PGA Tour Caddie: Aaron Wise (-115) vs. Abraham Ancer. Take Aaron Wise. He played several junior tournaments on these courses and already has eight tournament rounds here and finished T17 last year.
Gdula: Bronson Burgoon (-110) over Brian Stuard— Stuard finished eighth last week but did so by ranking fifth in strokes gained: putting. Burgoon’s the better ball-striker, which should separate these two this week.
Riccio: J.J. Spaun (-130) over Richy Werenski — My model gives Spaun the 15th best chance to win the Desert Classic, whereas Werenski rates out at 85th in my model. That's a huge difference that doesn't justify this low of odds—it should be -160 or so. Spaun played well here last year and found his game in the fall.
Golf Digest editors picks: Brendan Steele (-140) over Danny Willett — Though Willett has recovered his form, evidenced by his win at the DP World Tour Championship to end the European Tour season, this is more of a tournament setup play. Steele appears to have the ideal draw based on which course he's playing each day....
PGA Tour Caddie: Adam Hadwin (+250). He’s got three-straight top-10 finishes in the Desert Classic, two of which were top 5s. One of those was a runner-up finish in 2017… when he shot a 59 in the third round. Despite what some fantasy experts are saying this week, I like the Canadian to vault to the top of the leaderbo...
Mayo: Rory Sabbatini (+1200) I like Sabbatini to finish in the top-20 at +550 maybe even more. He's a birdie machine—expect to see his name on the leaderboard.
Gdula: Scott Piercy (+550) — Piercy has played the Tournament of Champions (19th) and the Sony Open (33rd) to show that the rust is knocked off. He finished fourth in approach last week but lost strokes putting. He was sixth at the Desert Classic last year, too.
Riccio: Sungjae Im (+550) The birdie machine finished T-17 last week at the Sony, so his game is on.
Golf Digest editors picks: Patrick Cantlay (+275) — Seems like really good odds for one of the tournament favorites. We expect him to be a factor in the desert, where he practices in the offseason. Even if he doesn't win, a top-10 finish seems very likely, so take these juicy odds.
Golf Digest editors: Yes, Jon Rahm is expensive at $11,600. But he's worth paying up $600 more than for Justin Rose—the World No. 1 player. Rahm loves playing in Palm Springs—he is a member at Bighorn Golf Club not too far away, and his win last year at the Desert Classic will have his confidence really high this week....
Gdula: Anchoring your lineups with Justin Rose ($12,100), Jon Rahm ($11,900), and Patrick Cantlay ($11,300) is a solid start this week, and value options exist to help round out your teams on FanDuel: Sungjae Im ($8,800), Corey Conners ($8,700), Dylan Frittelli ($8,600), and Hudson Swafford ($8,200).

The Bishop of Durham has used his annual Easter message to call for a living wage ensuring people can find 'real delight' in life.
The Right Reverend Paul Butler said the Easter story is all about the joy and purpose of life, adding that it very much chimes with the need to have a real living wage not just minimum wage.
Bishop Paul said: “I love Easter, Easter is all about life and living; Jesus risen from the dead is about offering us life in all its fullness. This is much more than self-fulfillment, it's more than simply having a good time, it's about discovering real purpose and delight in life.
The Bishop was speaking at the start of Holy Week in a video message to the region, which is attached to this article.
The global public has unfavorable opinions of Russia and President Vladimir Putin, but the country is still rising and becoming a world power, reports Clark Letterman of Pew Research Center citing data from a poll of 25 countries.
By the numbers: A median of 34% of people around the globe view Russia favorably and just 26% of those polled have confidence in Putin to "do the right thing in world affairs," with more unfavorable opinions belonging to those in the West. However, four countries showed favorable views of the country — the Philippines,...
The parents of Emantic "EJ" Bradford, Jr. held a Monday news conference to ask for an update on the investigation.
BIRMINGHAM — The family of a man killed by police who apparently mistook him for the gunman in an Alabama mall shooting asked the state attorney general Monday to meet with them and release video of the shooting.
The parents of Emantic "EJ" Bradford Jr. held a news conference in Birmingham to ask for an update on the investigation.
