USA Today16-07-2025
The 153rd Open Championship is less than 24 hours from teeing off, and a key question is what weather challenges the world's top golfers will encounter at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. Royal Portrush is notorious for its unpredictable weather, featuring frequent rain and strong winds, which can potentially influence who ultimately wins the Claret Jug.
On Wednesday, prior to the first round, participants experienced a mix of clouds and sunshine, with light wind gusts ranging from five to ten mph. The high temperature was 67 degrees, while the low dropped to 57 degrees. The first round is expected to bring less favorable weather, with periods of rain and winds reaching 10 to 20 mph. There is a 90% chance of rain, with potential rainfall totaling up to a quarter of an inch.

3M Open cut line tracker: Who's in danger of missing the weekend at TPC Twin Cities?

The 3M Open doesn't have the big-name roster that last week's British Open did, but it does have a field of 156 PGA Tour pros fighting for a payday. There's also a long list of golfers near the 70th spot in the FedEx Cup Playoffs standings. That's an important number this year as only the top 70 advance. A year ago, it was 100. But before any of that can be figured out, a cut will be made at TPC Twin Cities in Blaine, Minnesota. Follow along here for a live cut line tracker for the 3M Open. What is the cut at the 2025 3M Open? PGA Tour events have a cut for the low 65 golfers and ties after 36 holes. A year ago, the 3M Open cut came in at 2 under. What is the prize money at the 2025 3M Open? The total purse is $8.4 million and the winner will take home $1.512 million as well as 300 FedEx Cup points and a two-year PGA Tour exemption.

Culling of infected cows leads to shortened 19th stage of Tour de France

LA PLAGNE, France (AP) — The 19th stage of the Tour de France was shortened on Friday after cows infected by a contagious disease were culled in an area along the mountainous route. The stage from Albertville to La Plagne was meant to be 129.9 kilometers (80.5 miles) long but trimmed to 93.1 kilometers (57.7 miles), according to the official Tour website's stage map on Friday. Two of the five climbs were removed, including the 13.7 kilometer Col des Saisies — where an outbreak of nodular dermatitis affected a herd of cows, race organizer ASO said. 'The discovery of an outbreak of contagious nodular dermatitis (lumpy skin) affecting cattle in a herd located specifically in the Col des Saisies necessitated the culling of the animals,' ASO said in a statement. 'Given the consternation of the breeders concerned, and in order to maintain the calm of the race, it was decided, in agreement with the authorities, to modify the route of the 19th stage and not to cross the Col des Saisies.' The start time of the stage was pushed back by one hour to 2:30 p.m. local time (1230 GMT), with an expected finishing time of around 5:30 p.m. Three-time Tour de France champion Tadej Pogačar of Slovenia led overall heading into the stage, with two-time champion Jonas Vingegaard of Denmark 4 minutes, 26 seconds behind him in second place. Stage 19 represented Vingegaard's last realistic chance of overtaking Pogačar and taking the yellow jersey, with the race finishing on Sunday. Vingegaard and his Visma–Lease a Bike team had not been able to take time off Pogačar in this year's mountain stages. ___ More Tour de France coverage: and The Associated Press
