Birdie: Lee Westwood. This is right around the time when we’d mention Westwood’s shortcomings in majors. His 67 starts without a win is the most among active players. The difference is Westwood has had such a dreadful summer — missing the cut in both the U.S. and British Opens — it didn’t seem relevant. Well, now it is. After a closing 63 Sunday in the Bridgestone Invitational, Westwood carried the momentum into Thursday with an opening 65, matching his best-ever score in a major....

Game Rant spoke to OverBorder Studio about the upcoming release of Thymesia, and what its sources of inspiration were. Furthermore, because Thymesia is designed to be a PC game, OverBorder Studio also shared its thoughts on controller support and future plans regarding console ports. Interview has been edited for brevity and clarity. RELATED: How Thymesia Challenges the Status Quo of Souls-like Games Q: What is the story behind how Thymesia came to be?...

The HiFi tier offers high quality audio streams better than those on the regular tiers of rivals Spotify or Apple Music. If you own a Dolby Atmos supported TV, soundbar or home theatre speaker system you can now stream Dolby Atmos certified music playback through it when streaming using one of an Apple TV 4K, Fire TV Stick 4K, Fire TV Cube, Fire TV Stick (2nd gen), Fire TV (3rd gen), and Nvidia Shield TV or Nvidia Shield TV Pro (2019 or newer models)....

The woman told police using the voice-activated device that she was tied up and needed help. Officers found the woman inside the home still tied up when they arrived at the scene. She was then cut free and sent to hospital for treatment. Police suspect that the woman’s 46-year-old boyfriend Andrew Beitel tied her up before assaulting with a baseball bat. The woman suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries as a result of the attack....

The wonderkid debuted at Anderlecht at just 16, and is widely considered one of the brightest prospects in the game. Monaco 11/10 to beat Porto Both Monaco and Arsenal showed interest in him this summer, but he decided on last season’s Champions League semi-finalists as they rebuild following some key departures. According to Tielemans, the chance to shine in Ligue 1 was too good to turn down, regardless of overtures from Arsene Wenger’s side....

Ferrari, Mercedes, and Red Bull are clearly the top three teams this season which is least worried about the competition from the rest of the seven teams. While the midfield teams like Haas, Renault, Force India, Mclaren, Williams, Sauber and Toro Rosso are in the league of their own and have clearly lacked the pace to match the front runners during any of the Grand Prix so far. Force India’s Sergio Perez is the only driver outside the top 3 teams to have scored a podium so far this year....

Tiger’s bid for a record 83rd PGA Tour win and another Wanamaker Trophy is all but over after another 2-over-par 72 on Saturday at TPC Harding Park in San Francisco. He’ll wear red as usual on Sunday, but he’ll be working hard just to get into red numbers for the tournament. Woods’ Thursday struggles to find the fairway largely disappeared Friday, only to be replaced by abysmal putting. The combined distance of his putts in Round 2 was 49 feet, compared to over 100 feet in Round 1....

Those are the generally agreed facts. Global warming is now a reality that even die-hard skeptics struggle to dispute. The authoritative Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicts temperatures will rise 4 degrees Celsius or more by the end of the century. Clearly, prompt action to limit CO2 emissions is needed. But it’s just as clear that, whatever we do, temperatures will continue to climb—and that even a modest increase will tilt the world’s economic and political balance....

The 29-year-old defensive back, who will make $8.5million this season, asked Seattle in an Instagram post to either sign him to an extension or trade him. “Always been the underdog ain’t nothing new,” Thomas’ post read in part. “Extend…..if you don’t want me let’s make a trade happen.” Thomas skipped the Seahawks minicamp in June. He said on Twitter at the time he would not be attending any team activities until his “contract situation is resolved”....

Thompson homered with two out in the ninth, and Chicago stopped a four-game slide by topping the Minnesota Twins 6-5 on Thursday night. The 27-year-old Thompson connected against former White Sox reliever Addison Reed (0-2), driving a 3-1 pitch 403 feet to left. It was his third homer in 43 at-bats this season and third game-ending shot of his career. Thompson was drafted by Chicago and broke into the majors with the White Sox in 2015....

