Ben Griffin used the Maxfli Tour X to earn the brand's first PGA Tour victory in 22 years When Ben Griffin’s putt from 35 feet dropped in the right side of a cup for an improbable 71st hole birdie at the Zurich Classic he not only sealed the deal on his and partner Andrew Novak’s first PGA Tour win brands that fall off the PGA Tour usually don’t come back While some of them still make golf clubs today many avid professional golf fans can’t name them or don’t know they made golf clubs which exited the golf hardgoods space in 2016 and is slowly being phased out on the PGA Tour These companies leave professional golf and typically don’t return But Griffin was using a golf ball from one of those blasts from the past, specifically the Maxfli Tour X I’m not writing to tell you that Griffin was using a golf ball that had been cryogenically frozen for 20+ years he’s using a new creation from the brand which just won its first PGA Tour title since 2003 “It’s pretty cool,” Griffin told GOLF earlier this week ever since I first got started with Maxfli there weren’t a lot of people who necessarily did have trust But after I went through all the testing and everything I realized that this is a product that deserves to be at the tour level and deserves a spot at the top.” Griffin signed a ball endorsement contract with the brand last year after seeing Lexi Thompson endorse the golf ball and talking with her along with PGA Tour Champions player Fred Funk are the first three pros endorsing Maxfli since the brand was bought by Dick’s Sporting Goods in 2008 But the idea of getting the ball back in the hands of the game’s best didn’t start until well after that We really think Maxfli has such a great heritage that we have to get this back to being a ball that would be played on tour,” said Dick’s Executive Chairman Ed Stack in an interview Friday when the company released that year’s Tour series they really felt they had achieved the goal They shopped it around and eventually got Thompson to play the ball and Griffin followed soon after “We’ve got a great team working on this,” Stack said “We were very committed to finding a way to have a ball that would have the performance characteristics to be able to be played on tour So it was just a lot of hard work and iteration.” Stack had just finished playing golf at TPC Sawgrass on Sunday and was watching the conclusion of the Zurich from a sports bar not far from the golf course with the rest of the four couples in his group “All of us guys had the phone out sitting right in the middle of the table,” he said Golf balls are the “big talk” of the Zurich Classic The Zurich is the PGA Tour’s only team event and while pros play best ball on Thursday and Saturday The latter format means teams have to pick one partner’s ball or the other’s exploited a rules loophole and switched balls on each hole so whoever was playing the approach shot could hit their own golf ball but most other teams picked one ball and stick with it as players usually don’t think about what golf ball they play when they choose partners Not only did Ben Griffin just win with a Maxfli golf ball but word from Maxfli is that he and Andrew Novak decided to play Ben’s Maxfli Tour X completely in foursomes Griffin and Novak both decided to play Griffin’s Maxfli Tour X in the foursomes format While there isn’t a lot of differentiation between premium golf balls these days Tour pros are so exacting and so used to what their preferred ball does Griffin said Novak did testing the week of the Masters at Sea Island and realized he would be fine using Griffin’s Maxfli He was playing “worst ball,” where he would play two balls and pick the worst shot until he got on the green I’m three under worst ball at Sea Island using your Maxfli So I think we’re going to use the Maxfli.'” Griffin was the perfect player to be Maxfli’s first winner in 22 years he struggled on lower tours before eventually giving up professional golf to become a mortgage loan officer He eventually found his drive again and earned his card on the Korn Ferry Tour and got his first PGA Tour win in his third season We had a dream to get a ball that had those characteristics to be able to be played on tour again,” Stack said “Ben has never given up on this dream and has come back with a vengeance And we couldn’t be more excited for Ben and more excited to see what Ben can do in the future.” Stack has already said in the week since Griffin’s victory that there has been greater interest in Maxfli’s golf balls, both on Tour and at the retail level. Griffin teased that he may not be the only Maxfli golf ball endorser on the PGA Tour for long (the company announced an endorsement deal with Tour swing coach and GOLF Top 100 Teacher The timing for the company couldn’t be better as they just launched two sets of forged irons last month the first forged clubs under the Maxfli name in almost 30 years which to this point have been exclusively available at Dick’s and Golf Galaxy will be available in pro shops of club pros sponsored by the brand There’s also been interest with other retail partners to keep an open mind when it comes to your golf ball “I think ball testing is one of those things that’s not as it’s not done enough by amateur golfers and even collegiate golfers,” he said and a golf ball can make a huge difference I was definitely pessimistic about it and I became extremely optimistic after seeing the results of testing… It’s been a really fun journey with Maxfli.” Want to overhaul your bag for 2025? Find a club-fitting location near you at True Spec Golf All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team On3 is a registered trademark of On3 Media Add articles to your saved list and come back to them any time This article contains a picture of an Indigenous person who has died On the night that Adrian