Golf picks: RBC Canadian Open predictions & best bets | Pickswise

That Viktor Hovland win had been brewing for a while, and he pipped Denny McCarthy to the post in the Memorial playoff on Sunday. The next big one is the U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club next week, but before that it’s across the northern border to Toronto for the RBC Canadian Open. Rory McIlroy will be looking to win 3 in a row here; he won the 2019 and 2022 Canadian Open titles, while the ’20 and ’21 tournaments were canceled due to COVID. McIlroy is also coming off a T7 this past week at the Memorial and is using this tournament to fully prepare for the U.S. Open. Some of the PGA Tour’s top Canadians are currently in great form, so the fans have a lot to be excited about as they root for a hometown heroes. No Canadian was won this tournament since 1954! Corey Conners and Mackenzie Hughes have already spent some time out the course over the past few weeks to prepare for their home Open and try to work out these green complexes (more on that later…). With the course being new

Debt limit deal heads to vote in full House while McCarthy scrambles for GOP approval

Under fire from conservatives, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is hunting for votes from fellow Republicans for the debt ceiling deal WASHINGTON -- Under fire from conservatives, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy worked furiously Tuesday to sell fellow Republicans on the debt ceiling and budget deal he negotiated with President Joe Biden and win approval in time to avert a potentially disastrous U.S. default. Leaders of the hard-right House Freedom Caucus lambasted the compromise as falling well short of the spending cuts they demand, and they vowed to try to halt passage by Congress. A much larger conservative faction, the Republican Study Committee, declined to take a position. Even rank-and-file centrist conservatives were not sure, leaving McCarthy desperately hunting for votes. The House Rules Committee voted 7-6 Tuesday to advance a bill dealing with the federal debt ceiling to the full House, with two Republicans joining Democrats to oppose. The full House is expected to vote Wednesday

Always wanted a lighthouse? US is giving some away, selling others at auction

Ten lighthouses that for generations have stood like sentinels along America’s shorelines protecting mariners from peril and guiding them to safety are being given away at no cost or sold at auction by the federal government BOSTON -- Ten lighthouses that for generations have stood like sentinels along America's shorelines protecting mariners from peril and guiding them to safety are being given away at no cost or sold at auction by the federal government. The aim of the program run by the General Services Administration is to preserve the properties, most of which are more than a century old. The development of modern technology, including GPS, means lighthouses are no longer essential for navigation, said John Kelly of the GSA's office of real property disposition. And while the Coast Guard often maintains aids to navigation at or near lighthouses, the structures themselves are often no longer mission critical. Yet the public remains fascinated by the beacons, which are popul

Target on the defensive after removing LGBTQ+-themed products

Target once distinguished itself as being boldly supportive of the LGBTQ+ community NEW YORK -- Target once distinguished itself as being boldly supportive of the LGBTQ+ community. Now that status is tarnished after it removed some LGBTQ+-themed products and relocated Pride Month displays to the back of stores in certain Southern locations in response to online complaints and in-store confrontations that it says threatened employees’ well-being. Target faces a second backlash from customers upset by the discount retailer’s reaction to aggressive, anti-LGBTQ+ activism, which has also been sweeping through Republican state legislatures. Civil rights groups chided the company on Wednesday for caving to anti-LGBTQ+ customers who tipped over displays and expressed outrage over gender-fluid bathing suits. “Target should put the products back on the shelves and ensure their Pride displays are visible on the floors, not pushed into the proverbial closet,” Human Rights Campaign president Kelle

New Zealand's central bank raises key interest rate to 5.5% but signals next move will be a cut

New Zealand’s central bank has raised its benchmark interest rate to 5.5% but signaled its next move would be a cut, sparking a sell-off in the currency WELLINGTON, New Zealand -- New Zealand's central bank raised its benchmark interest rate again Wednesday to 5.5% but signaled its next move would be a cut, sparking a sell-off in the currency. Wednesday's quarter-point rate rise was the 12th straight hike imposed by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand since October 2021. But for the first time since the tightening cycle began, the bank projected the next move would be a cut, which would likely come later next year. The projection was more dovish than markets had expected and caused the New Zealand dollar to drop by more than 1% to trade at a little below U.S. 62 cents. Like many central banks around the world, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand has been raising rates to try and tame i NFL ation, which in New Zealand has fallen from a recent peak of 7.3% last June to 6.7%.
