There’s been a lot of talk about the pin locations at this year’s PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club. The windy conditions have made the course difficult enough. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler called Friday’s pin locations for round 2, “kind of absurd” and “the hardest set of pin locations that I’ve seen since I’ve been on Tour.”
It seems the greenskeepers and superintendent pulled a Michael Jordan and took those comments personally. Today’s pin locations are some of the most difficult, diabolical, insane, and any synonym of the word crazy you can think of.

The PGA Championship’s official X account shared the pin location for Saturday’s round 3 and they are wild. Just take a look at holes 8 and 12. What a nightmare.

ESPN, one of the broadcast partners of the PGA Championship and before Saturday’s round, and Ken Brown walked the audience through the difficulty of the 8th green. “It’s a huge green. It’s like Wrigley Field, but they missed most of it,” Brown explained while walking the green and showcasing with small cones the minuscule circumference of the flat area around the hole. “I do not know how you can get close to [the hole].”

Brown went on to say that the surface area that players would be expected to hit without the ball rolling off is equivalent to a “postage stamp” comparing it to the 15th hole at Augusta National Golf Club where The Masters is held every year.
And in an unsurprising move, Rory McIlroy, who seems to love to complain any chance he can get, seemingly threw the groundskeepers under the bus after round 2 claiming, “I think a bunched leaderboard like this, I think it’s a sign of a not-great setup.”

No matter what the players think of the pin locations and overall course setup, these guys will need a little bit of good luck the rest of the way, because I don’t think the constant complaining and shade thrown will make the setup crew want to make things easier on them.

If opposition leader Kulbergs were to succeed, the cabinet would still need to be approved by the parliament.
Published On 16 May 2026
Latvian President Edgars Rinkevics has backed opposition lawmaker Andris Kulbergs to replace Evika Silina for the top job after the prime minister resigned over an incident involving Ukrainian drones.
Kulbergs, leader of the United List of smaller parties, which forms the largest opposition bloc in parliament, will take office if lawmakers approve him and his cabinet.
“Considering recent events, I think the new prime minister should come from opposition parties,” President Rinkevics told a news conference on Saturday.
Last weekend, the former Prime Minister Silina fired her defence minister, Andris Spruds, after two Ukrainian drones strayed into Latvia from Russia and exploded at an oil storage facility.
The incident is only the latest in a series of such events in NATO members Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania.
The drone incidents “clearly demonstrated that the political leadership of the defence sector has failed to fulfil its promise of safe skies over our country”, Silina said when explaining Spruds’s forced resignation.
In the following days, The Progressives party, Silina’s left-leaning coalition partner, pulled support from the government and left her without a majority. “I am resigning, but I am not giving up,” Silina said in a televised statement on Thursday, announcing her resignation.
Silina had been the prime minister since 2023.
President Rinkevics settled on Kulbergs after meeting representatives from all the parties in parliament, reported the Reuters news agency.
The president told reporters he had invited Kulbergs to form a government. If Kulbergs were to succeed, the cabinet lineup would still need to be approved by the parliament.
Kulbergs said he hoped to create an “enlarged coalition” to administer Latvia until parliamentary elections are held on October 3.
“The president has given me 10 days,” he told reporters on Saturday.
Earlier, on May 7, two Ukrainian drones flew over from Russia, with one of them crashing into a petrol depot in the east of Latvia, causing a fire that was quickly contained.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said after speaking with Rinkevics at a summit in Romania on Wednesday that he would send Ukrainian experts to Latvia to help it boost its air defences.

Tens of thousands marched through central London on Saturday at a far-right rally led by activist Tommy Robinson, with demonstrators calling for stricter immigration policies. Police carried out one of the city’s largest public order operations in years as a pro-Palestinian protest also took place in the capital.

Google your name right now. Not on a people-finder site. Not through a data broker. Just Google. Plain search bar, your full name, nothing else. What shows up in the first 10 results may make your stomach drop.
Your LinkedIn page. A Facebook profile. An address from a people-search site that Google indexed and ranked on page one. A photo from a community event you forgot you attended. A relative’s obituary that mentions your name and theirs.
You didn’t post most of it. You didn’t agree to have it all pulled together. But there it is, sitting on the first page of search results and available to anyone with a Wi-Fi connection and a few minutes to spare. That’s not just your Google search. It’s a scammer’s research session. And here’s what they do with it.
INSIDE A SCAMMER’S DAY AND HOW THEY TARGET YOU
A simple Google search can reveal personal details scammers use to make their calls, texts and emails feel more believable. (Kury “CyberGuy” Knutsson)

Before we walk through exactly what a scammer finds, take 30 seconds to run a free personal data exposure scan. It searches the sites scammers use most and shows you what’s already public: your name, address, phone number, relatives and financial signals. Most people are genuinely shocked by what comes back.

