    I do a lot of outdoor activities that will be affected by climate change, i ski, raft, hike -- all sorts of stuff. We go up to Willamette Pass( to ski), and the last few years it's barely been open because of the lack of snow. Willamette Pass does sort of make me mad, but mostly I'm sad. We've affected our climate so much. We've done all of this.

    I just figured it was going to be a tap-in, i was kind of relieved I didn't have to face a three-footer in front of all those people, and then obviously when it went in, what can I say, it was pretty awesome. The effort lifted Pepperell to 14-under-par, which at the time looked to have given him a shot at winning but ultimately was only good enough for a share of third two shots behind champion Rory McIlroy. The drama at the 17th was not over yet, however, as Jhonattan Vegas was in the next group to approach the hole. The Venezuelan's tee shot barely cleared the water and his ball stopped, unpromisingly for his birdie chances, some 70 feet from the hole. Undeterred, he banged it home to join Pepperell at 14-under with the longest putt ever made at the hole, according to the PGA Tour.

    – Eddie Pepperell

I heard things coming out of her mouth like, 'Was I raped?,' 'I was unconscious. I don't know how long,' 'Are they here?,' 'Are they coming?' Still a little scatterbrained, Cary said. We turned around and saw a woman who could barely walk covered head-to-toe in blood.
