Power Rankings for the Top 30 PGA Tour players at the competitive FedEx Cup

“I’m just glad Scottie [Scheffler] was able to hold on at the end,” U.S. Presidents Cup captain Jim Furyk joked Monday. Scheffler, the world No. 1 and the favorite to win this year’s PGA Tour player of the year award, locked up his spot on the U.S. team months ago. But Furyk knows the waiting for automatic qualifying to end, which it did Sunday with the top 6 in U.S. points earning a spot on his team, was the easy part. Now comes the challenging part.

When I learned the brown tarantula is also native to Missouri, I gasped, and when I say I'm not too fond of spiders of any genus is an understatement. It's psychological. They have too many legs.

ATLANTA, Ga. — The United States Presidents Cup team is half-complete. Last week’s BMW Championship locked in the top six qualifiers for both the U.S. and International teams. After this week’s Tour Championship they’ll sort out the other six. We’re used to team selection being a challenging process with no perfect answers — there was a Netflix episode on this very subject a year ago — but given everything else going on in the golf world, this year’s Presidents Cup selection has flown slightly under the radar.

Don Hall is an avid snowmobiler, but instead of heading for the hills each winter in search of deep powder, he takes an older snowmachine to lower elevations nearer the snow line. There’s a reason the Riverton resident prefers the lower zones despite the rocks, fences and sage most riders avoid: That’s where the coyotes are.

Wyoming allows snowmobilers to run down wildlife. Despite global outrage, it may stay legal.

WHITE MOUNTAIN—“That’s a lot of horses,” lamented Cheyenne resident Robyn Smith from a high-desert ridgeline.

This year’s area of low oxygen in the Gulf of Mexico is larger than average, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on Thursday. The “dead zone” is approximately 6,705 square miles , as measured last week. Within NOAA’s 38 years of measuring the dead zone, this year’s assessment marks the 12th-largest area of low to no oxygen, which can kill fish and marine life.
