Clean sweep for UAE in golf as the hosts win team gold and Rayan claims individual title

Two damaged tankers arrived safely Sunday at locations off the UAE coast after they were rocked by explosions in Gulf waters.
The Japanese-owned Kokuka Courageous was carrying highly flammable methanol through the Gulf of Oman on Thursday when it came under attack along with the Norwegian-operated Front Altair - the second assault in a month in the strategic shipping lane.

US President Donald Trump has said the operation had Iran "written all over it" - rejecting Tehran's denial - and its key Gulf ally Saudi Arabia has also lashed out against Tehran.
In his first public comments since the attacks, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said in remarks published Sunday that he would not hesitate to tackle any threats to the oil-rich kingdom.
"We do not want a war in the region... But we won't hesitate to deal with any threat to our people, our sovereignty, our territorial integrity and our vital interests," he told Asharq Al Awsat.
He said Iran had responded to a visit to Tehran by Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe "by attacking two tankers, one of which was Japanese".
The crew of the Kokuka Courageous saw a "flying object" before a second blast on board, the operator's head said Friday.
The vessel's Singapore-based BSM Ship Management said in a statement Sunday that it had "arrived safely at the designated anchorage" and that its crew were "safe and well".
