    Park Hyun-kyung won the KLPGA Championship title on Sunday as women's golf in South Korea. Park signed off with a second successive round of 67 to erase a three-shot deficit and triumph by one stroke in the tour's first event since December. Overnight leader Lim Hee-jeong (71) and Bae Seon-woo (68) shared second place at 16-under 272 in the event played without spectators at the Lakewood Country Club in Yangju. An emotional Park hugged her father, who was caddying for her, after the winning putt and was showered with petals from her peers who also did elbow bumps in what is likely to be a new normal in sports.

    John Allen leads Trekking to victory in The Goodwood in Australia

Ridden by jockey John Allen for Godolphin’s Australian handler James Cummings, the Darley-bred son of Lonhro showed battling qualities to deny the locally trained Gytrash and win by half-a-length.

    Dortmund v Schalke
    The big news was in Germany, where the Bundesliga got back under way. There were no fans, there was no hugging, there were no mascots, there were no handshakes — but there was football. Actual, real-life top-flight football. The Bundesliga got back in action on Saturday as five games kicked off the resumption of the battle to the Bundesliga title in Germany. The main attraction was the Ruhr Derby between Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 — a traditional German clash which Dortmund won 4-0. Image Credit: Reuters
