Brian Harman (65) makes move in second round of British Open
Not that anyone was complaining. Temperatures were warm, at least by Irish standards. The breeze was noticeable without being overly punishing. 'They're very different golf courses, but the golf is similar,' Harman said. 'You've got to be able to flight your golf ball. You've got to know how far everything's going. Then you can't get frustrated. You're going to end up in funny spots where it doesn't seem fair, and you just have to kind of outlast that stuff.' Among those who finished, Harman at 8-under 134 was three shots clear of a group that included Harris English (70), Harman's former teammate at Georgia; Rasmus Hojgaard of Denmark (68); Tyrrell Hatton of England (69); and Robert MacIntyre of Scotland (66). Advertisement Rory McIlroy broke par for the second straight round and lost ground. Thousands of spectators followed him along hills ands knobs. There were cheers, but not many roars as McIlroy went around in 69. He wasn't at his best in the opening round and was pleased to be only three behind. He was at least five shots back going into the weekend. But at least he's still playing, after a terrific rally to miss the cut by one shot at Royal Portrush in 2019. Advertisement 'I didn't have this opportunity six years ago, so to play an extra two days in this atmosphere in front of these crowds, I'm very excited for that,' McIlroy said. 'I feel like my game's definitely good enough to make a run.' Scottie Scheffler played in the afternoon. He hit his shot down the middle of the fairway, his next one to 6 feet, his third one in the hole for a birdie. And then out came the umbrellas and some of the heaviest rain of the week. It lasted only a few holes. Harman had a five-shot lead after 36 holes at Hoylake when he won in 2023, and he wound up winning by six with a game so steady that no one made a serious run at him. He is likely to have a little more company this time around. But his game looked to be as superb as ever. He was putting for birdie on just about every hole. He was never out of position. Harman opened with an approach to 3 feet on the first hole and drilled his second shot on the par-5 second to 18 feet for a tap-in birdie. He finished with another dandy, an approach to 8 feet on the 18th hole. 'I'm not trying to be heroic or do anything crazy. I know that I've got the game to do it, and it's just a matter of executing and staying in my own head,' Harman said. Advertisement Among those chasing is Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley, making yet another case that he could be the first American playing captain the Ryder Cup since 1963. Bradley is coming off a win at the Travelers Championship. Now he appears to be finally figuring out links golf. Bradley has missed the cut the last five times and his best finish in 11 appearances is a tie for 15th in 2013 at Muirfield. He shot 67, a round that began with a 5-wood to 18 feet for eagle on the second hole that Bradley said was among the best shots he has hit this year. 'It was nice because I really wanted to play the weekend for the first time in, like, years,' Bradley said. 'But I also wanted to play well enough to get myself in position, so that was a great start to the round.'

After storms cause massive subway flooding, MTA chief calls on NYC to grow sewer capacity
MTA Chairman and CEO Janno Lieber is calling on New York City to build up its sewer system after massive subway flooding during Monday's storm. He spoke to CBS News New York's Dick Brennan about what happened and how to fix things for future storms. Video from the West 28th Street station in Chelsea showed water gushing from a drain and completely flooding the platform. "This manhole cover was levitating about this high because there was the water pressure actually exploded it out," Lieber said. Out of the subway system's over 490 total stations, about 20 were put out of service during the storm. "That's no excuse for those 20 stations that were unavailable, had bad conditions. But this is not going to knock out the whole system and we were ready to go the next morning," Lieber said. He said hundreds of people worked overnight to make sure the trains were back up and running for the Tuesday morning commute. During those storms, the subway system got hit with a double whammy — torrential rain from above and a sewer system that couldn't handle it below. New York City Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Rohit T. Aggarwala says they've done a good job to maintain the sewer system, but climate change is sending storms nobody could have expected. "Addressing storm water resilience to fix this underground infrastructure is going to be the work of tens of years, decades. We put out our report last spring that estimated a total cost of roughly $30 billion," Aggarwala said. But Lieber says the city has to step up and pay up to fix their sewers. "Because the rainfalls are going to keep happening, we need them to grow the capacity so it doesn't back up into the subways," he said. Lieber says the city could focus area by area if the money is there. "There is no quick solution to the big issue, but you can do it in a localized way," he said. In the meantime, Lieber says the MTA is hardening its infrastructure. One of the improvements to fight subway flooding the so-called step-up into the station. By placing a raised platform at the entrances to underground subway stations, the water then has to rise higher before it goes cascading down the steps into the station. Lieber says the MTA already spent $8 billion on resiliency after Hurricane Sandy and has spent close to $1 billion from the new capital budget. He says the system has a knack for bouncing back and is hoping to be ready when the next storm hits.

The Flash-Flood Era Is Here, and We're Not Ready
New York City's subway system is mainly known for moving millions of riders every day and scaring the US Treasury Secretary. But every so often it also becomes the world's least-popular water park. Instagram was rife this week with unnerving videos of subway riders watching high waters churn outside their train cars after a brief but biblical downpour dumped more than 2 inches of rain in less than an hour on Monday, overwhelming the city's drains and turning subway stations into raging rivers. What might have been a mundane summer rainstorm at one time led to flooding that killed at least two people, destroyed property and snarled travel across three states.