Torrens murdered 19-year-old navy recruit Audrey Griffin on the banks of Erina Creek Michelle Torrens said Adrian Torrens had repeatedly threatened her life on the night he murdered teenager Audrey Griffin.Credit: 60 Minutes there were court orders in place to protect Michelle but all night he had been leaving her threatening messages “The fear was in me,” she told 60 Minutes on Sunday night She double-locked the doors and brought the dogs inside half-expecting him to appear at any moment She had taken out an apprehended violence order when they split up he breached it with a barrage of 34 phone calls and 24 voicemails Adrian Noel Torrens was charged with Audrey Griffin’s murder It took police five weeks to track him down asking if they’d found him yet to issue the AVO After a while I just got sick of being nervous and sick every time I rang Torrens was convicted in January of breaching the AVO and was sentenced to a community corrections order in lieu of a prison sentence which is why he had his liberty on March 22 when Audrey was walking home from the Gosford Hotel where she had farewelled friends before starting a navy career suspected that something had gone wrong when she checked the location of Audrey’s phone “Obviously it would alarm me because I knew exactly where that location was,” she told 60 Minutes Kathleen Kirby and Trevor Griffin said they had to push police to conduct further investigations into the death of Audrey Griffin after it was ruled misadventure.Credit: 60 Minutes One friend called police; another went to the creek on foot and found Audrey’s bag and Kathleen arrived at the site just as the police were pulling up They walked about 20 metres and then Trevor spotted a body in the water “I knew it was Audrey straight away,” he said But police ruled her death misadventure on the advice of pathology and Kathleen and Trevor said it was left to them to push for further investigations to be conducted Kathleen said she had begged police to show her all the CCTV that captured her daughter on the night and it was as they were trawling through the footage that they noticed someone following Audrey from Gosford Michelle identified him as her husband and told police that he had menaced her earlier on the night that Audrey was murdered he called me 12 times and left voice messages and all of them threatening to kill me,” she said He was wearing the same red singlet and white shorts in the footage that one of Kathleen’s friends had told police she saw a man wearing at the site of the murder five days after it took place He was poking around with a white stick at the section of the creek where Audrey’s body was found “He’s followed [Audrey] from Gosford where he is going to his ex-partner’s house,” Trevor said “He’s turned up in Gosford to create havoc and then just spotted maybe Audrey walking home and chose his different target.” A memorial on the bank of the Erina Creek marks the spot where Audrey Griffin’s body was found.Credit: Kate Geraghty Detectives tapped Torrens’ phone and caught him confessing to the murder Three days after his arrest he took his own life and with it the chance for Audrey’s parents to find out why he killed her Police Commissioner Karen Webb said police had conducted further investigations post-pathology because they instinctively knew that it was more complicated than misadventure Local detectives consulted the homicide squad “The mum obviously wanted us to do as much as we can,” she said A frustrated Webb said Audrey would not be dead if Torrens had been locked up after his AVO breach “A community corrections order for someone who has a violent history is no answer A get out of jail free card is not the answer for people like Torrens.” Start the day with a summary of the day’s most important and interesting stories, analysis and insights.

inbox every weekday before and after the market closes which does a pretty nice job and was really convenient for gripping the uneven configuration of my SCAR handguard setup and has been a joy to shoot with for the short time I’ve been testing it out I also recently watched 110SASS Actual compare the Griffin Armament 1-10 to several of its competitors in the same price range on his YouTube channel Spoiler alert: he and I have come to the same conclusion on the Griffin LPVO His comparison included the following optics in order of best to worst: FOV: 23° - 2.3° | 40.7m - 4m | 122ft - 12ft The 34mm main tube and 28mm objective lens of the Griffin 1-10x Mil-R SFP are instrumental in the optic’s excellent light transmission and may also contribute to what I suggest is the only downside to this LPVO which is its size and weight at 25.75oz and 10.8” long I will say that I did not find this to be a hindrance at all in practical use and regard it as even more negligible when I reflect on how solid the Griffin 1-10 is built You’ll also notice conveniently oversized turrets which make a scope with precise 1/10th MIL adjustments a pleasure to work with ergonomically while providing easily visible markings to see where you’re dialed The Griffin Armament 1-10 Mil-R SFP is accompanied in the box by a CR2032 battery I appreciate the included front and rear flip-up lens covers since There’s no throw lever on the magnification ring or included with the optic I found the adjustment smooth enough to operate and firm enough to hold its setting while rubbing up against gear in the truck and on the range As this isn’t a first versus second focal plane debate and there’s plenty of information about the differences online becoming more pronounced with the image when you increase magnification the advantage being that your subtensions will be accurate throughout the zoom range A second focal plane reticle remains the same while only the image increases in size with magnification reticle subtensions are