He only wishes he were here.That speaks to the meritocracy in golf, and that’s not going away.Neither is privilege, which is why Thomas should only be fretting about a spot on the Ryder Cup team, not whether there will be room for him at Riviera and Quail Hollow.Thomas and Adam Scott are among six players who were in the FedEx Cup finale at East Lake last year and didn’t even make it to the starting line for the playoff opener at TPC Southwind, now for the top 70 players instead of the top 125.

GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, Ariz. — Declaring it good “not only for Arizona but for the planet,” President Joe Biden on Tuesday signed a national monument designation for the greater Grand Canyon, turning the decades-long visions of Native American tribes and environmentalists into reality.Coming as Biden is on a three-state Western trip, the move will help preserve about 1,562 square miles just to the north and south of Grand Canyon National Park.
