TROON, Scotland — Justin Thomas almost got in the house before the heavy stuff started coming down Saturday at the British Open. Early in his third round, he took advantage of dry, calm conditions at Royal Troon to play the front nine in five-under 31. For the record, that was 14 shots lower than how he played the front nine on Friday and two shots better than his impressive start on the outward holes Thursday.

At this point, if you throw a rock near a golf course, you’re going to hit a Dan Brown. The surprise major contender is keeping the namesake on the front pages with his stellar play at Royal Troon, but it looks like he’s not the only Brown to keep things interesting on the course.

Homemade chocolate fudge may be one of life's most nostalgic foods. For me, it brings to mind the "individually-wrapped in cellophane" fudge squares that a classmate's mom some times brought to my elementary school classroom to share with all of us for a Halloween or Christmas party. The flavor was about as appetizing as the sentence describing it. And, it was rock hard.
