PROBLEM: Could the golfing summer be set up any more perfectly? Is there anyone who now doubts we are in at the start of a rivalry that is going to have us pinned to our seats for the next decade? For the first time in the game’s long history the world No 1 and world No 2 hold all four majors between them and the next stop just happens to be — honestly, who is writing these scripts? — the Home of Golf itself. Who’s your money on? Rory McIlroy, the No 1 with all the talent, or Jordan Spieth, the No 2 infused with Texan grit? It is like Roger Federer against Rafael Nadal from a few years ago, only played out in wide open spaces and with smaller balls.Jordan Spieth won the US Open to claim his second major of 2015American and Rory McIlroy currently hold all four majors between themThe pair are set for a showdown at The Open in next major at St Andrews

PROBLEM: Tim Sherwood will consider selling Christian Benteke this summer if Aston Villa’s star striker insists he wants to leave the club. Benteke has two years left on his contract once this season is completed and harbours ambitions to play in Europe. Sherwood said the Belgium international had given no suggestion he would like a transfer away and appeared to be enjoying his football at Villa Park. But the Villa manager admitted that, were the 24-year-old to demand a move, as he did two years ago, he would be inclined to sanction it. Villa are believed to value Benteke at upwards of £25million and Wolfsburg have monitored his situation. Benteke has scored eight goals in his last six matches.Aston Villa play Liverpool in their FA Cup semi-final on Sunday at WembleyChristian Benteke has scored eight goals in his last six matches for VillaBundesliga side Wolfsburg are believed to be interested in Benteke24-year-old striker has two years left on his current £50,000-a-week deal
