Napoli fought back from 2-0 down, but Bologna snatched a stunning 3-2 victory at the Stadio Maradona with Jonathan Rowe’s acrobatic volley, putting Champions League football back in doubt.
The Partenopei knew a victory would guarantee a top four finish, but Kevin De Bruyne was ruled out after a nasty clash of heads in training left him needing four stitches to his cheekbone. Romelu Lukaku and David Neres also missed out, though Giovanni Di Lorenzo returned for his first appearance since knee ligament damage on January 31. Bologna had Joao Mario back, but missed Martin Vitik, Nicolò Cambiaghi and Nicolò Casale, with Jonathan Rowe only fit for the bench. They had beaten Napoli 2-0 in Serie A earlier this season, but lost by the same result in the Supercoppa Italiana Final on December 22.

Bologna had a strong start and took the lead when Federico Bernardeschi combined with Juan Miranda to smash a ferocious left-foot strike into the far top corner.
It was nearly 2-0 moments later, as when Riccardo Orsolini was blocked off, it came to Miranda to fire onto the top of the upright.
Napoli tried to respond, twice testing Massimo Pessina with Giovane and Alisson Santos, then Scott McTominay’s glancing header flashed inches wide from an Alisson Santos corner.
Bologna had penalty appeals when Miranda got to the ball before Di Lorenzo and was caught on the boot, so it was given following the VAR review. Orsolini had never scored a goal against Napoli before in his career, but managed to squirm the spot-kick in despite Vanja Milinkovic-Savic getting a glove to it.

Joao Mario was booked for crashing into McTominay on the edge of the area, the referee opting for a yellow card and not sufficient for a straight red.
Di Lorenzo made up for his earlier error and marked his return after three months with a goal. Rasmus Hojlund held up Matteo Politano’s pass, it ricocheted off Remo Freuler into the captain’s path, who fired in off the underside of the bar from a tricky angle.

After the restart, Di Lorenzo’s glancing header on a Politano corner skimmed the crossbar, but Napoli completed the comeback moments later.
Hojlund laid it off down the left for Alisson Santos to sweep the angled drive into the far bottom corner with the inside of the right boot.

Politano forced a one-handed save from Pessina, as did Miguel Gutierrez with a cross-shot at the near post, while Amir Rrahmani blasted wide.
Just as it seemed to be heading for a 2-2 draw, Bologna restored their lead with a moment of pure magic. Milinkovic-Savic got his gloves to the powerful Miranda cross-shot, but it looped up nicely for the acrobatic Rowe scissor-kick volley from 12 yards.

RIO DE JANEIRO, May 11 (Reuters) - Jarbas Meneghini has made more than 3,000 plaster replicas of the soccer World Cup trophy from his workshop in Rio de Janeiro, to help fans root for Brazil to bring home the golden original from North America in July.
The 58-year-old craftsman had the idea for his business after he saw then-Brazil captain Dunga lift the trophy at the World Cup final in 1994.
"I saw Dunga holding the trophy and said I would buy one, but you can't find it anywhere," Meneghini said. "So I decided to make it myself using the technical skills I learned doing metalwork."
He now produces plaster replicas by hand, exporting them to 17 countries across the Americas and Europe. The replicas are produced from molds, with some painted in gold and others given a polished chrome finish.
Working near Rio's famed Maracana soccer stadium, he also sells the trophies to tourists and local fans.
"I make thousands of trophies from the same mold. Some are painted, and others I make more special, with chrome - they stand out more, you can see yourself reflected in them as you kiss them," he said.
Production rises with every World Cup cycle, driven by renewed hope among supporters.
While Brazil has won more World Cup titles than any other nation, it hasn't lifted the trophy since 2002. But a new opportunity is near.
Meneghini has already made 600 trophies ahead of this year's tournament, which is hosted by Mexico, Canada and the U.S. and kicks off on June 11. That represents a boost from the 100 to 200 replicas he used to make ahead of the World Cup.
"Brazil have gone a long time without winning it," he said. "Hope is in our hearts again."

Milan’s Champions League qualification is in huge doubt after a 3-2 home defeat to Atalanta, as the slip to joint fourth place with Roma, leapfrogged by Juventus.
The Rossoneri were in crisis after seven points in as many matches saw Champions League football thrown into doubt. Christian Pulisic suffered a muscular injury this morning and was ruled out, along with Luka Modric and suspended Fikayo Tomori, so Santiago Gimenez got his first start since October 28. They wore special jerseys for Mother’s Day with the names of their Mums on the back. La Dea missed Lorenzo Bernasconi after two points from four rounds, plus Coppa Italia elimination to Lazio in the semi-final.

