Megha Ganne caps dramatic U.S. Women's Amateur semis with comeback performance
BANDON, Ore. – Megha Ganne loves performing. In grade school, she starred in over a dozen plays and musicals. Her most memorable roles included the Queen of Hearts in 'Alice in Wonderland' and Pinocchio in 'Shrek The Musical.' 'That was a formative part of my childhood,' Ganne said, 'but I haven't done one since freshman year of high school.' While competitive golf has put her acting ambitions on hold in recent years, it hasn't prevented her from producing great theatre on the course. Ganne's incredible comeback Saturday at Bandon Dunes was Tony-worthy. Four down with seven holes to play in her U.S. Women's Amateur semifinal match against Australia's Ella Scaysbrook, Ganne, a rising senior at Stanford, rallied to win in 19 holes to advance to her first championship match, where she will face Michigan State graduate Brooke Biermann in Sunday's 36-hole final. Biermann also needed one hole of overtime to defeat Kansas' Lyla Louderbaugh, which marked only the third time that both semifinals of this championship went to extras. The last occasion was 2018, 118 years after the first, the 1900 U.S. Women's Amateur at Shinnecock. Ganne isn't shy to admit her hopes had dwindled once Scaysbrook drained a 40-foot birdie putt at the par-4 11th hole to go 4 up. But she then tapped into her memory bank, specifically the 2019 U.S. Women's Amateur, the only other time she'd advanced to the semifinals. Ganne was 15 years old, the youngest in the match-play field by four years, and facing then-Stanford senior Albane Valenzuela, who jumped out to an early 3-up lead on Ganne. Though she lost that day, Ganne fought back to extend the match to 19 holes. Since then, Ganne, now a seven-time U.S. Women's Amateur competitor, has dug out of similar holes and won. Ganne's message to herself while walking to the 12th tee: 'There is no reason you should think bad of yourself right now. If you told yourself at 15 this is where you would be, you would be pretty proud of yourself. You're exactly the type of person that could make this happen right now. Let's just go do it.' Scaysbrook certainly played a role in the ensuing drama. She left her second shot in a bunker at the par-3 12th and conceded that hole. Then she missed a 4-footer for birdie that lost her the par-5 13th. 'That was the first putt I've seen her miss all day,' Ganne said. Two holes later, Scaysbrook's chip at the par-3 15th took an unfortunate bounce and rolled into the sand, causing the Aussie to concede another hole. Ganne tied it up on the par-4 17th, where Scaysbrook fanned her approach off the side of the cliff. Both competitors traded bogeys at the par-5 closing hole to send the match to the par-4 10th again.

(Darren Carroll/USGA) Darren Carroll/USGA Museum Up ahead, Biermann and Louderbaugh were putting the finishing touches on their instant classic. Biermann led 3 up with four holes to play before Louderbaugh made par from the carry bunker at the short, par-4 16th, and then rolled in birdie putts of 15 and 25 feet, respectively, on the last two holes. But Louderbaugh's second shot into the shallow 10th green went long, and after she failed to make her par, she conceded the match. 'Coming down the stretch, she threw everything she had, which was great golf, and with that, you just have to stay calm,' said Biermann, who has now played three matches that have surpassed 18 holes. Biermann's extended run comes after she'd failed to make the cut in her five previous USGA championships. 'I told my dad, I just need to get over that hurdle, and the hurdle was the cut,' Biermann said. 'I know myself. I've played in several match play events, and I've gotten to the semifinals multiple times (most recently at the Women's Western Amateur last month). I love match play. Like that's where the fun begins. So, I believe that I could do this.' Once the first match wrapped, that paved the way for Ganne to eliminate Scaysbrook, who sailed her approach even longer than Louderbaugh on No. 10. Ganne didn't even have to stroke her birdie putt before the curtain fell on Scaysbrook. 'All you need to do is just go hit good shots and something will happen for you if it's meant to be,' Ganne said. 'Today was meant to be.' All that's left to play out now is Sunday's final act: History for Ganne, or tragedy?