typically only accurate at full power include finer stadia lines at higher magnification for precise aiming an often flatter image and more forgiving eyebox at 1x and traditionally lower cost of production like the Leupold MK5 7-35 mounted on my .338LM Barrett MRAD I want a first focal plane reticle because I rarely use full power and need accurate holds at varying distances I’m looking for fast short to mid-range shots and since I zero that type of AR-15 for point-blank range (PBR) I’m set to hit an 8” impact zone out to 310 yards using only the crosshairs given my setup and ammunition making the second focal plane reticle of the Griffin 1-10 very convenient for this use Though the reticle seems pleasantly uncluttered it provides fast and intuitive auto-ranging capability for targets with commonly known dimensions a feature inspired by the Redfield ART TEL 3-9x optic used on the Vietnam-era XM21 when the known target size fits the assigned dimensions of the dot and crosshairs within the center circle the distance to the target corresponds to 100 meters multiplied by the current magnification I tested this system against my laser rangefinder and found it very usable Additional ranging and holdovers can be done using simple math as the Griffin Armament 1-10 reticle is calibrated in half MIL increments he appreciated both the simplicity of the Griffin Armament 1-10 and the amount of useful information in the Primary Arms SLx 1-10 SFP but I prefer that heads-up display more for long-range setups 110SASS Actual Results for Reticle Usability Zeroing the Griffin 1-10x conveniently requires no tools Locking elevation and windage turrets keep your dials from unwanted adjustments and adjust until you find your zero like any other optic A coin or shell casing can be used to unscrew the top cap of each turret before gently lifting the dial without causing any additional adjustments Elevation works similarly but with an additional step if you use the zero stop Then replace the elevation dial and screw the cap back down turrets must track true for dial adjustments to be accurate I used the box-test method and confirmed tracking of elevation and windage at 50 and 100 yards I felt good going into it and validated when I finished making life easy when glancing at your dials I can be a turret snob and appreciate my Nightforce ATACRs I’m not trying to compare the Griffin 1-10 to those optics this is an area where the optic punches above its price range choosing a random number and dialing in a given direction I dial back the same number of clicks by feel and sound before turning on the lights and verifying I’ve returned to zero This zen experience is just my personal method and it has earned me strange looks a few times when Becky walks in on me in the dark The Griffin 1-10 easily took home a seal of approval for the price The Griffin 1-10x Mil-R SFP has twelve brightness settings and can be purchased with either green or red illumination My green reticle was bright enough for use under most lighting conditions it was not bright enough to distinguish against snow and midday pastures taking direct sunlight this didn’t impact usage because the black etched reticle stands out in clear contrast to any image that bright Off positions between each illumination setting are a welcome feature of the Griffin 1-10 LPVO making it very convenient to go between no illumination and the brightness level you want without having to dial all the way back every time This is the only technical aspect of the 110SASS Actual review where the Griffin 1-10 did not come in first place But it’s important to note that his version of the optic uses red illumination which caused a lack of contrast demonstrated in his video My impression of the green-illuminated version was much better although we both would not classify the illumination as “daytime bright.” 110SASS Actual Results for Illumination Brightness The 1-10x Mil-R SFP does not come with a mount I must mention it because Griffin Armament was kind enough to let me try out a soon-to-release Lightweight Cantilever Mount similar to their GPM in that it uses staggered rings making it compatible with Griffin’s Rapid Transition Optic Plate system for ambidextrous use of an offset red dot and if Griffin Armament ends up selling it for around $189.95 like the GPM Torque specs displayed on the mount are a nice touch too I keep putting the Griffin 1-10x Mil-R SFP back on my SCAR 17 wondering if that violent chunk of bolt carrier will jar something loose but you’ll have to chip in for ammo if you want me to try to rattle it anymore I mainly tested it on my BCM RECCE 14 with .223 55gr FMJ ammunition provided by HOP Munitions a combination that runs without a hiccup and lets me focus on the job Griffin Armament says the eye relief is around 3.5” and while I’m not getting out the tape measurer I’ll concede from a shooter’s perspective that the relief and the eye box were relatively forgiving throughout the magnification range making it easy to unload a magazine unsupported at 10x from a standing position without losing sight picture The Griffin 1-10x Mil-R SFP has continued to punch above its price range day in and day out and the optical quality follows the same pattern The optic is bright with plenty of contrast and has a very flat 1x image without noticeable distortion This 1x usability played a very big factor in the 110 SASS Actual review as well for which the Griffin Armament 1-10 took first place This continues through magnification with only a minor falloff in brightness between 8x and 10x and I could only induce a bit of chromatic aberration on the edges when pointing the Griffin 1-10 at brightly lit snow a test that most optics will not come out of unscathed 110SASS Actual really liked the max power image of both the Griffin LPVO and the SIG Tango MSR