3 The Daily Star, Oneonta, N.Y., Friday, June 5, 2020 By Breanna Henry TV Media A fter having been post- poned this year (you get three guesses as to why), the 2020 Memorial Tour- nament is set to begin on July 16. To help prepare for the re- turn of live golf, CBS is airing the Memorial Tournament from 2012 on Sunday, June 7. Fans of Tiger Woods likely re- member the event, as it was his last great game before a se- ries of unfortunate career lows that many thought were signs that his prolific career was coming to an end. Jack Nicklaus, the "Golden Bear" who needs no introduc- tion, founded the Memorial Tournament in 1976. Ever since that first tournament was held more than 40 years ago, the game has been played at the Muirfield Village Golf Club (a course that he also designed), in his home state of Ohio. Hop- ing to honor the place where he grew up, learned to golf and raised a family, Nicklaus spent close to 10 years dreaming about a tournament that would not only give back by supporting local charity orga- nizations but attract fans to the game of golf on a global scale. The Memorial succeeded in both aspects: it has benefited children's hospitals and Ohio's needy since the inaugural event, and, by the 1990s, it was the first non-major PGA game to achieve sold-out status. Each year, the aptly-named tournament honors an icon in golf for their achievements in and out of the game. The 2012 tournament honored the nota- bly long career of Tom Watson, the first honored Masters co- founder-slash-golfer-slash- lawyer Bobby Jones, and the most recent Memorial Tourna- ment paid tribute to 26-time LPGA Tour event winner Judy Rankin, who began her profes- sional LPGA career at just 17 years old. Woods took the title for the first time in 1999, then again in 2000 when he became the first Memorial Tournament champi- on to successfully defend the title. Then he did it again the following year. Woods would take the championship once again in 2009, and for the final time (so far?) in 2012. That fi- nal come-from-behind victory tied him with Nicklaus himself for second place in total PGA Tour wins, with an astounding 73 titles earned. The following year, Woods would play the worst back nine on his record, only to somehow top that un- fortunate milestone in 2015, when Round 3 of the Memorial Tournament became the single worst showing in Woods' en- tire career since going profes- sional in 1996.

So, if you want a test, you've gotta work on your three- pointer or eat a raw gazelle. President Trump is once more pushing to have his border wall painted black. Trump hopes that painting it black will result in the hot sun making the steel too hot to touch during the summer months. So it should work perfectly, as long as immigrants never discover night. The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Vladimir Putin announced that restrictions in Russia will be lifted. That's right, Putin said now people can go back to enjoying all of the old restrictions. Twitter just announced that their employees can work at home forever. You know we're living in crazy times because normally when you tell someone to work from home forever, it means "you're fired."
