On an extremely windy afternoon in Austin, American Johnson beat German Martin Kaymer 3&2 at Austin Country Club. “Putting is the hardest part,” Johnson told Golf Channel after improving to 2-0-0 overall. “It’s very breezy and then really gusty at times.” McIlroy, after losing to Dane Soren Kjeldsen on Wednesday, won on Thursday when his scheduled opponent Gary Woodland withdrew, citing personal family reasons. Even with that walkover, however, McIlroy still needed Kjeldsen to lose his second match to have any chance of advancing out of the round-robin group stage....

Seeking his first grand slam crown, Johnson played clutch golf under intense pressure on a brutally difficult layout at Oakmont Country Club. Having negotiated the final seven holes under notice that he might be penalised for a rules infraction on the fifth green, despite being cleared by another official at the time, he was docked a shot after the round’s completion, with his score amended to a closing 69 for a four-under winning total of 276....

South Africa's Hennie Otto surged into fourth with a 65, another stroke behind on 13 under.

"It was a bit up and down but I think I did what I needed to do," the South African said....

SOUTHPORT, England (Reuters) - Henrik Stenson is known as “The Iceman”, and a year on from landing his first major title after an epic British Open duel with Phil Mickelson, the Swede was his usual laid-back self on Tuesday. Two days before the start of his title defence at Royal Birkdale, Stenson said he had mixed feelings about the pressures of being the champion. “I never felt it was a big problem not having won one, even though I badly wanted to win one,” he told reporters....

Alvarez, after his win over Amir Khan in May and with Golovkin in the ring, said they would fight. Well, Alvarez made a U-turn and agreed to fight Golovkin next September. After WBO middleweight champion Billie Joe Saunders and middleweight fighter Chris Eubank, Jr. decided they wanted more than they were worth, IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook stepped up to the plate. Brook had his moments in the fight and even rocked Golovkin on a couple occasions, Golovkin didn’t look his best, but showed the heart of a champion to defeat Brook by fifth-round TKO to run his knockout streak to 23 fights....

A report from Polygon describes how Gaynor’s leadership style was described by multiple ex-Fullbright employees as “controlling” and that women in particular felt “undermined” and “demeaned” by Gaynor. More specifically, women at Fullbright explained that they experienced “constant micromanagement” and that Gaynor would “discredit the contributions” they made to other employees. One former employee described it as “working for a high school mean girl,” saying that Gaynor would frequently “laugh at people’s opinions and embarrass them....

Forget my disastrous performance in the Sweet 16. And who can even remember what my bracket looked like? (OK, it’s on the Internet, so if you need a good chuckle go ahead). Since the tournament advanced to the Elite Eight, though, I’ve gone 5-1 selecting the winners. Does that make me smart? No, but it makes me look less dumb than went I went .500 in the Sweet 16....

These are remarkable achievements for a smallish private Jesuit university in a relatively remote part of the country, and they frustrate college basketball fans at multiple levels. Fans of programs in mid-major leagues wonder why they can’t outgrow their regular competition in the way the Zags have. Fans of big-time programs gripe that Gonzaga can earn high NCAA Tournament seeds while playing lesser competition in the West Coast Conference....

The company just unveiled a service called Chrome OS Flex, a software suite that transforms old Macs and PCs into Chromebooks, as announced in an official Google blog post. If this sounds familiar, Chrome OS Flex is a rebrand of CloudReady, a Chromium-based operating system that Google purchased in December 2020. CloudReady’s original purpose was to extend the life of old PCs that were no longer receiving official updates.

How Does the Current AR Work? The current AR is designed in such a way that it only utilizes information from a single camera on your phone. Despite having multiple cameras, the SDK only relies on information given by a single camera. This sometimes causes issues with the AR visuals. If you have used Google Search to play around with AR elements, you’ve probably noticed that your elements sometimes don’t show up the way they should....

In its blog post about the updates, Google said that the new feature is meant to minimize these hard-braking moments that can increase the likelihood of a car crash. To calculate these safer routes, Google said Maps identifies multiple route options to your destination based on factors like how many lanes a road has and how direct a route is....

The product is simply called Pixel Buds, perhaps as Google tries to erase the identically named first-gen version from history. We reviewed them, and they were absolutely terrible. The new version, which is still not on sale in the UK, makes the design true wireless with no fabric cord linking the buds like the first time round. The case is smaller and much more robust, but the basic circular design of the buds with the touch controls on the outside remains similar....