It was almost a perfect start for Adrien Rabiot, whose screamer smacked against the outside of the upright in the fourth minute.
Instead, while Atalanta were complaining about a shirt-tug on Nikola Krstovic, the move continued and Ederson drilled low into the far bottom corner from just inside the box.

Krstovic turned and hammered a long-range effort to sting Mike Maignan’s gloves, then as the move continued Giacomo Raspadori just failed to get on the end of Davide Zappacosta’s pass.
Maignan was also tested by Nicola Zalewski at the near post, and before the Rossoneri had managed a single touch in the opposition penalty area, they found themselves 2-0 down.
Krstovic with his back to goal knocked down the De Ketelaere pass for Zappacosta, who shrugged off Matteo Gabbia to drill into the far bottom corner.

Marco Carnesecchi got down for a one-handed save on Gimenez, but the offside flag had gone up for the Mexico international anyway.
Rafael Leao’s frustration was showing, as he was booked for a lunge on Giorgio Scalvini and will be suspended against Genoa, then moments later wasted a golden opportunity by firing straight at Carnesecchi from seven yards.
Alexis Saelemaekers saw one strike smothered by Carnesecchi, then dribbled into the box only to be tackled cleanly by Isak Hien.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek fell awkwardly on his shoulder, so was replaced at half-time by Christopher Nkunku as Max Allegri tried to get back into the game. Scalvini also limped off with an ankle sprain for Atalanta.
La Dea added a third when Samuele Ricci’s pass to Leao was intercepted in midfield, Ederson sending Raspadori down the left to thread his finish through the eye of a needle at the near top corner.
Some fans had seen enough and walked out straight after that goal, leaving the Curva Sud empty with another 35 minutes left to play. There were still enough left to loudly jeer a triple substitution, Leao hauled off after booting a vague attempt into Row Z.
Odilon Kossounou was only on the field for a few minutes when having to come off with a muscular injury, and Nkunku saw Milan’s best chance denied by a desperate Carnesecchi save.
There could’ve been a fourth, Krstovic firing over from close range on a roll across from the right, while the hosts were unlucky to see Nkunku’s effort thump the crossbar when Niclas Fullkrug held off Honest Ahanor to set him up.
Fullkrug also laid it off for Youssouf Fofana’s deflected effort, forcing a Carnesecchi fingertip save, and Rabiot drilled wide, but Davide Bartesaghi also hobbled off with a muscular issue.
When Fullkrug did get the ball in the net on 81 minutes, he was clearly in an offside position and it did not count.
Milan finally did get their first home goal in over 300 minutes of football, as Samuele Ricci’s free kick to the back post was nodded in by Strahinja Pavlovic.

The situation went from bad to worse, as Pervis Estupinan and Alexis Saelemaekers were also booked and will be suspended against Genoa, along with Leao.

Deep into stoppages, Nkunku ran into the box and went down over Marten de Roon’s challenge for a penalty, which Nkunku converted by firing into the near top corner.
They threw everything forward in added time, Matteo Gabbia’s glancing header inches wide from the Nkunku free kick to the back post. There were also penalty appeals for the ball striking Hien on the arm, but it was considered to be in a natural position.

Roma scraped an extraordinary 3-2 thriller at the 101st minute with a Donyell Malen penalty after Parma had turned it around to lead 2-1 at the 87th.
The Giallorossi were right back in the push for Champions League football after thrashing Fiorentina 4-0, but the pressure was on after Juventus won 1-0 away to Lecce last night. Paulo Dybala started with Donyell Malen and Matias Soulé for only the second time after January 25, with Lorenzo Pellegrini, Bryan Zaragoza, Artem Dovbyk and Evan Ferguson injured, but Neil El Aynaoui returned from suspension. The Ducali were already safe, but missed Adrian Bernabé, Gaetano Oristanio and Matija Frigan.

(Photo by Alessandro Sabattini/Getty Images)
Malen had the ball in the net after nine minutes when controlling a long ball over the top and flicking it around Zion Suzuki to deposit into an empty net, but he was flagged offside.
Nesta Elphege’s acrobatic volley was charged down, but Gianluca Mancini had penalty appeals when he went to control a Dybala pass and got there before Lautaro Valenti, who kicked him in the back of the ankle, but VAR decided not to recommend an On-Field Review.
Roma did score moments later, as Manu Kone intercepted in midfield, Dybala’s one-touch pass laid it off perfectly for Malen to beat the on-rushing Suzuki.

