ANTIQUES SHOPS

A re-formed Black Sabbath brought this year's Download rock festival to a close at Donington Park.

The band included three of the four original members, with only drummer Bill Ward not appearing on stage.

Singer Ozzy Osbourne, guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and Tommy Clufetos played a set packed with Black Sabbath hits including War Pigs, Paranoid and Sweet Leaf.

The band are bringing out a new album next year with a world tour planned.

Seattle band Soundgarden, who reunited in 2010, performed their first UK show for 15 years as second headliners on the main stage at Download.

The band played songs including Spoonman, Black Hole Sun and Rusty Cage but left out some well known tracks like Superunknown.

Front man Chris Cornell admitted on stage that he was almost more excited about seeing Black Sabbath play than performing with his band.

He admitted every American band wanted to play at Donington Park once.

He said: "If you're in a rock band or you're a fan, it's pretty well documented as being the big hard rock festival worldwide. It's the one.

"I played Download three years ago on a solo tour and it was great. It stood out as being one of the best festival shows I'd had, certainly that year."

Other acts who appeared on Sunday (10 June) included Rise Against, Megadeth, Anthrax, Ugly Kid Joe, Lamb of God and Black Label Society.

Download organiser Andy Copping said the 10th anniversary festival had been the best yet.

He also backed the inclusion of Chase & Status on the line-up after some negative fan reaction.

"We've got to take risks now and again otherwise the festival is just going to roll over and die," he said.

"What we've had to do with the line-ups over the years is make sure that we do push the boundaries a little bit.

"We're a rock festival but every now and again we have to widen the scope."

Andy Copping also revealed that one of next year's headliners had already been signed up with the second due to be finalised in the next few weeks.

He said the line-up would be revealed when all three headliners were in place.

Next year's festival will take place between 14 and 16 June.

A new deposit scheme has also been launched for 2013 which will allow festival-goers to pay in instalments for the first time.

More than 100,000 people attended this year's event.

Graeme McDowell is feeling confident of success at this year's US Open, having taken a look at the Olympic Club course ahead of the tournament, which stats on Thursday.

McDowell, the world No. 21, won the US Open in 2010 and has performed commendably on the PGA Tour this year, most notably when he finished second at the Arnold Palmer Invitational during March.

However, he could not make the cut at last week's St Jude Classic, which was won by Dustin Johnson. Nonetheless, he feels enthused by his chances at Olympic Club because of the similarities to Pebble Beach, where he claimed his solitary major.

"To me it seems like it's a left-to-right player's kind of set up," McDowell said. "I like the way it sets up for me so far, and the greens are maybe the best I've seen in a very long time, they roll perfectly. It's going to be a great test: it's the US Open, and we expect it to be tough.

"I'm feeling good. California's been a good state for me: in 2010 I won twice in the state, most notably at Pebble Beach, and we're just up the road from Pebble. The airfield's the same, and we've got that ocean breeze.

"The air's heavy, and the ball doesn't fly so far in the mornings, so you've got to give the wind a lot of respect here. San Francisco's an amazing city, and the place has got an amazing feel to it."

Meanwhile, in the world rankings, Johnson has climbed from No. 20 to No. 10.

World Rankings: 1. Luke Donald (ENG), 2. Rory McIlroy (NIR), 3. Lee Westwood (ENG), 4. Tiger Woods (USA), 5. Bubba Watson (USA), 6. Matt Kuchar (USA), 7. Justin Rose (ENG), 8. Hunter Mahan (USA), 9. Jason Dufner (USA), 10. Dustin Johnson (USA), 11. Steve Stricker (USA), 12. Martin Kaymer (GER), 13. Phil Mickelson (USA), 14. Webb Simpson (USA), 15. Charl Schwartzel (SAF), 16. Louis Oosthuizen (SAF), 17. Adam Scott (AUS), 18. Zach Johnson (USA), 19. Jason Day (AUS), 20. Rickie Fowler (USA).
