Wahhh! What a way to finish my season! 🤯
Course Record, British Record & European Record (we think!!) I could not have asked for a better way to end 2021.
10miles in 50.43. 💪
Thank you to everyone for the cheers around the course & for the support this season!🥰 pic.twitter.com/yPjEt4EXHn

New course record and big PB for @EilishMccolgan this morning at the Great South Run. 50:42 (unofficial) to eclipse the old record of 51:00 from the great Sonia O'Sullivan! Brilliant way to end a breakthrough season 🥳🙌 #GreatSouthRun

Darts
Michael Van Gerwen enjoyed his “phenomenal” European Championship battle with Gerwyn Price.
That was a phenomenal match to play in. @Gezzyprice is a great champion and it took my best to beat him. We both gave it everything and there will be many more battles like this. Now it time to reset and get ready for this evening 💚💚 @Winmau @ModusDarts180 @KeukenConc pic.twitter.com/LjIzzuCAAE

Golf
Matt Fitzpatrick enjoyed success at Valderrama.
"It's on the bucket list to win around Valderrama with the history that it has, and to do it bogey free Sunday as well, it's extra special"

Paul McGinley compared the PGA Tour and European Tour.
Contrasting styles of play and set ups between ET & PGAT highlighted clearly this week @SkySportsGolf the birdie fest front foot golf from Vegas versus the strategic & distance control test at Valderrama which I prefer – the modern game is now too heavily weighted to big hitting
