It’s an unfortunate break for Horschel, who improved to No. 26 in the FedExCup on the strength of his career-best finish in a major. He flew from Scotland to Minnesota to prepare, but he said that he began to feel unwell Wednesday and woke up before the first round with a fever and muscle tightness.

I don’t know about you but summer is definitely my favorite season and I am definitely a sun worshipper. Living in the Pacific Northwest, we do not see enough of it so when it is here, that is where you will find me. Everything I do I do outside when the sun is out and the weather is warm.

History Facts lists eight names US parents no longer give their newborns, which you may no longer hear in Virginia. The girls' names are Doris, Gertrude, Mildred, and Judith.

We’ll get to the obvious elephant in the room at the end of the article. It’s been a long, long time without League One football to keep us entertained. Well, not as long as last summer’s 20-year wait due to how we finished the 2022/23 season, but three months between the end of one season and the start of the next one is always a long stretch. Even with Euros football to keep us entertained, it really does almost feel like a lifetime ago when we last saw the Royals kick a competitive ball in action.
