This 2nd-grader’s research project on Jordan Spieth is the cutest thing you’ll see today

Ah, the joys of second grade. A simpler age when doing “research projects” just involved reading a youth-level biography on your favorite athlete and giving a quick talk to your class about it because you hadn't developed a fear of public speaking yet. Man, I really nailed that Bo Jackson presentation. Good times.
Anyway, one youngster named Champ recently picked Jordan Spieth as his project topic. And he pulled it off perfectly, right down to a sharp — but not too flashy — Under Armour ensemble. Have a look and listen at what will undoubtedly be the cutest thing you see all day:

Jordan didn't reply (he's not a big Twitter guy), but his mom did:

We love it, too, Champ. We just feel bad for the kid who had to follow your act by talking about Ge..

Science proves that Uranus a big smelly producer of gas

QAI PublishingBig news for fans of the vast reaches of the galaxy and those who appreciate a good poop joke, two groups that probably contain the exact same people, honestly: Actual science research has proven that Uranus is a huge ball of gas that reeks of flatulence. And people say writing humor can be hard.
This all comes from the world of flatulence-based astrophysics, which is a field not often mentioned by Neil deGrasse Tyson and also very likely my son’s future major: Uranus actually smells like farts. We’ll pause to let that sentence sit there while appreciate the beautiful crystalline structure of the year’s best science-related actual news joke. It may actually be a perfect joke? It’s a perfect diamond of a joke, it’s the Beyonce’s Coachella performance of a joke, it’s the Kate Middleton’s appearance seven hours after producing an infant of a joke. How lucky we are to be alive right now.
Uranus jokes, as you already know if you are or have ever been 9, are the most reliable s..

Langer to miss Senior PGA title defense for son’s graduation

Bernhard Langer has compiled 36 victories and just over $25 million in earnings on the PGA Tour Champions, and he is a seven-time player of the year. It might help the others if the 60-year-old German takes a week off every now and then.

”Sometimes they say, `Why don’t you take a week off?’ I joke back and say, `If you pay me some disappearance fee, I might.’ But I haven’t received any yet,” Langer said Monday while previewing the Senior PGA Championship in Benton Harbor, Michigan.

Leave it to Langer’s son to arrange that.

Langer revealed that he won’t be able to defend his title on May 24-27 because his youngest son, 18-year-old Jason, is graduating from high school that weekend.

”Family always comes first in my life, so I’ve got to be there to support him, to celebrate him moving on to college,” Langer said.

He said his son will attend Penn’s Wharton School of Business and plans to play golf.

”I wouldn’t want to miss that,” Langer said. ”I’m going t..

Black woman golfer: It was like we had targets on our backs

YORK, Pa. (AP) Black people have long complained about getting pulled over by police for ”driving while black,” or being eyed suspiciously by store security guards for ”shopping while black.” Now a group of women says it got into trouble for golfing while black.

Officials at the Grandview Golf Club in York called police on the group, accusing them of playing too slowly and holding up others behind them.

No charges were filed, but the confrontation Saturday touched a raw nerve after two other somewhat similar incidents. Two black men in Philadelphia were handcuffed and arrested on April 12 after a Starbucks employee called police because they hadn’t bought anything in the store. And employees of an LA Fitness in New Jersey wrongly accused a black member and his guest of not paying to work out and called police, prompting an apology from the company.

One of the black women golfers, Sandra Harrison, said they were at the second hole when representatives of ..

Column: PGA Tour primed for big 2nd half of season

The PGA Tour began the second half of the season at the Texas Open, with Andrew Landry becoming the seventh first-time winner.

Never mind that it feels as though the season is just getting started.

Still to come are three majors and The Players Championship. Not to be overlooked are the FedEx Cup playoffs. Quibble about points and prestige, but they deliver four tournaments over five weeks of the top available players.

Article continues below …

Most sports prefer to become more relevant the closer they get to the finish line, so that’s one benefit of the PGA Tour’s wraparound season.

The opening 22 weeks featured one major and three World Golf Championships, one of them in Shanghai last October, the other two in March separated by two weeks. Justin Thomas, Bubba Watson and Patton Kizzire are multiple winners. Dustin Johnson should be. Jordan Spieth would settle for one victory at this point.

The first half did a good job setting the table for what should be a compelling five mo..
