Russell Henley May Have Thrown Away Travelers Championship with Honor
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. In golf, honor is more than just a beautiful word. No one was watching Russell Henley's second shot on the eighth hole at TPC River Highlands during the second round of the Travelers Championship. There were no TV cameras on him, and probably not even his group mate, Nick Dunlap. Yet, Henley still called a penalty on himself. "It was a good teaching opportunity for my son, who was watching," he said. Russell Henley of the United States plays a shot on the 18th hole during the second round of the Travelers Championship 2025 at TPC River Highlands on June 20, 2025 in Cromwell, Connecticut. Russell Henley of the United States plays a shot on the 18th hole during the second round of the Travelers Championship 2025 at TPC River Highlands on June 20, 2025 in Cromwell, hit his tee shot 209 yards straight into the rough, passing the green to the left. He aimed to find the hole from there with his second shot, but that's when the problem arose. The five-time PGA Tour winner recalled that while taking his backswing, he saw the ball move a millimeter. His shot was excellent; it carried the ball to within three feet of the hole and then Henley successfully putted for par. However, he wasn't comfortable with the situation, so he called the rules officials. The matter ended with Henley receiving a one-stroke penalty, turning his par on the eighth hole into a bogey. "It was pretty windy and the ball was halfway covered from the rough, but I'm confident that it moved," Henley said. "The rule is kind of setup I think to protect us, just from being unsure. Because it's one of those things where there's no intent there, and I didn't really benefit at all, the ball was in the thick rough. But that's part of the game." Low round of the tournament so far. Russell Henley puts himself into contention at -13 heading into Sunday. — TravelersChamp (@TravelersChamp) June 21, 2025 Far from helping him, Henley's honorable reaction may cost him a tidy sum. It so happened that the golf gods rewarded his honesty with a third-round 61, placing him in a tie for second with Keegan Bradley at 13-under par, three strokes behind Tommy Fleetwood. Had he not received the penalty, Henley would be in solo second. The Travelers Championship awards $2.16 million to the runner-up, but that amount drops to $1.76 million ($400,000 less) if two players tie for second, as is the case after 54 holes. Add to that that trailing by two strokes instead of three would give him a much better chance of unseating Fleetwood. A victory would be his second $3.6 million payout of the year; as Henley already won the Arnold Palmer Invitational, the third Signature Event of the season. So, safe is to say that sportsmanship just hit another ace in professional golf. More Golf: Collin Morikawa Uses New 'Weird' Strategy at Travelers Championship

How to buy the Nintendo Switch 2: Latest stock updates at Target, Best Buy, Walmart and more
The Nintendo Switch 2 has been available in the US for more than two weeks — but good luck finding one. While millions of people have been able to snag the $450 console since it officially went up for sale on June 5, online inventory dried up fairly quickly at most stores soon after launch and remains difficult to find today. Target and Best Buy restocked shortly after launch, but those didn't last long, and the latter required in-store pickup. You may also be able to grab a bundle at Costco if you're a member there. Otherwise, it's been slim pickings. As of today, we're not seeing any availability — though you may have different luck in your locality when checking inventory, online or in person. To that latter point, people had a bit more luck on launch week by venturing to a physical retail store. We can't guarantee you'll still be able to snag a Switch 2 the old-fashioned way, but it's worth checking if a local Target, Best Buy, Walmart or GameStop — the four official retailers Nintendo lists on its store page — still has consoles in stock. For now, you can skip Amazon, though: For whatever reason, the biggest online retailer doesn't even have a product page for the Switch 2 (but it does seem to be selling games and accessories). All that said, if you're still on the hunt, we've rounded up all of the latest information we could find on how to buy the Nintendo Switch 2 and where you can pick one up. Walmart began online purchases at midnight ET on June 5. Currently, both the Mario Kart World bundle and the standalone console are "available" via third-party retailers, but listed for much higher than their standard $500 and $450 price tags — with limited quantities available. We wouldn't recommend buying these; instead, wait for the console to be listed at its regular MSRP. Naturally, the world's largest retailer is also selling the console at its brick-and-mortar locations, though the company has noted that quantities are limited and inventory will vary by location. Best Buy started selling the Switch 2 at its retail locations on June 5. It previously said it wouldn't sell the handheld at its online store during launch week, but it made additional consoles available on June 11 around 12PM ET. That restock lasted for the better part of an hour and required in-store pickup, but the device is now sold out again. Target had the Switch 2 in stores on June 5 and restocked its online inventory for at least a couple of hours starting around 3:30AM ET on June 6. It then had another restock on June 12 around 2:30PM ET, but that appears to have died out in less than an hour. It still looks to be fully sold out as we write this, but you should see if there's any stock at the stores closest to you just to be safe. GameStop has advertised in-store availability, though