The 21-year-old was killed by a Hoover police officer responding to gunfire at the Galleria shopping mall Thanksgiving night. Police initially described Bradford as the gunman but later said they were mistaken. Police said Bradford had a gun as officers responded to the scene of the shooting.
Attorneys for the family said they have seen a portion of the video of the police shooting but a lack of transparency has caused "great mistrust." Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall took over the investigation of the fatal shooting from the local district attorney last month.
Bradford's father said Marshall should meet with them.
"Meet us face to face and let us know what is going on," Emantic Bradford Sr. said.
Marshall's office did not immediately return an email seeking comment.
Another man, Erron Brown, 20, is charged with attempted murder of a man wounded in the gunfire that preceded the killing.
Senate leaders have agreed to hold votes on dueling proposals to reopen shuttered federal agencies this week.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has set up the two showdown votes for Thursday, a day before some 800,000 federal workers are due to miss a second paycheck.
One vote will be on his own measure, which reflects President Donald Trump’s offer to trade border wall funding for temporary protections for some immigrants. It was quickly rejected by Democrats.
The second vote is set for a bill approved by the Democratic-controlled House reopening government through Feb. 8, with no wall money, to give bargainers time to talk.
Both measures are expected fall short of the 60 votes need to pass.
The Senate will push forward with two votes this week to end the government shutdown, but it’s doubtful either will pass.
First will be President Donald Trump’s proposal to provide $5.7 billion for the U.S.-Mexico border wall, some deportation protections for immigrants and supplemental disaster funds for regions hit by hurricanes and wildfires, in exchange for reopening the federal government.
After that, senators will vote on a House-passed package that would temporarily reopen the government, through Feb. 8, while providing the $12 billion in disaster funds.
Voting is designed to pressure senators to cross party lines to end the shutdown, now in its 32nd day.
An estimated 800,000 federal workers are expected to miss another paycheck Friday.
The Department of Agriculture has announced it will reopen Farm Service Agency offices nationwide to process loans, tax documents and trade aid payments to farmers and ranchers.
The Farm Service Agency had been shuttered since the second week of the shutdown, aside from temporarily reopening select offices last week.
From Jan. 28 through Feb. 1, the offices will be open Monday to Friday. From Feb. 4 through Feb. 8, the offices will be open three days a week. Roughly 9,700 federal workers have been called back to work to staff the offices.
Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue also announced the deadline for farmers to apply for aid payments to offset their trade losses will be extended to Feb. 14.
Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer says President Donald Trump did not propose a “good faith” proposal to end the government shutdown.
Senate Democrats are expected to reject the measure when it comes to a vote later this week as the shutdown drags on.
Now in its 32nd day, the shutdown has left some 800,000 federal workers facing another Friday without paychecks.
Schumer says the White House wasn’t “seriously negotiating” with Democrats. He says Trump’s immigration proposals do not reflect earlier bipartisan efforts.
Pelosi told reporters Tuesday that Trump needs to re-open the government before any negotiations over border security.
As the partial government shutdown stretches to Day 32, the House will push forward more proposals to end it. One measure adds $1 billion more for border security.
The Democratic leader said House has voted more than nine times to re-open government.
Some 800,000 federal employees are poised to miss another paycheck on Friday.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says Democrats should get behind his bill to reopen shuttered parts of the government and toughen the nation’s borders.
The Kentucky Republican said Tuesday the legislation he unveiled on the Senate floor should appeal to Democrats who want help for so-called “Dreamer” immigrants. McConnell noted that the bill contains some of those protections. He emphasized it is the only measure before Congress that would reopen the government and wh...
McConnell will try to muscle through the massive bill, which includes $5.7 billion for Trump’s proposed wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. The partial government shutdown is in its 32nd day.
The bill was immediately shot down by Democrats. They insist that the government reopen before any border security talks. They also say the immigration provisions are inadequate.
President Donald Trump’s proposal to break through the budget deadlock appears to be gaining little traction.
Despite the fanfare of the president’s announcement and the rush to release the legislative package late Monday, voting in Congress is not expected to unfold until later in the week.
