Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:00:12 GMT

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Jon Rahm has the game for any occasion, most notably the PGA Tour’s postseason.He just doesn’t have history on his side.Rahm is the No. 1 seed going into the FedEx Cup playoffs, courtesy of four wins — including the Masters — along with a runner-up finish in the British Open. But only once in the last 13 years has the top seed at the start of the postseason gone on to capture the FedEx Cup.The exception falls to Jordan Spieth, and that surprised him.“Because usually if you’re the No. 1 seed you’ve won at least a couple of times,” Spieth said as he began his Wednesday afternoon pro-am on rain-soaked TPC Southwind. One good week should be enough to get it done, provided that one week is the last one. Such is what happened to Spieth in 2015, the year he was three strokes away from a shot at the calendar Grand Slam. He had an enormous lead, missed the cut in two events and made up for it by winning the Tour Championship.Circumstances are far...

More Storms On The Way

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:00:12 GMT

Editor’s Note: Tonight’s blog was written by 7Weather intern Tyler Hughes.Today was a pretty calm day for us in New England, and tomorrow will start off the same, before taking a turn in the evening hours. Temperatures will be mild as you wake up but will quickly rise into the 80s around lunchtime, aided by a robust westerly breeze. Cloud cover will be increasing throughout the afternoon as a low pressure system tracks to our south, bringing yet another chance for storms.Unfortunately, the area that’s more likely to see severe storms tomorrow is also the area that was hit the hardest Tuesday – the South Coast and Cape. Although you may get an isolated downpour or hear a rumble of thunder north and west of 495 tomorrow evening, the brunt of the storm activity will be in the red and yellow regions here.The strongest concerns here are the possibility of heavy rain, which could lead to localized flooding. Also of concern is the risk for strong winds and the possi...
