now, spare a thought for lexi thompson. the american was two shots clear during the final round of one of women's golf‘s major tournaments, when she was penalised by officials, effectively costing her the title. but it was a tv viewer who spotted her mistake rather than a referee. 0ur correspondent, andy swiss, reports. just imagine it. you are on course for the winner of your life, just few holes from glory... but lexi thompson's dream was about to become a nightmare. the reason? this moment from her previous round. look closely. she marks her ball, picks it up and put it down in a fraction ofa it up and put it down in a fraction of a different place, which is against the rules. nobody noticed that the time but a tv viewer spotted it, alerted officials, who then interrupted her final spotted it, alerted officials, who then interrupted herfinal round spotted it, alerted officials, who then interrupted her final round to give her a four shot penalty. yeah is this a joke? no, give her a four shot penalty. yeah is this ajoke

in touch with the leaders, but a round of 71 yesterday has left her eight shots behind leader lexi thompson of america. hull gets herfinal round under way at 20 to nine uk time — this evening. following johanna konta's victory in the miami open yesterday it's the men's turn today. and it's a repeat of the australian open final with roger federer taking on rafa nadal. federer won that day and claimed the first set here 6—3 with a solitary break. he is serving for the title as we speak in the second set right now. roger federer is on serve right now. we will keep you up to date with that. and finally, belgium's phillipe gilbert took an impressive solo victory in one of cycling's five one—day "monuments" — the tour of flanders. the home favourite pulled clear with more than 50 kilometres to go over the belgian hills and cobbles and finished in style, hopping off his bike and carrying it over the line. apparently that is allowed in the rules. that's all from sportsday. there'll be more sport on the bbc news channel throughout the evening. hello and welcome.

speaking to our sports editor dan roan before baroness grey—thompsons recommendations were published she says that athlete welfare is key. it's hard to be a successful cyclist if you are not happy in your programme and racing. and everything that goes with it. mental health, and how you feel and being supported, that is so important. i have always felt well supported. it's nice they are looking into the different ways of supporting athletes, putting them first. but ultimately it is all about training and racing, and succeeding. there is and racing, and succeeding. there is a school of thought that says if you have concentrated a bit too much on welfare and looking after people, you may not be so successful. it is that ruthlessness and drive on performance that has got team gb as high as they have. is it possible to have both? identikit is a conversation you're you can have a buddy team is broadly. —— i do not think it is a conversation you can have so broadly. every team has a different approach. you need someone supporting and on your side. and you need discussions and conversat

the american golfer lexi thompson was moved to tears as she discussed — in her words — the ‘nightmare‘ penalty which cost her a major title. thompson was leading the ana last month, when she received a four—stroke penalty for playing her ball from the wrong place and then signing an incorrect scorecard. the controversy only came about after a tv viewer contacted officials to inform them of the infringement. the incident has since led to a rule change. that's one of my favourite tournaments and it's always a dream of mine tojust tournaments and it's always a dream of mine to just see myself... i worked my whole life to have my name on major championship trophies, especially that one, that's a very special week for me with all the history behind it. i played amazing that week, i don't think i've ever played any better. just for that to happen, it was just, played any better. just for that to happen, it wasjust, kind of a nightmare. that's all from sportsday. there'll be more sport here on bbc news throughout the evening. the headlines at 6.30pm — a 27—year—old man is arrested

thompson later thanked her fans for helping her through. golf is no stranger to trial by television, but its results are rarely this painful. that's all from sportsday. coming up in a moment, the papers. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broadcaster and author, damejoan bakewell and thejournalist, tim montgomerie. tomorrow's front pages, starting with the telegraph. the telegraph leads with criticism of the national trust for dropping the word easter from its easter egg hunt, and carries a large picture from the explosion in st petersburg. the i says opinion polls show labour losing over a hundred seats at next months local elections. the express reports one in five british workers has no retirement savings at all. the financial times leads with the news that unemployment in the eurozone is at an eight year low. the metro reports a claim by a union leader that some teachers are working four day weeks then working another for free to keep up with the workload. the daily m

you are on course for the winner of your life, just a few homes from glory but lexi thompson's dream was about to become a nightmare. the reason, this moment from her previous round. look closely, she marks a ball, picks it up closely, she marks a ball, picks it up and then puts it down in a fractionally different place, which is against the rules. no one noticed at the time but a tv viewer spotted it, alerted officials who then interrupted her final round to give her a four shot penalty. is this a joke? no, it is not. that is ridiculous. thomson was in tears. instead of two shots ahead she was to be had. this belief shared by the watching tiger woods the immediately tweeted, viewers at home should not be officials wearing stripes. let's go lexie, when this thing anyway. she came remarkably close. she battled back and on the final hole at this putt to win. agonisingly, victory slipped away. all because of that one eagle eyed deer. victory slipped away. all because of that one eagle eyed deerlj victory slipped away. all because of that one eagle eyed deer. i wasn't expecting that on w
