Matondo saves Rangers in thrilling Old Firm match
The Scottish championship race, which has been the closest in over a decade, is still too close to declare definitive following Rangers' potentially season-changing comeback. Despite an initially improbable draw, Brendan Rodgers' Celtic led Philippe Clement's side by one point at the table's summit. However, this lead may prove to be crucial.

Hendy’s double propels Saints into Champions Cup quarters

Scheffler shines with talent, not flashy style
The British golf media reacted with disbelief prior to the 2006 Masters when the driver's identity was buried in the report of a car being fired at in Augusta. Former Open champion and US Ryder Cup captain Tom Lehman was unharmed when Troy Smith fired a projectile at his Cadillac. Five years later, Smith was incarcerated. Unsurprisingly, Lehman failed to cut his final Masters appearance. Presumably, he had no immediate intention of revisiting that specific region of Georgia.

As a result, he could not secure a position among the sport's elite.
