"Obviously, I didnt hit a good drive, and I kind of I didnt smack it straight down. I kind of like swiped it back. Ive done that 50 times, and Ive never broken a club. The shaft just snapped in half, and I was surprised. I wasnt trying to break it, and I was actually surprised when I saw that because usually, if it breaks, it breaks by the neck, and it broke in the middle of the shaft.SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER WINS 2025 OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP WITH DOMINANT FINAL ROUND"I dont know, maybe the shaft had a little thing there because I didnt feel like with what I did it should have broken, but thats what it was, and then I got some good practice when I threw it."Garcias 34th-place finish was the best of the year in the major tournaments.He missed the cut at the Masters and was tied for 68th at the PGA Championship.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Former NPR CEO Vivian Schiller was more optimistic about the outlets future without federal funding on Saturday, adding that shes long felt that mixing journalism and federal funding was a "recipe for disaster.""Those of us that care about local journalism are going to help them," Schiller said on MSNBCs "The Weekend." "The fact is this is done. The money is gone. The rescission has happened. So my perspective now is lets move on."Congress successfully passed a $9 billion "rescissions package" which included approximately $1 billion in spending cuts to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting which funds PBS and NPR for the remainder of the fiscal year.RURAL NPR STATIONS DISAPPOINTED, DETERMINED TO SURVIVE AFTER RESCISSION PACKAGE ELIMINATES FEDERAL FUNDINGThough many liberal commentators and journalists have attacked the package as an infringement on the free press, Schiller argued that it could be seen as an opportunity."Look, in many cases, I have long believed that mixing journalism and federal funding is just a recipe for disaster," Schiller said. "So in many ways, I think this is an opportunity for a reset. I think the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which was a very bureaucratic organization that was, still is today, doling out that money, will go away. Lets reset. Lets come up with a new governance structure. Lets get support for those rural stations from the communities, from philanthropies and find other ways to support them."She added, "I tend to look at the bright side of life and say lets just find a better way forward, because there were problems with the former system."Fox News Digital reached out to NPR for comment.NPR WHISTLEBLOWER SAYS EMBRACE OF 'FRINGE PROGRESSIVISM' LED TO DEFUNDINGCurrent NPR CEO Katherine Maher warned staff members on Thursday, before the package was officially passed by Congress, that the outlet would expect to see significant change with the loss of funding."We are going to go through a tremendous amount of change," Maher said, adding that they would "continue pushing" until the end of the process.NPR has come under fire over the last few years by Republicans and conservative critics for pushing what they have argued was liberal bias in its reporting. Maher has repeatedly denied this.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP

One summertime fruit doesn't just offer juicy sweetness it can deliver a powerful hydration boost, support brain health and supply essential vitamins and antioxidants, experts say.Peaches, which are about 89% water, outshine their stone-fruit counterparts like plums and nectarines in terms of hydration, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). They also pack in similar antioxidant benefits with fewer calories.Watermelon and cantaloupe top the charts for highest water content, but peaches follow closely behind, according to the USDA.TWO OF THESE FRUITS A DAY CAN BOOST GUT HEALTH, FIGHT CANCER RISK, DOCTOR SAYSFruits that hydrate while also providing electrolytes can help the body better replace and retain fluids than water alone, research shows.The fuzzy fruits offer several electrolytes, plus many other nutrients."Peaches are rich in fiber, vitamin C and potassium," Vandana Sheth, a Los Angeles-based registered dietitian nutritionist, told Fox News Digital."All of these nutrients help support digestion, heart health and immunity."TROPICAL FRUIT COULD BE THE ANSWER TO BETTER HEART HEALTH, RESEARCHERS SUGGESTA medium raw peach contains about 285 milligrams of potassium, an essential mineral and electrolyte that plays a critical role in nerve function, muscle contraction, fluid balance, heart health and blood pressure management.That's more potassium than many popular electrolyte supplements and about 8.4% of the daily recommended intake for men and 11% recommended for women, according to the National Institutes of Health.Most U.S. residents consume too little potassium which increases their risk of cardiovascular disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERPeaches are also heart-healthy options thanks to their antioxidant content.They contain flavonoids, which help lower the risk of heart disease and support memory and cognition, and carotenoids, which can help fight inflammation and protect and restore skin.Early studies have indicated that the antioxidants can have potential anti-cancer effects, Sheth said.The flavonoids and carotenoids also give peaches their distinct color.For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyle"Peaches combine two groups of pigments that you don't often see together in other fruits and vegetables," Mary Ann Lila, a distinguished professor in the Plants for Human Health Institute at North Carolina State University, told The New York Times.Raw peaches with their skin also provide about 4% of the recommended daily amount of vitamin A and 13% of the daily vitamin C needed, plus a few grams of fiber to aid digestion and gut health, Sheth said.For those trying to limit sugar intake, pairing peaches which contain up to 13 grams of natural sugar with protein or healthy fats is key.This approach helps slow down sugar absorption and stabilizes blood sugar levels, added Sheth, who's also a certified diabetes care and education specialist."You can add chopped peaches to your morning toast with nut butter or into your cereal or yogurt bowl, blend it into a smoothie or try grilling peaches with a sprinkle of spice," she recommended.

