In terms of importance and sheer breathtaking drama, Rory McIlroy’s run of six birdies in the last seven holes last night is unlikely to be matched this week. If it is, we’re in for an era-defining treat. But the course does seem to be offering opportunities. The 2011 PGA champion Keegan Bradley reached the turn a wee bit earlier with four consecutive birdies, 6 through 9; he’s level par for the Tournament. And now Rasmus Højgaard has matched that feat with birdies at 13, 14, 15 and 16. The run’s unlikely to continue, as he’s just whistled his tee shot at 17 into the trees down the right, although that’s what Rory did yesterday and look what ended up happening there. Anyway, Højgaard is +3 overall for now.
There have only been three aces in Masters history at the famous short par-three 12th Golden Bell. Claude Harmon (1948 champion and father of Butch) in 1947; the amateur William Hyndman in 1959; and two-time US Open champion Curtis Strange in 1988. Three in 89 years … then nearly two in two days. Yesterday afternoon, the 18-year-old amateur Mason Howell landed his tee shot a couple of inches away from the hole; today the 2011 winner Charl Schwartzel smacked his wedge flush onto the base of the flagstick, a couple of feet up, and away. So close, but yet so far. Howell’s ball stopped near enough to tap in for birdie; Schwartzel’s nearly twanged back off the green but at least he saved his par.

United States federal agents arrested three Iranian nationals – including the son of a revolutionary at the center of the 1979 Iran hostage crisis – after the US state department terminated their green cards, the department announced on Saturday.
State department officials revoked the green card status of Seyed Eissa Hashemi, whose mother was an Iranian revolutionary who served as the spokesperson for Iran’s regime during the hostage crisis that defined the late Jimmy Carter’s presidency. The state department also revoked the green card – or legal permanent resident – statuses of Hashemi’s wife and son.

While there were five active Star Trek series just a few years ago, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds filmed its fifth and final season in the fall of 2025, and Star Trek: Starfleet Academy "wrapped filming its second and final season at the end of February." (Though ironically, both Star Trek series still have seasons yet to premiere, with two season of Strange New Worlds mean it may continue airing through 2027.)
TrekCentral reports that the sets for Star Trek: Starfleet Academy are now being torn down... There will be a local online auction for parts of the set on Friday. Additionally, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' sets are also being taken down... Star Trek: Starfleet Academy boasted the largest sets ever built for Star Trek. The demolition of Starfleet Academy's stunning sets includes the loss of the multi-level atrium, which had the Starfleet Wall of Heroes, the USS Athena's bridge, and the classrooms.

LONDEN (ANP/AFP) - De politie in Londen heeft meer dan tweehonderd demonstranten opgepakt bij een protest op Trafalgar Square. Pro-Palestijnse activisten hadden zich op het bekende plein verzameld om de verboden groepering Palestine Action te steunen. De regering plaatste de organisatie in juli op een lijst met terroristische organisaties. Een rechter oordeelde in februari dat dit verbod onwettig is.
Volgens de organisatie van het protest waren er ongeveer vijfhonderd mensen aanwezig bij de demonstratie. Ze protesteerden tegen de "medeplichtigheid van de Britse regering aan de Israëlische genocide in Gaza en het misplaatste optreden tegen vreedzame protesten in eigen land".
De demonstranten die zijn opgepakt, droegen onder meer spandoeken om Palestine Action te steunen. Sinds het verbod op de organisatie zijn er bijna 3000 mensen gearresteerd.
De onderhandelingen tussen de VS en Iran in Pakistan lopen vast op de controle over de Straat van Hormuz, melden ingewijden aan The Financial Times. Zo zou Iran erop staan de controle over de zeestraat te behouden en tol te kunnen heffen op schepen. Het land zou eventuele "gezamenlijke controle" weigeren.
