· Sports AUTBELGBR

Sepp Straka slumped to a tie for 64th at the British Open on Sunday, closing with a 72 at Royal Birkdale to finish at four over par after dropping nearly 40 places with a third-round 74 and six bogeys in the final round. The Austrian had sat tied for 25th midway through the tournament following a level-par 70.

Bernd Wiesberger missed the cut by a single stroke, ending his week early in Southport.

Belgium's Thomas Detry advanced comfortably, sitting eighth after a second-round 69 left him at four under par through 36 holes. The tournament continued under the pace set by Lucas Herbert and Sam Burns, who shared the lead after matching record-tying 62s in the second round.