Mario Hermoso flashed a dangerous ball across the face of goal just beyond Malen, then Soulé should’ve made it 2-0 when his free header thumped the far post on a Dybala cross.
Mile Svilar was almost caught out by a poor Evan Ndicka back-pass, forced to make a desperate tackle on Gabriel Strefezza, while there was nobody ready to meet the Emanuele Valeri roll across and Hans Nicolussi Caviglia blasted off target.
Parma equalised within moments of the restart, as Nicolussi Caviglia intercepted a wayward Hermoso pass and set up Strefezza, who drilled a precise snooker-shot into the far bottom corner from just inside the area.

Malen almost replied immediately, but Suzuki made the save at the near post, then Parma had the ball in the net again on 55 minutes. Mateo Pellegrino’s header from a corner had looped in, but the offside flag was up for Mariano Troilo, who was considered to be interfering with play near Svilar.
Christian Ordonez also volleyed just wide of an open goal after Svilar’s panicked punch, while El Aynaoui nodded a Wesley cross off target.
Dybala sparked a counter-attack, forcing Suzuki into a huge save on Malen, though Pisilli blasted the rebound over the bar.
Pisilli did get the shot on target from eight yards from a Malen pull-back, but was denied by an extraordinary Alessandro Circati defensive block.
Instead, Parma turned the game around completely when Mandela Keita combined with Ordonez, controlling the ball over the top with his chest and drilling through a sea of legs from 12 yards. It was a very rare goal for the midfielder, one celebrated wildly by his proud mother in the stands.

Troilo made a crucial block after Suzuki fumbled a cross, preventing the Gianluca Mancini tap-in. Roma managed to draw level for 2-2 deep into stoppages, as a corner got trapped in a crowd of players, hitting Mancini’s arm as he was flat on the turf, eventually laid off for Devyne Rensch to fire in hard and low from just inside the area. Parma protested, but VAR checked and gave the all-clear.
Roma then had penalty appeals when the referee gave a free kick against Rensch for a wrestling match with Sascha Britschgi, but he changed his mind when seeing the VAR On-Field Review, awarding a spot-kick and second yellow card for Britschgi.
Dybala handed the ball to Malen, who converted into the near top corner after a short run-up to give all three precious points for the Giallorossi.
Fiorentina and Genoa both got the point they needed to put themselves beyond reach of the relegation zone with two rounds to spare.
The Grifone were practically safe already, but the Viola still needed one more result to be sure and were coming off a heavy 4-0 defeat to Roma. Moise Kean and Tariq Lamptey were still out, though Roberto Piccoli returned to the bench, so teenager Riccardo Braschi got his first start. Genoa missed Junior Messias, Tommaso Baldanzi, Brooke Norton-Cuffy, Maxwel Cornet and Sebastian Otoa.
For Mother’s Day, both teams wore jerseys featuring their maternal names on the back.

Vitinha fired straight at David De Gea following a Dodo error, while Fabiano Parisi had penalty appeals rejected when he seemed to be clumsily caught by Amorim.
Leo Ostigard had a couple of headers from set plays before getting one on target, forcing a tricky save from De Gea on a free kick.
Fiorentina also came close from a corner, Luca Ranieri’s looping header just wide of the far post, while at the other end Caleb Ekuban’s strike was deflected over by Ranieri’s arm from point-blank range.

On the resulting corner, De Gea was visibly struggling with a muscular issue and the free kick was given for a foul against him as Vitinha’s header was cleared off the line.
Genoa had another huge chance when a free kick was flicked on to the back post, where Caleb Ekuban’s volley tested De Gea, and Robin Gosens threw himself in the path of Ostigard’s follow-up from a couple of yards.
Ekuban also failed to make the most of Marco Brescianini’s error playing out from the back, but Fiorentina had a chaotic opportunity too. Piccoli and Gosens tried desperately to turn in after a Brescianini knock-down, but in the mad scramble, Fabiano Parisi’s effort was accidentally deflected wide off teammate Gosens.

