Lottie Woad takes 2-shot lead over Nelly Korda in pro debut at women's scottish open
IRVINE, Scotland – Lottie Woad of England played bogey-free Friday and took advantage of unusually calm conditions toward the end to post a 7-under 65, giving the English star a two-shot lead over top-ranked Nelly Korda and Nanna Koerstz Madsen in the Women's Scottish Open. Woad is making her professional debut, which only means she gets paid at the end of the week. She looks no different from the last couple of weeks when she won the Women's Irish Open and then tied for third in the LPGA major in France at the Evian Championship. Korda birdied her last two holes for a 66 to get to within two shots, hopeful she is trending in the right direction as she goes for her first win of the season. Koerstz Madsen also shot 66. Woad, who played her college golf at Florida State, was at 12-under 132 after spending two days before the largest crowd at Dundonald Links playing in the same group as Korda and Charley Hull of England. Woad's finish at the Evian Championship earned her an LPGA card, prompting her to turn pro. The Women's Scottish Open felt no different from her other July events. It was all about trying to ride the momentum. She dismissed the notion that she has started her pro career by taking a 36-hole lead in a tournament co-sanctioned by the LPGA and the Ladies European Tour. 'I played in seven majors now, so I've had all that experience and obviously the LET events too,' Woad said. 'So wasn't really new things I guess. Kind of knew how to deal with it.' She has missed only two greens each of the last two rounds on the links course just to the north of Royal Troon on the Ayrshire coast. It's a strong field with the final major of the year, the Women's British Open, next week at Royal Porthcawl in Wales. The biggest help was the wind, or lack of it. The breeze gave way to calm conditions, and Woad ran off four birdies on the back to seize control. Korda, winless after a seven-victory season in 2024, made her lone mistake with a bogey on the par-5 18th as she made the turn. She handled the calm conditions on the front nine to get in the final group. 'Apparently, this is not really Scottish weather. It's pretty soft, so I've been hearing this is not the typical weather and course they usually play out here,' Korda said. 'But overall, when you get good rounds under your belt, that's always a step in the right direction. My main focus is this week. I'm trying to finish as best as I possibly can.' Sei Young Kim had a 67 and was three shots behind, followed by Hyo Joo Kim (66) who was four shots off the pace.

Overture Orthopaedics Announces Full Commercial Launch of the OvertureTi Knee Resurfacing System® to Treat Early Osteoarthritis and Cartilage Defects
IRVINE, Calif., July 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Overture Orthopaedics, a privately held U.S.-based medical device company providing surgeons with innovative joint preservation solutions in sports medicine and orthopaedic surgery, announced the full U.S. commercial launch of its OvertureTi Knee Resurfacing System. The system is composed of femoral and tibial implants intended to be used in the partial replacement of the articular surfaces of the knee. These implants were designed with sizing options that allow the surgeon to replace only the diseased or damaged region of the joint while preserving healthy surrounding cartilage and meniscus. The procedure is referred to as Focalplasty®. "My career has been defined by osteochondral allografts. At some point, biology fails and no longer becomes a good option for a patient, but it's far too early for any kind of joint replacement," said Riley J. Williams III, MD, Chief of the Sports Medicine Institute at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City. "Overture is bridging that gap between biologic options and joint replacement with an implant that resurfaces the joint, providing a durable, predictable, and lasting solution that adheres to the principles of joint preservation." The OvertureTi Knee Resurfacing System received 510(k) clearance from the United States Food and Drug Administration in March 2023. To date, approximately 150 cases have been successfully completed in a limited market release that commenced in November 2023. With an ever-increasing active patient population, the number of cartilage restoration surgeries performed annually exceeds 300,000, notably growing each year. A 2021 study on chondral lesions of the knee in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery by Dekker et al., highlights current surgical and biological options for treatment of isolated cartilage defects continue to present significant challenges for patients and surgeons in terms of costs and complexity, including inconsistent healing, donor site morbidity, and degradation over time. According to a study by McCormick et al. that focused on trends in the surgical treatment of articular cartilage lesions in the United States, some procedures such as chondrocyte implantation reach costs as high as $83,073 due to multi-stage surgeries, laboratory processing, associated episode of care, and societal considerations. OvertureTi Knee Resurfacing System implants are designed specifically as an alternative when biological repair options are not viable for treating focal cartilage lesions. The implants' baseplates are 3D printed, porous titanium to promote osseointegration and solid fixation. Articulating surfaces for