Bryson DeChambeau's surge up the 2026 Open Championship leaderboard came to an abrupt halt when tournament officials assessed him a two-stroke penalty for a rules violation during Round 2, an R&A official confirmed on Friday, July 17. DeChambeau had just finished what appeared to be a second consecutive resurgent round playing alongside Scottie Scheffler at Royal Birkdale, vaulting into second place behind leader Lucas Herbert when the post-round drama began to unfold.

Golf Channel analysts Chamblee and McGinley were tough on DeChambeau. According to them, DeChambeau clearly improved the path of his backswing. I don’t believe there is video proof of that.

I know very little about golf. I will wait to hear what LDotter Hazymac has to say about this. He will know what is right, I bet.

Obviously, a golfer is not supposed to use a lawnmower to be able to access the ball.

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham served in Congress for more than three decades, but public disclosure estimates show he died with a modest net worth compared to many of his longtime Washington colleagues. The senator died with a net worth of about $1.4 million, with congressional disclosures from May showing a lower-end estimate of just over $600,000 and an upper estimate of a little more than $2.2 million. Despite serving in Congress for 31 years, Graham ranked at 294th in wealth among the 535 voting members of Congress, according to data from the Quiver Quantitative.

Gov. Michelle Lujan-Grisham (D-NM) responded to Associated Press and Albuquerque Journal reports detailing that the Drug Enforcement Administration allowed just under two million fentanyl pills to "walk" into the United States in order to obtain “intelligence," from 2023 to 2025, primarily during the Biden-era. “Make no mistake: the DEA knew people would die if these pills made it into New Mexico communities, and the agency let it happen anyway,” Lujan-Grisham said in a statement, adding that "there are no words to describe how reckless and dangerous these decisions were."

In rapid succession, three blue states have followed California’s lead and moved to ban some of the most commonly owned handguns nationwide. Within the span of a single week, governors in Maryland, Connecticut, and New York signed sweeping measures targeting Glock pistols and similar firearms. Until now, only California had enacted such a categorical prohibition. The speed and similarity of these actions should alarm every law-abiding gun owner in the country.

The NCAA is still deliberating expanding March Madness on both the men's and women's sides to 76 teams for next season — a much-expected development that's been in the works for years. The NCAA released a brief statement Tuesday in the wake of an ESPN report that cited unnamed sources saying a decision to add eight teams to the bracket is a mere formality that's expected in May. "Expanding the basketball tournaments would require approval from multiple NCAA committees, including the men's and women's basketball committees, and no final recommendations or decisions have been made at this time," the statement said.

As prices soar across stadiums and arenas nationwide, Augusta National — home of the Masters golf tournament — is once again standing out for its low prices. The famed golf club in Augusta, Georgia, went viral on social media after journalist Claire Rogers shared a photo of its concession menu during the Augusta National Women's Amateur (ANWA). Rogers' post, shared March 31, highlighted food prices that remain low in 2026. The stand offered sandwiches ranging from $1.50 to $3, including egg salad and pimento cheese at the low end, and club and ham-and-cheese options at $3.

Basketball Hall of Famer Charles Barkley used a segment about UConn Huskies star Alex Karaban to go on a political rant during CBS’ broadcast of March Madness on Sunday. CBS featured Karaban in a piece about his family. His mother, Olga, came to Massachusetts from Ukraine with her parents and grandparents in 1996. His father, Alexei, immigrated to the U.S. from Belarus on a work visa in 2001. After the segment aired, Barkley lamented the alleged treatment of legal immigrants. "I want to be careful with my words right now because this is a really touchy subject for me," he said.

Tucson, Ariz. — The sheriff investigating the apparent kidnapping of "Today" show anchor Savannah Guthrie's mother was spotted sitting near the front row at a college basketball game Saturday night, even as Guthrie and her two siblings posted a plaintive plea on Instagram for the safe return of their mother. Fox News Digital obtained photos of Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos, who is facing increased scrutiny as the investigation into Nancy Guthrie's disappearance drags on, attending a matchup between the University of Arizona and Oklahoma State. Early Sunday morning will mark one week since Guthrie, 84, disappeared from her suburban Tucson home.