Dodo earned jeers in stoppages when sent forward on the counter only to roll a weak and predictable pass across from the right.
Both teams are now safe, but the mood was less one of celebration at the final whistle, more frustration and a sigh of relief with very loud jeers.
Jamie Vardy’s first goal since January paved the way for a potentially crucial Cremonese victory that keeps safety hopes alive, but Pisa went down to nine men.
The hosts were given a lifeline with Lecce’s defeat to Juventus last night, so a victory here would put them within a point of their major rivals for safety. The season was over for Federico Baschirotto with a thigh strain in the heart-breaking 2-1 loss to Lazio, joining Faris Moumbagna on the treatment table, but Jamie Vardy was back in the starting XI for the first time since March 8. Already-relegated Pisa missed Matteo Tramoni, Marius Marin and Daniel Denoon.
Rosen Bozhinov had a nightmare start to the match, because he received two yellow cards in the opening 24 minutes, leaving Pisa down to 10 men for over an hour.

Cremonese could not waste this gift, so began to pour forward, Alberto Grassi’s scorcher parried by Adrian Semper with difficulty.
They broke through when Giuseppe Pezzella controlled a long ball and laid it off to the edge of the area, where Vardy was ready to sweep into the far bottom corner first-time with his weaker left foot. It was his first goal since early January.

There should’ve been another on the counter, but Federico Bonazzoli over-hit the pass for Jari Vandeputte, so Arturo Calabresi was introduced to shore up Pisa’s defence.
Youssef Maleh drilled across the face of goal, while Alberto Grassi’s volley from a corner bounced to flash inches wide from the edge of the box.
Cremonese had two more huge opportunities on the stroke of half-time, as Semper got away with a couple of howlers. He slipped during a clearance, so Simone Canestrelli made a goal-line clearance on Bonazzoli’s lob, then flapped hopelessly at the following corner, only for Matteo Bianchetti to nod over.
They did make a counter-attack stick after the restart, as Vardy sent Vandeputte running, he rolled across for Bonazzoli to take a touch and sweep in from 10 yards.

Pisa were reduced to nine men as Loyola lunged two-footed into a clumsy tackle on Pezzella, prompting a straight red card.
Alessio Zerbin’s cross-shot tested Semper and Vardy was given a standing ovation from the home fans, while Federico Barbieri forced a save with his long-range strike.
David Okereke added a third late on when he dribbled past the weak Hojholt and surprised Semper from the tightest of angles with the inside of the right boot.

Como have mathematically guaranteed a spot in Europe for 2026-27 after their 1-0 victory away against Hellas Verona in Serie A on Sunday afternoon thanks to a loan goal from centre-forward Tasos Douvikas.
Both coaches made one change each to their starting XIs ahead of Sunday’s early kick-off: Paolo Sammarco decided to reintroduce Nicolas Valentini after suspension in place of Domagoj Bradaric, while Cesc Fabregas brought Jesus Rodriguez in to replace Martin Baturina on Como’s left wing.

It was the hosts who threatened first early doors. Kieron Bowie did excellently to hold the ball up and play a low ball into the six yard box off the left flank, but Jean Butez pulled out a top-class reaction save to deny Tomas Suslov’s shot from the edge of the six-yard box.
Verona managed to hit the crossbar in the second phase of the resulting corner, but it wouldn’t have counted anyway as the offside flag was raised shortly afterwards.
Verona sent another warning shot when Rafik Belghali made it to the right byline 20 minutes in, but Bowie wasn’t quite able to get his shot away properly after receiving the cut-back. Martin Frese should have done better when running in on Butez’s goal unopposed less than a minute later.
Como got their first attempt on target midway through the first half: Rodriguez trying his luck from distance, but it was straight at Lorenzo Montipo in the Verona net.
Fabregas’s side would eventually break the deadlock midway through the second half. Marc-Oliver Kempf pumped a hopeful long ball down the left, Andrias Edmundsson made a mess of his attempted headed clearance and Douvikas was on hand to punish him with an excellently taken touch and finish that he slammed into the bottom corner of the net.

Verona thought they had equalised through Bowie in the following attack. The Scot had the ball in the back of the net in a congested penalty area, but Nicolas Valentini, who got the penultimate touch, was in an offside position. Despite being fairly clear on the replays, it still required a VAR check that lasted several minutes to confirm the on-pitch decision.
Today’s result lifts Como into fifth place, where they sit two points behind Milan and one point above Roma ahead of their matches later on Sunday. Como can no longer finish any lower than sixth place in Serie A in 2025-26, which means that they are guaranteed a spot in the Conference League at a minimum.
Verona 0-1 Como

Dusan Vlahovic’s goal within 12 seconds proved enough for Juventus to take three precious points away from Lecce, although they had two more goals disallowed.
This was a huge fixture for both teams, as the hosts needed to stay clear of the drop zone after opening up a four-point gap from Cremonese, while the Bianconeri needed to fight for fourth following a surprising 1-1 draw with Verona.

