Kerr’s Women’s World Cup in doubt, but she still helps inspire Australia to win against Ireland

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 06:00:09 GMT

SYDNEY (AP) — How much of a role Sam Kerr can physically play for Australia at the Women’s World Cup remains completely uncertain.Even if her time on the sidelines with a calf muscle injury is extended, though, Australia’s iconic striker still has important role to play for the tournament co-hosts after helping to inspire the Matildas to a 1-0 opening win over Ireland on Thursday.“Obviously losing a player like Sam, probably the best player in the world, and just for her as a person, we were completely heartbroken,” said Steph Catley, who scored the 52nd-minute penalty that secured Australia’s win in front of a record crowd. “We had to gather ourselves pretty quickly, but we used her spirit and used the fact that she wasn’t able to be out there with us to help us push on. And I think that’s what it’s going to take for as long as maybe she misses.”Both host nations were in action on the opening day. The Australians were expected to have too much star power against I...

HOYLAKE, England (AP) — Crouching over the ball with his legs wide apart, Christo Lamprecht — all 6-foot-8 (2.03 meters) of him — crunched his last drive of the day into the fairway and more than 350 yards.“Look at the size of him,” was one of the muffled remarks from outside the ropes along the 18th fairway as the 22-year-old South African loped after his ball, his golf pants not long enough to cover his socks.Lamprecht’s first ever round at a British Open was one this amateur, and those watching him, won’t quickly forget.At one stage on Thursday at Royal Liverpool, Lamprecht — a college kid from Georgia Tech — was leading the Open by three strokes. He wound up shooting 5-under 66 and was set to be high on the leaderboard by the end of the first round.So, did that come as a surprise to a hard-to-miss player who was certainly turning heads at Hoylake?“I mean, as an amateur, yes, it is,” said Lamprecht, who was considered among the top college players in the U.S. for the last two yea...
