48 jili casino NoneST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. — Maverick McNealy has learned in his five years on the PGA Tour that trying to win a tournament is “designed to make you feel as uncomfortable as you possibly can.” Standing in the 18th fairway Sunday in the RSM Classic, part of a four-way tie for the lead that included Florida State sophomore Luke Clanton, the 29-year-old McNealy had every reason to be uncomfortable. He had gone nine holes without a birdie. From 185 yards away he chose a 6-iron, a club that had gone anywhere from 120 yards to 240 yards during a week of big wind and cold weather, and at that moment as warm as it had been all tournament. The shot made it look like he had been there before, covering the flag and landing 5 feet away for a birdie and his first PGA Tour victory in his 134th start as a pro. It sends him to Maui to start next year and to the Masters in April for the first time. “A moment I’ll never forget,” he said. Daniel Berger missed a 20-foot birdie attempt on the 18th that preceded McNealy’s winner. He tied for second with Nico Echavarria and Clanton, both of whom missed par putts from inside 8 feet on the final hole that created the four-way tie. Berger got a small consolation prize, moving inside the top 125 to keep a full PGA Tour card for 2025 when the fields will be smaller and only the top 100 keep cards. Henrik Norlander, who was No. 126 in the FedEx Cup last year, had a 63-68 weekend and joined Berger as the two players who moved into the top 125. For Joel Dahmen, it was a matter of staying there. He was at No. 124 coming into the final tournament, had to make a 5-foot par putt just to make the cut on the number and then delivered a tee-to-green clinic — along with holing a 113-yard sand wedge for eagle early in his round — for a closing 64. It was enough to stay at No. 124 with nine points to spare. “Two of the biggest pressure moments of my career I showed up, and I can take that going forward,” Dahmen said. Clanton was a shot away from joining Nick Dunlap as amateur winners on the PGA Tour this year. Clanton, who has taken over as the top-ranked amateur in the world, has two runner-up finishes and four top 10s in the seven PGA Tour starts the last five months. He had the look of a winner, especially with McNealy stuck in neutral, when he poured in birdie putts on the 14th and 16th holes to tie for the lead. But he tugged his approach to the 18th into bunker, blasted out to 7 feet and missed his par putt. He shot 66. “It’s going to be a tough one to definitely take, for sure, after bogeying the last,” Clanton said. “But I think it’s proven to me that out here I can win, so I’ll be training for that.” Echavarria, who won in Japan a month ago, had not made a bogey all day until going long on the 18th, chipping to 9 feet and catching the lip with his par putt. Michael Thorbjornsen was poised to move into the top 125 until he pulled his approach into the water on the par-5 15th hole and made bogey, closing with three pars for a 69. He tied for eighth and finished at No. 129. Thorbjornsen still has a full card next year from being No. 1 in PGA Tour University, but his status won’t be as high. McNealy, son of Sun Microsystems co-founder Scott McNealy, had been doing some of his best work outside the ropes, particularly effecting a change in FedEx Cup points distribution to make it more equitable. Missing was a victory, and this one came down to the wire. He went out in 33 and led by two going to the back nine, and then it became a grind. He holed a 15-foot par putt from the fringe on the 11th to stay in the lead and saved par after going bunker-to-bunker on the 13th. But he dropped a shot with an errant drive on the 14th, and when Echavarria birdied the 15th ahead of him, McNealy was out of the lead for the first time all day. He answered at just the right time. The victory gets him into three $20 million events over the first two months of the year starting with The Sentry at Kapalua, along with his first trip to Augusta National.

Germaine Greer at 84 is still a powerful force, as was Rosemary Sorensen 's hit September story about the famous academic and activist. ***** Whatever she talks about and whenever she does it, Germaine Greer is impressive. Her latest media outing is an interview for British-American journalist Louis Theroux ’s podcast, recorded at the end of 2023 when Greer was still 84. That followed hard on the heels of a shorter interview by David Wenham recorded for ABC TV . Wenham’s was much better. It might have been because, for that interview, Greer had travelled from the Arcare aged-care home on the edge of Castlemaine, 100 kilometres north of Melbourne, to do the interview in person. It might have been that she was prepared for the questions (although she hadn’t, by the looks of it, been shown the footage the ABC used of her from as early as the 1960s). But I think it had more to do with the quality of the interviewer, or rather, as Theroux is much admired and Wenham better-known as an actor, with their attitude towards their subject. Wenham respected her, whereas Theroux treated her like a curiosity. Like a vintage car. A once-fashionable hairdo. Sclerotic celebrity. Deneuve, Greer and why #MeToo is not a 'witch-hunt' There would be no need for a #MeToo campaign if the justice system was adequately equipped to handle sexual crimes without victim blaming. We can ask why this is so from many angles. The backgrounds and careers of the interviewers, for starters, may have contributed to making them different kinds of people. There are also the expectations of the supposed audiences for, on one hand, Theroux’s podcast which tries to be new-media current, and Wenham’s ABC TV format, which is carefully produced and also pitched to an older audience. The most unsuccessful parts of the Theroux interview sound like a middle-aged man (he’s 53) trying to be relevant, while Wenham, five years older, just looks and sounds interested. Greer, who does like masculine attention (and even makes a stab at preening when she answers a question about older women attracting younger men), is totally tolerant of both interviews, although her trademark brusqueness is still employed occasionally. I live more or less down the road