Dusan Vlahovic got his first start since November 2025, with Kenan Yildiz also shaking off a knock, Juan Cabal and Arek Milik out of action. Lecce were unbeaten in three, despite missing Riccardo Sottil, Medon Berisha, Kialonda Gaspar and Sadik Fofana. For Mother’s Day, the hosts wore special shirts with the names of their mothers on the back.

It was a truly remarkable start, because within 12 seconds Vlahovic had controlled the Andrea Cambiaso cross from the left, turned between three defenders and fired into the roof of the net from seven yards.

Lecce responded immediately too, Walid Cheddira’s first-time strike from a Lameck Banda roll across forcing a desperate Michele Di Gregorio reaction save, then at the other end Francisco Conceicao smashed a finish onto the inside of the far post from a tricky angle.
Vlahovic also saw his angled drive denied by Wladimiro Falcone’s legs at the near post, all in the opening six minutes.
It should’ve been 2-0 later in the half when Vlahovic burst into the box and didn’t pass when he had the chance, instead sweeping the finish off target.

Juve did have the ball in the net straight after the restart when Falcone parried a Cambiaso effort and the first Vlahovic rebound, beaten eventually at the third time of asking, but VAR confirmed an offside position.
Cheddira got the finish all wrong after Santiago Pierotti shrugged off Lloyd Kelly to pull back from the by-line.

Another Juventus goal was disallowed due to a Vlahovic offside, this time he was interfering with play during the Jamal Siebert clearance, before Pierre Kalulu flicked in the Cambiaso low cross from six yards on the hour mark.
Danilo Veiga went off injured and Kenan Yildiz drilled wide, while Vlahovic’s first-time effort was charged down, another of the Serbian’s attempts fired over from a McKennie lay-off.
Konan N’Dri came on and robbed Kelly playing out from defence, his finish skimming the near upright, then Di Gregorio struggled to parry a swerving Pierotti screamer from distance.
Falcone made a double save in stoppages, first on Jeremie Boga’s attempted lob, then the Edon Zhegrova follow-up.
Champions of Italy Inter continue celebrating with a 3-0 victory away to Lazio, as Lautaro Martinez, Petar Sucic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored, with Alessio Romagnoli sent off.
By a strange quirk of the fixture list, these teams will meet here again on Wednesday May 13 in the Coppa Italia Final. The Nerazzurri were fresh off their Scudetto triumph and could rotate the squad with Hakan Calhanoglu and Francesco Pio Esposito injured, but Lautaro Martinez returned from the start to get match fitness after a muscular issue. The hosts welcomed Matteo Cancellieri back from suspension, missing Mattia Zaccagni, Danilo Cataldi, Ivan Provedel and Samuel Gigot, but Nicolò Rovella had his first start since fracturing his clavicle on February 21.

It took just six minutes to break the deadlock, as after the Andy Diouf effort was charged down, Marcus Thuram flicked on a long throw-in for Lautaro Martinez to volley in with the right foot from seven yards.
Penalty appeals were rejected after a chaotic pinball off Lautaro Martinez, Thuram and Mario Gila’s arm, then Nicolò Barella’s free kick sailed over the crossbar.
Petar Sucic bent a lovely left-foot first-time finish from the D into the top corner after Lautaro Martinez combined repeatedly with Diouf, the captain laying it off for his teammate.

Edoardo Motta was alert off his line to deny Yann Bisseck after Lazio gave it away cheaply, while Pedro’s volley was smothered by Josep Martinez.
Alessio Romagnoli was booked for a very high studs-up tackle on Ange-Yoann Bonny, changed to a straight red card following the VAR review, as the connection was on the inside of the leg. It means the Lazio defender will be suspended for the Derby della Capitale, but the Coppa Italia is a different tournament.

