Potty for Paddy: Bathroom break slows Harrington, who still leads Senior PGA

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:25:19 GMT

FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Padraig Harrington was in perfect position in the 16th fairway, with a great chance to set the 54-hole scoring record for a comfortable lead at the Senior PGA Championship on Saturday.Then the 51-year-old Irishman had to go to the bathroom.Paddy found the port-a-potty, had trouble with the door, rushed to his next shot and ended up in a native area that led to a double-bogey.“As we are on the Champions tour, I had the longest pee ever,” Harrington said. “And then I kind of rushed down the fairway and hit my shot. I just wasn’t focused, I wasn’t into it and I hit a bad shot in the hazard. That’s my excuse. That’s got to be original, I would assume.”Well, at least he still has the lead in what will be a tight final-round matchup of opposing Ryder Cup captains from 2021. Steve Stricker, the hottest PGA Tour Champions player by far and leader of the U.S. rout over Harrington’s crew at Whistling Straits, is one shot back after matching Harrington...

Lionel Messi helps PSG secure record 11th French league title, breaks European scoring record

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:25:19 GMT

Lionel Messi helped Paris Saint-Germain clinch a record 11th French league title on Saturday, and broke another scoring record in the process. Messi scored the opening goal as PSG drew 1-1 at Strasbourg to move four points clear of second-place Lens with one game left.Messi put PSG ahead from Kylian Mbappe’s pass in the 59th minute. Former PSG striker Kevin Gameiro equalized for Strasbourg in the 79th. It was Messi’s 496th career league goal in Europe, breaking Cristiano Ronaldo’s scoring record for Europe’s top five leagues. It could also be his last, as the Argentina star is widely expected to leave PSG at the end of the season and has been linked with a possible move to Saudi Arabia or MLS. Lens secured second place and automatic entry into next season’s Champions League by beating relegated Ajaccio 3-0 at home, with Belgium forward Loïs Openda reaching 20 league goals in his first season at the club.Defending champion PSG overtook former French powe...

It’s a weekend of faith and joy for thousands of people who’ve travelled from nearly 30 states to gather at the headquarters of their beloved church: the United House of Prayer for All People.More than 15 brightly uniformed marching bands stepped off in front of the sprawling church at 6th and M Street NW, nicknamed “God’s White House.”National Bishop C.M.

Ver más artículos como este en CNNe.com/opinion.(CNN) — “La Sirenita” de Disney de 1989 fue a la vez una obra maestra de la marca y una versión algo vergonzosa de un cuento muy oscuro de Hans Christian Anderson.La historia de una sirena que renuncia a su voz para estar con el hombre de sus sueños, encaja perfectamente en el canon de Disney de mujeres adolescentes valientes y curiosas, cuyo coraje y curiosidad en su mayoría terminan llevándolas a un matrimonio temprano. Pero también es muy divertido, con una deslumbrante partitura de Howard Ashman/Alan Menken, una villana icónica en Ursula cuyo aspecto se inspiró en la drag queen Divine y una secuencia hilarantemente amenazante sobre cocinar pescado.Disney tuvo décadas para pensar en cómo actualizar “La Sirenita” para las nuevas generaciones de espectadores.

Biden, McCarthy speak on debt crisis, one GOP negotiator says ‘thorny issues’ remain

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy spoke directly Saturday evening as they raced to strike an agreement that would resolve the looming debt crisis ahead of a June 5 deadline and avert a catastrophic U.S. default.Biden also spoke earlier in the day with Democratic leaders in Congress to discuss the status of the talks, according to three people familiar with the situation, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. But the two sides have not reached a deal yet.“Big, thorny issues remain,” one of the top negotiators, Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., told reporters in the evening.Some of those outstanding issues he said “the president and speaker have to resolve at that level.”The Republican House speaker gathered top allies behind closed doors at the Capitol as negotiators pushed for a deal that would raise the nation’s borrowing limit and avoid a first-ever default on the federa...

American ‘stolen’ as a baby finds family in Chile

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:25:19 GMT

(CNN) — Scott Lieberman, an American who lives in San Francisco, always knew that he was adopted from Chile. What he did not know was that he had been stolen as an infant.“I lived 42 years of my life without knowing that I was stolen, not knowing what was happening down in Chile during the 70s and 80s and I just, I want people to know… There are families out there that can still be reunited,” Lieberman said.During the dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet (1973-90), many babies were funneled to adoption agencies. Some of the children came from rich families, taken or given up to protect reputations. Other babies from poorer backgrounds were simply stolen – as it appears was the case with Lieberman.In the last decade, CNN has documented multiple cases of Chilean babies who were stolen at birth. Authorities in the country say priests, nuns, doctors, nurses and others conspired to carry out illegal adoptions, with the main motive being profit.Chilean officials say the number of...
