Dustin Johnson"s Best Golf Shots 2017 Farmers Insurance PGA Tournament
With his win at the Genesis Open on Sunday, Dustin Johnson rose to No. 1 in the Official World Golf Rankings for the first time in his career. Johnson is the 20th golfer to be ranked No. 1 since the OWGR started back in 1986. He overtakes Jason Day who had held the spot for 47 consecutive weeks and 51 overall.
Johnson has a long way to go to catch the all-time leader in weeks at No. 1. Tiger Woods was ranked No. 1 in the OWGR for 683 total weeks including runs of 264 weeks and 281 weeks consecutively in the early and mid-2000s.
Greg Norman is No. 2 on the all-time list at 331 weeks. There have only been 10 golfers who have occupied the No. 1 spot since 2000. I listed them in order of first appearance. Woods has dwarfed pretty much everyone else on this list.
though. After winning three times last season including his first major championship, he has finished in the top 10 in two of three tournaments this year before getting the win this week. He previously had five top-five finishes at this tournament without a win.
Day, who has held the top spot for nearly a year now and is No. 7 on the all-time list in weeks at No. 1, had some advice for the newly-minted No. 1 player.
I think hes going to do just fine, said now-former No. 1 Day. Hes won every single year that hes been out here. Thats a formula. Whatever hes doing he just needs to keep doing. If he keeps playing the way hes been playing, we have to all pick our games up to try and compete against him. Hes playing some really good golf.
A young man from Enon, Miss., was released early from a 10-year prison sentence he was serving for the shooting death of his little brother. 60 Minutes reports this Sunday that Zac Stringer, who was 15 when he shot his brother, has been insisting for years that the rifle went off without his finger on the trigger. Stringer, now 20, was granted a good behavior release while 60 Minutes was investigating the Remington 700 rifle used in the shooting. The gun has a trigger mechanism called the X-Mark Pro that has since been recalled by the company, because it can inadvertently discharge.
remington has received hundreds of complaints that rifles with this trigger produced between 2006 and April 2014 have fired without the trigger pulled. This information was not public during Stringers trial. Lesley Stahls report includes Stringers father, Roger, who had testified against his son during his trial, but now believes hes innocent. It will be broadcast on 60 Minutes Sunday, Feb. 19 at 7 p.m. ET/PT.
Evensome celebrities have found spas to be incredibly awkward. Especially when fans are involved.
In an interview on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert Wednesday,Orphan Black starTatiana Maslany recalled a particularly weirdmoment while among a group of n***d women at a spa.
"We"re all n***d," she said. "We"re all in a cold plunge, which is like freezing polar water that you have to sit in for a minute. You go into the sauna, then you go into the hot plunge, then you go into the cold plunge. I was like freezing and holding my body and [this woman] was like, "Uh, are you that Orphan girl?" I was like, "[shivering] Oh yes, yes I am," and she"s like, "I heard that show"s really weird.""
"I was like, "Yeah." She"s like, "I haven"t seen it." I was like, "Oh, that"s fine, no worries," like, covering my like, shriveling body parts," she said. "It was horrible."

Jason Bateman In a 2016 interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the actor recalled a scary spa story.
He said his wife coaxed him to go get a facial. When he arrived at the spa, a female worker told him to get undressed, put on a robe and get into a hot tub. He sat there in the immensely hot water, after whichthe womanturnedoff the bubbles and started scrubbing him with loofa gloves and soap. She then hosed him off with ice water and told him to meet her in a massage room.
"I get out, I start to towel off and I"m starting to feel terrible. I"m starting to really see spots now and I"m feeling nauseous, totally lightheaded, because I"ve lost a great deal of water. She"s boiled me like a clam," Bateman said. "I go down and I take a knee, because I feel like the lights might go out and I want to get closer to the ground. I see a chair in the corner. I start to shimmy over there on my knees, and that"s the last I remember.Now I"m done. I"m out. I"m completely dehydrated and I"m unconscious."
The actor said he woke up nakedon the chair, with a small towel draped across his genitals.
"There"s cold water being poured on me from three Eastern European women now saying, "G*d is great! Thanks, G*d! He"s still alive." And there"s seven paramedics around me," he said. "I was unresponsive for seven minutes."

They asked me to put a shirt on before I went upstairs because they thought if the manager saw thewelts on my body that they"d be fired."

Thats a question that also lingers in Dianes story. At the beginning of the episode, we see her decide to retire from the firm she created, buy a villa and start a new life. At her lavish retirement party, she even jokes, Its good to be wanted. Colleagues compliment her legacy by offering her positions at their firms, should she ever decide to return to work.
But after losing her money in the ponzi scheme, it becomes clear to her just how fickle her connections and friendships are in the face of tragedy. Shes broke, going through a difficult separation, and the firm that bears her name wont welcome her back. Baranski expertly explores the cracks in Dianes carefully curated facade without making her into a spectacle; the stakes at this point in her life may be even higher than those Maia faces. When Adrian Boseman (Delroy Lindo) offers her a place to land, its a chance for Diane to rescue the legacy shes spent decades building.
Its also a chance for her to rescue her protgs career, and despite the fallout from the Ponzi scheme, Diane sympathizes with Maias position and convinces Boseman to take her on, too. Maias start is hardly auspicious. But after being accosted at work by an angry man who says he lost his money because of her father, she finds an unlikely ally in Lucca Quinn (Cush Jumbo). Lucca was on the opposing team during the police brutality case and seems only mildly intrigued by Maias presence at best. But he was instrumental behind the scenes in getting Diane into the firm, and hence, in getting Maia in the door as well.
Lucca also gives a crying Maia some important advice that will ring true for many women. When they see you cry it makes them happy, she says, adding, Keep your head down and keep working.
Of The Good Fights three leads, Maia is set up to have the grandest arc. But its Lucca who proves the most fascinating. Shes steely and cunning with a presence that magnetizes, even if she is not the focal point of a scene. Cush Jumbo doesnt get the best material of the premiere but she leaves the biggest impression. Diane and Maia are both mired in the painful process of shifting their sense of self, given how much their identities are tied to the work they do. But its the identity politics Lucca must navigate as a black woman that will likely provide The Good Fight its richest material.
Other Gossip:
Like its predecessor, The Good Fight isnt a visual spectacle like prestige shows such as Legion or Atlanta. But director Brooke Kennedy is intelligent in how she frames her characters, creating a rich visual language that conveys the power of simplicity.
It is laughable how obviously The Good Fight was shot in New York, despite being set in Chicago.
Im intrigued with how the romantic and sexual dynamics of the show will play out, particularly between Maia and her girlfriend, Amy (Helne Yorke).
Im apprehensive about how the racial politics of The Good Fight will play out. Diane and Maia are effectively in the minority at Adrians firm, which is headed by exclusively black partners.
The racial dynamics of the police brutality case Dianes last assignment at the firm she created at times felt like the series was heading in troubling territory. There is a sharp visual divide between Bosemans all-black team, including Lucca on one side and the white lawyers on the other (including Diane, who is representing Cook Countys interests). But the fact that Lucca puts in a good word for Diane to one of the founding members of Bosemans firm, who is apprehensive about bringing on a white partner, suggests that the show will handle these complex issues better than its predecessor did.
The opening, with Diane watching in stunned silence as Donald Trump is sworn in as president, makes the shows politics and relevance undeniable.
