Prom Meesawat competes in a tournament this month. (Asian tour x photo) CHEONAN: Thai star Jazz Janewattananond famously won the Kolon Korea Open in 2019, during his four-victory season when he topped the Asian Tour Order of Merit, but apart from that, Woo Jeong Hills Country Club, the event's regular home since 2003, has been a notoriously tough nut to crack for the best non-Koreans on the circuit. In the two editions of the Korea Open since the Asian Tour started co-sanctioning the event again in 2018, after a hiatus since 2008 and a two-year break during the Covid-19 pandemic, only six non-Korean born players have finished in the top 10, and nine inside the top 20. One of these players is Thailand's Prom Meesawat -- a proven winner in South Korea having claimed the SK Telecom Open at Sky 72 in Incheon back in 2006. Prom, who finished tied 10th at Woo Jeong Hills in 2019, thinks he knows why playing in Korea is more difficult than other countries. "To play well in Korea, … [Read more...] about Patience key at Woo Jeong Hills: Prom

Listen to this article Known as the Gold Star, and contended by the V8-powered S5000 series, the title was set to be decided at the Sandown round of the Motorsport Australia Championships in September. However a decision has been taken to take Sandown off the schedule, which means the 2022 Australian Drivers' Champion will be crowned at Hidden Valley instead. Joey Mawson is currently in the box seat to score a second consecutive Gold Star title. The move comes after just eight cars turned out for last weekend's round at Sydney Motorsport Park. According to S5000 officials the decision to cut the Gold Star season short is to allow teams to focus on the standalone Tasman Series, which will take place across the Gold Coast 500 and Bathurst International meetings in October and November. Adding a third high-profile event to the Tasman Series is also being investigated. “Following feedback gathered from teams, we’ve elected to make these changes to the schedule in order … [Read more...] about S5000 Gold Star season cut short

Listen to this article The Winward Racing driver only missed out on a podium on Sunday when he was passed on the final lap by Marco Wittmann ’s BMW, which marked a dramatic turnaround from Saturday’s race when Maro Engel in the best-placed Mercedes-AMG GT3 only finished tenth. All Mercedes drivers had been given a 20kg weight deduction prior to the opening race, after Auer had topped the AMG contingent in qualifying in ninth, but the limited passing opportunities around the Imola circuit meant this had limited effect and the Austrian retired while running outside the points due to fading brakes. The BoP was adjusted again prior to qualifying on Sunday, with 25kg added to the Audi and Lamborghini cars, as Engel’s Gruppe M car earned fourth on the grid. Auer qualified four places further back, but moved into contention following a rapid safety car restart that sprung him ahead of Engel, Luca Stolz and Wittmann. He then ran side-by-side with Felipe Fraga ’s Ferrari … [Read more...] about Auer: Restart, not BoP tweak, key in Mercedes’ Imola DTM turnaround

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 21 PARIS (AP) — Flowers, art, and Dior’s world-famous ateliers collided on Friday for a sweet-smelling explosion of creativity. The house's Paris Fashion Week show was an homage to late British painter Duncan Grant and celebrated member of London’s Bloomsbury Group, who died in 1978. VIP guests gawped as they entered a DIOR-branded tent to discover the makeshift country vista — replete with about 19,000 real poppies, wildflowers and flora planted on hills beside two reconstructed English country houses. All this for the 10 minute fashion show. The set was, of course, intended to evoke Grant's rolling landscapes. There were almost as many famous faces on display as flowers. David Beckham and son Cruz, Naomi Campbell, J Balvin, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel were among the … [Read more...] about Stars turn out for Dior’s 19,000 blooms at Paris show

Shifting political winds during the U.S. November mid-term elections could spell trouble for automakers' hopes of getting billions of dollars in consumer tax credits that would help the United States compete with Chinese and European rivals. General Motors Co, Ford Motor Co, Chrysler-parent Stellantis NV and Toyota Motor Corp have pledged to invest more than $170 billion through 2030 to bolster EV development, production and sales. Automakers are making a furious last-ditch effort to convince Congress to approve an extension of EV incentives before Republicans, who are largely opposed to doling out EV subsidies, could potentially take over both houses of Congress next year. Without those incentives, particularly an extension of a $7,500 EV purchase tax credit, the U.S. auto industry will fall behind on the Biden administration's goal of 50% EV sales by 2030, auto executives, lawmakers and consultants say. That would put the United States, which is already trailing Europe and … [Read more...] about Electric Automakers Make Last-Ditch Plea For More Tax Credits Before U.S. Election

No goodbye Lenin: A bust of the Bolshevik leader survived the collapse of the Soviet Union in a Russian enclave on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen. BARENTSBURG (SVALBARD): Russian flags flap in the stiff polar breeze, a bust of Lenin looms out of the snow and a vast slogan declares, "Communism is our goal!" No, this is not some time warp Soviet settlement lost in the Arctic wastes, but a corner of Norway where Moscow can -- theoretically at least -- mine, build, drill and fish what it likes. Welcome to Spitsbergen, the largest island of the Svalbard archipelago and "NATO's Achilles heel in the Arctic". These spectacular islands of glaciers and mountain peaks halfway between Norway and the North Pole are a strategic and economic bridgehead not just for Moscow but also for Beijing. All because of one of the most bizarre and little-understood international treaties ever concluded, which gives Norway sovereignty but allows the citizens of 46 countries to exploit the islands' … [Read more...] about Russia and China eye NATO’s ‘Arctic Achilles heel’

WASHINGTON -- The historic overturning of Roe v. Wade met with an outpouring of joy and rage on Friday, as street demonstrations that began outside the Supreme Court after the decades-old guarantee of abortion access was struck down spread through the nation's capital and to cities across the United States. Thousands of abortion rights supporters gathered in downtown Washington to assail the court's ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, as other marches to protest the decision unfolded in cities including New York, Chicago, Nashville, San Francisco and Los Angeles. After the leak of a draft of the opinion last month, few were surprised. But many were still in shock. The scene outside the court in the immediate wake of the Dobbs ruling captured Americans' wildly divergent reactions to a watershed moment in one of the nation's bitterest debates. Antiabortion activists brimmed with joy at a long-sought legal victory while supporters of abortion rights voiced fury … [Read more...] about Demonstrations erupt at Supreme Court, spread nationally as Roe falls

Romelu Lukaku has endured a difficult second spell at Chelsea LONDON - Romelu Lukaku arrived at Chelsea heralding his move as a dream come true, but less than a year later the Belgian striker is set to rejoin Inter Milan as one of the most expensive flops in Premier League history. Lukaku was hailed as the final piece of Thomas Tuchel's Chelsea jigsaw when he was signed from Inter Milan for a club record pound sterling97.5 million ($119 million) last August. But everything that could go wrong did go wrong for the 29-year-old in his disastrous second spell with the Blues. Lukaku's stock has fallen so far that Tuchel has cut ties with the former Manchester United and Everton player after only one season. Inter are expected to confirm his return to the San Siro shortly, having negotiated a reported eight-million-euro ($8.4 million) loan fee for Lukaku. Lukaku is believed to have taken a pay cut such is his desire to leave Stamford Bridge at all costs. He ended the season as … [Read more...] about Tantrums and tactics turned Lukaku’s Chelsea dream into a nightmare
