James Piot rides confidence into Masters Tournament debut
On the 18th at the Golf Club of Georgia, James Piot felt the nerves settle back in. Holding a stroke over Laird Shepherd after winning two of the last four holes, he watched his shot fall and came to a bitter, sinking realization on a sunny Georgia afternoon.
“I hit it in the worst spot possible on the green,” he said last Monday via Zoom.
Walking to the green, a member told the fifth-year senior golfer in passing that that was the spot to hit it on the 564-yard par 5 about 20 feet away from the cup. Piot politely refrained from voicing his flat disagreement with the member and sidled over to his lie to think things over.
“I was sitting over that putt thinking, ‘If I hit this within ten feet of the hole, it’ll be phenomenal,’” he said.
But whatever happens, happens, right?
So Piot gave it a firm tap, looking for the right break. Hands on his hips, he watched the ball lurch forward down the funnel, roll and roll and roll … and settle about a foot from the cup. The crowd laughed and cheered. And a sigh of relief ended up bringing some more confidence for what lay ahead.
“I could’ve put a bucket of balls there, hit that putt a billion times and not done that,” he said.
That shot was about a week-and-a-half ago when things didn't seem just as real. Today, Piot tees off in the first round of the Masters Tournament, golf’s premier major and the biggest tournament of his life, at 10:45 a.m. with reigning champion Hideki Matsuyama and former PGA Tour Player of the Year Justin Thomas in his group.
China warns US over planned Pelosi trip to Taiwan
China sent a warning to the U.S. against Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) visiting Taiwan.
News outlets in Japan and Taiwan were reporting on Thursday that Pelosi would make a trip to Taiwan in the near future, Bloomberg reported.
If she does visit the democratically run island, it would be the first time the Speaker of the House has traveled to Taiwan since 1997.
Pelosi’s office and Taiwanese officials have not confirmed the reports, but the suggestion has sparked condemnation from China.
“If the United States insists on having its own way, China will take strong measures in response to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity. All possible consequences that arise from this will completely be borne by the U.S. side,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said, Reuters reported.
Lijian emphasized that China opposes all official contact between the U.S. and Taiwan, as Beijing claims sovereignty over the island. Taipei, however, rejects that claim and has governed the island separately from the mainland for decades.
Concerns have been raised recently about China’s stance on Taiwan in light of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which some have suggested could inspire China to take Taiwan by force.
Chipotle, Taco Bell, Moe’s have Burrito Day deals, free food Thursday, which also is National Beer Day
Whether you’re a beer or burrito fan, your day has arrived.
Thursday is National Burrito Day, and Mexican chains are going the whole enchilada and passing along hot deals that include buy-one-get-one and discounted entrees. The made-up food holiday is held on the first Thursday of April each year.
But this year, it’s also National Beer Day, which is annually held on April 7, and one of many days to celebrate the beverage.
On April 7, 1933, a federal law went into effect allowing the sale of beer containing less than 3.2% alcohol, the first legal alcohol allowed since Prohibition began in 1919.
''Burrito Day free food and deals''
Here are the deals available at participating locations Thursday. To be on the safe side, check with your closest location before heading out. Some offers will require you to have a restaurant’s app or be signed up for emails.
