Solutions

1:A - Kuchar had agreed to pay the caddie a maximum of $4,000 for the week, so was a bit miffed when he was accused of being stingy. “I ended up paying him $5,000 and I thought that was more than what we agreed upon. I certainly don’t lose sleep over this. Making $5,000 is a great week.” , 2:D - Miller lost the bet to his first trainer. “We had made a bet and he won, so he got to pick my nickname. He thought ‘Big Baby’ would be marketable and make me more likeable. In my professional debut, I knocked out Darius Whitson, and all the girls sitting ringside were chanting ‘Big Baby, Big Baby,’ so that was proof enough for me.”, 3:D - Thankfully they don’t overlap. , 4:D - May ran over three quick tries in the Six Nations as he became the first England player to score a hat-trick against France since 1924., 5:B - Thursday 22 September 1994 was a big day for English football., 6:A - Banks played one game for Irish side St Patrick’s Athletic in 1977 as a favour to his old teammate Barry Bridges, who was managing the club. St Pats won 1-0, which gave Banks one last clean sheet., 7:C - The matches were only friendlies so he was still allowed to declare for another country., 8:B - People in Tokyo have donated thousands of old gadgets to the project., 9:C - Wigan are hosting Sydney Roosters in the World Club Challenge, an annual match that pits the Super League champions against the NRL champions., 10:C - De Ligt became youngest player to captain a team in a Champions League knockout game, breaking a record set by Cesc Fàbregas a decade ago.