Despite that, the hosts nearly scored moments later when Gustav Isaksen sprung the offside trap on a Luca Pellegrini cross and beat the on-rushing Martinez, denied by a desperate Carlos Augusto clearance. On the resulting corner, Isaksen fired wide from a very promising position.
Lazio did better when down to 10 men, as Isaksen forced a tricky save out of Josep Martinez, and Francesco Acerbi prevented a Boulaye Dia tap-in on the resulting corner.
Tijjani Noslin combined with Dia to break into the box, his finish deflected off Luis Henrique, but it was Inter who found the net for a third time instead.
Bonny held his ground and laid it off for Mkhitaryan, who sent Adam Marusic to ground with a dummy and smashed into the roof of the net.
Teenage youth academy product Mattia Mosconi was given his senior debut off the Nerazzurri bench and almost scored, firing just over the bar after surging into the box down the left.
Cagliari still aren’t mathematically safe, as goals from Adam Buksa and Idrissa Gueye allowed Udinese to secure a 2-0 win in Sardinia on Saturday.
Udinese beat Cagliari 2-0 at the Unipol Domus on Saturday, moving five points below seventh-placed Atalanta, who visit Milan tomorrow.
Cagliari 0-2 Udinese – match report
Cagliari had the best chances in the first half when Maduka Okoye produced two brilliant saves with his feet: first from a Marco Palestra counter-attack and then on a Gianluca Gaetano attempt from point-blank range.
The home side received a penalty kick for a Jesper Karlström handball inside the box, but the penalty was revoked after a VAR check, as the Udinese midfielder touched the ball in a “natural position” while trying to do all he could to avoid contact.
Udinese bounced back in the second half, and Nicolò Zaniolo immediately hit the outside of the woodwork with a shot from the edge of the box.
The Bianconeri took the lead shortly afterwards with Buksa’s fourth goal this season: Hassane Kamara burst down the left wing and delivered an accurate pass to the Polish striker, who found himself one-on-one with Elia Caprile and calmly slotted the ball into an open net.

Cagliari defender Alberto Dossena came close to levelling the score from a corner kick routine, but Karlström made a superb headed clearance off the goal line.
Nicolò Bertola was just as good a few minutes later when he blocked a Paul Mendy shot from outside the box.
Cagliari continued pushing for the leveller, but inevitably left space for Udinese’s counter-attacks.
Keinan Davis wasted a big chance alone in front of Caprile, but the ex-Aston Villa star, who had returned from an injury, coming off the bench as a substitute, later provided the assist for Idrissa Gueye, who killed off the game by finalising a perfect counterattack in the stoppages.
Tensions increased in the final minutes, with some players from both teams briefly clashing on the pitch after the final whistle. Udinese’s Davis looked particularly upset and had to be restrained by some of his teammates.
Cagliari remain 15th in the standings, but eight points below 18th-placed Cremonese, so they’ll be mathematically safe if the Grigiorossi don’t beat Pisa on Sunday.
This week, Justin Thomas made a switch to an essential copy of the putter after Young won the Players Championship and the Cadillac Championship over the past month and a half.
Justin Thomas has a new Phantom 9.5R putter that is basically a copy of Cam Young's putter.
“You want Cam’s putter? We were going to get Cam’s putter," Scotty Cameron rep Brad Cloke told me.

