The seven-time PGA Tour champion, who claimed last year’s title after carding an impressive 21 under, withdrew from the event after his second round, the Tour announced Friday. Koepka, who last won at the WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational in July, was even par through his first two rounds at Nine Bridges, located on Jeju Island in South Korea. It is unclear how serious Koepka’s injury is or when he will be back on the course....
Joseph announced his intentions in an interview with The Washington Post, and the Associated Press confirmed the news with another Haitian official. Joseph was serving as the interim prime minister when Haitian President Jovenel Moïse was assassinated on July 7. Joseph, who also serves as the country’s minister of foreign affairs, has been ruling the country with the support of the military since Moïse’ death. Moïse appointed Henry as prime minister two days before he was killed and before Henry, a 71-year-old neurosurgeon, could be sworn into office....
The Louisiana Republican was among the first representatives to announce he would object to the 2020 election results on the basis that he believed instances of voter fraud hadn’t been reported. As has been the case with other legislators, the decision to push back on certifying the election results prompted backlash and on Wednesday, a Facebook user said his post-election behavior rendered him a “domestic enemy” to the Constitution....
Norwich City full-back Olsson is set to arrive to provide cover for the injured Neil Taylor after a reported fee of £4million was agreed with the Championship side.

Put them together, and the confluence of the two often produces surprising results. MORE: SEC officiating comes under fire again Just ask N.C. State, which was both Saturday in knocking off No. 9 Clemson 27-21 in double overtime and handing the Tigers their second loss in four weeks. The result also blew the race for the ACC title wide open. N.C. State made a defensive stop on fourth-and-5 in the second OT to seal the game and drop Clemson to 2-2 (1-1 ACC) on the season....
The Clemson head coach, who recently came under fire for his wardrobe which some thought was mocking the Black Lives Matter movement, spoke to protesters gathered at Clemson’s campus over the weekend. Swinney is the second big name from Clemson to speak out on racial injustices and civil unrest, joining quarterback Trevor Lawrence, who sided with his “brothers that continuously deal with issues he’ll never experience.” I believe with all my heart that God stopped the world in 2020, so we could have perfect vision and clearly see the social and racial injustice and the changes that need to occur in our society....
The Clemson offense is returning nine starters from a unit that averaged 514.5 yards per game in 2015. And these aren’t your run-of-the-mill guys. Tight end Jordan Leggett had a breakout 2015 after disappointing seasons as a freshman and sophomore. He quickly became a favorite target for Watson in all areas of the field and finished with 40 catches, 525 receiving yards, a team-high eight touchdowns and second-team All-America honors....
Williams’ performance at Clemson’s Pro Day on Thursday, including his stellar, much-anticipated 40-yard dash — unofficially 4.49, more realistically in the mid-4.5s — confirmed he needs to be the first wideout drafted April 27. MORE: 2017 NFL Draft Board The Combine belonged to Washington’s John Ross, the speedster who set the unofficial pre-draft record with a 4.22 40. Williams chose to not run at the Combine, and it was a good decision, because it gave him a chance to stand out on the fast track of the Tigers’ palatial indoor practice facility....
The result means the Parc des Princes outfit are within touching distance of winning the French title with closest challengers Marseille at home to Montpellier on Sunday. It took PSG just six minutes to open the scoring with Neymar firing into the back of the net after some pinball inside the Clermont box with Messi setting up the Brazilian. Mbappe grabbed his first of the night, and PSG’s second of the match, after 19 minutes, racing in behind to lift a finish over the goalkeeper following an excellent pass by Messi on the edge of the box....
And, finally, they have a trophy to prove it. The team has recovered a lost championship trophy from 1946, when the Browns won the first of four consecutive All-American Football Conference titles. The handsome 3-foot-tall trophy, engraved with the names of six Hall of Fame players as well as renowned coach Paul Brown, was one of two awarded to the team after the Browns won their first title in the defunct AAFC, four years before they joined the NFL....
Playing defense is seldom a winning strategy in politics or sport. You have to put points on the board. If the election is framed as a choice between taking the fight to the enemy and sitting back and waiting for the terrorists to attack us again, the Democrats will lose. “Offense or defense–that’s the political DNA,” says Jon Cowan of Third Way, the centrist Democratic group. It’s a completely bogus choice, but unless Democrats take it on frontally and develop an effective offense, they’ll doom themselves in ‘08....

Tough talk. But so far, world leaders have found it easy to fall for Serb promises. Each one– George Bush and Bill Clinton, Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin, Britain’s John Major, France’s Francois Mitterrand and Germany’s Helmut Kohl-wanted to solve the Yugoslav crisis on the cheap. Their own experts told them the Serbs would respond only to a credible threat of force. But domestic politics took precedence; so did postcold-war alliance rivalries....
For the flu-ridden and ill-tempered members of Clinton’s road crew, who have been barreling around the country since early December, it’s a ghastly scenario. Even Clinton’s legendary stamina is wearing thin. Fighting a heavy cold, she grew teary Monday morning at an event at the Yale Child Study Center, where she once worked as a law student, as her old friend Penn Rhodeen described his first meeting with her, when she was clad in a sheepskin coat and bell-bottoms....
The good news is that sophisticated knee surgery is pretty much routine these days. In a two-hour, four-minute operation at Bethesda Naval Medical Center, doctors drilled four tiny holes in the presidential patella, or kneecap, and reattached the torn tendon with strong surgical thread. They used only a local anesthetic, known as an epidural, to avoid triggering the provisions of the 25th Amendment, which requires a temporary transfer of power to the vice president whenever the president is incapacitated....
“I saw a sign up there: ‘Help Wanted. Experience Required, Day One,’” Clinton said near the start of her remarks. “And I think that says it all. I want you to think about this campaign as a loooong job interview. Because each of us is going to come and talk about what we’ve done and what we want to do, and you have to decide: who would you hire for the toughest job in the world?...

Loomer, who previously described herself as a “proud Islamophobe,” gained national notoriety after handcuffing herself to Twitter’s headquarters in 2018 in protest of her ban from that social media platform. Her suspension this week from Clubhouse comes amid weeks of conservatives flocking to it and Parler as “free speech” alternatives to Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. Reports emerged Friday of Loomer’s suspension following a recent live chat in which she described becoming “roadkill” if Uber doesn’t vet its Muslim drivers....
