Thai veteran Thaworn Wiratchant secured a record-equalling 13th Asian Tour title, and his first win in nearly two years, with a three-shot victory at the Queen’s Cup in Koh Samui on Sunday. The 45-year-old star had a glorious eagle at the last hole of the Santiburi Samui Country Club for a three-under-par 68 to hold of challenges from Bangladesh’s Siddikur and reigning Asian number one Juvic Pagunsan. Thaworn matched countryman Thongchai Jaidee’s number of triumphs on the circuit with a winning total of seven-under-par 277, earning himself $47,550 in the process, but he had to come from behind after bogeying the first....

From Call of Duty to Halo to even Mass Effect, the ‘Elites are more glamorous’ trope can be found in just about any game in which players control a character who’s in the military, or who holds some form of rank.

Defending is an art and mastering such art requires discipline and a strong will. When you are assigned the task of preventing the opposition from scoring for 90 minutes, it deems immense concentration and a slight lapse can take the game away from you. The defenders don’t often get the credit they deserve. Till now, there have been only three defenders who have won the FIFA Ballon d’Or - Franz Beckenbauer, Matthias Sammer, and Fabio Cannavaro....
