It was an opening round to forget for McIlroy, who started with a quadruple-bogey eight and finished with a 7 on the par-4 18th en route to an 8-over-par 79. That was 12 behind early clubhouse leader Shane Lowry, while world No. 1 Brooks Koepka was also at 4 under through 15 holes. McIlroy’s round did not follow the script for the local hero and he faces a monumental battle to even make the weekend for Portrush’s first Open Championship since 1951....

He became the first Conservative mayor of London in a predominately left-wing city, twice. He managed to help lead a Brexit campaign to victory that had an 18 percent chance, according to pollsters and bookies, of winning in a two-horse race only a couple of weeks before the vote.* He told the House of Commons in Parliament that a “zombie Brexit deal” with Europe could not be reached before taking over as prime minister and getting a surprisingly similar deal voted through by politicians....

Pfizer, which is partnering with German biotechnology company BioNTech SE in the development of the vaccine, said its vaccine is “more than 90 percent effective” at preventing COVID-19 after an initial analysis of data from a large trial. Boris Johnson said the U.K. has ordered enough of the Pfizer vaccine for a third of the population but warned the public that it is not ready yet. At a press conference held at 10 Downing Street, the PM said: “Of course it’s good news, but there’s a long way to go before we’ve got this thing beaten....

The then 21-year-old seemed to have no patience with Carlson’s line of questioning in the CNN interview, especially when he quizzed her over her soda drinking preferences. Spears was reportedly paid $8 million to star in ads for Pepsi in 2001, but Carlson was sceptical that she consumed their beverages at all. “You worked with Pepsi for a long time. Candidly, between you and me, how much Pepsi do you think you drink on average day?...

The “Oops I Did it Again” singer was the subject of a much-talked-about documentary earlier this year titled Framing Britney Spears. Now in a new Instagram post, the 39-year-old admitted she “cried for two weeks” after she watched the film. Spears admitted in the caption, posted on March 30, that she didn’t watch the whole documentary, but was upset by the parts she did see. “My life has always been very speculated …watched … and judged really my whole life !...

The pop star shared a clip of the blue-eyed Australian shepherd on Instagram, describing her joy at the newest member of her family. “Geez …. can you have two loves of your lives because he comes in second !!!! I’m introducing the new edition to my family … his name is Sawyer and he’s a white Australian shepherd with blue eyes !!!!!” the 40-year-old wrote.

By the time two pitches have been thrown, Costas has provided plenty of relevant information about Cardinals left-hander Tim Cooney, making his second major league start. The southpaw made the Pacific Coast League All-Star team, pitching for Triple-A Memphis, “and, yes, Memphis is in the Pacific Coast League.” He’s 6-3, 195 pounds and went to Wake Forest, “and gets ahead of Upton, 0-2.” MORE: 25 years ago, White Sox debuted first throwback uniforms...

To the outside world, the Frenches are a seemingly normal, red-blooded American family. Nice home, in a nice neighborhood in a nice retirement community in suburban Philadelphia—perhaps it’s a little sterile, but it’s livable. Nancy (Jane Alexander) and Bill (James Cromwell) a nice-looking 80-ish couple. Everything is nice, nice, very nice. They sit down for a bite to eat as they apparently have done (exactly the same way) for years, but boy do things change....

On Wednesday night, Jones was flagged for a potential drug test failure and was pulled from the show. The new main event was then switched to Brock Lesnar and Mark Hunt.

A second-round draft pick in 2012, Osweiler completed 20 of 27 passes for 250 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. His performance has led to murmurs that he may start more games moving forward.

The most common treatments for acute bronchitis include rest and symptomatic treatment when the inflammation is the result of a viral infection. When a bacterial infection is the cause, antibiotics may be used as well. Chronic bronchitis, on the other hand, is managed with medications that decrease inflammation of the bronchi, such as inhaled or oral steroids, as well as lifestyle modifications such as smoking cessation. Home Remedies and Lifestyle If you are diagnosed with acute or chronic bronchitis, you will probably not need to be hospitalized for it....

If the contest had taken place Tuesday, running backs Mark Ingram and J.K. Dobbins would have been ineligible to play under coronavirus protocol. Under those circumstances, Gus Edwards would have been asked to significantly increase his workload carrying the ball against a strong defensive front. Ingram and Dobbins, now an extra day removed from positive COVID-19 tests, are suddenly ready to be activated. Fans of rival teams are miffed at that development, having already been upset at the Ravens for a staffer’s careless activity leading up to their COVID-19 outbreak....

Of course, they’re lacking one key position that contenders need: A quarterback. Drew Lock hasn’t yet lived up to his second-round billing and his third season will be a make-or-break year. Last year, Lock was a roller coaster ride for Broncos fans, and trading for Teddy Bridgewater isn’t a significant improvement. Vic Fangio’s squad will look to avoid those pitfalls this year and if Lock or Bridgewater improve, they could be a playoff team....

Lynch’s time eventually would come, and that time looks like Week 1 of 2017. IYER: Jamaal Charles a perfect fit in Denver Last year, Lynch was an overwhelmed rookie first-round pick, while Siemian, even as a second-year seventh-rounder, had a huge advantage with an extra year in the same offense. With coach Gary Kubiak retired and his offensive coordinator Rick Dennison now in Buffalo, it was no accident that Mike McCoy returned to Denver to replace Dennison under new coach Vance Joseph....

Hopkins was a perfect 4-for-4 on the night, helping Los Angeles improve to 4-2 on the season and pick up a big win over an AFC West rival. The loss drops Denver to 2-4 and 1-3 in prime time games this season. After four consecutive drives resulting three-and-outs to begin OT, Broncos returner Montrell Washington muffed a punt, resulting in the Chargers regaining possession deep in Denver territory. It led to the eventual 39-yard field goal by Hopkins....
