| Alonso wins British GP for Ferrari Posted: 10 Jul 2011 06:41 AM PDT  Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso (centre) celebrates winning the British F1 Grand Prix as third placed Red Bull driver Mark Webber (fight) and second placed Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel watch at Silverstone on July 10, 2011. — Reuters pic The win, 16.5 seconds ahead of Red Bull's world champion Sebastian Vettel, came on the 60th anniversary of the Italian team's first triumph in the Formula One world championship — also at Silverstone. Australian Mark Webber, who had started on pole position, was third for Red Bull ahead of McLaren's Lewis Hamilton who banged into Ferrari's Felipe Massa at the final corner to secure fourth. Vettel, who had led from the start until a faulty wheelnut slowed him at his second pitstop, extended his overall lead over Webber to 80 points from a previous 77. — Reuters Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price. |
| Donald poised as Scottish Open second round finally ends Posted: 10 Jul 2011 03:23 AM PDT INVERNESS, July 10 — Briton Luke Donald stayed on course to keep his world No. 1 status going into next week's British Open when the weather-disrupted Scottish Open second round finished early today. A five-under-par 67 by Donald took him to 10-under 134, just a stroke away from the joint leaders. Fellow Britons Graeme McDowell, Scott Jamieson and Peter Whiteford finished their rounds on Friday to take over at the top before storms hit the Castle Stuart course to play havoc with the second round. Swedish Ryder Cup player Peter Hanson returned to the course today to fire a 67 to make it a four-way lead. Donald could still be overtaken in the rankings by compatriot and world number two Lee Westwood after the third and final round completes today. Westwood's 71, after a similar return to the soaking Castle Stuart to finish his round, left him three strokes off the lead. Colin Montgomerie's bid to clinch a British Open spot from a top five finish is still alive after the 48-year-old former European number one shot a 69 that also left him only three shots off the pace. Veteran Briton Barry Lane is a surprise contender, lying just a stroke off the lead following a 67. Lane, a member of the 1993 European Ryder Cup team that lost narrowly to the US at the Belfry, is mixing senior golf with regular tour events. He is seeking his sixth European Tour title seven years after his last — the 2004 British Masters. — Reuters Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price. |