Recent studies confirm what many clinicians, myself included, have quietly observed for years: Liberals especially young liberals are reporting worse mental health than their conservative peers. Statistician Nate Silvers Substack recently spotlighted this disparity, and while many factors are at play, one explanation remains oddly absent from the national conversation: the psychological cost of cutting people off over politics.In my work as a clinical psychologist, Ive watched this pattern unfold in real time. Some clients describe rising anxiety, loneliness and a growing sense of disconnection but they dont initially trace it back to politics. Only after reflection do they realize: theyve quietly (or, in some cases quite loudly and proudly) distanced themselves from family, ended friendships, or withdrawn from romantic prospects not because of mistreatment, but because of political disagreement.As I was researching for my upcoming book Can I Say That? Why Free Speech Matters and How to Use It Fearlessly, I noticed a striking pattern what I now call "The Five Ds": defriending, declining to date, disinviting, decreasing contact and outright dropping someone over political views. These behaviors are often framed as moral stands. But when practiced habitually, they can degrade the very relationships we rely on for emotional well-being. Research backs this up liberals are statistically more likely than conservatives to engage in the Five Ds over political differences.FORMER OBAMA SPEECHWRITER ADMITS SHUNNING CONSERVATIVE IN HIS FAMILY WAS A MISTAKEThe cost is real. The U.S. surgeon general has declared loneliness a public health crisis, linking it to depression, anxiety and even physical health problems. Social support is a powerful protective factor it helps regulate emotions, buffer stress and reinforce a persons sense of meaning and connection. As social creatures, humans rely on relationships to regulate stress. When those bonds are cut over politics especially through the habitual use of the Five Ds liberals may be isolating themselves in ways that make them more vulnerable to loneliness, anxiety and diminished emotional regulation.Some do this in the name of safety, seeing opposing views as threatening. But this is a dangerous shift. Conflating disagreement with danger undermines mental health and shrinks our capacity for dialogue. Even The New York Times recently published an essay titled "Is It Time to Stop Snubbing Your Right-Wing Family?" in which former Obama speechwriter David Litt wrestles with whether to stay in contact with his conservative brother-in-law. To his credit, Litt expresses openness to reconnecting. But his tone is hesitant, not declarative. DANGEROUS OR AN OPPORTUNITY? SOCIAL MEDIA AS VENUE FOR DISCUSSING POLITICS DEBATED BY YOUNG CONSERVATIVESThe piece reads less like someone awakening to the dangers of ideological cutoffs and more like someone reluctantly conceding a grudge. That this question whether to maintain ties with family was posed at all in a national newspaper shows how far the goalposts have shifted. Ostracizing loved ones over votes once seemed extreme. Now its mainstream content.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONThis mindset of seeing opposing views as intolerable, or even threatening, isnt just common its increasingly celebrated, even when it harms us. The phrase "words are violence" may feel righteous, but taken literally, it breeds anxiety and isolation. When we view differing viewpoints as threats, we push people away not because we must, but because weve convinced ourselves we should. The result? Were lonelier and more brittle than ever.None of this is to say that all relationships must be preserved. Boundaries are important. But ideological purging done habitually and reflexively is something different. It's corrosive. Ironically, conservatives often caricatured as emotionally rigid may be faring better precisely because they are less likely to sever ties over politics. Their emotional well-being may benefit from tolerating disagreement and maintaining bonds across divides.THE SOLUTION TO OUR POLITICAL DIVIDE IS WITHIN EACH OF USAs a psychologist, I dont believe political ideology is destiny. But relational habits shape mental health. When we cut off those closest to us, even over serious disagreement, we deprive ourselves of a key buffer against emotional distress. Whats worse, we often do so under the illusion that the cutoff is virtuous.The solution is not to avoid politics. Its to resist the reflex to cut and run. That begins with a simple mindset shift: disagreement isnt danger, and tension doesnt always mean toxicity. We can learn to talk through our differences even when its hard.Mental health and free speech are more connected than people realize. If we want to feel less anxious, less isolated and more connected, we need to rethink the social costs of ideological purity. The Five Ds may feel righteous in the moment but the long-term cost to our mental health may be far too high.

