Golf news: Bryson DeChambeau misses Masters cut after 18th-hole triple bogey
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Bryson DeChambeau was one hole away from playing the weekend at the Masters.
DeChambeau, 32, was 3-over heading into the 18th hole and below the cut line at 4-over but imploded at the very end.
DeChambeau’s errant tee shot ended up in the pinestraw under a tree. He punched out from under the tree, but hit it too strongly, as the ball rolled into the bunker right by the green.

At this point, DeChambeau needed an up-and-down to shoot par and play into the weekend, setting up a critical bunker shot. DeChambeau tried to land his bunker shot just on the edge of the sand trap for it to roll onto the green.
Instead, he landed it at the top of the ridge of the bunker, and the ball rolled back down the bunker. DeChambeau, stunned by the shot, turned and looked at his caddie in disbelief.
Needing to hole out his second bunker shot to miraculously save par and his Masters chances, DeChambeau made it out of the bunker, but nowhere close to the hole as his ball rolled off the green and onto the fairway.

The California native chipped the ball to 12 feet from 24 yards out before two-putting for triple bogey.
The triple bogey brought DeChambeau to 6-over and behind the cut line. It was the first time he had missed the cut at Augusta since 2023.
DeChambeau was not the only notable name to miss the cut, as last year’s U.S. Open champion J.J. Spaun also missed the cut at 5-over.

Spaun’s missed cut was even more surprising because he won the Valero Texas Open last Sunday.
Rory McIlroy leads the Masters at 12-under, taking a historic six-shot lead into the weekend as he looks to win his second straight title at Augusta.

Ceasefire brings some relief for Iranians but economic outlook remains grim | US-Israel war on Iran News
Tehran, Iran – More people in Iran are returning to work this week as a pause in fighting provides temporary respite from bombardment by the United States and Israel, but the economic outlook remains grim for most.
In the network of narrow corridors, workshops and warehouses in Tehran’s Grand Bazaar, a commercial hub in the capital, more shops were open and for longer hours on Saturday, the first day of the working week, compared with before the ceasefire announced overnight into Wednesday.

list of 3 itemsend of listSales, however, continued to be slow compared with the period before the war, merchants said.
“It’s almost complete stagnation,” said a vendor, who works in the section of the bazaar selling metal goods, tools and light industrial items.
“We received new price listings for some of the products from wholesalers today, everything is about 20-30 percent more expensive” compared with listings in late January, he told Al Jazeera, adding that it was unclear when, whether, how much or at what prices new goods could be imported in the future due to the war.
The January prices, he said, also signified a similar jump compared with earlier months as they were affected by rampant inflation made worse after weeks of nationwide protests, during which thousands were killed, and the state imposed 20 days of near-total internet blackout across the country.
The Islamic Republic has imposed another near-total internet shutdown since the start of the war on February 28, which has caused countless more income streams to be wiped out for families trying to survive the bombs falling on their cities and the declining economy.
“I don’t understand how none of the authorities seem to be thinking that the internet is also crucial civilian infrastructure like the power plants being threatened by the US,” said a young woman based in Tehran, in reference to fears last week amid apocalyptic rhetoric employed by President Donald Trump.
She is an online English teacher who tutored students using Google Meet, now forced to use local state-run platforms that work on a rudimentary intranet, which serves to keep services from total collapse absent the global internet.
She said the local messaging services and other platforms are unsafe from a security and data encryption standpoint, and most of them only allow people connecting through an Iranian internet protocol (IP) to have access, which excludes her foreign-based students who have left Iran in pursuit of a better life.
The vendor at the Grand Bazaar also said their online sales have dropped to nearly zero, because customers have no way of finding their website except through prior knowledge of the site, or local internet browsers, which seldom succeed in guiding users to their intended search results.
The government of President Masoud Pezeshkian, which had promised to lift the draconian internet restrictions that were in place and exacerbating long before the war and the January protests, has said limits will continue due to “security considerations”.
ICT Minister Sattar Hashemi said last week his ministry would provide a handful of digital businesses with “goal-oriented and integrated support” that could include loans and better internet connections, but it was unclear how the businesses, or the millions who will receive no government backing, are to operate while their customers remain offline.
A number of telecommunication carriers have also unveiled plans for “Internet Pro”, as the state looks to implement a years-long vision to create a tiered internet system with varying degrees of connectivity for different people and professions.
Lay-offs everywhere
The situation for the embattled Iranian economy could still get worse, as the deepening impact of attacks against civilian infrastructure will likely become more apparent over the coming weeks and months.
The US and Israel have bombed and put out of commission Iran’s top steel factories, petrochemical manufacturers, aluminium producers, airports and civilian aircraft, ports and customs authorities, bridges and railway networks, and oil and gas facilities.
It would take Iran years to rebuild even if the war ended today, and that is while the country faced a huge budget crunch even before the war, and still has no prospects of lifting the harsh sanctions imposed by the US and the United Nations over its nuclear programme in order to boost foreign investments.
Iranian, US and Israeli authorities continue to present clashing demands and proclaim victory as they engage in negotiations mediated by Pakistan in Islamabad.
There are now more than 50,000 US troops in the region, as well as aircraft carriers and an array of other military assets, with Washington threatening that some could be used to launch ground attacks on Iranian soil to further destroy its oil and gas facilities and attempt to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by force.
Meanwhile, all sectors of the Iranian economy have been impacted by a lethal mix of local mismanagement and corruption, sanctions, two major wars in less than one year, and more than two months of near-total nationwide internet shutdown.
Technology firms are only signing contracts spanning several months, major carmakers have laid off thousands of workers, and numerous journalists have been let go by state-run and private sector media outlets.
A video game critic and online content producer from Tehran told Al Jazeera that he and many others are long past digging into meagre savings. He said he has been trying to sell some professional equipment and other belongings, but some are not finding buyers even at below-market prices.
“With or without the war, it feels like we’ve been dead for a long time. Not only are our voices silenced, but we have to fight to meet our basic needs,” he said.