it came down to the extra magnification as the SIG maxes out at 8x Even though the Griffin darkens a little between 8 and 10 power and flatness of the image seems to have impressed us both and this is another category in which he handed over first prize to Griffin Armament I’m not trying to benchmark the Griffin 1-10x Mil-R SFP against optics five times its price those big names really step out under the most demanding lighting conditions the price-to-quality ratio here has made this LPVO a great value at $449.95 and I could have been convinced to buy it for twice that price These are the observations of a guy who giggles at nice-looking ballistic tables and stares through scopes often The Griffin Armament 1-10x Mil-R SFP took me completely by surprise but experiencing this when I didn’t even realize they were in the optics game made me feel refreshingly uninformed I carried this LPVO on one rifle or another on the ranch and while I don’t beat things up on purpose I throw them around a bit and don’t baby them either From bumpy truck rides in the pasture to falling off the top of my target stand real-world use in the country hasn’t phased the Griffin 1-10 and has been a pleasure to look through for extended periods 10x has been great to have out to 600 yards the longest I tend to shoot my 14.5” AR-15s feature-rich optic that is durable and intuitive without complicating life or breaking the bank then I highly recommend the Griffin 1-10x Mil-R SFP it is the best LPVO currently available for under $500 Don’t pine over a dream optic while daylight is burning and ammunition is begging to be shot Have some fun and train with a solid option that might be more than most shooters ever need I hope this helps anyone looking for great value in an LPVO under $500 Now get off the internet and go to the range Do you have a favorite LPVO in this price range or could the Griffin Armament 1-10x Mil-R SFP be one you look more closely at Let us know your thoughts in the comments below | DTOE = Darwin's Theory on Everything | Instagram More by Darwin N. Any word on where the Griffin 1-10x is made from perplexity.ai: "the Griffin Armament 1-10 Mil-R SFP is manufactured in Watertown at Griffin Armament's primary manufacturing headquarters" Conine undergoes season-ending left shoulder surgeryApril 30th LOS ANGELES -- Marlins outfielder underwent season-ending surgery on his left shoulder on Tuesday the club announced ahead of Wednesday's series finale at Dodger Stadium Over the weekend in Seattle, Miami had revealed that Conine would visit Dr. Neal ElAttrache on Monday in Los Angeles to get another opinion on his dislocated left shoulder The meeting with the specialist was to determine the exact operation Conine would undergo The operation required both labral and fracture repair "Griffin was playing so well and a key cog for us an important piece," manager Clayton McCullough said on Wednesday morning and everything should be on track for Griffin to get through his rehab and be ready full-go come next Spring Training." ElAttrache is the doctor who performed the surgery to repair Jung Hoo Lee’s left shoulder last season after the San Francisco center fielder sustained a similar injury to Conine’s after crashing into the wall at Oracle Park “He did his, and [Lee] obviously made a full recovery and is playing great this year,” Conine said Saturday, before the Marlins’ 14-0 loss to the Mariners “So that gives me confidence that that’s the right guy for it Added McCullough on Wednesday: "Just the nature of it I think it was just the timing of things and what went down that it looks like it's going to be next year for Griff." Conine hurt his shoulder in the sixth inning of the Marlins’ 11-10 loss to the Phillies on April 19 jamming his arm into the ground awkwardly on a headfirst slide on an RBI double and immediately exited the game with the trainer the club placed Conine on the 60-day injured list The 27-year-old Conine was hitting .281 with seven doubles and a .790 OPS in 20 games. Conine, who was called up for the first time on Aug. 26 last year appeared in 30 of the Marlins’ final 32 games of the ‘24 season finishing with a .268/.326/.451 slash line Coming into his first full season in the big leagues, Conine had already made the first steps to improve on his end-of-year run last season. He’d dropped his chase rate from 32.9% (league average last year was 27.1%) down to 20.5%, good to land him in the 86th percentile of qualified hitters. He more than doubled his barrel rate and his hard-hit rate rose from 40.7% to 51.1% Conine’s average exit velocity through 17 games was 91.6 mph second-best on the Marlins behind only Dane Myers (91.7 mph) his Statcast numbers ranked up there with the best in baseball His 117.4 mph double off Arizona’s Bryce Jarvis on April 15 was the sixth-hardest-hit ball this year the third-hardest base hit and the hardest base hit by anyone not named Oneil Cruz Sign up to receive our daily Morning Lineup to stay in the know about the latest trending topics around Major League Baseball “Definitely a lot of [emotions],” Conine said on Saturday “I think by now it’s settled in a little more and then I can focus on rehab and setting goals and stuff like that I talked to a lot of people who have offered a lot of support And just being around the guys has helped.” the Marlins have started four different left fielders: Javier Sanoja Wagaman has started four times during this stretch "I think we'll continue to rotate guys through there," McCullough said "It's nice to have some versatile pieces that can go out there and play and at least -- you start the game maybe in one setup there are some guys that can come in as well So I think we'll just continue to each day look at what we feel like is the best lineup construction for us to have success against that starter."

