Si Woo Kim just misses history at Byron Nelson

McKINNEY, Texas (AP) — Si Woo Kim just missed out on a 59 at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson on Friday, bogeying the final hole when a par would have given him the 16th sub-60 round in PGA Tour history. The 30-year-old South Korean put himself in position to break 60 with a curling 17-foot birdie putt from the fringe on the par-3 17th hole at TPC Craig Ranch. It was his 12th birdie of the day, putting him at 12 under on the par-71 layout. Kim was in the fairway on the 18th, but blasted his second shot over the green. His chip coming back stopped about 19 feet short of the hole, and his ...

King Trump and the looming MAGA challenge

Donald Trump is the undisputed king of the Republican Party. Earlier this month, Trump exacted revenge on Indiana state senators who had opposed his call to redistrict the Hoosier State; his endorsees won a majority of races against incumbents. Last weekend, Trump successfully nuked Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) from political life, relegating the incumbent to a shocking third place in his statewide primary. And this past Tuesday, Trump-endorsed candidates across the nation won every primary race -- 37 victories and zero defeats. Overall, Trump's approval rating among members of his own ...

QBs selected later in NFL draft strive for success despite long odds

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Carson Beck had his fans and also some detractors during the NFL draft process, which explains why the quarterback fell to the third round before being selected by the Arizona Cardinals with the No. 65 overall pick. The 24-year-old spent six years in college, had some ups and downs and dealt with a major elbow injury that kept him off the field for months. He might not be viewed as the perfect prospect, but in his mind none of that matters. All he needed was an opportunity. "Everybody's got to run their own race," Beck said. "It looks different for everyone ...

Health advice is all over social media. Here’s how to vet claims

(AP) — Health and wellness advice is available in abundance on social media — from trendy to informative to straight-up disinformation — and you're far from alone in seeing it.

Researchers also looked at the social media profiles of 6,828 health and wellness influencers with at least 100,000 followers. Only about 4 in 10 list a background as a health professional. About one-third called themselves coaches, ...
