She’s a really good quality player,” Spain coach Jorge Vilda said. “We’re going to do our best to help he...American Express profit rises, but it sets aside more money for possible defaults

TRAVIS SMYTH ACES 17TH HOLEHOYLAKE, England (AP) — Australian Travis Smyth has aced the 17th hole at the British Open.Smyth hit a high 9-iron tee shot that bounced twice before going in the picturesque hole that played 132 yards long on Friday.There was a huge roar from the crowd, and Smyth raised his right arm to celebrate as his caddie and playing partners came over to congratulate him. It was the first hole-in-one at Hoylake this week.The 17th was redesigned to add drama to the Open at Royal Liverpool this year, challenging players with an elevated green well protected by steep slopes and deep bunkers.

He finished his round at 1-over 72 and was at 8 over for the tournament, unlikely to make the cut.___WHAT TO KNOW— A day of surprises at British Open.— South African amateur Christo Lamprecht is a big man with a bi...Interpublic: Q2 Earnings Snapshot