Charlottesville to check out the program and immediately committed after seeing Grounds for the first time She went to her computer and pressed “send.” Oprah Winfrey gushed: “I was just floored when I read her story.” The book landed on the New York Times Bestseller list tens of thousands of people were reading how memories Griffin had buried most of her life came pouring out Her memoir took readers on a journey of how she uncorked the dark secrets of childhood sexual assault “I’d built up this wonderful life with all these castle walls that looked perfect,” she told UVA Today But there was something that kept her from fully connecting with her husband but I couldn’t participate in it,” she said Griffin stands at the base of the steps leading to Memorial Gymnasium one of her daughters challenged her one night but I really don’t know you,’” Griffin recalled The jarring conversation launched Griffin on a journey to reconstruct a past she’d closed off She now sees her move from a small Texas town to Charlottesville to play volleyball as the first step – an escape from something she couldn’t name at the time though its shadow lingered in her life for decades.  Her husband had been supporting a nonprofit that used psychedelic drugs to help veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder open up about what they had stuffed Amy Griffin decided to try that approach.  “I took a pill and within five minutes I said ‘I’m going to tell you everything that’s going on,’” Griffin said “And I sat with a therapist and told her for eight hours the abuse that I endured.” her thoughts flowed into a journal and eventually onto a computer As painful as it was to dredge up what she’d unconsciously locked away “It’s made every relationship better because it’s been more honest and open,” she said especially with my innermost circle – with my kids and my husband – where there’s just absolutely nothing we can’t talk about.” Griffin had to consider her most personal experiences were now public – shared with work associates “The only way to show that life isn’t perfect Some parts of the manuscript were so painful she tried to claw them back But her literary agent urged her to keep them in “I’ve come to realize there is such power in vulnerability,” Griffin continued ‘Did you ever think about trying to put this back in the bottle?’ I’ve never had that feeling and maybe the athlete mentality in me said Griffin says she’s fielded letters from readers who are now facing their own traumas and secrets “I didn’t want this to be a trauma book,” she said “I wanted

Novak and Griffin finished at 28-under 260 at the Pete Dye-designed TPC Louisiana and Novak finally broke through after a pair of top-three finishes this month -- the last a playoff loss to Justin Thomas a week ago at the RBC Heritage "I've done a pretty good job not getting overly frustrated with the close shaves," Novak said "I've been trying to take as many positives from each as I can There was a lot of confidence coming into this week for sure." but fell to 12th -- six shots behind -- with three late bogeys Danish identical twins Nicolai and Rasmus Hojgaard narrowly missed out on a first PGA Tour win Play was delayed by weather for just over 90 minutes with Novak on Griffin on the eighth hole The pair credited their friendship with helping them stay composed through the delay and play well off of one another during the tense final holes and the 28-year-old Griffin is from North Carolina They played in many of the same tournaments as teenagers and became closer early in their pro careers training together when they both lived in Sea Island "We've done just about everything in our career together," Griffin said I feel like we've had similar tracks to where we are today." Novak and Griffin began the PGA Tour's only team event three shots ahead but were caught by Jake Knapp and Frankie Capan III before pulling back ahead on Griffin's pivotal putt on the par-3 17th That gave the eventual winners a two-shot lead after Capan had pulled his tee shot on 17 into the water left of the green "I was trying to hit the proper shot," Capan said noting that he was aiming about 25 feet right of the hole with the wind blowing right to left "Just got a little quick and kind of turned it left "It was a tough finish; it was a great week," Capan added Novak's tee shot also went farther left than intended and he had his hand over his chest as the ball stopped near the water's edge The birdie allowed his team to win with a par on 18 and capture 400 FedEx Cup points each along with winner's checks of $1.33 million apiece McIlroy and Lowry were just three shots off the lead when they bogeyed the 384-yard par-4 13th -- with each mishitting a chip before McIlroy missed a par putt from just inside 11 feet McIlroy acknowledged fans with several waves before Lowry made a crowd-pleasing birdie putt A smiling McIlroy retrieved the ball from the hole and flipped it into the water and we didn't make birdie on (the par-5 11th) and then we bogeyed 13 again for the second time this week." The Hojgaard twins were within a stroke of the lead after Nicolai made a 42-foot birdie putt on the par-3 14th Rasmus narrowly missed a 27-foot birdie putt to tie for the lead "There's a lot of positives from this week," Nicolai Hojgaard said "It's a long time since I really enjoyed a week like this where I could have my bro as my partner and also contend." Isaiah Salinda and Kevin Velo the PGA Tour rookies who led after each of the first two days finished with a 71 and tied for eighth at 24 under They set the tournament better-ball record Thursday with a 58 said he doesn't think AI will revolutionize the investment business I can't say it's been game-changing," Griffin said in an interview that was published on the Stanford Graduate School of