RELATED: MCU: Things You Might Have Missed In The Thor: Love & Thunder Teaser Given Natalie Portman’s smaller role in the MCU up until now, this story might seem to come out of nowhere for longtime Marvel movie fans. On the contrary, Marvel diehards know that this passing of the Thor mantle has its origins in the comic books. These facts about Jane Foster may surprise those who have only watched the movies....

Environmentalists welcomed the decision, which they saw as an admission by the Bush administration of the existence of global warming. But the listing as “threatened” falls short of what wildlife protection groups had hoped for; the designation “endangered” would have brought more substantial protection measures. Plus, since a “threatened” listing doesn’t require the federal government to actively patrol people or industries harming Arctic territories, all challenges contesting how, or even if, the polar bear is being protected will have to navigate the legal system....

The bowlers around the world will play a crucial role for their team to win the championships. We have seen India performing well in the recent past because of their bowling department delivering in every Test match. Similarly, Australia and England have been a formidable force in the longer format because of their bowling line-up. But teams like Sri Lanka and Pakistan have found it difficult to perform consistently due to injuries and early retirements....

Golden State pulled off the biggest shocker of the free-agency period by reportedly signing DeMarcus Cousins to a one-year, $5.3 million deal. The amount of talent on the roster is just silly with the Warriors now capable of starting five All-Star players: Cousins, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Kevin Durant and Draymond Green. MORE: NBA free agent tracker — See who goes where So here’s the big question: How did the Warriors pull off this heist?...

As spotted by Pure Xbox, three games have recently joined the “leaving soon” tab over on the Xbox Game Pass website, meaning they’ll disappear from the service in the next two weeks. The games in question are Deliver Us the Moon, Gato Roboto, and Wargroove. RELATED: First-Party PlayStation Game MLB The Show 21 Launching on Xbox Game Pass Deliver Us the Moon is likely the biggest of the bunch, although the sci-fi thriller is a short experience, so those wanting to reach its credits before it’s officially removed from Game Pass shouldn’t have too much trouble....

The Cavs and Warriors face off again Wednesday night, but this contest won’t be widely watched or endlessly dissected after the buzzer. ESPN elected to televise the 76ers-Raptors and Spurs-Lakers games instead, pushing the Finals rematch to League Pass. If that doesn’t tell you this rivalry is definitively dead, then just take a look at the overall records for each side.

On paper, the festival–three new operas in three nights–looked like a suicide mission. In fact, it was a logistical triumph and an imaginative if artistically uneven party. The fare was diverse even for a company that has always offset traditional repertoire with the offbeat. Lukas Foss’s impish “Griffelkin” is loosely based on a German fairy tale; “Marilyn” takes off on a true, grim American fairy tale, and Hugo Weisgall’s “Esther” is a setting of the Old Testament story....

Eliah Drinkwitz’s squad had the game in hand on not one, not two but three separate occasions — once at the end of regulation, and twice in overtime. Each time, Missouri had the worst possible outcome. Of course, Missouri had to overcome a 14-0 first-quarter deficit, which the Tigers were able to do with short-yard runs from Cody Schrader and Brady Cook, both in the first quarter. Where the offense stymied in the second half, the defense stood up: It limited Auburn to just 97 yards in the second half, including six punts and a turnover on downs....

On the opening day of the Freestyle bouts, four of the five Indians reached the medal round with Karan winning the bronze in the 65kg category. Hussain Nasir, the fifth Indian in action today, could not reach the medal round. After Naveen (57kg) and Vishal (70kg) lost their gold medal bouts, the hosts hoped Sachin would end the wait for a gold but he lost the final in just one minute and 12 seconds....

Last month, after better than 4,000 gigs on the stand-up circuit, she brought this raw, Southern-fried act to prime time as Grace Kelly, heroine of the ABC sitcom “Grace Under Fire.” Grace is more than a little like Brett. In fact, she is Brett: divorced from a man she says beat her, and lethal with her tongue. “Mister Right Hook,” she says of her ex, “once moved his entire family to another state, just so he could buy beer on Sundays....