COVID-19 vaccine injures are so common many of the legislators who pushed them have also been severely injured—but still won't admit it. This culture of silence around these injuries must end. One of the things which has always fascinated me about the world is how certain invisible laws govern the “spontaneous” events that occur around us (e.g., radioactive decay).(Snip) When the COVID-19 vaccines were initially released, I had a large number of patients immediately show up with “moderate” reactions to the COVID vaccines, with many of them stating something to the effect of: “I have gotten a flu shot for years and I have never experienced anything like this.”

Things just keep getting worse for the Democratic Party, and at this rate, they may need a new metaphor because "keeps getting worse" barely covers it anymore. We already told you the polls are tightening heading into the midterms in November, which was bad enough on its own. Now it turns out the party's situation is so much worse than we already know, and the people running the show apparently don’t want you to know just how bad it really is In a bizarre move, the Democratic National Committee required its senior leadership to sign non-disclosure agreements before a private meeting on the party's finances, according to

It turns out that the “conspiracy theorists” weren’t so crazy after all. President Donald Trump says that foreign governments and corrupt domestic bureaucrats have so compromised our election system across the country that it is worse than a Third World banana republic. “No country could be great without fair and honest elections,” Trump insisted during his Thursday night primetime address. “You have to trust your country because if there can be no trust, there can be no greatness, and that's very simple: no trust, no greatness.” Unfortunately, according to him, between our enemies around the world like the Chinese and Iranian regimes and their collaborators in the American media and

Pakistan's Supreme Court quashed the sentences of three individuals convicted of murdering a Christian man and his pregnant wife — Shahzad Masih (26) and Shama Bibi (24). The couple was burned to death after being thrown into a brick kiln. The incident occurred on Nov. 4, 2014, in Punjab's Kasur District. Masih and Bibi, who worked as laborers at a local brick factory, were falsely accused of desecrating pages of the Quran. The brick kiln owner reportedly prevented the couple from fleeing due to a financial dispute. A local Islamic prayer leader used a mosque loudspeaker to incite a crowd against them. A mob of over 1,000 people then converged

President Donald Trump's Thursday speech to the nation was short and compact. The new teleprompter person was a bit rusty, but he pulled it off without too many hiccups. As expected, the hiccups came from Democrats and the NeverTrumpers, who had already decided what the substance of the speech would be before Trump even uttered a word. The takeaways from the Democrats and the Left: Trump is a raving lunatic and is setting the stage to steal the 2026 midterms. And they accuse Trump of being a conspiracy theorist?

A former Marine who attracted attention to his Florida write-in congressional campaign with an explicit assassination threat against Donald Trump is now in handcuffs. The U.S. Department of Justice announced on July 16 the arrest and charging of Jacksonville’s William L. Upham. It is illegal to make an explicit threat against the life of the president of the United States, and that is just what Upham did. Upham already appeared in federal court and is still being detained. He could be looking at five years in federal prison if the feds secure a conviction. Given the three nearly successful attempts on Trump's life already, the feds cannot afford to dismiss

The fast-food drive-thru was not born in California. But the idea was perfected by California cultural icon In-N-Out, which is fitting because the double-double chain has become the main villain in Culver City’s effort to ban drive-thrus. Red’s Giant Hamburg on Route 66 in Springfield, Mo., was likely the first drive-thru restaurant in the country, says the American Automobile Association, serving customers as early as 1947. But In-N-Out created a year later “the drive-thru as we know it today, complete with an intercom ordering system,” at its Baldwin Park restaurant, which had “only enough room for the cooks.”

That criticism would apply to his wife, a psychiatrist who operates a private practice that does not accept Medicaid, Medicare, or any other insurance. In a June campaign video captioned "Clinics and hospitals can discriminate against you based on your health insurance coverage," El-Sayed lamented what he called America's "multi-class healthcare system."

The State Department is considering requiring some green card applicants to hand over thousands of dollars in the Trump administration’s latest bid to ensure new arrivals to the US can support themselves. Some officials have floated making would-be legal permanent residents submit a $100,000 bond if applying at a US consulate overseas, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday. Others said the deposit amount could fluctuate depending on individual cases.Green card holders would likely be repaid upon becoming US citizens, a process that takes at least five years. “President Trump has made clear that those who wish to immigrate to the United States must be financially self-sufficient,”
