Exclusive INTERVIEW BY RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: Tyrrell Hatton uses the phrase "develop" to refer to him as an elder statesman of Europe's Ryder Cup team. 'Mad' and, as the tumultuous golfer who is so often told he must grow up, it could be a term that could be used in a variety of ways.' He can be a ball of rage who seldom allows a bad shot to fly too far before he delivers a nice insult after it.

A mother koala and her joey were both expected to see what football was all about in Queensland on Saturday, making them possibly the youngest pitch invaders of all time. The mother was arrested across the corner of a playing field in a match between Mansfield and Raceway in the Queensland Christian Soccer Association at Citipointe Christian College in Brisbane with a baby on board. During the dramatic match, the cheeky and curious marsupial temporarily lightened the atmosphere, halting play.

Because she tried to break their marriage, a boyfriend murdered his pregnant mother by stabbing her with a pair of scissors 40 times. Liam Taylor, 37, confessed to killing mother-of-four Ailish Walsh, 28, when she attempted to break up with him because she was taking drugs. In a 'exceptionally violent' attack on Miss Walsh, who was 12 weeks pregnant with her child, last year, Taylor stabbed her mother in Hackney, east London. Miss Walsh was discovered covered in blood in a high-visibility jacket near a pair of dumbbells and blood-soaked scissors. After being arrested, Taylor told police that it was 'crazy how one moment of madness can change your whole life.'

After shooting rounds of 6-under-par 65 in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, Jason Kokrak and Englishman Paul Casey are tied for the first-round lead at LIV Golf Mayakoba. The tournament launched LIV Golf's second season at El Camaleon, a course conceived by LIV CEO Greg Norman. It's LIV's first foray into Mexico and the first time staging a tournament on a course that has hosted PGA Tour tournaments. Casey and Kokrak have a two-shot lead over Peter Uihlein, Talor Gooch, and Mexico's Carlos Ortiz, who shot 4-under 67.

Due to the deep pockets linked to the LIV tour, James Erksine, who has worked with Shane Warne, Tiger Woods (pictured right) and Greg Norman, is predicting tougher times for the PGA Tour. It came after Australian and world No. 2 Cameron Smith (pictured left) defected after being offered $140 million to join the rebel movement, in which Norman is the CEO.

Cameron Smith, the Australian golf professional, has spoken out for the first time since defecting to the Saudi Arabian-backed rebel group, LIV Golf is the future of the game, and the PGA Tour must be'stirred up'.

Gary Player, a golf Saudi ambassador, hit Australian golfer Cameron Smith, who recently joined the LIV tour, in what could be described as a bit of friendly fire. Smith is expected to face off in his first event with the tour this weekend in a tournament outside of Boston. In an interview with the BBC, a nine-time major winner widely considered to be one of the best golfers of all time, the player challenged the tour's legitimacy and doubted Smith's decision making.

CHIEF SPORTS WRITER: Rory McIlroy bought tickets for the Floyd Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao fight in Las Vegas in 2015. One drawback: In the WGC Cadillac Match Play tournament, he had 18 holes to shoot against Paul Casey at TPC Harding Park. No problem. McIlroy, a 24-year-old high roller back then, was a high roller coaster. He had a private plane on standby to fly him from San Francisco to the Nevada desert and back in time for Sunday's final. It's a mystery. The Casey duel was postponed. Not only could McIlroy not make it to Vegas in time, but he was also in danger of missing the call if he returned to his hotel. So McIlroy seated himself in the media room, took out his wallet for pizza and beers for the assembled company, and watched the game from there. He's a huge boxing fan. However, he hasn't formed an opinion about the Saudi Arabian sport.

Smith revealed on Tuesday night that the sport's worst kept mystery had been confirmed, with Smith announcing a new signing for the Saud-backed tournament, the sport's biggest acquisition to date, following weeks of rumors. Despite widespread support from fans, Smith maintained that the switch was a 'business decision,' and that, although money was a factor, LIV Golf's scheduling was what really enticed him.

Smith's move to Saudi-backed circuit was announced yesterday, alongside those of fellow Australian Marc Leishman, Joaquin Niemann, Harold Varner, Cameron Tringale, and Anirban Lahiri. This week, the six players will make their LIV Golf Invitational Series debut in Boston. Since winning the 150th Open at St Andrews, Smith's move was on the table ever since he refused to answer questions about joining LIV.