Even then it seems doubtful that the measure will pass swiftly.
Democrats say they are unwilling to negotiate any border security funding until Trump reopens the government.
Meanwhile, the impact of the shutdown continues to ripple across the nation as it stretches into its 32nd day.
It’s been a long haul with the heat and humidity, but it’s all coming to an end Friday, with showers and thunderstorms throughout the first part of the day winding down during the afternoon — except over Cape Cod, where they’ll probably linger into the evening.
The rain will be particularly heavy over Eastern Massachusetts, where there could be some street flooding. On Thursday, one thunderstorm around the Deerfield area brought 3 inches of rain in a very short period of time.
These showers mark the leading edge of dryer and cooler air, which will be with us for the entire weekend. Temperatures won’t be cool, but, with the low levels of humidity and readings well under 90 degrees, it’s going to feel fantastic. I’d actually rank Saturday up there as one of the top five days of the entire summ...
On Sunday, look for readings to be in the low to mid 80s, but humidity will continue on the comfortable side. Sunday is actually going to be a great beach day, with plenty of sunshine.
You can expect similar weather in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont this weekend. There will likely be some 40-degree readings in the colder spots up there Sunday morning.
Next week will feature temperatures getting back close to 90. However, I don’t see the extreme levels of humidity, nor does this bout of heat look to last as long.

KHARTOUM (Reuters) - Sudan’s defense minister stepped down abruptly on Friday as head of the country’s transitional ruling military council after only a day in the post, as protesters demanded quicker political change following President Omar al-Bashir’s ouster by the armed forces.
In a clear challenge to Ibn Auf’s military council, several thousand protesters remained in front of the defense ministry compound, and in other parts of the capital, as a nighttime curfew Ibn Auf had announced went into effect.
Ibn Auf was Bashir’s vice president and defense minister and is among a handful of Sudanese commanders whom Washington imposed sanctions on over their alleged role during atrocities committed in the Darfur conflict that began in 2003.
Announcing Bashir’s ouster on Thursday and the creation of the military council, Ibn Auf also announced a state of emergency, a nationwide ceasefire and the suspension of the constitution, as well as the nighttime curfew from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. Those steps were criticized as heavy-handed by rights groups.

A cat sneaked into Stomper Amiz’s 10th-storey flat at Block 91, Henderson Road yesterday (Jun 4) at around 8pm.
The cat, a tabby, showed no signs of fear, proceeding to eat from the cat bowls that Amiz had set aside for his five pet cats.
According to Amiz, the tabby was quite fierce, and his cats went into hiding upon noticing the intruder.
It stayed for a few hours, before leaving at around midnight.
“I think the cat belongs to someone.
“My son told me that he has seen it loitering on the 4th storey before.
“I wouldn’t mind adopting it otherwise.
This comes in light of another incident reported by Stomp earlier, in which a cat broke into a HDB resident's home.
Does a ‘nationwide coverage’ clause mean the insurer can be sued in any court?
Insurers often provide nationwide coverage for their policyholders, which may subject them to jurisdiction anywhere in the U.S. but not always.
It’s no secret that each party to a lawsuit wants to win and that part of trial strategy is filing suit in a court that the plaintiff thinks is most likely to provide a favorable outcome. A countermove by defendants may be asking the court to transfer the case to a different venue, one that may be more favorable to the...
The Museum of Modern Art will present what it is calling a full-scale retrospective of the Icelandic rock composer, singer and otherworldly fashion-plate Bjork next year. The exhibition, which the museum announced on Wednesday, is being organized by Klaus Biesenbach, the museum’s chief curator at large. The retrospecti...
Although a spokeswoman for the museum said that the details of the installation would not be announced until the fall, the plan is to trace the arc of Bjork’s career through the seven full-length studio albums she has released since “Debut” in 1993, and to explore Bjork’s collaborations with artists, photographers and ...
The museum also announced that the app version of Bjork’s album “Biophilia” (2011), which includes animation and graphics as well as music, has been added to the museum’s digital design collection. It is the first app in the collection, which includes video games, fonts, icons and other forms of digital art.
