couple of the biggest names in the game wound up all but out of it.

UK in 'political turmoil: Labour MPs openly question whether Labour will survive as political force'

At a moment of profound instability in British politics, with the Labour Party engulfed by internal revolt, François Picard welcomes Owen Jones, British journalist and political commentator. He offers an unsparing diagnosis of a political movement at a crossroads. “The country is in political turmoil,” Jones declares at the outset. What follows is not merely commentary on a leadership race, but a wider analysis of institutional decay and electoral fragmentation. With striking candour, Jones argues that Labour’s crisis has moved beyond a temporary setback into something more existential: “Their support now is at historic low levels… some Labour MPs have started to openly question whether the Labour Party will survive as a political force in this country.” Yet amid this diagnosis of collapse, Jones identifies an emerging figure around whom political hopes are now being projected. “The hope Labour have with Andy Burnham,” he explains, “is that he can cast a wider net.” Whether Burnham represents renewal, or simply another vessel for a party desperate for rescue, becomes one of the interview’s central questions. Across issues ranging from Keir Starmer’s faltering leadership, Nigel Farage’s populist resilience, the rise of Reform UK, the urban advance of the Green Party of England and Wales, and Labour’s unresolved European strategy, Jones paints a portrait of a political system undergoing not adjustment, but realignment.

Prostate cancer screening can save lives but ‘absolute benefit is small’, study says

Although blood test reduces deaths by two for every 1,000 men screened, many could face unnecessary treatment

Screening for prostate cancer with a blood test can save men’s lives, but the “absolute benefit is small” and many men could face unnecessary treatment and medical complications, according to the most comprehensive study yet.

In a review that analysed six trials involving nearly 800,000 men, screening with the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test reduced prostate cancer deaths by two for every 1,000 men screened, meaning 500 men must be screened to prevent one death from the disease.
