All the others have experienced big moments — major champions in Minjee Lee, Shibuno and Saso, the Solheim Cup pressure for Andrea Lee. Nelly Korda, Rose Zhang and other big stars in women's golf were long gone from missing the cut. Saturday was different, and Minjee Lee felt that might be the case. That only lasted long enough for Minjee Lee to hole an 18-foot birdie putt on the short par-4 16th, after laying back off the tee with a 5-iron. At stake is a $2.4 million payoff to the winner, by far the largest in women's golf.

VARANASI, India, June 1, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - India's six-week election reaches its final day of voting Saturday, including in the holy city Prime Minister Narendra Modi has used as a staging post for his Hindu nationalist agenda. Modi is widely expected to win a third term in office after results are announced Tuesday, in large part due to the cultivation of his image as an aggressive champion of India's majority faith. It is one of the final cities to vote in India's gruelling election and where public support for Modi's ever-closer alignment of religion and politics burns brightest. Analysts have long expected Modi to triumph against the opposition alliance, which at no point has named an agreed candidate for prime minister. Temperatures in Varanasi were expected to peak at 44 degrees Celsius (111 degrees Fahrenheit) during Saturday's voting.