Business' YouTube channel on Thursday Griffin was speaking to students as part of Stanford's "View From The Top" interview series when he was asked how AI will affect Citadel I don't think it's going to revolutionize most of what we do in finance," Griffin added Griffin said generative AI models do not lend themselves well to investment analysis because they cannot make long-term forecasts "So machine learning models work really well with problems that are more static in nature But investing is about understanding how the future is going to unfold and that's where these models really struggle But when you think about the next year or two years they really start to fall apart," he continued To be sure, Griffin did not brush aside the impact AI could have on the world at large Griffin said AI is "going to change the world around you in a lot of profound ways." He cited jobs such as working at a call center or translating documents disappearing as AI begins to take over these tasks "So machine learning is going to come with a cost to society How do we help these people land on their feet so we don't end up with a backlash against AI and machine learning," Griffin said Dimon wrote in his annual letter to shareholders that JPMorgan envisions having generative AI "reimagine entire business workflows." "While we do not know the full effect or the precise rate at which AI will change our business — or how it will affect society at large — we are completely convinced the consequences will be extraordinary and possibly as transformational as some of the major technological inventions of the past several hundred years," Dimon wrote Representatives for Griffin at Citadel did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider Conine dislocates left shoulder on head-first slide PHILADELPHIA -- immediately clutched his left arm and howled in pain after diving into second base turning a brief moment of celebration in the Marlins' dugout into one of worry Conine left the game alongside a team trainer and was later diagnosed with a dislocated left shoulder in Saturday afternoon’s 11-10 loss to the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park recalled infielder Ronny Simon and left-hander Cade Gibson from Triple-A Jacksonville and designated southpaw Patrick Monteverde for assignment Conine's first career stint on the IL will likely be a devastating blow to a young Marlins team for which the 27-year-old outfielder has been a bright spot in the early going “That’s kind of like a player’s worst fear: getting the game taken away and having to spend time off the field to rehab,” Conine said Sunday Aside from a broken hamate bone he suffered a few offseasons ago Conine has been pretty healthy since he was drafted in 2018 He’s never been out due to injury for any sort of significant time during a season before he’ll miss around two months -- at the minimum Miami has Conine scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday which will better determine a timeline for his return “I’m just going to learn how to deal with that how to realign and focus on just getting back on the field The play on which Conine was injured was his team-leading seventh double of the season He also leads all qualified Marlins hitters in both slugging percentage (.438) and OPS (.790) With the Marlins trailing 9-1 in the sixth Conine scorched a liner to center field that left his bat at 112.1 mph -- the hardest-hit ball by either team in a game that featured 21 runs The ball was hit so hard that it led to a close play at second base with Conine diving toward the bag and coming up in significant pain after appearing to jam his left arm upon making contact with the ground because that’s what this guy does -- he only knows one way to play,” manager Clayton McCullough said and he just kind of hit the ground a little awkwardly.” Though the Marlins trailed by eight at the time Conine’s RBI double helped spark a three-run inning en route to a furious comeback attempt that ultimately fell one run short Conine entered Saturday as the only player across the Majors this season with multiple five-star catches (plays made on balls with a 0-25% catch probability “The play has been superb on both sides of the ball,” McCullough said "You know what you’re going to get from him every single day He brings a lot of intangibles on top of the fact that he’s played excellent defense in left Conine's injury comes just one day after center fielder Derek Hill was placed on the injured list with a left wrist sprain Jesús Sánchez started in center for a second straight day on Saturday but shifted to right field after Dane Myers entered the game as a pinch-hitter and stayed in to play center

(https://stdavidparish.org/) Former Arizona superintendent to begin contract on June 9 Nearly 70 days after former Santa Fe Public Schools Superintendent Hilario “Larry” Chavez resigned amid sexual harassment allegations the SFPS Board of Education’s search for a new superintendent has come to a close Among three finalists vying for the position the board chose Christine Griffin to be the district’s acting superintendent beginning June 9 at a special meeting Thursday Griffin will officially take on the title of superintendent on July 1 Griffin will receive a prorated annual salary of $205,000 plus benefits and leave as provided to other yearlong administrators with annual leave accumulated and capped at 25 days Board member Roman "Tiger" Abeyta said Griffin impressed the board with her “depth and nuanced understanding” of the issues SFPS faces and that her approach to problem-solving “really stood out.” Christine Griffin will begin as acting superintendent on June 9 “She displayed an exceptional understanding of how to support teachers and other staff to do their best work with children which was a key theme