Why were Twin Cities Pride events delayed?
Sunday morning celebrations for the Twin Cities Pride Festival were set back because of ongoing rain in Minneapolis, according to KSTP 5 Eyewitness News. The Rainbow Run 5K, originally scheduled for 9 a.m., was moved to 10:10 a.m., followed by the Kids Dash at 10:30 a.m.
The Pride Parade was delayed by 30 minutes to an 11:30 a.m. start. Organizers said all-day events would continue as planned at the main festival grounds in Loring Park.
Where does Nelly Korda stand at the Women's PGA?
On the same Sunday across the Twin Cities metro, Korda teed off at Hazeltine in Chaska pursuing history. USA Today tracked her live bid for a third consecutive major after wins at the Chevron Championship in April and the U.S. Women's Open earlier in June.
Entering the final round, Korda was tied with Alison Lee at 7-under, four strokes behind leader Haeran Ryu at 11-under, per GOLF.com. Brooke Henderson sat second at 10-under.
Who else is in contention at Hazeltine?
South Korea's Ina Yoon held third place at 9-under after shooting 75 on Saturday. She had led the KPMG Women's PGA after opening rounds of 63 and 69, matching the championship's lowest-ever round on Thursday.
Yoon's path to contention is remarkable. Four years ago, the 23-year-old was suspended by the Korean Golf Association and KLPGA after playing the wrong ball at the 2022 Korea Women's Open and failing to report it. An initial three-year ban was reduced to 18 months on appeal.
What history is Nelly Korda chasing?
Korda is attempting to become only the third woman to win the first three LPGA majors in a single season, joining Babe Zaharias in 1950 and Inbee Park in 2013. A victory would also deliver the final two points she needs to qualify for the LPGA Hall of Fame.
