As other parts of the country endured treacherous downpours and a wet first week of autumn, a slightly stormy, yet brief dose of rain was expected to hit the Bay Area late Friday before a forecasted rise in temperature for next week.Though the projections came in at no more than one-tenth of an inch in virtually all of the region, according to the National Weather Service, most of the Bay Area, from the Golden Gate Bridge to Big Sur, was set for some precipitation late Friday into early Saturday morning.“Most people are going to deal with some rain, at least,” said NWS meteorologist Dalton Behringer. “Particularly the Santa Cruz mountains.”The showers, projected to arrive between 11 p.m. Friday and 11 a.m. Saturday, weren’t expected to total more than the one-tenth of an inch mark in any of the major Bay Area population centers, such as San Jose, Oakland, San Francisco and Walnut Creek.

Koepka takes a shot at Rahm’s behavior after tough Ryder Cup day

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 18:43:12 GMT

GUIDONIA MONTECELIO, Italy (AP) — Blunt as ever, Brooks Koepka took a dig at Jon Rahm on Friday after a bruising day for the Americans in the Ryder Cup when he accused him in a brief television interview of acting like a child. All that was missing was context.Koepka and Scottie Scheffler were poised to earn the first American point, leading 1 up on the 18th hole with Koepka facing a 5-foot birdie putt. Rahm holed his 35-foot eagle putt with such force it banged into the back of the cup, giving Europe a halve.It felt like a loss to the Americans, especially after they birdied the last five holes. Rahm chipped in from the rough for eagle on the 16th hole and made the eagle putt at the end.“I mean, I want to hit a board and pout just like Jon Rahm did,” Koepka said in the television interview. “But you know, it is what it is. Act like a child. But we’re adults. We move on.”There was no follow and no immediate access to Koepka. Neither captain was aware or knew to what he might h...
