Five storylines to follow at the PGA Championship

Five storylines to follow at the PGA Championship

Published by Sam Flores

May 11 : Five storylines to follow during the 2026 PGA Championship, the second major of the year that begins on Thursday at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania: SCHEFFLER EYES REPEAT AFTER NEAR MISSES World number one Scottie Scheffler will arrive at the PGA Championship in familiar territory: firmly among the favorites, even if his recent run has been marked more by near-misses than trophies. Scheffler, the defending champion after winning last year’s tournament at Quail Hollow by five shots, has finished runner-up in his last three starts, including at the Masters, where Rory McIlroy beat him by one stroke at Augusta National. The American also finished second at the RBC Heritage and the Cadillac Championship, the latter by six shots behind Cameron Young, continuing a sequence that underlined both his consistency and his frustration at not converting chances. Scheffler has already won on the PGA Tour this year, capturing The American Express in January, but his form since the Masters has kept the spotlight on whether the 29-year-old can turn another week …

I tried out a new version of Minecraft to see why environmental storylines help children learn

I tried out a new version of Minecraft to see why environmental storylines help children learn

Published by skeptic

A new version of Minecraft aims to teach students about coastal erosion, flood resilience and climate adaptation, and shows how children can use computer games to learn about complex situations. CoastCraft is a new custom world from the educational arm of the Minecraft team that can be downloaded and added to the game. It is set in the seaside town of Bude, Cornwall, and players attempt to protect the coastal landscape from the various effects associated with sea-level rises and climate change. The game takes about an hour or two to complete. Bude is experiencing increasing coastal erosion and the project was developed in conjunction with the UK Environment Agency and Cornwall Council as part of a £200 million flood and coastal erosion innovation programme. In the game, students use animations to help them understand coastal erosion and rising sea levels before being able to explore and engage with a range of coastal management strategies (including relocating key infrastructure, using nature-based solutions such as plants, or potentially doing nothing at all).
