No Comments on Wyndham Clark wins the 2023 U.S. Open

29-year-old Wyndham Clark earned his first major championship on Sunday with a win at the U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club. The Colorado native rebounded from back-to-back bogeys at Nos. 15 and 16 with two pars to win at 10 under par, one shot ahead of Rory McIlroy three in front of Scottie Scheffler.

Clark and Rickie Fowler began the day tied for the lead at 10 under. Scottie Scheffler, the No. 1 player in the Official World Golf Ranking, began the day three back but two bogeys ended his run. Cameron Smith shot a Sunday 67 to finish fourth while Tommy Fleetwood shot another final-round 63 in a U.S. Open to finish fifth.

Clark won for the first time on the PGA Tour just last month at the Wells Fargo Championship. He’s the fifth straight player to become a first-time major champion at the U.S. Open.

No Comments on Pete Davidson charged with reckless driving after crash in Beverly Hills in March

“Saturday Night Live” alum Pete Davidson has been charged with one misdemeanor count of reckless driving after authorities said he crashed a car into a Beverly Hills home back in March.

According to news outlets, the crash occurred in the late night hours of March 4 in a residential neighborhood. Beverly Hills police confirmed that Davidson’s girlfriend, Chase Sui Wonders, was also in the vehicle and that Davidson had struck a fire hydrant in the crash.

The Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office confirmed the charges, without elaborating on details: “We believe that Mr. Davidson engaged in reckless driving, which ultimately resulted in his involvement in a serious collision into a home,” the statement read. “Luckily, no one was seriously injured as a result of this collision.” A reckless driving charge can carry a sentence of up to 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine in Los Angeles. The DA’s office said in its statement: “In 2022, traffic fatalities in Los Angeles have reached the highest levels seen in 20 years This is an alarming trend that we cannot ignore. As a result, it’s crucial that we take all allegations of reckless driving seriously and hold those responsible accountable.” Davidson’s arraignment is set for July 27.

No Comments on Kourtney Kardashian announces pregnancy with Travis Barker at Blink-182 concert

Reality TV star Kourtney Kardashian announced that she is expecting her fourth child with a handwritten sign that she displayed as her husband, Travis Barker, performed on stage at the Blink-182 concert in Los Angeles Friday night.

Kardashian, 44, and Barker, 47, shared a video of the moment on Instagram early Saturday morning, showing Barker leaving the stage to find her in the audience and embrace her. The simple sign read “Travis I’m Pregnant” in black capital letters; and appeared to be a reference to a Blink-182 music video where a fan held up the same sign as Barker walks past. Multiple fans pointed out the similarities between the two signs, with one posting the two clips alongside each other.

This will be Kardashian and Barker’s first child together. The couple started dating in 2021 and married the following year. Kardashian shares sons Mason Dash, 13, and Reign Aston, 8, as well as daughter Penelope Scotland, 10, with her ex-boyfriend Scott Disick. Barker and his ex-wife Shanna Moakler share son Landon, 19, daughter Alabama, 17 and stepdaughter Atiana Cecelia De La Hoya, 24, Moakler’s child from a previous relationship.
