In Thursday’s British Open first round, Bryson DeChambeau and Rory McIlroy were in survival mode all day and both are in jeopardy of missing the cut at Royal Troon.

McIlroy, who last won a major in 2014, shot a 7-over 77 and trails first-round leader Daniel Brown by 13 strokes, finished the day tied for 129th place among the 158 players in the field.

Just look at that beautiful pup! Lima is an adorable 5-month-old Husky who is smart, friendly, and a total sweetheart. It’s hard to believe this sweet girl was brought to FAAS after being abandoned in a grocery store parking lot, tied to a pole with an electrical cord used as a leash. She was just a few months old.

(MA) Meet Winks, an adorable and incredibly strong puppy with a heartbreaking origin. Winks was found unmoving on the side of a road with severe injuries. He had several very infected wounds and was barely holding on when his rescuers rushed him to the vet. Once there, x-rays revealed the horrifying truth that Winks had been shot numerous times around his face and neck. These injuries resulted in him having his eye removed. Despite that, Winks has made a miraculous and full recovery. He certainly does not let his handicap slow him down at his new foster home. Winks was truly given a second chance at life, and now all he needs is a family to call his own.