A scammer doesn’t need hacking skills or paid subscriptions to get started. They open Google, type your name, and start reading.
Within 60 seconds, the first page typically delivers:
None of this required a paid subscription. None of it required a hack. Google found it, indexed it, and ranked it, right at the top. That’s the seed. From here, everything else grows.
SCAMS THAT AREN’T ILLEGAL (BUT SHOULD BE)
People-search sites can expose addresses, relatives, phone numbers and other clues that help scammers build a profile fast. (Kurt “CyberGuy” Knutsson)
Here’s what most people don’t realize about Google: it can be used as a precision targeting tool. Scammers know how to search your name combined with your city, your employer, your relatives’ names, or specific document types, pulling up PDFs of HOA filings, church bulletins, nonprofit board minutes and medical conference attendee lists that most people have completely forgotten exist.
What they’re assembling in real time looks something like this:
That took them under five minutes. And they haven’t left Google yet.
Most people think of Google Images as a way to search for photos. Scammers use it the other way around: they search for you. When they pull up your name in Google Images, they often find photos from public Facebook posts, event sites, school directories, church newsletters, or local news, including images Google cached before you ever thought to delete them.
Once they have your face, they can cross-reference it across platforms using reverse image search. And once they find photos that tag your family members, they know exactly who belongs to whom.
Your daughter’s name, your elderly mother’s city and your grandson’s university may all show up in one search. From there, the impersonation call can come later, because the research starts here.
FTC data released in April 2026 shows how big this problem has become. In 2025, nearly 30% of people who reported losing money to a scam said it started on social media, with reported losses reaching $2.1 billion. The FTC also warns that scammers use what is in your profile to build a connection before they ask for money. That is what makes these scams feel so personal. The pitch may come later, but the research can start with a simple search of your name.
Here’s where it stops being about you and starts being about the people around you. Data broker profiles — the kind Google indexes and ranks on your first page — don’t just list you. They list your household and family network. Your elderly parent’s name and city. Your adult children’s addresses. Their phone numbers.
When a scammer sees that your 76-year-old mother lives alone in Phoenix, the target shifts. They call her. They already know your name, your voice type, and enough family detail to sound exactly like you. “Mom, it’s Patricia. I’m in trouble. I need you not to tell anyone, just help me.”
That’s not a random grandparent scam. That’s a targeted operation built from your Google results. According to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) data analyzed Internet Crime Complaint Center data analyzed by Incogni’s own research team, more than 72% of all crimes reported by Americans over 60 in 2024 were either directly facilitated or made significantly worse by the availability of personal data online. Let that sink in. More than 82,000 elder fraud complaints in a single year. Not from hacks. From Google searches and the data broker sites that Google indexes. Your mother didn’t put her information online. But yours was there, and it led them straight to her.
NEW GOOGLE TOOL MAKES REMOVING PERSONAL INFORMATION EASIER
Removing your data from broker sites makes it harder for criminals to connect the dots and target you or your family. (Kury “CyberGuy” Knutsson)
Manual research is just the first pass. Once scammers confirm you’re a viable target, they can do the same thing over and over. Tools built for legitimate cybersecurity investigators, like Maltego, can pull together what Google, LinkedIn and public records reveal about a person and show it on a relationship map. Connections, addresses, family members and employers can be assembled fast.
Criminal operations can also use automated tools to search Google, scrape public pages and check data broker platforms in huge batches. What took a careful researcher 10 minutes can now take a machine seconds.
A February 2026 congressional report estimated that identity theft tied to just four major data broker breaches cost U.S. consumers more than $20 billion. In other words, your personal information isn’t just sitting online one piece at a time. It can be collected, packaged, breached, sold and reused against people over and over again. That is how one search can turn into thousands of targets.
