Golfing pair Jason Day and Adam Scott have become the first Australians to enter ESPN's annual World Fame 100, a list which uses a formula combining endorsements, social media, and internet popularity to rate the world's most famous athletes.
The 2015 US PGA winner Day came in at number 85 on the list with Scott scraping in at number 98 thanks largely to his 2013 US Masters triumph.
Johnston's five star performance gives Souths victory
South Sydney have kept their finals hopes alive with a comprehensive 42-14 victory over the Penrith Panthers at ANZ Stadium, with winger Alex Johnston scoring five tries.
"I've always been a great admirer of his game. I told a lot of the journalists at the time, 'There's a kid called Jason Day and he's going to be a big name, possibly a superstar'."
Real Madrid and Portuguese soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo heads the ESPN list with NBA champion Lebron James in second. Lionel Messi ranks third, while Roger Federer and Phil Mickelson round out the top five.
