This moment was similar in a lot of ways. At the same time, it was noticeably different. Rianne Malixi and Asterisk Talley were facing each other in the U.S. Women’s Amateur final at Southern Hills in Tulsa, Okla., as they had just contended in the U.S. Girls' Junior final less than a month prior. In that tournament, Malixi won handily, 8 and 7. This tournament was similar, undoubtedly, being another USGA championship final, but it was the U.S. Women’s Amateur. It was bigger.

Gov. Ron DeSantis has issued a state of emergency in Northeast Florida and across much of the state as a tropical system appears almost certain to develop. The National Hurricane Center said Friday morning that a tropical wave has a 90% chance of developing into at least a tropical depression over the next seven days. Most models show it moving into the Gulf of Mexico and then coming ashore and crossing the state, possibly moving over Northeast Florida.
