CNN —Gambling in the crowds on the PGA Tour? “The environment we put out at a PGA Tour event, we believe, is best in class, so you balance that with the fun. And that’s long been an issue out here, really, since the beginning of the PGA Tour. Kevin C. Cox/Getty ImagesDennis was joined at the press conference by PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan, who added that Saturday’s incident was “unfortunate,” but ultimately, uncommon. We have tremendous fans that have tremendous respect for what these players need to do in order to provide and present the tremendous performances they do.”

Hovland shot 10 birdies – including seven across the last nine holes – to card an unprecedented nine-under 61 and edge Fitzpatrick and world No. It means Hovland will tee off two shots behind Scheffler, who was left to rue yet another strong performance that ultimately reaped no silverware. With six runner-up finishes across his last two PGA Tour seasons, only Cameron Young has finished second as often, though Scheffler’s six wins during that period undoubtedly soften the blow. Joe Robbins/Icon Sportswire/Getty ImagesRory McIlroy finished three shots behind Fitzpatrick and Scheffler in fourth after also shooting 66. Paired with Hovland for the final round, the Northern Irishman had a front row seat to a historic showing.

June 23 (Reuters) - Washington state plans to require electric vehicle charging companies to include Tesla's plug if they want to be part of a state program to electrify highways using federal dollars, an official told Reuters on Thursday. Washington follows the move by Texas to mandate Tesla's technology, The North American Charging Standard (NACS), adding momentum to CEO Elon Musk's hope of making it the national charging technology. GM (GM.N), Ford (F.N) and Rivan (RIVN.O) have said they would embrace Tesla's NACS, shunning efforts by the Biden administration to make the Combined Charging System (CCS) the dominant charging standard in the United States. Buell said state officials are still trying to determine the right mix of NACS chargers based on current federal requirements. The plan by Washington may add pressure on other states and the federal government to adopt Tesla's NACS.

☆ Don’t Automatically Write Off Aileen Cannon in the Trump Documents Case - The New York Times

In other words, the panel chastised her for not properly applying the law and for not treating Mr. Trump like any other criminal defendant. Other legal experts have asked if Judge Cannon has the judicial chops to handle a case of this type and magnitude. She has, after all, been a federal judge for only some two and a half years and has never tried a case involving the theft of classified documents. History shows that Trump-appointed judges have not given him any special treatment when he has defied the rule of law. Nearly every Trump-appointed judge (including his Supreme Court appointees) denied Mr. Trump’s litigation efforts to further his falsehood that the 2020 presidential election was rigged.

Dystany Spurlock , of Goldvein, Va., on her Buell National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Pro Stock drag-racing motorcycle, as told to A.J. I have worked as an actor, a model and I drive a tractor trailer. One thing I have always wanted to do was race Pro Stock NHRA motorcycles, which is the top-ranked motorcycle drag-racing series in the world. I have been drag racing bikes for a long time at lower levels, and last year I was with a team and things were not going as planned. I learned through one of my sponsors about someone selling a Pro Stock team.

They’re offering more policy briefings to longtime supporters, Zoom calls with top administration officials and White House tours, too. "The $500,000 people like me, we’re not going to be players in 2024," said Dick Harpootlian, a longtime Democratic donor and South Carolina state senator. For the White House, the shift is an acceleration of a courtship campaign that began more modestly before the midterm elections. Amid concerns about the omicron variant last year, the White House was forced to abandon plans for a more full set of holiday parties. Some of those same people were invited to the White House next month for an in-person policy briefing.
