Walking football end-of-season race is on!

EWN Over 50s League

• El Canadon 1 v 9 AC Be‐nahavis

Bottom of the league El Canadon found the going re‐ally tough against a well‐or‐ganised, confident and cre‐ative Benahavis side, who showed why they are top by outclassing their opponents and scoring freely in each half. There are still games to go but, on current form, it’s going to take something spe‐cial for anyone to catch them!

• Walking Dead 0 v 4 Mala‐ga

From the first whistle, Malaga’s crisp passing, quick thinking and sharp move ‐ment made it difficult for the home side, and they con ‐trolled the first half with three fine goals. Walking Dead tried hard to fight back after the break but Malaga maintained their discipline and carved out several more scoring oppor‐tunities, adding another goal to an impressive display and finishing 0‐4 winners.

• Walking Dead 2 v 0 Mala‐ga

Walking Dead took their opportunities well, while Malaga lost concentration and gave away two careless goals, one in each half. The visitors tried to make amends, but the Walking Dead defence remained solid, often forcing the opposition to misplace their passes, whilst creating chances of their own, ending up de ‐served 2‐0 winners to main‐tain pressure at the top.

Spain’s Jon Rahm wins the 2023 Masters in Augusta, Georgia

SPAIN’S Jon Rahm won the 2023 Masters after holding off the challenge of American golfer Brooks Koepka.

Rahm turned things around on the final day of the 2023 Masters at the legendary Augusta National Golf Club to win his first‐ever Masters tournament on Sun‐day, April 9.

American golfer Brooks Koepka led the field by two shots at the start of play. However, 28‐year‐old Rahm stunned his opponent by finishing on 12‐under after carding a three‐under last round of 69 to win by four shots and take the famous green jacket.

Koepka had to settle for second place, tying with the legendary Phil Mickelson. The 52‐year‐old American pulled out all the stops to finish on eight‐under after a stunning seven‐under round of 65. Further down the field, two previous champions, Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed, tied in sixth spot in this 87th edition of the event.

Scottie Scheffler, the defending 2022 Masters champi‐on could only manage a disappointing finish of four un‐der. The highest‐placed player from Great Britain and Northern Ireland was England’s Matt Fitzpatrick, the cur‐rent US Open champion.

Continuing a fine history of producing golfing champi‐ons, Rahm becomes the fourth Spaniard to win the pres‐tigious golf tournament.

Quite fittingly, his victory came on what would have been the birthday of Seve Ballesteros, the two‐time Masters champion in 1980 and 1983.

The other two Spanish golfers to win in Augusta were Sergio Garcia in 2017, and José María Olazábal who was victorious in both 1994 and 1999.
