The 2018 winner at Augusta carded 11 birdies in his sizzling 11 under par third round to go 18 under overall on the prestigious Asian Tour event. Sub-60 rounds are extremely rare in golf. There have been just over a dozen on the US PGA Tour and there had been none on the Asian Tour until earlier this year. Preferred lies were played so Reed’s feat does not stand officially. Reed’s scorching round at Fanling was the lowest score ever at the Hong Kong Open, Asia’s oldest professional golf tournament, trumping a 60 by Ian Poulter in 2010. “I had probably one of my worst warm-ups ever,” Reed, 34, who is among a number of big-name players to have jumped ship to the Saudi-backed LIV Golf circuit, told reporters. “I looked at my caddie and he said, ‘Hey, a warm-up’s a warm-up. Let’s go out and just play golf. Some of your best rounds have come from a poor warm-up.’” The American started with a blistering five birdies in a row and rattled off four more on the trot to finish with a flurry. “I honestly felt it could have been lower,” he added. In March, Reed’s then-playing partner and fellow American John Catlin carded a 59 at the International Series Macau for the first sub-60 round on the Asian Tour.No. 24 Illinois stuns Rutgers on Bryant's 40-yard TD reception with 4 seconds left

Kerala: Congress MLA Uma Thomas in ICU after falling 15 ft at Kochi's Jawahar Lal Nehru StadiumTHE UK's filthiest pubs have been revealed with one in 40 boozers across the country failing food hygiene ratings. Food Standards Agency data reveals that one in 40 drinking establishments are operating with substandard hygiene ratings. Some venues were even found to have rotting food and rodent droppings. Among the failing venues, dozens received the lowest possible rating of zero, requiring urgent improvements to their food safety standards. Inspectors discovered unsafe food storage practices and serious cleanliness concerns during their visits to these establishments. In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, food establishments are rated on a scale from zero to five, with any score below two falling short of minimum standards. Read More in Money The rating system focuses on food handling, storage practices, facility cleanliness and overall food safety management. Birmingham tops the list of areas with failing venues, with 26 bars and restaurants falling below required food safety standards. Cornwall , Powys and Wiltshire follow as the regions with the next highest numbers of substandard establishments. In London , Ealing emerges as the borough with the worst record, where 15 bars and restaurants failed to meet appropriate hygiene standards. Most read in Money Waltham Forest has raised particular concerns, recording the highest number of zero-rated bars and pubs in the country, with four establishments receiving the lowest possible rating. East Lindsey, Doncaster and Cornwall also showed concerning patterns, each having multiple venues with zero ratings. The Food Standards Agency emphasises that these ratings represent a "snapshot" of hygiene standards and do not assess food quality, customer service or presentation. These geographical patterns highlight widespread food safety issues across both urban and rural areas of Britain. The alarming figures come as Brits prepare for one of the busiest periods in the hospitality calendar, with millions expected to visit their local establishments between now and New Year's Eve. Meanwhile, Scotland operates differently, using a simpler pass or fail system for its venues. Local authorities are tasked with inspecting businesses in their area at least every two years, though staffing challenges have hindered this process. Inspectors specifically look for issues such as unsafe food storage, cleanliness violations and proper food handling procedures during their visits. Of the failing establishments outside Scotland , 584 venues received a rating of two, indicating improvements are necessary. A further 445 establishments scored just one point, signalling that major improvements are required to meet basic hygiene standards. Most concerning are the 43 venues that received zero ratings, the lowest possible score, where urgent improvement is deemed necessary by inspectors. In Scotland, where a different grading system is used, 224 pubs , bars and nightclubs were rated as "Improvement Required". READ MORE SUN STORIES These figures stand in stark contrast to the majority of establishments, with nearly 33,700 bars, pubs and clubs across England , Wales and Northern Ireland achieving the maximum rating of five. An additional 7,766 venues scored four points on the hygiene scale.

