Two-time major champion Collin Morikawa has contentious conversation with reporter: 'Don't put me down'
Two-time major champion Collin Morikawa had a contentious conversation with a reporter during a press conference prior to the Rocket Classic on Wednesday. Morikawa, 28, took issue with a quote that Golfweek reporter Adam Schupak put in his story about Morikawa's recent caddie change. Schupak wrote a story covering Morikawa's caddie change, and said it was unclear who Morikawa would have as his caddie permanently going forward. Schupak included this quote from Morikawa in the story. "Ask me anything you want in my press conference later. I'm with my pro-am partners now," was the quote Schupak used from Morikawa in his story. When Schupak asked Morikawa at the press conference about who will caddie for him at the British Open, the golfer used the question to take issue with Schupak's use of his quote in the story. "I don't. And I read your article that you wrote. Look, I'm not here to tell people how to do their jobs, but I don't get why you would make me sound bad because you put out my quote that I was playing with pro-am partners out front," Morikawa said. "Those guys are paying a lot of money, they're very important to the community, they're very important to the Rocket Classic, and for you to put out a quote like that to put me down and saying, 'Hey, wait two and a half hours.' I mean, you called me up on the first tee, you know?" "I'm not going to tell you how to do your job; you can write whatever you want. This is America. But don't put me down like that because it's two and a half hours, Adam." Schupak said he thought he was giving Morikawa credit because he noted that Morikawa was focused on his pro-am partners. However, Morikawa told Schupak that that's not how he read it. "OK, we can all read it very differently. That's not how I read it," Morikawa said. "But I'm just telling you, I think there's a perspective where people can read it like that. So, I'm just going to leave it at that. We knew I was going to have media in two and a half hours. I'm on the first tee meeting my pro-am partners as they're teeing off." After Morikawa commented at the press conference, Schupak deleted Morikawa's original quote and updated the story with a new quote. It is not the first time Morikawa has ruffled feathers with the media this season, as his comments at The Masters made waves. Morikawa is currently tied for 35th at the Rocket Classic at the Detroit Golf Club as three-under par for the day. At the time of this writing, Min Woo Lee was leading the tournament after he shot nine-under par in the first round.

Jake Tapper Applauds
Now that's he's completed the journey from defender of Joe Biden's mental capability to acknowledger of Joe Biden's mental infirmity, CNN's Jake Tapper seems happy to serve as a gracious guest when media colleagues provide a friendly welcome on his book tour. Mr. Tapper, co-author of 'Original Sin,' can be most useful to his hosts by pretending that they were early and brave in reporting Mr. Biden's cognitive challenges. This week Mr. Tapper shows up on Ezra Klein's podcast at the New York Times, and let no one accuse Mr. Tapper of being ungrateful. The two were discussing President Joe Biden's disastrous 2024 press conference in which Mr. Biden angrily and inaccurately responded to Justice Department Special Counsel Robert Hur. Mr. Hur had just completed a report detailing clear evidence of violations of law but concluded that Mr. Biden was too forgetful to prosecute.

Journalists given wrong steer about Keir Starmer's tariff briefing
Sir Keir Starmer wanted to shout the news of his trade deal with the US from the rooftops — unfortunately, he'd sent all the microphones to the wrong place. Keen to celebrate this foreign policy coup, No 10 organised a press conference at a Jaguar Land Rover plant in Solihull, with the lobby required by 2.45pm. None had arrived by 2.30pm and they soon realised that their email had actually sent the nation's press to the JLR in Coventry. Reporters such as BBC political editor Chris Mason were already set up in the car park at the latter address and hastily found ways of getting to Birmingham. 'I think the PM should pick up our taxi fares,' said one famous journo. Another hack said: 'I

New US-UK trade deal expected to be announced by Donald Trump
Reports indicate that Donald Trump is poised to announce a trade deal between the US and the UK. Trump hinted at a "major trade deal" on Truth Social, with a press conference anticipated. The UK government has been actively seeking a deal to mitigate the impact of tariffs imposed by Trump last month. These tariffs included a 10 per cent levy on all UK exports and 25 per cent on steel, aluminum, and cars. This would be the first trade agreement since the tariffs were implemented on April 2.