Why 'White Lotus' creator Mike White is returning to 'Survivor'
When "Survivor" host Jeff Probst decided to bring back contestant Mike White for the reality competition's 50th season, he knew White would be showing his hand. White, a one-time participant on the show, has since become the famed mastermind behind "White Lotus," the popular resort-based drama on HBO. "The thing that's most interesting about Mike playing for the second time is there is no hiding that he is the biggest writer, director, show creator in the world right now, and he wanted to come back and play 'Survivor,'" Probst told the Hollywood Reporter in an interview published Aug. 7. "So I can understand why people had a reaction." 'White Lotus' creator Mike White's next tropical island is return to 'Survivor' The long-running competition show features a group of "castaways" facing off in challenges on a remote island for the chance to take home $1 million. Among the first crop of reality shows to make it big when the format burst onto the scene in the early 2000s, it requires a mix of physical strength and personal cunning to forge alliances and read other contestants. While Probst, the show's longtime host, acknowledges the oddity of an Emmy-winning director opting to return to the dusty isles of survivordom, he thinks people aren't asking the right questions. "I'm surprised people aren't asking, 'Why is one of the greatest writers in the history of Hollywood so interested in 'Survivor?'" he told THR. "What is it that Mike is learning about humans and behavior and situational ethics that he applies to his craft? Because I think that's part of why he does it — he's out there in a real incubator of human behavior where you never know what's going to happen, but what you do know is that if you show up to play 'Survivor', you can study it." 'Survivor' Season 50 cast: Which returning players are playing for $1 million? White first appeared on the "Survivor's" 37th season in 2018, landing in the runner-up spot and gaining a cult popularity among the show's fanbase along the way. His biggest hit, "White Lotus," which channels the darker side of the human spirit and the downfalls of excess, works in tandem with his experience on the show. "When you watch 'White Lotus,' what are you watching? You're watching human behavior all day," Probst continued. "I think that's part of the reason Mike is back, and if you don't understand that, maybe you're asking the wrong question." White, a celebrated screenwriter, also penned and starred in "School of Rock" and "Chuck & Buck." "He wanted to come back and step away from his Hollywood career for a moment and play this game that he loves to see how it will go," Probst added, explaining that he thinks White is interested to see how his own newfound fame will factor into his standing among fellow contestants. "He's arguably the single best storyteller we've ever had on 'Survivor,'" he told THR. "I'm grateful to consider him a friend, because I learn from Mike every day. You're talking (about) one of the best of all time, and the fact that he said yes to 'Survivor' still brings a smile on my face.' When is 'Survivor' Season 50 airing? No official premiere date has been released, but the show's 50th season is expected to begin airing on CBS in spring 2026.

Tom Hanks pays tribute to Apollo 13 commander Jim Lovell
"God speed you, on this next voyage, Jim Lovell.' 0:39 Tom Hanks took to Instagram to remember Jim Lovell, the astronaut he portrayed in the 1995 Ron Howard–directed film "Apollo 13." Lovell, best known for commanding the near-disastrous Apollo 13 mission, died Thursday, Aug. 7, at age 97. In a statement posted to Instagram, the Oscar-winning actor reflected on Lovell's extraordinary life. "There are people who dare, who dream, and who lead others to the places we would not go on our own," Hanks wrote. "Jim Lovell, who for a long while had gone farther into space and for longer than any other person of our planet, was that kind of guy." Hanks praised Lovell's dedication to exploration, noting that his missions were not motivated by fame or fortune but by "the challenges that fuel the course of being alive." The actor closed his tribute with a nod to the timing of Lovell's passing: "On this night of a full moon, he passes on -- to the heavens, to the cosmos, to the stars. God speed you, on this next voyage, Jim Lovell." Howard also praised the late astronaut, saying "simply knowing" the astronaut was an honor. Sharing archival images and side-by-side comparisons from the film, the filmmaker called Lovell "one of the most remarkable individuals I've ever met." "His combination of intellect, courage and commitment to duty made him extraordinary," Howard wrote. "His support of our movie-making efforts inspired authenticity and elevated our process in so many ways. Thank you, sir, for your service to our country and to humankind." Lovell's career spanned decades of groundbreaking achievements in space exploration, including flights on Gemini 7, Gemini 12, Apollo 8 -- the first mission to orbit the moon --and Apollo 13.