For the Dallas Cowboys and their fans, its the Super Bowl or bust each season.The Cowboys havent made an NFC Championship Game, let alone a Super Bowl, since the 1995 season. Dallas has only made it as far as the divisional round and have been ousted seven times. The team was eliminated in the wild card round six times.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMThe 2025 season is really no different. The Cowboys enter with high expectations with a healthy organization behind Dak Prescott. The team has a new coach in Brian Schottenheimer on the sidelines in his first season as head coach.Cowboys offensive lineman Tyler Smith said the Super Bowl expectations remain the same."Super Bowl champions," he told reporters in California before training camp began, via ESPN. "That's always the expectation."CHIEFS STAR RASHEE RICE WILL PARTICIPATE FULLY IN TRAINING CAMP DESPITE LOOMING SUSPENSION, ANDY REID SAYSSmith doubled down, saying it was a "realistic goal" and had no reason to question the belief. He pointed to the addition of wide receiver George Pickens and the selection of offensive lineman Tyler Booker to back up his claim."I think we built a great core on offense; the addition of George and all the other key piece," he added. "I think drafting Booker (in the first round), he's going to be a hell of a guy just to bolster the front line. And we have many guys across the board, but those are some of the guys who are the key pieces on what we do this year."Dallas managed to go 7-10 last season despite Prescotts injury.However, with the team healthy, theyve proved to be capable of winning the NFC East. Its only going to get more difficult as the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl last season and the Washington Commanders appeared to be a real championship threat.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Former President Joe Biden suspended his re-election bid one year ago Monday, in an unprecedented move that ended his more than 50-year career in politics and rocked the Democratic Party, with those on the left still reeling from the impact.On July 21, 2024, days after President Donald Trump accepted the GOP nomination, Biden ended his re-election campaign amid mounting pressure from within his own party.FLASHBACK: BIDEN ENDS BID FOR SECOND TERM IN WHITE HOUSE AS HE DROPS OUT OF HIS 2024 REMATCH WITH TRUMPThe unprecedented announcement came as an increasing number of Democrat lawmakers had started to publicly call for Biden to step aside, and the party's leadership reportedly was engaged in efforts to convince Biden, then 81 years old, he could not win the November 2024 general election against Trump.Doubts about Bidens viability at the top of the Democratic Party's 2024 ticket began seeping out into the mainstream after his halting delivery and awkward answers were placed on full display for a national audience during the June 2024 presidential debatewith Trumpin Atlanta.The performance sparked widespread panic among Democrats and almost immediately spurred calls from political pundits, editorial writers and some party donors for Biden to step aside as the party's 2024 standard-bearer.As Biden struggled to regain his footing, an increasing number of House Democrats publicly urged the president to end his re-election bid.Biden huddled with worried Democrats, including governors and congressional leaders, in the wake of thedebate debacle andwas also engaged in "working the phones," according to campaign officials.Biden began the week of his withdrawal in a defiant posture, telling congressional Democrats he was committed to campaigning against and beating Trump. Biden also urged lawmakers to stop focusing on the debate and end the calls for his withdrawal pleas that he said only helped Trump.Biden followed that up with a call with members of the Congressional Black Caucus and also gained the support of members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.EXCLUSIVE: WHITE HOUSE INVESTIGATING BIDEN USE OF AUTOPEN IN SPRAWLING PROBE OF INCOMPETENT AND SENILE FORMER PRESIDENTHowever, concerns mounted and intensified. Democratic lawmakers met behind closed doors hoping to come to a consensus and support the president, but some were hesitant.The Biden campaign met with Senate Democrats on Capitol Hill and, for days, the White House, the Biden campaign and the president himself said Biden had no intention of dropping out of the race.Then-White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre had told reporters that the president was "absolutely not" considering dropping out.Additionally, Quentin Fulks, the principal deputy Biden campaign manager, emphasized that "the president is in this race to win it. He is the Democratic nominee."On the day after the presidential debate, Biden acknowledged at a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, "I know Im not a young man, to state the obvious."Upon suspending his campaign, Biden quickly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to take his spot at the top of the