Van der Walt finished with a three-round total of 15-under 195 as the sun eventually shone on the final day of the rain-shortened event. It was his second European Tour victory. England's Matthew Baldwin (68) and Spain's Jorge Campillo (68) were tied for second. Even before the rain disrupted the first two days, organizers had changed the schedule ensure the tournament didn't run over into Sunday out of respect for the state funeral of Mandela, the South African anti-apartheid leader who died last week....

The former Asian number one, who is the first Indian to win on the PGA Tour when he claimed victory at the 2010 Wyndham Championship, is returning from a six-week layoff to recuperate from injuries which has plagued his 2013 season. The 40-year-old, who last played on the Asian Tour at the 2010 Indian Open, said Thursday: “I’m just excited to come back to Asia to play again and see some faces I haven’t seen in a while....

Trailing her in second position is Vaishavi Sinha with a score of two over 74 in the Rs.6,00,000 event, which will culminate on Friday. Vani had a unusual start carding a birdie less on her front nine, with a double bogey on the 8th hole. She dropped a shot on the 12th hole in her back nine, but a eagle on the 17th helped her to control the damage and take the lead on day one....

The team-up is called “Project Understood,” and includes people with ALS, also called Lou Gehrig’s Disease, and Down syndrome in an attempt at analyzing speech patterns. Google soon realized that the data could be used to improve accessibility for all users. As it currently stands, Google smart products miss 30 percent of all words spoken by those with non-standard speech patterns. The fix for that problem is exposing Google’s algorithm to new voices....

What is Android Go? Google announced that Android is currently running on 2 billion devices. And there are also tons of Android users in markets like India where most people end up buying low to mid end budget phones. Android Go is a set of smartphones, aimed to help and enhance Android user experience on low-end phones. That’s quite thoughtful, isn’t it? Well Google is addressing this plan on three fronts....

Google Chrome 90 now includes the ability to link to specific pieces of text on a website so that the recipient opens the link and the page scrolls automatically to the highlighted section. All the user has to do is highlight a block of text then right-click it and select “Copy link to highlight” to create such a link. It’s a small but remarkably powerful addition to what Google Chrome now offers....

The Google Doodle is captioned: “As COVID-19 continues to impact communities around the world, people are coming together to help one another now more than ever. We’re launching a Doodle series to recognize and honor many of those on the front lines.

In many respects, Godfall is a pioneer title. It is one of the first PS5 games, and must live up to the expectations for the console. In addition, it’s billed as a looter-slasher, a new spinoff of the looter-shooter game players that have grown used to. To top it all off, this is a brand-new IP from a relatively young developer, Counterplay Games. Now it’s just been revealed how Godfall is taking advantage of a new feature: the PS5’s dualsense controller....

In front of 25,000 fans at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in Lille, Goffin got Belgium off to a winning start as he triumphed 7-5 6-3 6-1 over Lucas Pouille in the opening rubber. But Tsonga had the home supporters rocking once more when he swiftly dispatched Steve Darcis 6-3 6-2 6-1 to level matters ahead of Saturday’s doubles. Goffin arrived at the final fresh from losing out to Grigor Dimitrov in the deciding match of the ATP Finals, but he played like a man determined not to lose a second final in as many weekends....

The study, published Thursday in the American Journal of Public Health, analyzed data from nearly half a million GoFundMe campaigns over a five-year period, finding only 12 percent of campaigns met their goals and 16 percent received no donations at all. “We tend to think of crowdfunding as something that can help out anyone in hard times, but this data really indicates that where people need the most help paying for health care, crowdfunding provides the least help,” Nora Kenworthy, an author of the study and associate professor of nursing and health studies at University of Washington Bothell, said in a statement....

This week Bush will shake his finger–before a group of top CEOs at the Regent Hotel on Wall Street. White House aides were characteristically tight-lipped about the contents of the speech, but GOP sources say that the president will likely support criminal charges for corporate officials who engage in dodgy accounting or file misleading or late papers to the government, and make CEOs and members of corporate boards more accountable for their companies’ actions....

Has gold lost its glitter for good? The debate rages, and it affects everyone from miners in Johannesburg to traders in New York. Some financial analysts are promoting a “new paradigm,” which relegates gold to a stodgy, old economic order. By this thinking, gold’s traditional role as a hedge against bad times has been overtaken by more sophisticated financial tools. These range from the relatively simple, like inflation-indexed Treasury bills, to mind-numbingly complex derivatives....

Goldberg began his wrestling career with World Championship Wrestling in 1996, following a professional football career. After his debut, he was pushed to the moon, creating a legendary undefeated streak that saw him earn championship gold and mega-star status. Following the death of WCW, he signed with WWE and would initially have a year-long run which saw him capture the World Heavyweight Championship before departing the company in 2004. He returned to the company in 2016 and was sporadically for special attraction matches....

WWE cameras followed Goldberg outside his house 9 days after SummerSlam 2021. He revealed that he has a ligament tear and tentative knee surgery. However, his objective has changed. Goldberg is coming for Bobby Lashley, not the WWE Championship: This angle sets up a rematch with Bobby Lashley later in 2021. From Goldberg’s tone, the WWE title may not even be on the line should Lashley still be champion by then....

Bellemare, with his Vegas Golden Knights trailing 2-0, took control of the puck in the Canadiens defensive zone. With a new line coming onto the ice, Bellemare, rather than turning it over, made an effort to drive to the net. That meant going through the three Montreal players that stood in his way. Bellemare twisted Petry inside-out by passing to himself through the skates of the Montreal player before finishing the sequence for his second goal of the year....

The tutorial starts out with the narrator telling the player about how heroes collect Djinn to become more powerful. The more Djinn the hero collects, the stronger and more powerful they become as a result. There are two ways that Djinn achieve the power up: Changing the hero’s character class and boosting the character’s stats. All Djinn are creatures that belong to one of the four elements (Earth, Fire, Water, Wind)....

As seen in the trailer below, GoldenEye: Source 5.0 is far from simple rehash of the N64 game, as it is a total conversion modification of the title on Valve’s Source engine, which brings honed gameplay, high definition graphics, as well as a refined multiplayer arena experience. For instance, it includes 25 separate maps—including fan-favorite stages like Dam, Bunker, and Temple—10 different game modes, and all 28 weapons from the first iteration of GoldenEye 007....

India’s Chawrasia, who is on the verge of his first European Tour title away from home, entered the third round with a two-shot lead and extended it to three at one stage before being chased down after a run of seven pars. Spaniard Cabrera Bello and Australian Ormsby moved to within one shot of the Indian after recording a six-under-par 64 and a five-under-par 65 respectively at the Hong Kong Golf club to move to joint-second....

A local court had given organisers until Wednesday to present an alternative proposal. But an agreement failed to be reached and the course’s future now rests with judge Eduardo Klausler.
