Mark Selby fended off a late charge from Ronnie OSullivan to land his second UK Championship title and shred any remaining doubts about his credibility as snookers world No. 1.In a match that peaked with a jaw-dropping stretch of play in the evening session that included three consecutive total clearances, Selby emerged a 10-7 winner.Selby said: To play Ronnie in any game means its always a great atmosphere and gives you a buzz and makes you want to play well. I had to be on top of my game today. Its a fantastic feeling.As he lifted the trophy at the York Barbican, the 33-year-old from Leicester became the sixth player in the sports history to secure the World Championship and UK titles in the same calendar year.He joins illustrious company in OSullivan, Stephen Hendry, Steve Davis, John Parrott and John Higgins, and as champion collects ￡170,000.Come the end of the match there was no doubting Selbys relief, having seen a 7-2 lead slashed to 8-7 by a spell of vintage OSullivan break-building.OSullivan said: Its a fantastic night for him. I scored all right, but I missed too many easy balls. I think I did alright considering hes world No. 1 and so far ahead of everyone else.The five-time UK champion ploughed in breaks of 56, 80, 134, 130 and 82 to ask the question of Selby -- but the challenge drew a rousing response.OSullivans two centuries in that streak had come either side of a 137 from Selby, with all three being total clearances.The next ton came from Selby though, speaking volumes of his temperament as he made 134 to power one frame away from the winning line.And after a cagey start to the next, Selby slotted a long red to set up a match-clinching 107, pointing to wife Vikki in the crowd as he potted the ball that made sure of another major piece of silverware.OSullivan was hailed as the best player in the world by far earlier in the week by former UK champion Matthew Stevens, but Selby now has ample evidence to pick apart that argument.

CHASKA, Minn. -- Team USA got off to a strong start Friday at the 41st Ryder Cup at Hazeltine, sweeping Team Europe in the morning foursomes 4-0.But before the session even began, the fans helped set the tone at the first tee, as more than 51,000 fans were crammed onto the course for the first day of matches.With a Ryder Cup golf bag of the late Arnold Palmer standing alone on the ground below (it was from when he captained the U.S. team in 1975), supporters from both sides saluted their hero: AR-NOLD PAL-MER! AR-NOLD PAL-MER! It was enough to give your goose bumps the chills:The American fans, borrowing a chant from their soccer brethren, later chanted: I believe that we will win!To which one of the blue and gold-clad European fans invariably responded: I believe that we will win.And its only Day 1, people. Here are a few other tidbits you might have missed from Friday morning:The sure thing and the surpriseTwo years ago, Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed went undefeated as partners, leaving Gleneagles with a 2-0-1 record together. It made sense that U.S. captain Davis Love III not only would pair them again here but also would send the fire-and-ice duo out in the first match against the formidable team of Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson. It was a match the Americans would never trail, as Spieth rolled in birdie putts on the second and third holes. They stayed at least 2-up for the entirety of this one, winning 3 and 2 and keeping that undefeated record intact. Theyll team up again in afternoon four-balls. If they keep winning, dont be surprised to see Spieth and Reed play all four team matches together.Ryder Cup 2016: Complete schedule, rosters and formatThe second match of the morning foursomes session had more twists and turns than a roller coaster. The turning point -- strange as it might sound in the aftermath -- might have been the Americans making a mess of the sixth hole. Phil Mickelson drove one shot out of bounds, followed by Rickie Fowler hitting one against a fence, followed by Lefty trying, unsuccessfully, to hit a right-handed shot. They would lose that hole, but it spurred them on to win each of the next three with birdies. The roller coaster didnt end there, though. The European team of Rory McIlroy and Andy Sullivan would battle back from 1-down after 10 holes to take a 2-up lead through 14. Directly after that, for the second time in the match, Mickelson and Fowler would win three in a row, culminating with Fowlers brilliant tee shot on the par-3 17th hole that eventually led to a victory.

He says he believes people will be watching Tiger watch golf and that he expects that the superstar could buoy certain pairings at crucial moments.So far so good.Woods followed Dustin Johnson and Matt Kuchar in their foursome match against Lee Westwood and Thomas Pieters. The American pair stormed out to a 5-up lead after eight holes, with Johnsons putting leading the way, before winning the match outright. -- ESPN.com news servicesA fan fashion timeoutFans on both sides did not disappoint Friday. Here are a few memorable looks from Team USA supporters:(P.S. Rocky has looked better.)Sports celeb sightingMichael Jordan ... in the house:Dont count em out yetThat was the message from Martin Kaymer and Sergio Garcia after the U.S. swept the morning foursomes to go up 4-0 in the Ryder Cup.Its a different game we play in the afternoon, and I think we are all ready, Kaymer said. We are fired up. We want to keep that trophy and bring it home to Europe.Kaymer and Garcia were on the losing end of their match to Jimmy Walker and Zach Johnson, who closed them out, 4 and 2, on the 16th hole. The matches were played before massive crowds that were vocal in their support of the American team.Obviously they are very excited, Garcia said. They should be. But you know, its our job to hopefully quiet them down a little bit and see if we can do that this afternoon. -- The Associated PressTip of the hatAs the morning fog cleared during the morning session Friday, some of the Team Europe players, including Sergio Garcia and Rory McIlroy, were playing without their official baseball caps. Strange? According to team captain Darren Clarke, not really.We dont all wear hats. Some guys wear them. Some guys dont, he said. You know, its not -- the hats are there. I think theres maybe 10 different choices of hats in the locker room and they had the choice if they want to, whichever one they want or if they dont want to wear any at all. Sometimes the guys just, they dont want to wear [them] -- theres no particular reason for it. --Kevin MaguireA fan fashion timeout, Part IITeam Europe fans didnt disappoint, either.
