    Think 74 a is T.S.A.C . It's only American series I could see that fits. What's 37 down and 14 down?

    Struggling with a few

    18a - the kind of budget that won’t get you far in the Premier League (10)

    10d - put sage in the background (7)

    12d - putting up a fight creates sin and is sometimes futile (10)

    90d/41a/17a - there is nothing round about this iconic indoor venue 7,6,6)

    43a/93a is she a Brazilian equivalent of 51a (McGregor) (4,6)

    If people put the clues in their posts it would help those who don't have the puzzle to assist you with the answers.

    Hi,

    Just wondering what's the reasoning behind this answer

    47(A) First for the first Major slammer - Gene? (I thought it was game)

    14(D) You need finer feet for warm weather training on this island (I have only Tenerife but there's a empty space?)

    Any help greatly appreciated

    There are two F's in "finer feet", maybe Teneriffe is spelled with two?

    It's Gene after Gene Sarazen who won career slam of golf majors.
