Justin Rose was grateful.

Delighted to have been called up by Luke to represent Team Europe in Rome! The Ryder Cup is an absolute honour to be a part of, and the intensity of the competition cannot be found elsewhere! So excited to get to feel that again!! Missing out last time around really spurred me… pic.twitter.com/3iu7TCoEAF

Formula One

Carlos Sainz was celebrating after a great birthday weekend at Monza.

🇮🇹It was a great weekend and to celebrate a podium with the tifosi is the perfect icing on the cake! Unfortunately P3 was the maximum. Good battles with the Red Bulls and Charles. I hope people enjoyed it as much as I did. Next Singapore!