ticket. She received the partys presidential nominee weeks later at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago.Months later, Trump defeated Harris in a stunning, landslide victory, sweeping all swing states and delivering him a win in not only the Electoral College, but the popular vote as well.The Democratic Party is still grappling with Bidens withdrawal a year later, looking for a new standard-bearer, while the former president and his team fall under investigation by both the executive and legislative branches.In May, leaked audio from Bidens interview with former special counsel Robert Hur showed the president struggling with key memories, including when his son Beau died, when he left the vice presidency, why he had classified documents he shouldn't have had and more.The audio was leaked after more than a year of congressional lawmakers demanding its release amid questions about the former presidents memory lapses and mental acuity.Meanwhile, the White House Counsels Office and the Justice Department are probing Bidens use of the autopen and whether signatures were printed at his direction or at the discretion of his senior staff.An autopen is a machine that physically holds a pen and features programming to imitate a persons signature. Unlike a stamp or a digitized print of a signature, the autopen has the capability to hold various types of pens, from a ballpoint to a permanent marker, according to descriptions of autopen machines available for purchase.Biden used the autopen to sign a slew of documents while in office. He also used the autopen to sign final pardons, including preemptive pardons for members of his family, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Gen. Mark Milley and members and staff of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riots. He only signed one pardon by hand, for his son Hunter, after vowing to the American people for months he would not do so.In his final weeks in office, Biden granted clemency and pardoned more than 1,500 individuals, in what the White House described at the time as the largest single-day act of clemency by a U.S. president.Over on Capitol Hill, the House Oversight Committee is probing a cover-up of Bidens declining mental health, subpoenaing a number of former Biden officials for testimony and the Senate Subcomittee on Investigations is requesting NARA records relating to Biden's declining mental and physical health.Fox News' Paul Steinhauser contributed to this report.

"Superman" director James Gunn remarked on Friday that hed want to see whats considered "woke" in his movie after facing backlash for some of his comments on the film."I've heard people say it was woke, and then I've heard a lot of people say it's not," Gunn told Entertainment Weekly. "I am curious as to what in the movie is considered woke."Gunn recalled the original interview for the "London newspaper" The Sunday Times when he said that "Superman is the story of America," describing it as "an immigrant that came from other places and populated the country."ORIGINAL 'SUPERMAN' ACTOR SAYS CHARACTER SHOULD BE USED TO 'BRING BACK THE AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE'Gunn said that the reporter was the one who first remarked that Superman co-creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster were the sons of immigrants and that the character was written as an immigrant story."I said, yeah, it's a story about an immigrant, but mostly it's a story to me about kindness, which it is. That's the center of the movie for me," Gunn said.He added, "That's the thing we can all act upon, is kindness. And so what does that lead to? Well, does that lead to the way you vote? Sure. Does that lead to everything? Yeah. Does it lead to how many people are dying from road rage? Yes. All those things are affected if people just start to value kindness. I mean, people did value kindness in the past. That was an American value, was kindness, and it doesn't necessarily seem to be that way to me anymore. So that was always the center of the movie for me, and it wasn't about anything other than that."The character, first introduced in 1938, was born from the imagination of writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster in Cleveland, Ohio. In the comics, Superman is the sole survivor of the planet Krypton, sent to Earth by his parents as their world faced destruction.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREGunn faced backlash for his original comments, which were made just days before his "Superman" movie was released on July 11 and at the height of national discussion on the ongoing immigration raids throughout the country.In the same interview with The Sunday Times, he emphasized that his movie was about politics but that it was mostly about kindness and morality."And obviously, there will be jerks out there who are just not kind and will take it as offensive just because it is about kindness. But screw them," Gunn remarked.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP
