Members of the committee are listed as Paul K. Strauss, Gregory D. Howard, Dennis Jay Sargent, Kathy Lynn Sargent and Marsha Nagy Whitton. According to the documents, the mandamus asks the Meigs County Commissioners to certify the petition that was brought to the Board of Elections in a timely manner. According to a legal deﬁnition, a mandamus is “a writ or order from a court or superior jurisdiction that commands an inferior tribunal, corporation or municipal corporation, or individual to perform, or refrain from performing, a particular act, the performance or omission of which is required by law as an obligation.” The ﬁling comes after a July 14 special meeting in which the commissioners took no action regarding the petition initiative from the committee. According to Meigs County Commissioner Randy Smith, the motion died during the July 14 meeting because the Board of Elections was to provide the commissioners a certiﬁcation of both the signatures and the validity of the petition itself, along with a report. This information was to be delivered to the commissioners no later than 120 days before the general election, which would’ve been July 6. Smith said that on July 2, the commissioners received a letter from Director Becky Johnston and Deputy Director Meghan Lee. The letter told the commissioners that the petition had been ﬁled with the Meigs County Board of Elections on June 24, and that at least 567 signatures (the minimum required amount) on the petition were valid. However, according to Ohio Revised Code 307.95, the Board of Elections, and not the deputy director and director, must send the certiﬁcations and report to the commissioners. Smith said a letter was sent back the same day, July 2, to inform the Board of Elections of this. According to the commissioners and the Meigs County Home Rule Committee, the Board of Elections had a special meeting July 13 and sent the commissioners the certiﬁcations and report the same day. From there, the commissioners had until 4 p.m. July 15 to pass a resolution for the petition. During their 11 a.m. July 14 meeting, the motion died for lack of a second because the Board of Elections turned in their certiﬁcations and report to the commissioners a week after it was due, which would have been July 6 — 120 days before the general election, according to the Ohio Revised Code. The mandamus states on page three that all three commissioners are being “sued in their ofﬁcial capacities.” Reach Lindsay Kriz at 740-992-2155 EXT. 2555.

Other mayors hail from the developing world: Libreville, Gabon; Siquirres, Costa Rica and Kochi, India. Experts have long said that cities are key to reducing global warming since urban areas account for nearly three-quarters of human emissions.

Many conservatives have rejected or dismissed the encyclical as ﬂawed and irresponsible: Even the pope’s ﬁnancial czar, Cardinal George Pell, a perceived climate skeptic, has said the church has no business pronouncing on matters of science. But the Vatican has pressed ahead to create a broad coalition to promote the message, part of Francis’ belief that grass-roots movements and non-traditional players are key to changing the global system. EDITOR’S NOTE WASHINGTON — Medicare says its comAn occasional look behind the rhetoric of puterized fraud prevenpoliticians and public tion system worked like officials. a cybercharm last year, identifying $454 million in problematic payments and generating a ﬁnancial return for the taxpayer of $10 for every dollar spent. But you can’t take that to the bank: Most of the savings claimed by the Obama administration are unlikely to be realized, the Health and Human Services inspector general’s ofﬁce said in its own recent analysis. A more realistic estimate, the department’s watchdog said, is that $133.2 million in bogus payments may be recovered or stopped before money goes out. That would put the actual return to taxpayers at about $3 per dollar spent. That return-on-investment calculation is based on the cost of operating Medicare’s high-tech Fraud Prevention System, now in its fourth year. The huge difference between the numbers is because the administration takes credit for all problem payments identiﬁed by the system. The inspector general doesn’t dispute the bigger number but calls it “unadjusted,” and only gives credit for payments likely to be recovered or stopped. The higher estimate of $454 million includes actual and projected savings that “may not be recovered,” said the inspector general’s report. The lower estimate of $133 million represents savings that “reasonably can be expected,” based on historical patterns. Such caveats haven’t dampened the administration’s exuberance. “Very few investments have a 10-to-1 return on taxpayer money,” acting Medicare Administrator Andy Slavitt said in a celebratory statement touting the larger ﬁgure. A former tech executive, Slavitt has been nominated by President Barack Obama to be administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which runs health insurance programs for more than 100 million U.S. residents. Fraud costs the health care system tens of billions of dollars each year, and countering it is a top priority. The fraud prevention computer system was meant to elevate Medicare’s game, putting it in the same league as major credit card companies that can freeze accounts proactively. It’s not the ﬁrst time there’s been less than meets the eye to upbeat health care numbers from the Obama administration. Last year, ofﬁcials acknowledged they had overcounted the number of people signed up for private insurance under the Affordable Care Act. That discrepancy was uncovered by Republican investigators for the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee as they scrutinized sign-up spreadsheets. “I don’t think there’s anybody misleading the public,” Shantanu Agrawal, Medicare’s director of program integrity, said of the fraud prevention numbers. The administration’s higher ﬁgure also serves as an indicator of the system’s preventive potential, he said. The anti-fraud system “is more than paying for itself and is showing improvement year over year,” Agrawal said. But the inspector general also raised questions about whether Medicare’s computer system is getting more credit than it is due for some investigations. The audit cited a case in which other sources had already identiﬁed service providers whose billing patterns appeared suspicious. Then, the computer system came up with an additional two providers linked to that investigation. Medicare identiﬁed a total of $16 million in potential savings or recoveries overall. The high-tech system got credit for the entire amount. Medicare pays more than 4 million claims a day, worth about $1 billion. Partly because of a congressional mandate to pay promptly, the agency has often been steps behind the fraudsters, a self-defeating situation that investigators call “pay and chase.” That seems to be changing, with stronger, more coordinated enforcement and heavier penalties.

AT RIGHT, the 1869 Cincinnati Red Stockings Base Ball Team uses the same board that was used during 1869 games. Festival From Page 1 According to the latest inﬂation data, the value of 25 cents in 1869 is equivalent to roughly $5 in 2015. It is in this setting that the game was played as faithfully as possible to 1869 rules and customs that include bare-handed ﬁelding, and uniforms and equipment made as accurately as possible to the standards of the era. Vintage baseball was played with rules used during the Civil War. An Ohio State Harmonica Competition saw competitors playing myriad songs for the title of champion, which ultimately went to Danny Gajovski, of North Benton, Ohio. A car show also took place outside the middle school, with older and newer cars each vying for top picks. The winners are as follows: The Top 15 are: Jerry Hill, with a 1955 Chevy Bel Air, Gene Whaley, with a 1958 350 Chevy, Kevin Horthhorn, with a 1936 Dodge Truck, Paul Crumb, with a 1969 Chevy Camaro, Mike and Marie Johnson, with a 1931 Ford Roadster, Larry Collins, with a 1969 Plymouth 340, Calvin Wilson, with a 1950 Chevy Truck, Clint and Aimee Harthorne, with a 1965 Plymouth Valiant, Janet Hively, with a 1970 Chrysler Newport, Greg Russell, with a 1968 Plymouth GTX, David Hively, with a 1996 Pontiac Sunﬁre, Dave and Terry Shane, 1985 Pontiac Fiero, Dick and Charlotte Wamsley, with 1966 Corvette, Hanna Batten, with a 1981 Chevy Camino and Jay Jones, with a 1966 Chevy Chevelle. The D.J. Choice was Steve Buskirk with a 1963 VW Beetle, Kids’ Choice was Mike and Jerry Hart with a 1957 Bel Air, Sheriff’s Choice was Mary Mansﬁeld, with a 1965 Mercury Comet, Commissioners’ Choice was Stanley Houks, with a 1968 Chevy Camaro SS, Judges’ Choice was Jeffrey Hill, with a 1969 Ford Mustang, Doctors’ Choice was Danny Brown, with a 1950 Pontiac Silver Streak, Fireman’s Choice was Roger and Rita Cook, with a 1972 Chevy C-10, Entertainer’s Choice was Mike Walker, with a 1968 Chevy Chevelle, Best Motorcycle was Greg King, with a 2002 Harley Springer, Car Club Attendance came from the New Haven Road Angels and lastly, the Best of Show went to Gerry Hupp, with a 1958 Jaguar XK150.

From Page 1 United States for 19- and 20-year-old men. In 1990, a beneﬁt concert took place in Germany at the site of the fallen Berlin Wall; the concert, which drew some 200,000 people, was headlined by Roger Waters, a founder of Pink Floyd. (The concert ended with the collapse of a mock Berlin Wall made of styrofoam.) Ten years ago: The House voted to extend the USA Patriot Act. Two weeks after the deadly London terror bombings, small explosions struck the Underground and a bus, but no deaths resulted. Two Algerian diplomats and their driver were abducted in Baghdad; al-Qaida later announced it had killed the diplomats. Sudanese security ofﬁcers roughed up members of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice’s entourage; Rice demanded, and got, an apology. Five years ago: A triumphant President Barack Obama signed into law the most sweeping overhaul of U.S. lending and high ﬁnance rules since the 1930s. Today’s Birthdays: Singer Kay Starr is 93.

Scopes found guilty of violating state law for teaching Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. (The conviction was later overturned on a technicality.) On this date: In 1773, Pope Clement XIV issued an order suppressing the Society of Jesus, or Jesuits. (The Society was restored by Pope Pius VII in 1814.) In 1861, during the Civil War, the ﬁrst Battle of Bull Run was fought at Manassas, Virginia, resulting in a Confederate victory. In 1930, President Herbert Hoover signed an executive order establishing the Veterans Administration (later the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs). In 1944, American forces landed on Guam during World War II, capturing it from the Japanese some three weeks later. The Democratic national convention in Chicago nominated Sen. Harry S. Truman to be vice president. In 1949, the U.S. Senate ratiﬁed the North Atlantic Treaty. In 1955, during a summit in Geneva, President Dwight D. Eisenhower presented his “open skies” proposal under which the U.S. and the Soviet Union would trade information on each other’s military facilities and allow aerial reconnaisance. (The Soviets rejected the proposal.) In 1959, the NS Savannah, the ﬁrst nuclear-powered merchant ship, was christened by ﬁrst lady Mamie Eisenhower at Camden, New Jersey. In 1961, Capt. Virgil “Gus” Grissom became the second American to rocket into a sub-orbital pattern around the Earth, ﬂying aboard the Liberty Bell 7. In 1972, the Irish Republican Army carried out 22 bombings in Belfast, Northern Ireland, killing nine people and injuring 130 in what became known as “Bloody Friday.” In 1973, Israeli agents in Lillehammer, Norway, killed Ahmed Bouchikhi, a Moroccan waiter, in a case of mistaken identity, apparently thinking he was an ofﬁcial with Black September, the group that attacked Israel’s delegation at the 1972 Munich Olympics and killed 11 athletes.

See BRIEFS | 10 AP Photo/Jim Cole Kyle Busch celebrates at the finish line After winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup series auto race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway Sunday, July 19, 2015, in Loudon, N.H. Kyle Busch races to 3rd win of year LOUDON, N.H. (AP) — Stuck in a hospital, Kyle Busch could only think about a comeback, not championship contention. Could Busch imagine, days after a horriﬁc crash, he would become a title contender? “Yeah, right,” he said. “You’re crazy.” Nothing seems preposterous these days for Busch, whose dormant-to-dominant run over the last two months has not only made him a regular in victory lane, but steamrolled him toward the cusp of a Chase berth. Busch rolled on Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, winning for the second straight weekend and the third time in the last four NASCAR Sprint Cup races. “This is something I’m not sure we ever would have expected,” Busch said. Busch isn’t where he needs to be in the standings quite yet. His three wins are certainly enough to earn a Chase for the Sprint Cup championship berth. He’s still outside the top 30 in points, which is the second major qualiﬁer to race for the title in the ﬁnal 10 races of the season. Busch won at Sonoma Raceway and last week at Kentucky Speedway and is 33rd in the standings, 58 points behind David Gilliland for 30th. Cole Whitt is 31st and Brett Mofﬁtt 32nd, easy pickings for Busch. “I’m not sure we’ve unleashed the beast at all,” Busch said. Busch broke his right leg and left foot in a crash the day before the season-opening Daytona 500. He missed the ﬁrst 11 races of the season, then returned in late May determined to earn a playoff spot. Busch, who last won at New Hampshire in July 2006, said Friday he still is bothered by the leg injuries. The aches hardly seemed to matter in the No. 18 Toyota. “We’ve got to keep doing our deal,” Busch said. “Every week it keeps getting better and better.” Busch has gained 70 points on the 30th spot over the last two races and is not only a threat to qualify for the Chase — but to win it all for Joe Gibbs Racing should he crack the 16-driver ﬁeld. “Ever since that injury, he’s been on it,” Gibbs said. “I don’t know what (the deﬁcit is) now but it’s sure helping.” With Busch in the ﬁeld or not, JGR has three other contenders in Carl Edwards, Denny Hamlin and Matt Kenseth. Kenseth ﬁnished sixth, Edwards started from the pole and was seventh, and Hamlin 14th. JGR took four of the top-ﬁve spots at Kentucky. Busch won and Hamlin-Edwards-Kenseth went 3-4-5. “I think we’re certainly back, closer,” Gibbs said. “I don’t know that we’ve turned the corner.” NASCAR granted Busch a waiver upon his return that made him Chase eligible, should he qualify. He has seven races left to crack the top 30 before the Chase opens Sept. 20 at Chicagoland Speedway. Busch had one of his best performances in his comeback, rallying from a lap down to win. Busch, who led 95 laps, stayed out during a late pit stop to take the lead from contenders Brad Keselowski and enseth. Keselowski was second, followed by Kevin Harvick, Joey Logano and Dale Earnhardt Jr. Keselowski led a race-high 101 laps and his No. 2 Ford appeared the car to beat, leaving him clearly irked at losing the lead with 48 laps left. How tough would it be to beat Busch in the Chase? “He’s good,” Keselowski grumbled, “but we’re a good team and I feel like we can beat him.” Crew chief Adam Stevens, in his ﬁrst season calling the shots in Cup for JGR, made all the right choices to keep Busch in contention for the win and a crack at the top 30. “I don’t have any fears of being able to close that gap,” Stevens said. Busch was joined by son Brexton, born in late May, in victory lane wearing a No. 18 outﬁt. He should have borrowed his son’s bibs for the winner’s 21-pound lobster he was awarded in victory lane. He also made it 12 different winners at the last 12 New Hampshire races, the longest active streak at any track without a multiple-race winner in NASCAR. On a day with temperatures soaring into the 90s, Matt DiBendendetto and Michael Annett were treated after the race at the NASCAR care center. “This is one of the warmest days I can remember in this part of the country,” Busch said. �CLASSIFIEDS Daily Sentinel Tuesday, July 21, 2015 7 Miscellaneous Home Improvements Business & Trade School Apartments/Townhouses Houses For Rent Professional Services BASEMENT WATERPROOFING Unconditional Lifetime Guarantee.

They don’t even make them anymore!” The Giant-Alpecin rider was apologetic. He said he had wanted to brake but his ﬁnger slipped. “I was very frightened,” Barguil said. “I didn’t do it on purpose.” Having clambered out of the bushes, Thomas remounted his bike. “Then the mechanic came with the other one, so I jumped on that,” he said. “Probably wasted a few seconds.” To be exact, 38 seconds. That’s how much time he lost on the stage to Froome and other podium contenders. Froome understandably didn’t hang around to see if his teammate was OK. Froome, after all, has a Tour to win, while Thomas is just his support rider. Still, the crash is a setback to Thomas’ chances of joining Froome on the podium in Paris. At the start of the stage, Thomas was 4 minutes and 54 seconds behind his Team Sky leader. Now he is 5:32 back, still in sixth place overall. Froome’s closest rival remains Nairo Quintana, trailing by 3:10. Last year’s champion, Vincenzo Nibali, clawed back a few seconds by riding away from Froome’s group on the last climb. But the Italian is still 7:49 off the lead, in eighth place. Still, it could have been worse for Thomas. It was on this descent in 2003 that Lance Armstrong ﬂew off a bend into a ﬁeld and Joseba Beloki’s wheels slipped on melting tarmac, throwing him to the deck and breaking bones.

