BELMONT, Mich. (AP) — Defending champion Jennifer Kupcho birdied the par-5 18th for a 6-under 66 and a share of the first-round lead Thursday in the Meijer LPGA Classic.Kupcho birdied four of the five par-5 holes in a bogey-free round at Blythefield Country Club. She was tied with Ayaka Furue, Frida Kinhult, Lindsey Weaver-Wright and Cheyenne Knight.“I think it kind of sets up really well for my game,” Kupcho said. “Five par 5s, I like par 5s at all golf courses, so certainly helps. I think I just feel really comfortable in general. Played pretty well here even aside from the wind.”Kupcho is making her second title defense of the year, but the first came in the relocated major Chevron Championship on a new course Texas.“It’s definitely a lot different defending this versus Chevron,” Kupcho said. “Just knowing the golf course, knowing where most of the pin placements are going to be, it’s just a whole level of comfort.”Knight also had a bogey-free round.“This course you can make a lo...

DeChambeau: ‘Not as much tension’ at US Open after PGA Tour-LIV partnership

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 07:46:02 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Bryson DeChambeau can feel the mood lightening in the locker room and on the course just one week after the PGA Tour and LIV Golf ceased hostilities.DeChambeau shot a 67 in his opening round at the U.S. Open on Thursday, leaving the long-hitting 2020 champion tied for third among the morning half of the draw behind record-setters Rickie Fowler and Xander Schauffele, who each shot 62.This Open at Los Angeles Country Club is the first major since the stunning announcement of the partnership between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. The Saudi Arabia-backed competition attracted dozens of top players — DeChambeau among the most prominent — to its highly controversial endeavor with lavish payouts over the last two years, but last week’s seismic move put golf in flux once again.Nobody knows exactly what the sport will look like in the near future, with LIV apparently planning to continue its own competitions in some form. But DeChambeau senses that the us-against-them me...

El único rascacielos de París está a punto de cumplir 50 años, y muchos parisinos siguen odiándolo

Published Fri, 07 Feb 2025 07:46:02 GMT

(CNN) —  Hay un viejo chiste en París que dice que la cima de la Torre Montparnasse tiene la vista más bonita de la capital francesa. No por sus impresionantes panorámicas de la Torre Eiffel o de la basílica del Sacre-Coeur, encaramada en Montmartre, sino porque es el único lugar desde el que no hay que ver el rascacielos en sí.Desde que se inauguró en 1973, esta torre de cristal color chocolate de 59 pisos ha sido denostada por muchos parisinos al considerarla una plaga en el horizonte de la “Ciudad de la Luz”. Es el único rascacielos de París, con 210 metros de altura, en una ciudad conocida sobre todo por su uniformidad arquitectónica.La ira inicial contra el edificio, diseñado por los arquitectos Jean Saubot, Eugène Beaudouin, Urbain Cassan y Louis de Hoÿm de Marien, no fue para nada inusual.Históricamente, los parisinos se han opuesto casi por reflejo a los grandes cambios en el aspecto de su ciudad. La Torre Eiffel, terminada en 1889, fue objeto de burlas al ...
