  More than 1,200 rescuers were deployed, assisted by thermal-imaging drones and radar detectors, according to state media.

The operation continued through the night into Sunday morning, during which time a further drop in temperature made the search even more difficult, China's Xinhua news agency reported.

The deaths have sparked public outrage on Chinese social media, with anger mainly directed at the Baiyin government and unhappiness over the lack of contingency planning.

In a press conference on Sunday, Baiyin's Mayor Zhang Xuchen said: "As the organiser of the event, we are full of guilt and remorse. We express deep condolences and sympathy to the families of the victims and the injured."

Phil Mickelson, the Jamie Moyer of golf, could win the PGA.

NOBODY cares about dead runners.

8th playoff hole between English and Hickock in the Travelers. Both on in 2 Hickock misses putt, down in two.

English lines up...and has a chance to win. And...he won it!!!

https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/14/sport/phil-mickelson-9-11-liv-golf-us-open-spt-intl/index.html

Phil Mickelson says he has deep sympathy for the families who lost somebody in the 9-11 attacks, but doesn't feel it should have any impact on his taking millions of dollars from Saudi Arabia.

Oddly enough, I think his press conference left his audience unmoved. OTOH, it seems as if he can LIV with that.

Interesting topic

Have to wonder if over the years the PGA being the only game in town may have done some things players weren't too keen on.

2 tours it is

For good I would think.  No switching back.

I'm guessing the $200 million he took will help him LIV with it.
