Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:54:58 GMT

OLYMPIA FIELDS, Ill. (AP) — Viktor Hovland delivered the best round of his career at the right time, making birdie on all but two holes on the back nine Sunday for a 9-under 61 to break the course record at Olympia Fields and storm past Scottie Scheffler and Matt Fitzpatrick to win the BMW Championship.What looked to be a two-man race between Scheffler and Fitzpatrick turned into a one-man show by Hovland. He headed to the back nine four shots behind. In the end, Scheffler and Fitzpatrick had to hole out from the fairway to catch him.Both closed with a 66, a score that normally would be enough to win on a day like this. They had to settle for runner-up to Hovland, who won for the second time this year and never looked better doing it.Jordan Spieth bogeyed his last two holes for a 71 and still narrowly made it among the top 30 from the FedEx Cup who advance to the Tour Championship next week. Fitzpatrick was the only one to play himself in, going from No. 40 to No. 10 with his runner...

CALGARY, Alberta (AP) — Ken Duke holed a 5-foot birdie putt on the par-5 18th hole Sunday to win the Shaw Charity Classic for his first title on the PGA Tour Champions.Duke closed with a 4-under 66 for a one-shot victory over Thongchai Jaidee of Thailand and Tim Petrovic, who started the final round in the lead.Jaidee shot a 62. Petrovic had to play out of the rough on the closing hole and failed to make a birdie that might have forced a playoff. He shot 69.Duke rolled in his birdie putt, took a step toward the hole with a big fist pump and began to celebrate. His lone PGA Tour victory was 10 years ago at the Travelers Championship. And it was meaningful to win for the first time in Canada, where he began his career.Duke won twice on what now is PGA Tour Canada.“I’ve always dreamed about this. This is where I started my professional career up here in Canada and I always thought that I’d win up here and here we are,” Duke said, alluding to the seven years he spent up north.Darr...

The war against ‘woke capitalism’ is coming to the EU 

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:54:58 GMT

The man who brought you Brexit is back with a playbook for Europe’s populists.Nigel Farage’s rabble-rousing cry against “woke capitalism” is a roadmap for Euroskeptic parties across the continent seeking to rally their base against an establishment they portray as unconcerned with real people’s worries.With Europeans heading to the polls next year, Farage’s spat with a bank that dropped him over his political views has already caught the attention of politicians in the EU. The next step would be for them to try to convince voters that an out-of-touch elite is too preoccupied with climate change and diversity to focus on their concerns.“Far-right parties will keep talking about immigration because it’s their core topic, but in order to increase their appeal they need to kind of diversify their issues, what they talk about, and this is where woke capitalism comes in,” said Sofia Vasilopoulou, professor of European politics at King’s College London.T...

Iran’s dangerous jousting in international waters

Elisabeth Braw is a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and adviser at Gallos Technologies and a regular columnist for POLITICO.Four years ago, the world woke up to the Strait of Hormuz.On July 19, 2019, commandos from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps boarded the Stena Impero — a Swedish-owned, United Kingdom-flagged tanker traveling in the strait’s Omani waters — and seized the ship and crew.Two months later, Iran released both the crew and the ship, but shipping companies and insurers were spooked.Today, anxieties about security in the Strait of Hormuz are mounting once more, with the United States Navy recently dispatching a force of 3,000 sailors and Marines in an effort to keep shipping there safe. The decision follows a recent string of Iranian attacks on merchant vessels, including two in the last month alone. But how much they’ll be able to do without triggering armed confrontation with Iran is unclear.The seizure of the Stena Impero was so dramatic a...

Beijing is coming for the metaverse

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:54:58 GMT

China wants to define how a new, promising technology called the metaverse works — and it is pushing proposals that bear an eerie resemblance to the country’s controversial social credit systems, proposals reviewed by POLITICO showed.The proposals, drafted by the state-owned telecoms operator China Mobile, floated a “Digital Identity System” for all users of online virtual worlds, or metaverses. They recommended that the digital ID should work with “natural characteristics” and “social characteristics” that include a range of personal data points like people’s occupation, “identifiable signs” and other attributes. They also suggested this information be “permanently” stored and shared with law enforcement “to keep the order and safety of the virtual world.” The proposals even provides the example of a noxious user called Tom — an ideal stand-in for whoever uses the fledgling technology, for instance for gaming or socializing — who “spre...
