Clarke Heads Open Leaderboard

Darren Clarke is in pole position ahead of the final round of the 140th british open Championship at Royal St. George's.

The 42 year-old Ulsterman is enjoying success in spite of a barren run of form which has seen his ranking plummet to 111th in the world. He has shown experience and composure throughout, whilst the world's top two, Luke Donald and Lee Westwood, failed to make to cut on Friday and pre-tournament favourite Rory Mcilroy has failed to make an impact.

However, it will not be easy as 22-year-old American Rickie Fowler, a near novice in Links golf, has shown that age is just a number with a series of impressive rounds to leave him in contention on the final day. Also, world number six, Phil Mickleson will be in determined mood as he bids to become a 'complete player' in his opinion, by finally winning on a Links course, and if he finds some momentum early on, he will become a serious contender.

Despite the poor performances of the English contenders, there has been some success for the home fans to cheer in the form of 18-year-old Tom Lewis. The young hertfordshireman, named after veteran Tom Watson, is in a strong position to win the coveted silver medal to accredit being the best scoring amateur in the competition.

You can watch the golf over all BBC platforms from 11am GMT.

Corinthians Make Bid for Tevez

It has been reported that Brazilian club Corinthians have made a a bid to sign wantaway Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez. The figure is thought to be in excess of £30 million. However it is likely that it will be rejected as it falls below the £50 million price tag put upon the 27-year-old forward.

Tevez, who was influential in City gaining their first silverware in 35 years, would return to the club where he had most of his early career success between 2004-2006. If this transfer is successful, it would almost treble the £13.7 million south american transfer record, set by Tevez in his transfer to Corinthians from Boca Juniors.
 
However this is seen as an ambitious bid as City are holding out for £50 million in order to help their persuit of 23-year-old Sergio Aguero from Athletico Madrid. With Athletico holding out for around a £45 million figure, Tevez seems more likely to make a move into eurpoe, however, not with Inter Milan as they withdrew thier interest in the striker earlier in the week.
