Welcome to our latest Horizons round-up.
The Ryder Cup may not have gone Europe’s way for our golfers, but over in India, Andy Murray could claim he had rather greater woes. We felt for him as he revealed the moment he realised he had tied his wedding ring to his tennis shoes, which had just been stolen… https://twitter.com/atptour/status/1445995070377771011?s=12
We’re very glad that he is back in the good books on the home front, as both the ring and trainers have since been recovered!
Here are some of the research and articles that caught our attention in September.
