A London-based Betfair punter is now a millionaire after landing a staggering 90,396-1 six-fold golf and football accumulator.

The punter, who staked £11.50 on the accumulator, entered Sunday evening with five winning selections but was made to endure an eight-hole playoff in the final round of the Travelers Championship before Harris English sank a 20-foot putt to secure victory.

The five winning selections leading up to English's PGA Tour success included two bets in the Euro 2020 group stages: England to beat the Czech Republic and Croatia to beat Scotland.

Along with those football selections, the punter also correctly picked Steve Stricker to win the Bridgestone Senior Players Championship, Nelly Korda to win the KPMG Women's PGA Championship and Viktor Hovland to win the BMW International Open.

The winning accumulator

• Croatia to beat Scotland 7-5
• England to beat the Czech Republic 11-20
• Steve Striker to win Bridgestone Senior Players Championship 5-1
• Nelly Korda to win KPMG Women's PGA Championship 14-1
• Viktor Hovland to win BMW International Open 13-2
• Harris English to win Travelers Championship 35-1

Combined odds: 90,396-1
Stake: £11.50
Winnings: £1,039,554

The creators of the Oxford vaccine getting a standing ovation at Wimbledon on Monday. Much as I love sport, it’s nice seeing the applause going to people more deserving for once.

Those golf picks are off the charts. Harris English had only won three times on the tour. Korda has been red hot, winning just the week prior. How the heck he cobbled those selections together is beyond imagination.

The good news is that you broke down in Northampton.

Not Southampton.

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon has said he is bankrupt.

Not sure whether he meant financially, intellectually or both. ;-)