that emerged in our community input,” Abeyta said “Griffin emphasized that principals are the linchpin for each of our schools Principals need to be instructional leaders in order to have real accountability for excellence in education The board looks forward to working with Griffin and supporting her to engage with the team and the community to do her best work.” Griffin has been superintendent of the Humboldt Unified School District in Yavapai County She has worked in education for more than 25 years and the district she serves covers 10 schools and had an estimate of 5,432 students in 2023 she has gained experience in several specialized positions within public schools she later became an elementary school teacher and also worked as a special education instructor instructional specialist and intervention coordinator Griffin eventually worked her way up to school principal and executive director of educational services and federal programs before she became HUSD’s superintendent Board member Kate Noble said over the past few months the district has been “collectively holding its breath” while waiting for a new superintendent to be named “I just have a lot of gratitude for this process because obviously you kind of turn blue in the face if you hold your breath,” Noble said “We appreciate her willingness to come here and do a one-year contract that we can all get behind the new superintendent buck the trends and improve public education.” The superintendent search process that began when Chavez resigned on Feb 21 included 13 meetings with community stakeholders The public meetings came to a head on April 30 as Griffin and two other finalists for the position—Aldine Independent School District’s chief academic officer Faviola Cantú and SFPS’ chief information and strategy officer Neal Weaver—directly answered questions from members of the public at two community forums Griffin said she got a call from her stepmother informing her that the district was looking for a new superintendent and so I've been coming to Santa Fe to visit,” Griffin said “To be able to live in a place where I could be close to my family in this chapter in their life and then also get to do what I love doing most Board member Sarah Boses said she felt “so overwhelmed” for the community and by their participation in the superintendent search very grateful for the thoughtfulness of the board and the work that we do together when things are hard—we just do what needs to be done,” Boses said “I'm really pleased with the decision that we were able to make for our district.” Abeyta also expressed gratitude for all who have participated in the superintendent search process including interim superintendent Veronica García the rest of the Office of the Superintendent and those who showed up to the community forums public education feels uncertain and difficult and we are fortunate and grateful for the fact that so many qualified and committed people from this community and from outside were willing to step forward and offer their service and leadership to public education in Santa Fe,” Abeyta said “Everything led up to the community forums we held yesterday with so many stakeholders and committed people showing up to ask great questions share context and road-test our finalists for the job.” held the day prior and lasting about three hours total members of the public were able to get plenty of responses from the superintendent candidates on the issues SFPS faces that concerned them most who has been a volunteer in the district for 15 years asked what steps Griffin would take to raise students’ math and reading proficiency levels in the district and Griffin said investing in and valuing teachers would be her priority “The process that I really like is called ‘Professional Learning Communities.' They're able to talk to each other about strategies,” Griffin said and we really have to invest in our teachers and protect that model and give them the tools that they need in order to collectively collaborate on student learning in order to increase student scores.” who had also attended all 13 of the community meetings on behalf of the district’s principals noted that accountability “often comes down to student outcomes,” and asked Griffin whether she plans to ensure school leaders and teachers are held accountable for creating a positive environment for students rather than solely focusing on test scores “My dissertation was on the principal and social-emotional learning environments You could look at things like teacher attrition You could look at things like a survey on wellness and well-being There's other ways to be able to collect data that aren't just test scores.” a member of the district’s Diversity & Equity Council asked what Griffin would do as superintendent to rebuild the community’s trust in its public-facing officials following Chavez’s resignation the reason why we're here kind of contributed to that mistrust in a very big way,” Blea said and part of that artery is engaging parents Griffin responded with an example of the work she’s been doing as superintendent back in Arizona noting she had to reorganize the district’s approach to middle school education last year through community conversations addressing concerns with the state of HUSD’s middle schools before coming up with solutions alongside an advisory committee “We have to have some really open and honest conversations with our community about what is the best solution to ensure that all of our students have equitable resources that they have access to the things that they need,” Griffin said “Until we are having the hard conversations being vulnerable and listening to what is being presented to us as the challenge One parent to a student at El Dorado Community School asked Griffin how she would lead the