Nick Watney did to top the leaderboard. Watney made a 20-foot birdie putt from the right edge of the green on the par-4 18th for a 5-undee 65 and a one-stroke lead. The five-time PGA Tour winner had a 14-under 196 total with only one bogey through three trips around Sedgefield Country Club. “I’ve been trying to keep it pretty simple — a lot of fairways and greens, and I’ve been able to do that so far,” Watney said....
10. MATT KUCHAR Total earnings: $9,562,355 Playoff starts: 23 Earnings per start: $415,755 Memorable moment: At the 2010 Barclays, Kuchar got into a playoff after Martin Laird three-putted the final hole. Kuchar then hit a 7-iron from the rough that caught a slope and rolled across the length of the green to gimme range on first playoff hole (left) to earn him his lone playoff win. He wound up finishing second to Jim Furyk in the final standings to settle for a $3 million bonus....

Yet there's still ground to gain, and the conference can't rest on Michigan State's impressive 24-20 win against Stanford in the Rose Bowl. After all, that wasn't against a SEC team, a conference that is 5-1 in bowl games with four to play.

We know from the get-go that Hanssen’s the guilty party: that’s not the source of the suspense. The screenplay, written by director Billy Ray and the team of Adam Mazer and William Rotko, tells the story from the point of view of Eric O’Neill (Ryan Phillippe), a young, ambitious FBI agent-in-training who is selected to work as Hanssen’s assistant to gather evidence against–and set a trap for–the suspected traitor. Initially, O’Neill doesn’t realize how big the case is: his FBI boss (an excellent Laura Linney) tells him to look for evidence that the pious Roman Catholic Hanssen is obsessed with online porn....

Wisconsin’s Ron Johnson recently appeared on the radio show “The Cats Roundtable” on WABC-AM to discuss McConnell’s recent support for the $1.66 trillion omnibus spending package that was passed in the House and Senate. “Unfortunately, the arrogance of our [Senate GOP] leadership who said, ‘We know better than House members. We’re going to pass this,’” Johnson told the show’s host, John Catsimatidis. “I’m not buying it. Unfortunately, our supporters aren’t going to buy it either....
Gaetz, a GOP member of the House Judiciary Committee that overheard impeachment testimony last week, appeared on ABC News’ This Week on Sunday to produce a litany of defenses for President Donald Trump and Giuliani’s continued dealings with Ukraine. Gaetz acknowledged he believes Giuliani is representing the president in the Ukraine as Giuliani continues his reported “dirt-digging” trip in Kyiv, which began on December 4. However, the congressman said the entire impeachment inquiry is null because Trump in his July 25 phone call with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky was simply expressing his “skepticism of foreign aid....
David Ball told local CBS affiliate KDKA on Monday that state Republicans had sent Toomey to Washington to represent them and argued that he should have toed the party line. “We did not send him there to vote his conscience. We did not send him there to do the right thing or whatever he said he was doing,” Ball said. “We sent him there to represent us.” Toomey was one of just seven Republicans to vote with Democrats to convict Trump last week....
Rep. David Rouzer (R-N.C.) shared the now-viral image of a Hardee’s drive-thru late last week. In the photo, a piece of printer paper is seen taped over part of the menu. “Due to NO STAFF,” reads the sign, “WE ARE CLOSED.” It adds that the store is hiring and includes a phone number for interested applicants. Rouzer claimed that the restaurant’s lack of workers could be blamed on aid provided by the federal government amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, rather than issues others have pointed out, like poor working conditions and low pay....
While appearing on Sunday Morning Futures, Mace, a Republican representing South Carolina, pointed to natural immunity as to why Florida is experiencing a relatively low number of COVID-19 cases compared to other states, including Michigan. “One of the things that the CDC has not done and no policy at the federal level has done is taken into account what natural immunity does, and that may be what we’re seeing in Florida today,” she said....
LaMalfa, a Californian Republican, was one 126 GOP members of the house who supported an amicus brief filed by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to overturn the results in four states won by President-elect Joe Biden.

Republican Senators Ted Cruz of Texas of Josh Hawley of Missouri have been key GOP members in Congress’ upper chamber slowing the confirmation process for Biden’s ambassadors and foreign policy picks. Under the Senate’s rules, any one senator can object to a swift confirmation of a presidential nominee.

After vets at the Bioparc Valencia zoo diagnosed Mambie as practically sterile, the decision was made to “give him time.” The decision was wise — as Mambie is now the proud dad of Ebo, Virunga, Pepe and Felix. The zoo, located in Valencia, Spain, said Mambie is protective of females Fossey, Ali and Nalani. Footage provided by the zoo shows the silverbacks in their enclosure, with the young play-fighting under the watchful gaze of their mothers....

“Early in the pandemic I was really freaked out and worried about my small business and I posted my Mandalorian altered art piece on Reddit,” Dave wrote on Reddit. “You guys absolutely saved my store from closing and help me bridge the gap to getting one of the SBA [Small Business Administration] loans.” “I’m having this made into postcards and I’m going to send it to every address that ordered something from me in April,” he continued....
