Each weekend we take a look back on the sporting highs from across Ireland and around the world through the medium of numbers.
19
Rory McIlroy overcame an errant drive on the 18th to secure his 19th title on the PGA Tour in the Wells Fargo Championship last night. The decision to take a drop rather than trying to play from a steep bank on a small stream running towards the green made all the difference giving him two putts to secure his first title since 2019.
67
The number of points in the 5-22 to 1-27 victory of Cork over Waterford in the opening round of the Allianz Hurling League. There was significant excitement with the return of Gaelic Games this weekend. If this is a harbinger of things to come it was well placed.
68
And it came hot on the heels of an equally score heavy clash on Saturday between Galway and Westmeath. 39 scores in 70 minutes for Galway is a mighty achievement.
1
Sam Allardyce has managed eight different teams in the English Premier League and has crafted a reputation as the man to bring on board to save you from relegation. His luck ran out at the weekend though, with defeat to Arsenal meaning the relegation for West Bromwich Albion, the first time fate has befallen the manager.
5
Seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton won the Spanish Grand Prix for the fifth year in a row on Sunday, catching pacesetter Max Verstappen in the closing laps after a strategic pit stop gave him a tyre advantage that he executed to perfection.
24
Swim Ireland is sending a team of 24 athletes to the European Aquatics Championships in Hungary this week. They include Tanya Watson and Oliver Dingley on their return from the Diving World Championships in Toky last week.