district through threats to federal public education funding being discussed at the national level and how she would ensure the needs of students are met “One of the things that I have been lucky enough [to be] is a federal programs coordinator I've written IDEA grants…in my current position as superintendent I have the luxury of meeting with other superintendents across the state,” Griffin said “We are able to hear from state legislatures—first to hear and really collaborate together to find out what's going to be best for our students.” She also added that while “it may be messy,” she is not worried about federal funding for SFPS and believes adequate federal funds will still be there for the district “Building those relationships with other superintendents building relationships with stakeholder groups around the district to be able to understand what the needs truly are and being able to advocate for those needs with our state legislatures will ensure that our students have exactly what they need and also legally deserve.” Mo Charnot is a Chicago-born graduate from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville Mo joined the SFR

Ben Griffin picked a great time to make their first birdie of the back nine The duo had stayed steady enough after making the turn at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans as the volatility of the Foursomes format peaked Sunday and the final groups navigated a weather delay for the second straight day But after Novak hit his tee shot at the penultimate hole to 35 feet Griffin stepped up and rolled in the birdie a two-shot swing with Jake Knapp and Frankie Capan III who lost in a playoff to Justin Thomas last week at the RBC Heritage and Griffin just needing a par on the final hole to win with a 28-under 260 Novak and Griffin’s Round 4 winning highlights from the Zurich Classic it felt like it was only a matter of time out here but even going back to last season,” Griffin said “Just a lot of hard work between both of us it means the world to finally get it paid off or to finally get it done “I couldn't think of a better guy to get it done with Novak became the first golfer on TOUR to lose in a playoff and go on to win the next week since Patrick Cantlay in 2022 did the same thing – losing at the RBC Heritage and then going on to win at TPC Louisiana “There have been times down the stretch where I've had chances and haven't played particularly well “You never really know when you're going to get your first one Team Ben Griffin/Andrew Novak tap in par to win the Zurich Classic Since the team format was introduced at the Zurich Classic Novak and Griffin became the second duo to make their first PGA TOUR wins at the event Davis Riley and Nick Hardy claimed their first win at the event in 2023 Novak has been trending toward this direction with the win his third straight top-three finish – and fourth this season – on TOUR This marks Griffin’s fourth top-10 result of 2025 He finished T4 in back-to-back weeks at the Mexico Open at VidantaWorld and Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches Griffin’s return to the TOUR has been long documented He left professional golf to work as a loan officer for a mortgage group in North Carolina before resurrecting his golf career in 2021 it was extra special for the duo to get this done together as they had talked about partnering up the last few years Novak and Griffin have known each other since junior golf and reconnected while living in Sea Island in recent years and working with the same strength coach “I think it's just a full-circle moment of us sitting up here together getting our first win,” Griffin said “I feel like we've had similar tracks to where we are today.” Novak and Griffin’s interview after winning the Zurich Classic Although McIlroy has a hearty hold on the top spot in the FedExCup standings, Novak has now moved to No. 6 with his first-ever TOUR trophy tilt. The pair saved the best one-two punch of the day for the second-to-last hole (“That was huge for us,” Griffin said), but like so many first-time winners on TOUR, it wasn’t just one shot or one round that was the reason for their joint success. It was the work in the years leading up to this, together even. It was the decisions made, and the time and the effort they’ve put in own and that they’ve borne witness to from each other. “It seems like a movie script, like it’s not real,” Novak said. “But it’s just perfect how it all came together.” Copyright © 2025 PGA TOUR, Inc.

In the Griffin Halls of Evolving Planet, get to know the many creatures that have roamed the earth throughout history, from single-celled organisms to our extended human family. Experience a variety of fossils, animated videos, and interactive displays that tell the story of evolution, the process that connects all living things on Earth. Don’t miss the Elizabeth Morse Genius Hall of Dinosaurs to get up close and personal with more than a dozen of the biggest creatures in our history. Then, experience the world of SUE the T. rex, our famous fossil with a big personality. Earth’s evolution is about so much more than the extinction of the dinosaurs and our primate ancestors learning to walk upright. Imagine our planet in its earliest days: volcanic eruptions, crashing meteorites, and the first life forms taking shape. Begin your journey through time and explore each period of our evolution, including the Precambrian era that makes up 90 percent of the planet’s 4.5-billion-year timeline. As the evolutionary timeline inches toward the present, you’ll examine the most recent ice age (we’re still living in it) and check out some of the most well-preserved fossils of this period. You’ll also learn why so many of today’s species are facing a mass extinction and the role you can play in their survival.
