Aditi, starting on the back nine, had a rough run from 14th to 18th with three bogeys and then had one more bogey on the second to go 4-over.

Playing golf in wind is no easy proposition — even for the best in the world. Here are four strategies LPGA pros use in blustery conditions.

“So just kind of had to think a little bit more about club selection.” The wind makes your margin for error smaller, so you should make your targets smaller, too. “I think you have to change your expectations more than anything,” Stacy Lewis says. So I think I was just bit more forgiveness to myself.” Some players will try to hold their shots into the wind on every hole, but this requires supreme control of your ball. Any spin on the ball is exacerbated, your distance control is a crap shoot and even [putting gets more tricky.](https://golf.com/instruction/private-golf-lessons-make-windy-putting-a-breeze/) When the forecast calls for wind, you can expect scores to balloon as a result.

A five-time Solheim Cup player, Hull is nearly six years removed from her lone LPGA Tour win at the CME Group Championship. Hull finished with two birdies and was at 11-under 131.

Good or bad shot, at the end of the day it is just a game. But Hull didn’t take a break from golf; in fact, she spent most of her time on the range with friends and family. “Played a lot of golf with my mate, Charles, and I got my confidence up. “I don't practice it as much as I should, so I've been doing like two hours each day and just trying to fix it.” Hull shot a whopping 7-under, 64, the best round of the tournament so far, with eight birdies and just one bogey to card her fifth straight round in the 60s. “I actually can’t really remember much of my round because I was so focused,” Hull said.

The rookie lost a 4-2 decision to Smyly and the Cubs in the Field of Dreams game in his only previous outing against Chicago. Pujols' homer tied the game in the bottom of the inning, and the Cardinals moved ahead 2-1 in the fifth inning on singles by Donovan, Goldschmidt and Arenado. The 38-year-old signal-caller hasn’t thrown for more than 255 yards in a game this year, and the Packers don’t pose much of a threat vertically with just two receivers with a reception of 40 yards or more, prompting one NFL analyst to suggest Green Bay could bolster its receiver group with a premier name. The Cubs held the opposition to two runs or fewer in nine of past the 17 games, including the last four in a row. He was not rewarded for six innings of one-run pitching in his last outing on Sunday against the Milwaukee Brewers, a game the Reds won 2-1 with a tie-breaking run in the eighth. That seems a much wiser idea than trying to rush Prescott back for the "slim chance" that's being reported that he'll be ready in Week 5; the last thing you want to do is rush him back too early, have him either aggravate the injury or play poorly because of it, and then you really do have a quarterback controversy. As the NFL tweeted out, Cooper Rush is the first undrafted quarterback to win each of his first three NFL starts and throw for 750-plus yards in those starts since Kurt Warner in 1999. Along with Allen’s extension, they also signed Samuel Montembeault to a two year contract with a $1 million cap hit after he played the starter’s role in Allen’s absence, and locked up restricted free agent Cayden Primeau to a three year deal with a $890,000 cap hit after he got into 12 games with all of the injuries in 2021-22. Any question, anywhere, that the Cowboys have a legitimate quarterback controversy at this point isn't just putting the horse before the cart; the horse is a foal and the cart just a gleam in the carpenter's eye. The Cowboys would be much happier keeping his throws short and accurate, and they're not going to take away the aids of play-action and quick passes any time soon — Rush has the second-quickest time to throw in the league, at 2.5 seconds per Next Gen Stats, as the Cowboys are setting him up with a lot of "throw to your first look or throw it away" sorts of plays. you change the course every week and then you have to adjust yourself to the course every week as well," Thitikul said. The 19-year-old won last week's Walmart NW Arkansas Championship and is in position to contend for her third victory of the season.
