The mass resignation of engineers, data scientists, designers and product managers is a temporary setback for Musk and the Republican president’s
Rickie Fowler never threatened the co-leaders, either, starting slowly and ending his fading hopes with a 7 on the par-5 11th. Fowler, who entered ranked 127th after being in the top 25 as recently as early 2024, shot 74.The 29-year-old Griffin teamed with Andrew Novak, who finished 6 under at Colonial, for the victory at the Zurich Classic in New Orleans last month. They left openings for others then, just as Griffin did Sunday.
Griffin and Schmid took a four-shot lead into the final round, and stayed 1-2 despite both finishing over par for the day.Schmid had six bogeys and a double bogey to go with six birdies, while Griffin had four bogeys after opening with an eagle and a birdie.“No lead is ever safe on the PGA Tour,” Griffin said. “It can feel like a tournament’s done. Maybe if it’s Scottie Scheffler with a five-shot lead, it’s done. I was trying to keep the pedal down. I kept hitting a lot of drivers, kept trying to give myself birdie putts. I just didn’t give myself a lot of birdie putts.”
Griffin hit just four of 14 fairways and seven of 18 greens but made consecutive testy par putts on the back nine, the first on the par-4 14th leaving him with a three-shot lead when Schmid missed a shorter putt for par.Schmid got within one by hitting his tee shot inside 3 feet at the par-3 16th before Griffin missed a par putt. The momentum swung again on the next hole when Griffin saved par from behind a tree in the fairway and Schmid curiously aimed away from the hole with his ball plugged in a bunker, ended up in the rough and made bogey.
“The only two places were right of the green or long left, and I think then I would have had to chip up and over,” Schmid said. “I think the up-and-down was a little more straightforward. At that point I just tried to make a five, and thankfully I did it.”
Then he made things interesting on the final hole., which spotlights the key numbers leading our coverage.
The findings were published Tuesday in the journal Nature Communications.Researchers have debated how the hobbits – named Homo floresiensis after the remote Indonesian island of Flores – evolved to be so small and where they fall in the human evolutionary story. They’re thought to be among the last early human species to go extinct.
Scientists don’t yet know whether the hobbits shrank from an earlier, taller human species called Homo erectus that lived in the area, or from an even more primitive human predecessor. More research – and fossils – are needed to pin down the hobbits’ place in human evolution, said Matt Tocheri, an anthropologist at Canada’s Lakehead University.“This question remains unanswered and will continue to be a focus of research for some time to come,” Tocheri, who was not involved with the research, said in an email.
