Aldrich Potgieter showed his ability to shoot low Friday in the Mexico Open, powering and putting his way to a 10-under 61 that gave the big-hitting South African a four-shot lead going into the weekend at Vidanta Vallarta.

In her case, she’s showing the change forced upon her documentation by Donald Trump’s State department. Hunter Schafer attends the “Kinds Of Kindness” Red Carpet at the 77th annual Cannes Film Festival at Palais…

Trump signed an order his first day in office directing federal agencies to terminate all “equity-related” grants or contracts. He signed a follow-up order requiring federal contractors to certify that they don’t promote DEI. The White House…