NYPD officer fatally shoots suspect who stabbed 3 at Grand Central Terminal
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The New York Police Department (NYPD) said an officer shot and killed a suspect who claimed to be “Lucifer” in Grand Central Terminal while allegedly attacking three people with a machete on the subway platform.
Officers shot and killed 44-year-old Anthony Griffin after he advanced towards them with a machete, ignoring over 20 warnings to stop, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said in a Saturday press conference.
Officers responded to a 9:40 a.m. 911 call of an assault in progress at the train station. Upon arrival, they found Griffin wielding the machete, police said.
Griffin was “repeatedly stating that he was Lucifer,” Tisch said.

After Griffin refused orders to drop the knife, one officer discharged his service weapon and shot him twice, she added. Griffin was transported to a local hospital and died.
Griffin had three prior unsealed arrests but no history of being an emotionally disturbed person, Tisch told reporters.
The three stabbing victims were an 84-year-old male, a 70-year-old female, and a 64-year-old male. All three were transported to local hospitals but are all in stable condition.

“Random acts of violence scare everyone. Anyone can be a victim of random violence and that is why it is so important for New Yorkers to understand that the NYPD has recently upped our presence in the transit system,” Tisch said, while saying the NYPD added 175 additional officers last month.
The 4, 5, 6, and 7 trains are skipping the Grand Central Terminal 42nd St. stop while the NYPD conduct an investigation, the Metro Transit Authority (MTA) told Fox News Digital.

Iran’s new supreme leader reportedly disfigured in US-Israel strikes
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Iran’s new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei is severely disfigured after suffering leg and face injuries as a result of joint U.S.-Israel airstrikes on Tehran in February, Reuters reported Saturday.
Khamenei is recovering after incurring the injuries in the February 28 airstrikes that killed his father, former supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei. He has not been seen publicly since being hospitalized.
Despite the injuries, Khamenei allegedly remains “mentally sharp,” Reuters reported, citing a trio of anonymous sources within his inner circle. The new supreme leader is in communication with the Iranian delegation in Pakistan for peace talks with a U.S. delegation led by Vice President JD Vance.
The Reuters report corroborates an earlier statement from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who told reporters on March 13 that Khamenei was “likely disfigured.”

He then reiterated the claim in a Thursday press conference while outlining the U.S. military’s achievements in Iran.
“Their top leadership was systematically eliminated, their previous Iranian supreme leader dead, the supreme national security council secretary dead, the supreme leader office advisor dead, the supreme leader military office chief dead, the defense minister no longer with us, the IRGC commander dead, the armed forces general staff commander dead, the intelligence minister dead, the IRGC navy commander no longer here, the IRGC Intel chief dead,” Hegseth listed.

“I skipped over a bunch, and I could go on and on and on, to include the new — so-called new supreme leader, wounded and disfigured. This new regime was out of options and out of time, so they cut a deal.”

Despite his weakened condition, Khamenei vowed to put up resistance in a defiant written statement Thursday.
“Iran is not seeking war but will not forfeit its rights and considers all resistance fronts as a unified entity,” the statement read.
Hegseth dismissed the statement as “weak” in his March press conference.

“It was a written statement. Iran has plenty of cameras and plenty of voice recorders. Why a written statement?” Hegseth asked. “I think you know why. His father, dead. He’s scared, he’s injured, he’s on the run and he lacks legitimacy. It’s a mess for them. Who’s in charge? Iran may not even know.”
Sources reportedly told Reuters that Khamenei could enter the public spotlight in a month or two, but only if “his health and the security situation allowed.

While many publicly question where and when we may see the supreme leader again, Iranian hardliners stress the importance of him keeping a low-profile.
“Why should he appear in public? To become a target for these criminals?” an Iranian militiaman asked Reuters in a text message.
