Suez Canal reopens as Ever Given successfully removed
The Ever Given, the cargo ship that has been lodged in the Suez Canal for nearly a week, has been successfully refloated.

More than 450 ships have been blocked from crossing the vital global waterway since the Ever Given was grounded last week, Bloomberg reports, delaying hundreds of millions of dollars from reaching the global economy.

They got that done sooner than I figured. Lots of money lost the last few days.

any golfers here? sometimes the gods appear to be mortals.
Talk about bad breaks. I'm a big Phil fan. He had the bad luck of being in his prime when Tiger was on top of his game.

Wasn't it Rory who had the Open Championship well in hand if he had just played it safe on the last couple of holes? He went in the drink at least twice I think. He bounced back though. The Shark never did when he blew a big lead. (too long ago to remember which tourney)

It was the Masters where Norman blew the 6 stroke lead. Almost exactly 25 years ago. It was also the Masters where Rory blew it on the back none with a lead.

I loved Rory’s response when reporters asked him how it felt blowing a chance to win the Masters. He said something along the lines “I’m 24 years old making a lot of money playing a game I love to play. If losing this tournament is the worst thing that happens to me, I’ve had a pretty charmed life.”

It’s one of the reasons Rory is one of my favourites.
