Kim at the 2021 Golf Partner Pro-Am each shot 58 on the Japan Golf Tour.What made DeChambeau’s round stand out was he shot 58 with a bogey.“Oh my God. Do you believe that?” DeChambeau said after his big putt as a steady rain fell on the Old White course at Greenbrier Resort.DeChambeau finished at 23-under 187 for a six-shot victory over Mito Pereira, earning the $4 million payoff for the individual competition.The Greenbrier previously hosted a PGA Tour event for nine years. ...

(CNN) — Mike Pence, exvicepresidente de Estados Unidos, dijo que cumplirá la ley si debe testificar en el juicio contra el expresidente Donald Trump por el caso de las elecciones de 2020.“No tengo planes de testificar, pero, siempre cumpliremos con la ley.

KYIV ­— Representatives of some 40 countries that took part in Saudi-hosted Ukraine peace talks this weekend agreed that any kind of peace treaty aimed to end Russia’s war against Ukraine must be based on respect for the territorial integrity of Ukraine and the U.N. Charter, the Ukrainian government said on Sunday.Russia did not take part in the talks.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:15:00 GMT

FOXBORO — Outside linebacker Matthew Judon was suddenly a lot more present on the practice field two days after the team agreed to give him a well-earned pay raise for the 2023 season.Judon joked, “I haven’t been sad yet” since he agreed to terms on an amended contract that will guarantee him $14 million with a chance to earn up to $18 million if he hits all of his incentives. The four-year, $54.5 million contract he signed in 2021 had an $11 million salary with just $2 million guaranteed in 2023.“Me and the guys upstairs got something done as far as my contract,” Judon said Sunday afternoon after training camp practice. “You guys all know. It’s reported. I’m happy. They’re happy. We shook hands, and now we’re playing football.”Related ArticlesNew England Patriots | Jonathan Jones among 5 starters missing at Patriots training camp Sunday New England Patriots | NFL notes: Is Bill Belichick embracing sports science at Patriots training camp?

Musk says cage fight with Zuckerberg will stream on X

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:15:00 GMT

NEW YORK — Elon Musk says his potential in-person fight with Mark Zuckerberg would be streamed on his social media site X, formerly known as Twitter.The two tech billionaires seemingly agreed to a “cage match” face-off in late June. Zuckerberg is actually trained in mixed martial arts, and the CEO of Facebook’s parent company Meta posted about completing his first jiu jitsu tournament earlier this year.“Zuck v Musk fight will be live-streamed on X,” Musk wrote in a post Sunday on the platform. “All proceeds will go to charity for veterans.”Musk said earlier Sunday he was training for the fight by lifting weights.“Don’t have time to work out, so I just bring them to work,” Musk wrote.Whether or not Musk and Zuckerberg actually make it to the ring in Las Vegas has yet to be seen — especially as Musk often tweets about action prematurely or without following through. But even if their cage match agreement is all a joke, the ba...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:15:00 GMT

Another Mega Millions drawing has passed by without a jackpot winner.The numbers drawn Friday night were: 11, 30, 45, 52, 56 and the gold ball 20.Because no one matched all six numbers and won the estimated $1.35 billion jackpot, the top prize increased to an estimated $1.55 billion for the next drawing Tuesday night.There have now been 31 straight drawings without a jackpot winner. The last time someone won the Mega Millions jackpot was April 18.The $1.55 billion prize would be for a sole winner who chooses the annuity option with payment stretched over 30 years. Most winners opt for a lump-sum payment, which would be an estimated $757.2 million on Tuesday.A big slice of those winnings would go toward federal taxes, while many states also tax lottery payouts, including Massachusetts.The jackpot is so hard to win because of the 1 in 302.6 million odds of matching the numbers on five white balls and a separate mega ball. The odds are better to win smaller prizes, which start at $2.Gl...