exactly how much stock your local store may have will vary by location. Online, the device has been unavailable for the past week, with the listings for the base console and Mario Kart bundle now pointing to a "Find a Store" page. We saw a $625 bundle that includes Mario Kart World , a microSD Express card and a few other accessories pop up a bit more frequently than the standard SKUs, but it's no longer listed (and it was kind of a raw deal anyway). You may still have some luck at certain membership-based retailers. A Mario Kart World bundle at Costco that includes a 12-month Switch Online subscription has gone in and out of stock since launch day. Sam's Club has had a bundle without the Switch Online sub as well, though it's out of stock now. We also saw the console at BJ's early on June 5, but it's no longer live there. Verizon briefly had the Switch 2 available on launch day, but that's dried up, and only those with Verizon service were able to order. Amazon hasn't had any form of Switch 2 listing on its website, nor has it listed Mario Kart World . The company didn't take pre-orders for the Switch 2 either, so it's unclear if and when it will sell the device. You can, however, find some Switch 2 games. Newegg has listed the Switch 2 on its site for several weeks, but it's given no indication as to when it'll begin sales. It previous showed a couple listings from a third-party seller, but at massively inflated prices. With all of these stores, we've seen the Mario Kart World bundle available in greater quantities online than the base console, which costs $50 less. But given that Mario Kart is the Switch 2's biggest launch game and retails for $80 on its own, that may not be the worst thing. Nintendo, meanwhile, is only offering the Switch 2 via an invite system. This requires you to have been a Switch Online member for at least 12 months and logged at least 50 hours of Switch 1 playtime as of April 2. It can't hurt to sign up if you meet the criteria, but don't expect it to bear fruit immediately — it's taken weeks for many people who registered in April to receive their invite. You can find a list of every Switch 2 retail listing we could find below. Just be aware that this is meant to be a reference, not a rundown of everywhere the device is available right this second. Where to buy Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle: Where to buy Switch 2: Nintendo is selling a number of Switch 2 accessories alongside the console, from its (pricey) Pro Controller to cases to cameras for the new GameChat feature. Most of these became available on June 5. The same goes for games like Mario Kart World and the Switch 2 version of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom . Another big Switch 2 release, Donkey Kong Bananza , won't be available until mid-July but is still up for pre-order now. As of this publication, just about all Switch 2 games are broadly available. Stock for the accessories remains a little spottier, but most devices are still available at multiple retailers. Nintendo's official Switch 2 carrying cases have been the main exceptions, so you may need to look to third-party alternatives if you want some protection for your console right away.

Justin Thomas Nearly Hits Travelers Championship Official with Driver
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The third round of the Travelers Championship saw Justin Thomas drop 13 spots on the leaderboard after carding a 9 on the 13th hole. However, that was nearly the least of his problems on Saturday. A video that has gone viral on social media shows Thomas hitting a driver tee shot during Moving Day. The 16-time PGA Tour winner is seeing releasing his grip before completing his swing, and the club flies out of his hands, travelling to the edge of the tee box, right into the direction of a volunteer. Fortunately for everyone, the driver edged the volunteer, but did not hit him. Nevertheless, it could have been an extremely dangerous accident. Although not exactly the same, club throwing has recently been in the spotlight. Players such as Wyndham Clark, Jon Rahm, and Rory McIlroy have received varying degrees of criticism for such behavior in the past few weeks. Although the video doesn't show which hole this tee shot was from, it's likely Thomas was already nursing the frustration of the round. As it turns out, after an excellent Friday, he had a Saturday to forget. Thomas started Moving Day without much fanfare, with a birdie on the first hole and a bogey on the second. From there, he parred the next 10 holes, until the debacle arrived on the 13th. Justin Thomas of the United States plays his shot from the seventh tee during the third round of the Travelers Championship 2025 at TPC River Highlands on June 21, 2025 in Cromwell, Connecticut. Justin Thomas of the United States plays his shot from the seventh tee during the third round of the Travelers Championship 2025 at TPC River Highlands on June 21, 2025 in Cromwell, two-time major champion sent his tee shot out of the planet to the left, resulting in a one-stroke penalty. He hit the fairway with his third shot and reached the rough at the edge of the green with his fourth. There, he looked like any double-digit handicapper, needing three strokes to get out of the rough. He then two-putted inside 6 feet for a nine. Thomas responded with a birdie on the 14th hole but parred the final four to finish the round at 3-over. This brought his 54-hole score to 6-under, tying him for 14th place with 18 holes to play. The previous day, Thomas had a completely different experience, carding seven birdies and a bogey for a 64. His scorecard included five consecutive birdies on the back nine, propelling him right into a share of the lead with World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler.