This is the part that surprises almost everyone.
You don’t have to post anything for this information to be online. Data brokers pull your details from:
You never signed up for Spokeo. You’ve never heard of Intelius. But your profile is almost certainly there, and Google is ranking it.
Even people who have never had a social media account in their lives have been found on the first page of their own name search. Because the source isn’t their behavior. It’s public records that have existed for decades, now digitized, indexed, and searchable in seconds.
By the time your phone rings, they know:
The call they make isn’t cold. It’s warm. It’s specific. It uses your family’s real names, your real city, details that feel like only someone who knows you could know. That’s why it works. That’s why the IC3 recorded more than $20 billion in fraud losses in 2025, a record. These aren’t clumsy scams. They’re personalized operations built on research that cost the scammer nothing. And the raw material for that research is sitting on the first page of a Google search of your name.
HOW SCAMMERS TARGET YOU EVEN WITHOUT SOCIAL MEDIA
Google has a tool called “Results About You” that lets you request the removal of certain personal information from search results. It’s worth using. But it only hides the link. It doesn’t touch the underlying data broker profile.
Anyone who knows how to go directly to Spokeo, Whitepages, or BeenVerified skips Google entirely and finds everything anyway. And data brokers refresh their databases constantly. Even if you remove your information today, it can quietly reappear within months, pulled fresh from the same public record sources.
There’s no single settings menu to turn this off. And doing it manually — finding every broker, submitting every opt-out form, rechecking every few months — takes hours. Then hours again. Then hours again when it reappears.
Before you start cleaning up data broker sites, take these two steps. They will show you what scammers can already find and help you lock down details they may try to use against you.
Google your full name. Then search your name plus your city, your phone number and the names of close family members. Screenshot what you find. That gives you a baseline of what anyone can see about you today.
If your bank still uses questions like “mother’s maiden name,” “city you were born in,” or “father’s middle name,” those answers may already be sitting on a data broker site that Google has indexed. Switch to nonsense answers only you know, and store them in a password manager. Then deal with the source. Google may be showing the results, but data brokers are often where the information lives. That’s where the next cleanup step comes in.
That’s exactly why a data removal service can help. These services send removal requests to data brokers and people-search sites on your behalf, including many of the sites Google may be ranking near the top of your name search. Some also continue monitoring those sites and resubmit requests when your information reappears. Because it often does.
You can also do this manually by going to each data broker site, finding its opt-out page and submitting a removal request yourself. The problem is that the process can take hours, and it usually has to be repeated. Data brokers refresh their databases often, which means your name, address, phone number and relatives may show up again months later.
If you use a data removal service, consider adding close family members too. The scam that starts with a Google search of your name may end with a call to your elderly parent or a text to your adult child. Protecting yourself without protecting the people around you leaves a lot of exposure.
You can also run a free exposure scan from a reputable data removal company to see where your personal information is appearing online. The key is to deal with the source. Google may be showing the results, but data brokers are often where the information lives. Check out my top picks for data removal services and get a free scan to find out if your personal information is already out on the web by visiting Cyberguy.com.
A scammer does not need to hack you to learn a lot about your life. A simple Google search can reveal enough personal details to make a fake call, text or email feel real. That is why it is worth searching your own name and seeing what comes up. Google may be showing the results, but data brokers are often where the information lives. The less scammers can find, the harder it is for them to target you or the people you love.