from Arcare, where her arrival a few years back was met with a ripple of excitement, and one of the first sightings of her was in an Italian coffee shop where people of Greer’s vintage love to meet and talk. Greer has mobility issues, but she’s hard to miss. And when someone had the temerity to approach and accuse her, in the way fans do, of being Germaine Greer, she denied it. She started talking about old age about eight years ago and it must have become clearer to her what she herself was facing. It’s usually about Germaine when she launches into her research on a topic. Remember her lamenting not having children and then launching into a defence of hormone replacement therapy ? She was, at one stage, all about Indigenous land rights , which seemed to be connected to her own love of the land and attempts to go back to living bush. She’s just so quotable, which is maybe why she talks in sound bites and also why her pronouncements have become less useful. In 2015, for International Women’s Day , she was on a panel where she said : “Give me the right to grow up, let me age. In our society, elder women have no respect.” She also talked about how the workers in aged care are exploited, so you’d imagine she’s pleased with the news just out that these workers are due a pay rise . Let our heroic women be voices for change The imbalance of power between men and women has been placed squarely in the spotlight over the past year. Shrewd about when and to whom she grants interviews, Greer spoke to The Australian two years ago about her experience as an “inmate” of the care home. If you were to visit this particular place, you’d maybe find that a bit odd since the units are very private, elegantly landscaped, with optional shared spaces, a café open to the public and discreet staff — more like a genteel motel than a prison, you might think. She mentioned again how she feels constricted in her movements when she spoke to Theroux and yearned to go bush — again, slightly odd because Castlemaine is threaded through with bush and this facility is actually more in the bush than in town. Wonderfully, Greer mentioned her delight in the big dragonflies attracted by the garden pond at her aged-care home. When she spoke with Wenham, she was asked about Clive James and she emotionally recalled speaking with him before he died about his longing to return “home” to Australia. The skies, she said, you don’t forget. Theroux’s questions addressed the usual controversies and this was one of the reasons the Mamamia podcasters – Holly Wainwright , Mia Freedman and Jessie Stephens – were critical of his interview. Wainwright and Freedman are, like Theroux, in their 50s, a generation that maybe still thinks of themselves as young or at least in touch with what it’s like to be young. According to these women, Greer was “not on her game” talking to Theroux, but “she’s lived an extraordinary life” and they were upset because “old people are mocked all the time” and they saw a bit of that kind of disrespect at work here. They asked each other about the ethics of recording someone whose age made it less likely they were able to give their best responses on the spot: “Your brain works differently because of your age.” The discomfort of these women hearing a once (still?) famous feminist hero being baited by a man who began the interview by mentioning he’d “dipped into” The Female Eunuch is well expressed in their chatty but well-shaped podcast. Greer has earned the right to “open herself to that criticism” , they agreed, mentioning the flak Greer received when she weighed in on transgender women . #MeToo: It matters that Baird and Badham are wrong about older feminists Ageism should not be used as a means to understand feminism in the #MeToo debate. Both Wenham and Theroux asked her about that and Greer said she’s listening, rather than commenting, these days. “Time I shut up, is what I think.” So, why these two interviews on the cusp of her 85th birthday? That’s the question I wish she’d been asked. Another question that might have been asked is, “What are you writing now?” Greer is not an academic (as she’s referred to in the preface to the 50th anniversary edition of The Female Eunuch ). Nor is she what we might call a professional feminist. She tells the story about how a lunch meeting rave about the treatment of women to the influential head of Random House , the late Sonny Mehta , led to him saying that’s the book he wanted her to write — and the rest is history. It wasn’t her idea to call it second-wave feminism, but she was clever enough to seize the moment, brilliant enough to write with such emphatic flair and charismatic enough to bring women with her. It was perhaps the approval of men that most encouraged her and maybe still does. She very much enjoys the memories of her liaisons with famous men, still warming her very big opinion of herself by the embers of that titillating fire. Although these interviews are flawed, although they might be seen as missed opportunities, they are absorbing for such moments as when, recalling how she up and left her family, blaming her mother, she says, “She nearly lost me, which probably would have been a stroke of luck” . Followed up by, “I ran away and began a lifetime of being a bolter” . She might not have been able to explain what she meant by those comments if she’d been asked, but there’s a poignant wistfulness there that is intriguing. She also talks about the women in the care home, how they’ve “got their own style, their own fashion, generally pretty fit” and comments that she sees women “who have been through the marriage mill” but is touched to see them visited by their daughters. There it is again, the beckoning question about what she might be writing as she watches the dragonflies and the lives around her. And what about the women who are being watched? This may not be the kindest thing to say, but wouldn’t it be something if one of the other “inmates” of Castlemaine’s Arcare home was taking notes in preparation for an essay all about Germaine Greer? Rosemary Sorensen was a newspaper, books and arts journalist based in Melbourne, then Brisbane, before moving to regional Victoria, where she founded the Bendigo Writers Festival, which she directed for 13 years.