RVs/Campers BALTIMORE — DaMarcus Beasley was content with his December decision to retire from the U.S. national team. “I have a 16-month-old daughter now, Lia, and I wanted to watch her grow,” the 33-year-old defender said. “If I had went to that January camp, if I wouldn’t have retired, I would have missed her ﬁrst steps. And those are things that I didn’t want to miss.” Now he’s back with the Americans, who play Jamaica on Wednesday in Atlanta for a berth in the CONCACAF Gold Cup ﬁnal. U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann called him last month, when the U.S. was in Europe for exhibitions at the Netherlands and Germany. “He left me voice mail. I ﬁgured it was just about, how you doing? What’s going on?” Beasley said one afternoon at the team hotel in Baltimore. “I didn’t think I would ever receive that call, but it’s a call that deﬁnitely was exciting.” In his second season with Major League Soccer’s Houston Dynamo, he had hoped to get away for a day to visit one of the Beasley National Soccer School’s camps in Indiana, Ohio or Michigan. Instead, he reported for the knockout rounds after Klinsmann added him to the roster along with forward Alan Gordon and midﬁelder Joe Corona. Beasley used FaceTime on the bus back from the practice ﬁeld Friday to keep in touch with some of his campers. “I asked them who they wanted to see that was on the bus,” he explained. “Obviously, Michael Bradley. They want to see Clint Dempsey. They want to see Kyle Beckerman. They love the Rasta hair. They got on FaceTime and talked to the kids.” Born in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Beasley won the Silver Ball as the U.S. ﬁnished fourth at the 1999 FIFA Under-17 World Championship, where Landon Donovan was selected top player. He made his national team debut and went on to score 17 goals in 121 international appearances and become the ﬁrst American to play in four World Cups. At the club level, he was the ﬁrst American to reach the European Champions League semiﬁnals, with PSV Eindhoven against AC Milan in 2005. “DaMarcus has been on the national team forever, and as soon as he walks in the room demands instant respect,” goalkeeper Brad Guzan said. “All the boys, they love when he’s in, obviously.” Beasley won Gold Cup titles in 2002, ‘05, 07 and ‘13 and is hoping to add a ﬁfth this week. He did not play in Saturday’s 6-0 rout of Cuba because of a calf injury. Players say his energy and smile are infectious. “Maybe not the biggest talker, but when he has something to say, he says it, and guys listen,” American captain Bradley said. “When he walks in the door, it’s a lift for everybody. We can always use his quality on the ﬁeld, in terms of on the left side, whether it’s as a left back, as a left midﬁelder. His speed, his quickness and his football — he has a football brain.” A speedy midﬁelder for most of his career, Beasley had not played left back for the national team in four years before he was inserted there by Klinsmann for the Snow Clasico World Cup qualiﬁer against Costa Rica in March 2013. If Beasley starts at left back in the Gold Cup, Klinsmann could shift Fabian Johnson to right back or move Johnson to midﬁeld. “The last like probably four years, I played every game like it was my last,” Beasley said. “The way I train, the way I go about the games, my whole mindset is that I play every one like it’s my last.” Klinsmann wanted Beasley’s arrival to shake up the younger players.

DR_16461_3x3.5 �SPORTS 10 Tuesday, July 21, 2015 Bowlsby doesn’t believe Big 12 disadvantaged DALLAS (AP) — Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby believes the conference has to be constantly improving after getting left out of the ﬁrst College Football Playoff. That doesn’t necessarily mean making the 10-team league bigger through expansion. “We have to recruit better. We have to develop better. We have to play better,” Bowlsby said Monday in his annual address to open football media days. “We have to win the big games when we have a chance to win the big games.” But Bowlsby doesn’t see the league at any real disadvantage with only 10 teams, despite Oklahoma President David Boren suggesting in the last month that the Big 12 is “psychologically disadvantaged” as the smallest of the ﬁve power conferences and should strive to again have 12 teams. It would be the presidents and chancellors - not Bowlsby or the athletic directors - who would make any ultimate decisions on possible expansion. Johnson From Page 6 “Up and down for a playoff,” was the last thing Spieth said to caddie Michael Greller from about 90 yards away. It was too far right and quite hard enough, and it rolled to the edge of the Valley of Sin short of the green. His birdie attempt up the slope stayed inches left of the cup, and he tapped in for a 69. “We gave it a great effort,” Spieth said. At least he was in elite company. Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods — the three biggest names in golf over “My belief is at this point, the majority of them feel like we ought to be at 10 and stay there,” Bowlsby said. “At the present time, I don’t think there’s critical mass for expansion. It will continue to be a topic about which we spend at least a little time at every meeting talking about it,” he said. “But until that majority shifts, it’s a purely academic conversation.” The Big 12, going into its ﬁfth season since reducing from 12 to 10 teams, is the only one of the ﬁve power conferences with a full round-robin schedule and no championship game. While Bowlsby expects future deregulation to allow the possibility of a championship game, he believes the round-robin schedule is still the best way to determine the league champion. Plus, a new tiebreaker procedure has been put in place after Baylor and TCU were declared co-champions last season — and both one-loss teams got left out of the playoffs. the last 50 years — were the only other players to capture the Masters and U.S. Open in a bid to sweep the four professional majors in the same year. All came up short in the British Open. Spieth was the only one who had a share of the lead so deep in the ﬁnal round. “I’m going to go home and reﬂect,” Spieth said. “It won’t hurt too bad. It’s not like I really lost it on the last hole, and 17 was brutally challenging. I just didn’t hit a great putt there, and I just picked the wrong wedge out of the bag on 18. I made a lot of the right decisions down the stretch and certainly closed plenty of tournaments out.

