R&A MAKES CHANGES TO BUNKERSHOYLAKE, England (AP) — The R&A has made adjustments to the bunkers at Royal Liverpool for the second round of the British Open to prevent so many balls running up against the face.The tournament organizer said the bunkers have been raked “slightly differently” to ensure there is more of a slope down to the center of them.“We routinely rake bunkers flat at most Open venues,” the R&A said in a statement, “but decided this adjustment was appropriate in light of the dried conditions which arose yesterday.”Some players reportedly complained that the flatness of the bunkers meant balls were rolling too close to the face during the first round. That could potentially lead to injuries when players swing their club into bunker walls.WHAT TO KNOW— A day of surprises at British Open.— South African amateur Christo Lamprecht is a big man with a big game— Rasmus and Nicolai first set of twins playing the British Open— New hole on an old links getting all ...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:20:41 GMT

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — With three goals in four minutes in the middle of a lopsided first half Friday, Spain shattered Costa Rica’s resistance, created the foundation of a resounding 3-0 win and sent a warning to rivals at the Women’s World Cup.Speculation that Spain was a team weakened by injuries was misleading. They had more than 80% of possession by halftime, 12 corners, 15 shots on goal and had put to rest any concerns over injured players left behind. That the second half didn’t match the first was of little concern.Spain began its campaign with a performance that demanded attention and brightened a bitter winter’s night in Wellington.Two-time Ballon d’Or-winner Alexis Putellas started on the bench, wasn’t needed until the 77th minute, and went on to a rousing ovation after her long injury battle.Though they attacked relentlessly, Spain needed 22 minutes until its opened the scoring, an own goal. Aitana Bonmati cut the ball back across goal from the left an...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:20:41 GMT

AUCKLAND, New Zealand (AP) — In the words of Vietnam’s coach, facing the U.S. national team in the Women’s World Cup is a daunting quest, something “like a mountain,” said Mai Duc Chung.Vietnam makes its World Cup debut Saturday against the United States, the heavy favorites to win the tournament for an unprecedented third time. The Americans enter Saturday’s game in Auckland at Eden Park with the same confidence it carried through its last two World Cup-winning runs.“The U.S. is a very, very strong team. It is like a mountain. But it doesn’t mean that we will give up,” said Mai.But few believe Vietnam has a chance. The national team is very similar to Thailand, which the Americans thumped 13-0 in the opener at the World Cup four years ago in France. The United States went on to beat the Netherlands 2-0 for its second consecutive World Cup and fourth overall, the most of any nation.“Fear? We Believe,” said captain Nuynh Nhu. “We’ve already prepared. Not...

2024 will probably be hotter than this year because of El Niño, NASA scientists say

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 07:20:41 GMT

(CNN) — As millions bake under a relentless heat wave in the South and Southwest US – and as temperatures soar around the Northern Hemisphere – NASA scientists warned Thursday that we haven’t even seen the worst of El Niño and next year will likely be even warmer for the planet.Climate change, caused by burning fossil fuels, is unequivocally warming the Earth’s temperature, NASA scientists said.And El Niño, the natural climate pattern in the tropical Pacific that brings warmer-than-average sea-surface temperatures and influences weather, has only just started in recent months and therefore is not having a huge impact yet on the extreme heat people around the globe are experiencing this summer, said Gavin Schmidt, a climatologist and director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies.“It’s really only just emerged, and so what we’re seeing is not really due to that El Niño,” Schmidt told reporters. “What we’re seeing is the overall warmth pretty much everywhere – particularly i...