ATLANTA (AP) — Even the woeful NFC South, where no team has a winning record, can't hide the Atlanta Falcons' offensive shortcomings. Three straight setbacks, including an ugly 17-13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, has left the Falcons 6-6 and feeling the pressure. Only a tiebreaker advantage over Tampa Bay has kept the Falcons atop the division. Now the Falcons must prepare to visit streaking Minnesota, which has won five straight . Veteran defensive tackle Grady Jarrett knows the Falcons must solve the flaws which have been exposed in the losing streak. “It’s now or never,” Jarrett said. “You have to flip the mindset fast.” Kirk Cousins threw four interceptions in the loss, matching his career high. Coach Raheem Morris said he didn't consider playing rookie Michael Penix Jr. against the Chargers and won't think about benching Cousins this week. Morris acknowledged the Falcons can't expect to win when turning the ball over four times. It was the latest example of Atlanta's offensive decline. In the three-game losing streak, Cousins has thrown six interceptions with no touchdowns. The Falcons were held under 20 points in each loss. What’s working If not for the rash of interceptions which has contributed to the scoring problems, more attention would be devoted to the surge of big plays on defense. The defense forced two fumbles and set a season high with five sacks, including two by Arnold Ebiketie. The Falcons ranked last in the league with only 10 sacks before finding success with their pass rush against Justin Herbert. Herbert was forced to hold the ball while looking for an open receiver, so some credit for the pass-rush success belongs to Atlanta's secondary. The Falcons gave up only two first downs in the second half and 187 yards for the game. What needs help Cousins, 36, was expected to be the reliable leader on offense after he signed a four-year, $180 million contract. The four interceptions were his most since 2014 with Washington. Cousins now will be in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons as he returns to Minnesota, his NFL home from 2018-23. Cousins has thrown 13 interceptions, one shy of his career high set in 2022. His passer rating of 90.8 is his lowest since his 86.4 mark as a part-time starter in 2014 with Washington. “Certainly when you haven’t played at the standard you want to a few weeks in a row, you know, you do want to change that, turn it around,” Cousins said. Stock up Running back Bijan Robinson had his busiest day of the season, perhaps in an attempt to take heat off Cousins. Robinson's 26 carries set a career high. He ran for 102 yards with a touchdown, his third 100-yard game of the season. He also was heavily involved as a receiver with six catches for 33 yards. With 135 yards from scrimmage, Robinson has eight games this season with more than 100 yards combined as a rusher and receiver, the second-most in the league. Stock down Tight end Kyle Pitts had no catches on only two targets. He has only six catches in the last four games after appearing to establish momentum for a big season with two seven-catch games in a span of three weeks in October. Morris noted the Falcons have “so many people that we've got to get the ball to” but noted he'd like to see Pitts more involved. Injuries Younghoe Koo's hip issues were such a concern that kicker Riley Patterson was signed to the practice squad on Friday and added to the active roster Saturday. Patterson was on the inactive list as Koo was good on two of three field goals, missing from 35 yards. Koo has made 21 of 29 attempts this season. He did not have more than five misses in any of his first five seasons with Atlanta. Key number 70 — WR Drake London had nine receptions for 86 yards, giving him 70 catches for the season. London, a 2022 first-round draft pick, is the first player in team history with at least 65 receptions in each of his first three seasons. While Ray-Ray McCloud III led the team with a career-best 95 yards on four catches against the Chargers and Darnell Mooney has had some big games, London has been the most consistent receiver. Next steps The Falcons face a difficult test Sunday in their visit to Minnesota (10-2), which has five straight wins and is 5-1 at home. ___ AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl Charles Odum, The Associated Press

Ottawa shoppers head to the malls for Cyber Monday dealsBy 2029, the total global spend for digital identity verification checks will spike by 74 percent to reach $26 billion, according to a new report from Juniper Research. With set to transform the digital economy in the EU, West Europe is forecasted to spend a substantial chunk on ID verification, as is China and the far east; each account for nearly a quarter of total spend. North America is likewise a healthy market. Pegged at $15.2 billion in 2024, the industry will grow as innovation finds new ways to reduce friction in checks, with behavioral biometrics flagged as a key enabling technology. The , “Three Technologies Enhancing the Digital ID Verification Experience,” predicts that behavioral biometrics will “detect anomalous user behaviour for device inputs such as keystrokes and screen swipes to identify fraudsters, enabling identity verification vendors to detect fraudulent activity earlier and more efficiently.” But it also emphasizes that “to create a more user friendly and efficient situation” and attain the best results in digital identity verification, three key technologies need to be combined or used in tandem: , facial recognition and . Passive liveness in particular, enhances the frictionless user experience during digital identity verification. The report notes the ongoing evolution of biometric technology: “biometrics is not standing still, with several emerging methods adding new capabilities that can be leveraged across different scenarios.” A couple focus on the eyeballs, namely and retina scans, both of which Juniper says have particular potential as fraudsters develop better spoofing and against facial recognition systems. Handprints, the report dismisses as a fading tech, forecasting that “there will only be limited growth in the use of handprint recognition technology, unless there is a significant change in its usability.” And while has limited implementation, it is “an extremely secure verification method.” Juniper says blockchain-based technologies driving self-sovereign principles will enhance the security of identity verification in highly-regulated sectors such as and financial services. Data sovereignty, minimal necessary data sharing and user control will all play a role in how identity verification develops. So will standards. “The ‘electronic Identification, Authentication, and trust Services’ (eIDAS) regulation is ushering in massive change in the EU, with interoperable being offered to all citizens by May 2026,” the report notes. “The research recommends that vendors adhere to digital identity standards by working with decentralised databases to maximise the security and privacy of user information.” | | | | | |
