How to win the Rogers Charity Classic: Tips from past champions
Article content We've asked a few recent past winners — defending king Ken Tanigawa and 2023 champ Ken Duke — and the man in charge of the course, head golf professional Matt Freeman, to help us break down a path to success. Article content While the close-to-consensus answer isn't the only way to victory, it's certainly a recipe followed by many of the PGA Tour Champions stars in their push to be crowned with the white Stetson after the 13th edition of the Calgary-hosted high-profile golf event. Article content Article content Article content 'I've never seen it this lush,' Tanigawa said of the private course in southwest Calgary. 'You know, this is my eighth season out here and I've played here every year I've been eligible, so I've never seen it this green, and I've never seen the rough as healthy as it's been. I can't recall that. Article content 'It's just an older, traditional course, right? It's just tree-lined. The greens are fantastic. The contours aren't crazy and they roll beautifully. I think a lot of courses now, they try too hard. There's so much movement on the green, and it's really unnecessary, and they get really big, as well. Article content Article content 'So it's just nice to see a course that doesn't kill you with length or kill you with massive slopes or undulations,' Tanigawa added. 'It's just a fun course to play. You know, easy on the eyes and nothing too drastic or crazy about it.' Article content Article content No. 2: Par 4, 442 yards Article content Duke: 'No. 2 is a little sneaky hole.

Woman arrested for locking naked partner out on freezing balcony before he died of hypothermia
A 54-year-old Japanese woman has been arrested for allegedly locking her naked partner out on the balcony overnight, leading to his death three years ago. The woman, identified by local media as Miho Tsumura from Isahaya, was arrested on suspicion of assault and lethal confinement, police in the Nagasaki region said. The reason for the delayed arrest was not immediately clear. The woman forced the victim onto their balcony without his clothes in February 2022 and prevented him from getting back in, a local official, Masafumi Tanigawa, said. She ordered the victim, her common-law spouse, to get out on a balcony while he was naked and 'confined him there'. The next day, police responded to an emergency call and discovered the 49-year-old man 'nearly dead' in a room, Mr Tanigawa said. According to prefectural police, Ms Tsumura called the emergency line at around 6.25am on 7 February 2022, reporting that the man was unresponsive. When police arrived, they found him lying dead in a room, completely naked. Police say the victim had been forced to spend the night on the balcony of the woman's second-floor apartment in Hasami on the night of 6-7 February 2022. He succumbed to hypothermia as temperatures dropped to 3.7C in Sasebo, a nearby city, according to data from the Japan Meteorological Agency. Police said on Friday that the woman had previously attacked her partner with a knife, causing injuries that took two weeks to heal. An autopsy revealed a cut wound on the man's nose. Prefectural police were investigating whether the suspect had subjected the victim to ongoing violence. The woman denies the charges. 'I have done nothing,' Mr Tanigawa quoted her as saying.

Woman held over death of man who was locked out naked on balcony
A woman in Japan was arrested for allegedly locking her naked partner on their balcony for the night, leading to his death from the cold, police said Friday. The 54-year-old was arrested on charges of assault and lethal confinement, police in southern Japan's Nagasaki region told the AFP news agency. In February 2022, the woman "ordered the victim to get out on a balcony while he was naked, and confined him there," local official Masafumi Tanigawa said. The next day police rushed to the scene after an emergency call, and the 49-year-old was found "nearly dead" in a room, Tanigawa said, adding he later died of hypothermia. The temperature that night dropped to a low of 3.7 Celsius (38.66 Fahrenheit), the Mainichi daily reported. The woman had earlier attacked her partner, who was her common-law husband, with a knife, leaving him with nose injuries that took two weeks to heal. An autopsy revealed a cut wound on the man's nose, and police are investigating the possibility that the man was a victim of daily domestic violence, the Mainichi reported. The woman denies the charges, telling police that "I've done nothing," Tanigawa quoted her as saying. Police did not say why it had taken so long to formally charge her. Last year, about one in four spouses in Japan reported experiencing physical abuse from their partners, the Japan Times reported, citing government statistics. Among those who said they were physically abused by their spouses, 12.6% reported that they felt that their lives were in danger, the survey showed.