It’s hard to do that every single time. “I won’t beat myself up too bad, because I do understand that.” It took a superlative effort from Johnson, who now has two majors among his 12 PGA Tour victories, an astounding record and a reminder that a good wedge game and a putter can still go a long way in this era of power. Johnson was in tears when he was interviewed off the green. “I’m grateful. I’m humbled. I’m honored,” Johnson said. “This is the birthplace of the game, and that jug means so much in sports.” On a tense afternoon of shadows and showers on the Old Course, Johnson closed with a 6-under 66. He was the ﬁrst in at 15-under 273. Leishman, who considered giving up golf in April when his wife nearly died of a rare respiratory illness, fell out of the lead with a bogey on the 16th hole. He had a birdie putt for the win on the 18th that was wide left and gave him a 66. Oosthuizen made a 10-foot par putt on No. 17 to stay one shot behind, and he delivered a clutch moment of his own with a wedge to 5 feet for birdie and a 69 to join the playoff. It was the ﬁrst British Open playoff since Stewart Cink beat Tom Watson at Turnberry in 2009, and the ﬁrst involving more than two players since 2002 at Muirﬁeld, the year Woods failed in his bid for the third leg of the slam. Johnson matched Oosthuizen’s birdie on the ﬁrst hole and pulled ahead with another birdie on No. 2. Both made bogey on the 17th — Oosthuizen by missing a 5-foot putt to tie Johnson — and the South African had one last chance. Oosthuizen, who won the British Open when it last was at St. Andrews in 2010, had a 12-foot birdie putt to force sudden death. It touched the left side of the cup and kept going, and Johnson was introduced as the “champion golfer of the year.” Spieth showed guts over the ﬁnal two hours, and class when his bid was over. He stuck around to hug Johnson before he walked over to get his trophy. Just two weeks ago, Spieth went to Iowa to take part in a charity event for Johnson before playing — and winning — the John Deere Classic. He was questioned for not coming over to St. Andrews to prepare for a rare occasion of attempting the Grand Slam. Spieth put that to rest with a performance that kept him around the lead all week. It was the ﬁrst British Open to end on Monday since 1988 because of a brief rain delay Friday morning and 10½-hour wind delay on Saturday. But what a show. With 14 players separated by three shots, no one seized control the entire day. Eight players had at least a share of the lead at one point. Most of them fell away. Spieth kept a golﬁng nation in suspense until the very end. Now, he goes to the PGA Championship with a tiny piece of history left to chase.

Woods in 2000 and Ben Hogan in 1953 are the only other players to win three majors in a year, and no one has ever swept the three American majors. At 21, he can only hope he gets another shot at the slam. Palmer, Nicklaus and Woods never did. FINAL ROUND AT A GLANCE ST. ANDREWS, Scotland (AP) — A glance at the final round Monday of the British Open on the Old Course at St. Andrews: Winner: Zach Johnson, who beat Marc Leishman and Louis Oosthuizen in a playoff. All three finished at 15-under 273. Grand Slam dashed: Jordan Spieth missed a par putt on No. 17 and couldn’t birdie the final hole to miss the playoff. It cost him a shot at his third straight major championship. Noteworthy: This was Johnson’s second major championship. He won the Masters in 2007; Leishman tied a British Open record by scoring 130 over the last 36 holes. It was last done by Anders Forsbrand at Turnberry in 1994. Quoteworthy: “I don’t know how many guys have done three majors in a year. I’m sure there’s only been a few.” — Jordan Spieth on his attempt at a third major at the PGA Championship at Whistling Straits.