It’s Thomas’ second switch in a month after he benched his Phantom 5.5 gamer midway through the RBC Heritage last month and played well on the weekend using a backup Newport 2 GSS blade.
He continued using that putter last week, but at Quail Hollow, he wanted to find something that would stick long term. He had worked himself nearly back to 0 strokes gained: putting after a disastrous start to his season at Bay Hill, before a rough opening two rounds at Harbour Town. He lost strokes with the blade last week in Miami.
“Some of it is just calibration. … some of it is just, he, you know, the potential of making good putts but not seeing anything go in type of thing,” Scotty Cameron Tour Rep Brad Cloke told GOLF. “It just seemed like he kind of wanted to start a little bit from scratch this week.”
So he asked for a couple of new putters, including some 9.2Rs, a shape he used previously, and a copy of Cam Young’s 9.5R.
“I literally texted Cameron’s guys and said, ‘Just give me Cam’s putter,'” Thomas said Friday, who played with Young the first two days.
“Obviously, with the success that Cam is having … these guys are as they see success and they want to see what it’s all about potentially,” Cloke said.
In addition to having a low-bend shaft that mimics the look and toe hang of a jet neck, Thomas’s 5.5 also has smooth face milling that makes it a bit louder-sounding and firmer.
His new putter matches Young’s so it has mid-milled face, but he’s actually preferred the milling on the new 9.5R.
“It was more so of like, ‘Hey, this is different, but I’m kind of liking it,'” Cloke said. “The comment that I heard from him was about feel, but it was more so like, ‘I’m actually surprised I like the way this feels.’”
While the putter is Thomas’ spec length and has his grip, it has the same graphite shaft Young uses and a full-length sight line. Thomas found that made it super easy to line up.
“It’s just so hard to putt well if you don’t have confidence, and so hard to have confidence unless you’re seeing it go in more often,” Thomas said. “So I really, really worked hard Monday through Wednesday on my speed and start line and everything to where I just felt like I was in a better place and more freed up when I was putting.”
Through two rounds, it’s been highly successful as Thomas sits at seven under going into the weekend and is gaining nearly three strokes on the field, good for top 10 in the stat.
While the biggest story in Ping putters was Tony Finau’s bizarre technique with a prototype Oslo Onset long putter early in the week, he ended up going back to the Scottsdale Tec Ally Blue Onset he switched to in February.
In fact, Ping’s Ally Blue headshape had a solid week, earning two high-profile conversions, one so surprising Ping Tour Rep Kenton Oates didn’t even take it seriously.
Sahith Theegala, who, as we profiled in Bag Spy this week, loves to practice with random putters every week on the PGA Tour before returning to his longtime Anser gamer, was losing a putting contest on the practice green using an Ally Blue H when Oates hollered over for him to try his gamer.
“He goes, ‘This is what I used Sunday of Cadillac,'” Oates said. “And I go, ‘What? He goes, ‘Yeah, I think I’m going to use it on Thursday.'”
Well of course he switches to a mallet this week.
Looks like it might be a counterbalanced Ally Blue 4.
Theegala followed through on Thursday in the first round of the Truist Championship and kept it in the bag for Friday as well.
Turns out, this wasn’t another random practice putter for Theegala; this is something he worked on with Ping Principal Design Engineer Tony Serrano. He’s actually had the putter for over a year.
Theegala started working on a mallet putter with Serrano, feeling like he could gain forgiveness over his Anser blade.
“The key thing for him is, he has a certain stroke, a certain rotation in his stroke that requires something with some toe down,” Serrano said. “He’s always played an Anser 2 that hang at that 40 or 42 degrees that work perfectly for his stroke.”
The Ally Blue H has the same plumber’s neck hosel Theegala is used to and similar CG and toe hang properties, making it a more natural transition.
At the RSM Classic last November, Serrano and Theegala spent lots of time with a Scottsdale Tec Ally Blue H, but it was the PLD Milled version that ended up going in the bag. Theegala ended up putting a counterbalance grip on it as well, but Serrano didn’t know when or why he added that himself.
A new Ally Blue H is also in the bag of Kristoffer Reitan as the PGA Tour rookie finds himself three off the lead heading into the weekend.
Reitan’s PLD Milled Ally Blue H is virtually identical to the Scottsdale Tec version, complete with the aluminum head, steel sole plate and PEBAX insert. But it was made from scratch to have an uninterrupted sight line.