the femoral and tibial components are titanium nitride, and an overmolded Vitamin E treated, highly crosslinked polyethylene, respectively. They are a fraction of the cost of biological options. "Overture is taking the concept of joint replacement, which has decades of research behind it, using a metal implant that gets lightly cemented and fixed into place, stable at time zero, and incorporates quite easily. Then applying it to principles of joint preservation that we value in sports medicine. The concept is great because patients can get back to their active lifestyles quickly, they don't have any downtime when it comes to weight bearing and range of motion restrictions, and they can readily start physical therapy to strengthen and recover, at time zero. We are also preserving the soft tissues around the knee," said Kristofer J. Jones, MD, Associate Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine at UCLA and Head Team Physician and Director of Orthopaedic Surgery for the Los Angeles Lakers. "We launched our limited market release to a select number of surgeons just over 18 months ago," shared James Young Kim, Overture's Chief Executive Officer. "The goal was to observe early patient outcomes, refine the surgical technique, and better understand patient selection. With a good number of cases under our belt and seeing how well our patients have been doing, we are ready for the full commercial release of the OvertureTi Knee Resurfacing System. We are excited to get the product in the hands of surgeons, so that they can better address knee pain and extend active lifestyles, ultimately raising the standard of care for patients." The OvertureTi Knee Resurfacing System is available for immediate use, with all instrumentation sterile-packed for streamlined, single-use efficiency in the operating room. For more information, please email info@ or call 949-889-3784. About Overture Orthopaedics Overture Orthopaedics is a privately held medical device company providing sports medicine and orthopaedic surgeons with specially designed implants to relieve pain and dysfunction associated with articular cartilage lesions, osteochondral defects, and early osteoarthritis. We believe that our solutions raise the standard of care in joint preservation by providing state of the art surgical tools that streamline use in the operating room, reduce the global cost of care, and enhance outcomes so that patients can get back to and maintain their active lifestyles longer.

Clear Start Tax Issues Alert: No Federal Penalty for the Uninsured, But Some States May Still Charge You
Clear Start Tax clarifies why some states still require Form 1095-A, even though the federal health coverage penalty was eliminated. IRVINE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / July 4, 2025 / Despite the federal penalty being eliminated, many taxpayers are still receiving health insurance forms, leaving them unsure whether action is required. Clear Start Tax is warning filers not to ignore Form 1095-A, especially in states that still enforce their own coverage mandates. 'The IRS eliminated the federal individual mandate penalty in 2019, but that doesn't mean everyone is off the hook,' said the Head of Client Solutions at Clear Start Tax. 'Several states still require proof of coverage, and skipping Form 1095-A or other related forms can delay your return - or worse, result in state fines.' Why You May Still Receive Form 1095-A Many taxpayers think the form is irrelevant now that the ACA penalty is gone. But Clear Start Tax explains that Form 1095-A is still issued if you enrolled in a Marketplace health plan, and it plays a key role in reconciling any premium tax credits you received. It's also used to reconcile the advance premium tax credits you received with what you actually qualified for, based on your reported income. If the numbers don't match what the IRS or your state expects, your refund could be delayed or adjusted. States That Still Enforce Health Insurance Penalties Even though the federal penalty is gone, a growing number of states have their own health coverage mandates - and their own penalties. As of 2025, these states still impose a fine if you go without qualifying coverage and don't qualify for an exemption: California Massachusetts New Jersey Rhode Island Vermont (reporting only) Washington, D.C. These states often require taxpayers to file specific health coverage forms along with their state return, and missing or inaccurate documentation can trigger state-level penalties. What to Do If You're Uninsured or Received a Marketplace Form Clear Start Tax advises taxpayers to take the following steps to avoid penalties or processing delays: Don't ignore Form 1095-A - include it with your return if applicable. Check your state's requirements if you live in one that enforces coverage mandates during the tax year. Make sure your premium tax credits were reconciled properly to avoid refund issues. File all required health coverage documentation, especially in California, where the Franchise Tax Board tracks non-compliance aggressively. 'Many people are caught off guard because they assume health insurance is no longer part of tax season,' said the Head of Client Solutions. 'But in states with mandates, missing documentation can still cost you money.' Behind on Taxes or Hit With a Penalty? Relief May Be Available Health-related penalties can overlap with broader tax issues, including unfiled returns, missed income, or existing IRS debt.
