Jon Rahm a Masters champion everyone saw coming

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:46:22 GMT

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Jon Rahm is a Masters champion, and he can say he saw this coming based on the message in a fortune cookie from a Chinese fast food chain nearly 10 years ago. Rahm was starting his sophomore year at Arizona State when he cracked open the fortune: “Your talents will be recognized and suitably rewarded.” He took to Twitter to share the message with his coach, Tim Mickelson, and wrote, “I am gonna win the masters!”If only it were that simple, and nothing about this Masters was until the 28-year-old Spaniard lofted a wedge over the bunker to 3 feet for a final par that gave him a four-shot victory over Brooks Koepka and Phil Mickelson, the older brother of his college coach.From the time he began his second round on Friday, Rahm never had the lead until Koepka began to lose his swing and his putting touch. It took Rahm 42 holes before he got his name in front again, and then he seized control with more miscues from Koepka and the brawler mentality to do whatever is n...

WET WEATHER RETURNS

Published Tue, 18 Feb 2025 23:46:22 GMT

Happy Monday, South Florida!Hopefully everyone had a great weekend. After plenty of sunshine and lots of dry time, rain and thunderstorms moved across our area and left portions of South Florida flooded. The rain and thunderstorms popped up as a weak  front moved into our area. That same front continues to sag southward across our area, trapping moisture over us and keeping us quite cloudy this morning. We even saw showers moving in across our metro and coastal areas as the morning progressed. The good news is that this morning South Florida woke up to comfortable temperatures in the upper 60s and lower 70s.  The bad news is that showers will once again return to the forecast today.As mentioned above, showers will once again be a big part of our forecast today. The front that has taken its time to clear South Florida will eventually stall just south of our area.  And as winds veer off the water later today (out of the Northeast), we will see a better chance for rain as those winds ...