The lake is the ninth-deepest in the world, reaching a depth of 2,192 feet.
Zheenaliev had four professional fights, splitting them even with two wins and two losses. His debut was a victory over Vladimir Kravchuk on Sept. 23, 2017, in Fightpro’s Battle for the Belt in Moscow. Zheenaliev earned the victory with an armbar submission 2:08 into the fight.

Africa CDC concerned that outbreak of Bundibugyo strain could spread rapidly due to intense population movement.
At least 80 deaths have been reported in the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s (DRC) new Ebola disease outbreak, authorities said, as health workers race to intensify screening and contact tracing to contain the disease.
Nearly 250 suspected cases of the highly contagious haemorrhagic fever have been recorded in eastern DRC, according to the health ministry, with one death also reported in neighbouring Uganda. This has raised concerns that the disease could spread to neighbouring countries.
“The Bundibugyo strain has no vaccine, no specific treatment,” DRC’s Health Minister Samuel-Roger Kamba said on Saturday.
“This strain has a very high lethality rate, which can reach 50 percent.”
The outbreak, the country’s seventeenth, was confirmed on Friday in the northeastern province of Ituri, which borders Uganda and South Sudan. At the time, 65 suspected deaths had been confirmed; the toll was raised to 80 on Saturday.
According to Kamba, the suspected patient zero was a nurse who reported to a health facility in the provincial capital, Bunia, on April 24, with symptoms suggesting Ebola.
The disease has so far been confirmed in three health zones in Ituri, including Bunia, and the areas of Rwampara and Mongwalu, where the outbreak is concentrated.
Only 13 blood samples have been tested at the National Institute of Biomedical Research; eight tested positive for the Bundibugyo strain. The remaining five could not be analysed due to insufficient sample volume, the health minister said.
The Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) has raised concerns that the outbreak could spread rapidly, citing several factors, including the high population density of towns in Ituri and the close proximity of the affected areas to Uganda and South Sudan.
The agency also warned of the high volume of cross-border travel to and from the affected region, as well as the logistical challenges of containing the further spread of Ebola.
Medical aid groups, including Doctors Without Borders, known by its French acronym MSF, and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), are responding to the outbreak.
“The number of cases and deaths we are seeing in such a short timeframe, combined with the spread across several health zones and now across the border, is extremely concerning,” said Trish Newport, MSF emergency programme manager.
Jagan Chapagain, secretary-general of the IFRC, said, “The evolving epidemiological situation, and the risk of cross‑border spread, underscore the need for timely, coordinated and sustained action. Engaging with communities and building trust is essential to ensure people seek care early and help stop the epidemic in its tracks.”
Ebola was first identified in 1976. Three strains of the disease are responsible for the majority of outbreaks in Africa, although a vaccine exists only for the Zaire strain.
Without treatment, up to 90 percent of cases can be fatal.
The Bundibugyo strain, which is responsible for the current outbreak, was not identified until 2006.
Tens of thousands of people in Africa have contracted Ebola since it was first identified 50 years ago, while about 15,000 people have died.
For a second straight year, the Kentucky Derby champion, Golden Tempo, has opted out of the 2026 Preakness Stakes, so there won’t be a Triple Crown winner.
Rather than run in the Preakness, Golden Tempo’s connections are pointing their thoroughbred toward the Belmont Stakes at the Saratoga Racetrack next month.
The second jewel of the Triple Crown is relocating in-state (Maryland) to Laurel Park while the Preakness’s traditional track, the Pimlico Race Course, goes through renovations.

GOLDEN TEMPO TO SKIP PREAKNESS STAKES, ENDING TRIPLE CROWN BID AS TRAINER CITES LONG-TERM HEALTH
Iron Honor, the 9-2 morning-line favorite, will race 13 rivals on Laurel Park’s one-and-three-sixteenth-mile dirt track Saturday, May 16, for a $2 million purse.
While Golden Tempo’s absence shifts the Triple Crown outlook, the 14-horse field at Laurel Park offers excellent value. Here is the recommended wagering strategy for the 2026 Preakness Stakes.
Talk about a horse for the course; Taj Mahal is a perfect 3-for-3 in his career, with all three wins coming at Laurel Park. He’s run a faster Beyer speed figure and a longer distance all three times out. Taj Mahal is tied for the second-fastest “early speed” in this race and starts on the rail.

This could be a great setup for Ocelli. He is one of the three “closing” horses in this field and has run a faster Beyer in four consecutive races. If there is a “pace melt” in the Preakness, he could chase down the leaders on the final stretch.

His 94 at the Kentucky Derby is the third-fastest speed figure in this race. The Whitworth Beckman trainee proved he is fit for the longer distance when he finished third in the Kentucky Derby a few weeks ago. Ocelli looks good in training with three straight blazing-fast workouts leading into the Preakness.
A disappointing start to his 3-year-old season with two fifth-place finishes at the Grade 2 Fountain of Youth and Grade 2 Wood Memorial. But Napoleon was 2-for-2 as a 2-year-old in New York.
He broke his maiden at Saratoga with a 5.25-length win on debut, and he backed it up with a 6.5-length win at the Grade 1 Champagne at Aqueduct last year.
Napoleon’s Champagne win earned a 95 Beyer, tied for the fastest in this race. If he can regain the speed from his 2-year-old season, Napoleon can hit the board at the Preakness.