After visiting Ping’s PLD Putting Lab in February, the Ping team discovered that Reitan needed a putter with more toe hang than the face-balanced model he was using. He loved the Scottsdale TEC feel and visual with the white head, but just wanted a full sight line.
Serrano said it was simply easier to make him a new PLD head than repurpose an existing Scottsdale TEC.
Rory McIlroy returns to Qi4D 3-wood
In his first event back since winning his second green jacket, Rory McIlroy changed the one club he switched out for his his big Masters win.
After using a Qi4D fairway wood since November, McIlroy went back to his Qi10 3-wood for the Masters, and promptly won his fifth straight major for the club.
But that turns out to be a short-term reversion for McIlroy as he’s back in a Qi4D 3-wood at Quail Hollow, where he’s won four times.
Rory McIlroy is back in a Qi4D 3-wood this week after a one-tournament revert back to the Qi10 when he won the Masters.
"I had been using the 4D 3-wood at the start of the season," he said on Wednesday. "I noticed that it just had a little bit of a left by as in it. So I went… pic.twitter.com/F2kRlsFrsW
McIlroy said on Wednesday the switch was made because his Qi4D had a bit of a left miss.
“I had been using the 4D 3-wood at the start of the season. I noticed that it just had a little bit of a left bias in it,” McIlroy said. “So I went back to an old Qi10 for a while. But that wasn’t, it really wasn’t spinning enough. It’s more like a mini driver than a 3-wood.”
McIlroy actually said that kind of club could be useful at the Memorial, seemingly teasing he’ll use it at Muirfield Village next month, but for this week at Quail Hollow and next week at the PGA Championship, he wanted something with a bit more spin.
He started working on a new 3-wood with the TaylorMade team.
TaylorMade Qi4D Custom Fairway Wood
PROVEN RECIPE TaylorMade Fairways have dominated on Tour for over a decade because of their unique performance recipe, which enables maximum distance and versatility. The Qi4D fairway is designed for golfers who want the most advanced technology while still prioritizing versatility and control with amazing distance. ADJUSTABLE PERFORMANCE Utilizing a single Trajectory Adjustment System weight (8g x1) provides the golfer a more mass efficient way to adjust flight, spin and swing weight. 4° loft sleeve can be used to adjust loft, lie and face angle for optimized flight and is available in all lofts. REFINED ATTRIBUTES, BIG CHANGES Engineers conducted an objective analysis of all the performance attributes and discovered new methods to enhance performance and confidence. Sit points, lie angles, address views, and center of gravity locations were all updated based on Tour feedback and the expertise of leading fitters worldwide, ensuring the optimal fairway across skill levels. TOUR-PROVEN TECHNOLOGIES New and improved cut-through Speed Pocket™ protects ball speed and reduces spin on low-face strikes. Advanced CAD modeling creates a design with a clean and powerful sound, a foundation for TaylorMade fairway performance. Twist Face™ features corrective face curvature designed to provide straighter shots on mishits. Multi-Material Construction allows engineers to maximize performance by increasing discretionary weight.
“Post-Augusta we went back and looked at the data and he was actually getting center strikes that were drawing too much,” TaylorMade Tour rep Keith Sbarbaro said. “So the club was acting like he was toeing it. It was kind of gear-affecting left.
“So what we did is we moved the CG a little more toward the toe to try and square that up. The other thing he was getting some under-spinning shots that were knuckling a little bit.”
With the new 3-wood, Sbarbaro said McIlroy hit eight shots that all spun between 3,100 and 3,300 RPM and flew right on target. That’ll do!

Sassuolo claimed a second-half lead away against Torino in Serie A on Friday evening, but the hosts struck back with two goals within the space of four minutes to extend the team’s unbeaten home run to five matches: Kristjan Thorstvedt, Giovanni Simeone and Marcus Holmgren Pedersen with the goals.
Torino were coming in off the back of a 2-0 defeat against Udinese and decided to make two changes to their starting line-up on Friday evening. Despite beating Milan 2-0 last weekend, Fabio Grosso changed half of his outfielders, with the likes of Andrea Pinamonti, Cristian Volpato and Luca Lipani returning to the starting XI.

Pinamonti registered the first shot on target less than two minutes in after being slipped into the area by Cristian Volpato. Pinamonti tried to find the far corner of the net, but Alberto Paleari was well positioned to make the save.
Gvidas Gineitis had to improvise for Torino’s first attempt on target 10 minutes in, but Arijanet Muric was able to get down to his left to prevent what turned out to be a relatively tame effort.
Alieu Njie came within inches of opening the scoring when his header bounced off the crossbar twice from Gineitis’s corner. Part of the ball had crossed the goalline, but importantly, not all of it.
Down at the other end, Lipani was allowed to dribble his way as far as the corner of the six-yard box, but he then found himself at a difficult angle, and Paleari had come out to narrow the angle.

The deadlock was finally broken five minutes after the re-start. Nemanja Matic’s shot from the edge of the area was blocked, but fell kindly into the path of Lipani, who managed to squeeze in a cross from the right byline and Thorstvedt was on hand to finish it off in the middle of the six-yard box.
It took a quarter of an hour for Torino to come up with a response. Ebosse whipped in a perfect deep cross from the left flank and Simeone pulled out a trademark centre-forward’s header, drilled into the floor and bouncing into the corner past Muric.

Simeone has now scored in each of his last five home matches in Serie A.
It turned out to be a quickfire turnaround for the Granata. Duvan Zapata clipped in a cross from the left-hand side of the penalty area, and Pedersen raced to meet it at the far post. This was the Norwegian’s first goal in Serie A, coming in his 84th appearance.

Tonight’s result means that Torino jump up one position in the Serie A table into 12th, while Sassuolo keep hold of 10th place.
Torino 2-1 Sassuolo
Thorstvedt (S) 51′, Simeone (T) 66′, Pedersen (T) 70′.
