Eddie Pepperell had to keep the golf on.

Here in Britain tonight, a few thousand people are planning to turn the power off for 10 minutes (in about 10 minutes time) to protest about rising energy prices. Valid protest.

But Rory is 7 under through 13 at Augusta.

Sorry guys, no can do.

US to rescind Biden highway climate rule for states
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Transportation Department said on Wednesday it plans to rescind a climate rule adopted by the administration of former President Joe Biden requiring states to measure and set declining targets for greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles using the national highway system. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who was tapped by President Donald Trump, approved a proposal to reverse the Biden rule after it had been blocked by a federal court saying it reflected a "commitment to unleashing American energy and eliminating unlawful regulatory burdens." Separately Duffy said Tuesday he was taking the first step to roll back stringent Corporate Average Fuel Economy standards for passenger vehicles and heavy trucks issued under Biden.
