Marco Rubio schools CBS during interview over Iran conflict
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has clashed with a CBS reporter during an interview over the Iranian conflict. The interaction came during an interview, where Rubio was questioned about the recent US strikes on Iran. Following strikes between Israel and Iran, the US targeted three nuclear sites in Iran, with US President Donald Trump touting it as a military success. While speaking on CBS' Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan, she questioned the US secretary of state on the US' attack on Iran. Brennan questioned Rubio on whether the US saw intelligence that Iran's Supreme leader had ordered weaponization. Rubio immediately shut down Brennan's question, labelling it as 'irrelevant'.

Door wide open for Keegan Bradley to be Ryder Cup playing captain after Travelers win
It didn't take long after Keegan Bradley's victory Sunday at the Travelers Championship for the U.S. Ryder Cup captain to consider the irony. 'My whole life, every year I was out here, I wanted to play on the Ryder Cup team, and then this would be the first year where maybe I didn't want to,' said Bradley, a two-time Ryder Cupper, though not since 2014, who was named captain exactly a year ago Sunday. 'I just wanted to be the captain and, of course, you know, this is what happens.' For months, Bradley has been adamant that he wouldn't pick himself. The only way he'd be a playing captain, he's said consistently, is if he qualified for the 12-man American team based on points. Even in the moments after he sank a 5-footer for birdie to win the Travelers for the second time in three years, Bradley dodged the obvious question from CBS reporter Amanda Balionis. Have you convinced yourself that you would be additive to this team now? 'Go U.S.A.!' Bradley answered. But once he had settled behind the interview podium, Bradley had allowed himself to be realistic. His win projected to move him not only to seventh in the Official World Golf Ranking but also ninth in U.S. Ryder Cup points. The last time a top-10 player in the world was left off a Ryder Cup team was 2016, when Bubba Watson was denied a spot on the U.S. squad despite being ranked seventh in the world. Bradley is also now 10th in total strokes gained this season on Tour and third in strokes gained tee to green. There's a lot of golf still to be played before the six automatic selections are finalized on Aug. 17 after the BMW Championship and the six captain's pick are chosen following the Tour Championship. But if things were decided today, Bradley would be hard-pressed to not call his own number. He knows it, too. 'This changes the story a little bit,' Bradley said. 'I never would have thought about playing if I hadn't won. This definitely opens the door to play. I don't know if I'm going to do it or not, but I certainly have to take a pretty hard look at what's best for the team, and we'll see.' When Bradley got the call a year ago, then PGA CEO Seth Waugh told Bradley that he wanted him to be the first playing captain since Arnold Palmer in 1963. Palmer would go 4-2 that year at East Lake in a dominating U.S. victory. 'My head was spinning, I didn't know what they were talking about, but they knew that that was a possibility and that we would have things in place for that,' Bradley said. 'But you know I'm always trying to be the best that I can be, and I feel like I'm playing the best golf of my career right now.' Later, while on the Golf Central set with Golf Channel's Rich Lerner and Brandel Chamblee, Bradley said that if he plays at Bethpage Black, he will not relinquish his captaincy. Instead, his assistants – Jim Furyk, Webb Simpson, Kevin Kisner and Brandt Snedeker – would just absorb extra responsibilities. 'I will play if I feel like it will help the team,' Bradley added. Right now, there's no doubt he would. The door is wide open for that.

Cold front brings relief from record heat and renews severe storm threat in Colorado
A cold front will move through overnight Sunday into early Monday, bringing much-needed relief from the heat across Denver and much of Colorado. This front will lead to two big changes for the week ahead: cooler temperatures and the return of storm chances. Highs will be stuck in the 70s and 80s from Monday through Thursday—a refreshing change after the recent stretch of record heat. Scattered thunderstorms will also return to the forecast. Strong to severe storms will be possible on both Monday and Tuesday. Monday will bring garden variety showers for most of the area, with a slight chance for one or two storms to produce hail and gusty winds near Denver. CBS Tuesday will bring a greater threat of severe weather. Damaging winds and large hail will be the main concern along the I-25 corridor and across the Eastern Plains. CBS Storms are expected to develop between 1 and 2 p.m., gaining strength as they move east through the evening hours.

Tommy Fleetwood denied first PGA Tour win on last hole at Travelers Championship
Fleetwood had been defending a three-shot lead following his flawless 63 on Saturday, sitting at 16 under par ahead of Bradley and Russell Henley. However, a couple of early bogeys threatened to derail his bid to end his record of the most top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour since 1983 without claiming a title. "I'm upset now. I'm angry … it hurts." — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) June 22, 2025 The 34-year-old, though, steadied himself around the turn to edge back ahead of Bradley with birdies at the 11th and 13th. Having found a path on the right of the 15th before going on to save par, Fleetwood looked to be on course once again – only to drop another shot at the 16th. Fleetwood then came up short of the green with his second shot on the 18th. Spurred on by a partisan home crowd, Bradley promptly sent his follow-up to within a few feet. Fleetwood's birdie attempt fell short just behind Bradley's marker, with the Englishman then missing his par putt, having to settle for a bogey and a two-over final round. THE LOCAL KID. @Keegan_Bradley IS A WINNER IN CONNECTICUT FOR THE SECOND TIME IN THREE YEARS! 🏆🏆#TravelersChamp — TravelersChamp (@TravelersChamp) June 22, 2025 The American – who could yet qualify as a playing captain at Bethpage Black in September – then nervelessly rolled in a birdie to finish at 15 under, sparking wild celebrations around the 18th green. 'I feel like from where I was, I should at least be in a play-off,' Fleetwood said. 'I didn't really feel like I hit that many bad shots execution-wise, just sort of a couple of bad decisions and didn't clean 'em up, which is pretty poor and things that I have to work on.' Fleetwood added: 'I haven't been in this situation for a while. When it sort of calms down – I am upset now, I am angry – but when it calms down, I will look at the things that I did well and look at the things that I can learn from. 'I did plenty of things well enough this week to win, but I didn't do that and it hurts.' 273-yard 5-iron around a tree 👀 Special shot from Rory McIlroy. 📺 CBS — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) June 22, 2025 Henley chipped in from the edge of the green on the 18th to secure a tie for second with Fleetwood at 14 under. Harris English and Australian Jason Day finished at 13 under in a tie for fourth. World number one Scottie Scheffler and Masters champion Rory McIlroy both shot five-under-par final rounds to get to 12 under and finish in a share of sixth place. Newly-crowned US Open champion JJ Spaun had the best round of the day, starting off at the 10th, as he carded a seven-under 63 to climb up into the top 15. Viktor Hovland had earlier withdrawn on the third hole of his final round because of a neck injury.
