President Donald Trump celebrated pro golfer Rory McIlroy’s Masters win on Sunday, calling McIlroy’s game an “amazing” effort. By winning the legendary green jacket, McIlroy became only the sixth pro golfer to achieve a Grand Slam, winning every pro golf major at least once in his career. “I have to congratulate Rory,” Trump said when asked if he watched this year’s Masters, Fox News reported. “That took tremendous courage. He was having a hard time, but it showed great guts, stamina, and courage.” The president said, “People have no idea how tough that is. He came back. It’s better for him that it happened that way because that showed real courage

Condolences to those who don't understand the magical game of golf and it's examination of a man. I feel total kinship with those who watched every shot yesterday, I feel blessed to have seen it.

Great win for Rory. He must have thought about his collapse 11 years ago when he doubled the first hole. Wonderful and relentless stamina to gut it out and win.

Rory gutted it all the way through to victory yesterday, and it was a thrill to see (although Justin Rose, a great champion in his own right, lost his second Masters playoff). The champion earned his green jacket. For spectators, the Masters is usually the tournament of the year. The 2025 Masters was one of the classics. Anyone who saw it won't forget what happened. And Rory is the first player in ninety years for whom the Masters was the fourth of four. Lee Trevino was the only three major winner after Sarazen, until McIlroy, who (IIRC) needed the Masters as his fourth. He told himself that his low fade wouldn't work at Augusta, but sold himself short. He could hit it like Nicklaus when he wanted to! And Nicklaus, who usually hit a fade, would practice hitting draws before each Masters. The only two holes at Augusta National that bend to the right are #1 and #18! Trevino could hit a high draw any time he wanted to. My real golf heroes: Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan, Palmer, Nicklaus, Player, and Trevino. As Jack has said, "Golf is the greatest game of all." Yesterday, we saw why.

As usual, the Masters produced another great tournament to watch. Congrats to Rory!!! I think my all time favorite was the 1987 event when Larry Mize chipped in a winner to defeat Greg Norman and Seve Ballesteros in a sudden death playoff. My least favorite Masters was way back in the '60's when Roberto De Vicenzo signed his card at the end of play but his playing partner, Tommy Aaron, had written in an incorrect score for him on one of the holes which cost De Vicenzo his opportunity to participate in a playoff with Bob Goalby to determine the winner. Bad ending for Roberto.

Indeed, it was a great tournament. Good for McIlroy. I'd love to see Justin Rose win next year.

Officers initially conducted a traffic stop at about 7:15 p.m. after identifying a vehicle whose owner had both an active warrant and a suspended driver's license. After officers detained the driver, police then discovered a raccoon named "Chewy" sitting in the driver's seat with a meth pipe in its mouth, police reported. Officers further inspected the vehicle after that discovery and ended up finding a "bulk amount" of meth, crack cocaine and three used glass meth pipes.

In high school, the doomsday scenarios regarding global warming were endless. In 2007, the climate change cult said the Arctic Ice Cap would vanish. It didn’t. When 2013 hit, it gained about 530,000 square miles of ice. Still, the con is on with the Green Left, who claims they were on the verge of total destruction. In the 1970s, global cooling and North American re-glaciation would imperil humanity. They were wrong then, and they’re wrong now. The Green Movement has been exposed as a backdoor communist push, spearheaded by the wealthy and the elites to screw over further working Americans via intentional economic sabotage.
