Jodie Mudd of Louisville won back-to-back U.S. Amateur Public Links titles (1980-81) and four PGA Tour events, including the 1990 Players Championship, while his brother Eddie won the 1976 U.S. Amateur Public Links.

Gov. Andy Beshear took his sweet time responding to Senator Mitch McConnell's recent proof of life photo and medical update. After a month of mostlly silence from the McConnell camp, a statement was finally issued a few days ago.Asked for his reaction, Beshear forged ahead with his thoughts on how more verifiable proof is necessary or perhaps he should move on to find a replacement senator. After 66 seconds, Beshear finally utters "we hope there's a speedy recovery" for the ailing senator.Democrats are demanding that the governor press ahead with a special session to seat someone in McConnell's place.Hang on, kids. McConnell is quite alive. There should have been more McConnell info released on a regular basis, but Democrats circling Mitch's rehab center like buzzards above a carcass is embarrassingly desperate.There's an election for McConnell's replacement in November. Do the work and see who wins.

CNN political voice Scott Jennings, a former WHAS Radio news anchor, joined midday host Leland Conway to discuss misguided media and social media conspiracy theories related to Senator Mitch McConnell's recent hospitalization.Millions of online commentators were assuring each other that McConnell is dead, or brain dead and being kept alive to bypass Governor Andy Beshear's potential to call a special session forcing a vote for replacement. After weeks of unanswered questions, McConnell's office finally released a full medical update and a photo of the senator and his wife Elaine Chao in a Washington D.C. rehab facility. The McConnell team released details of his June 14, 2026 fall and the medical diagnosis reports.Both hardcore Liberals and MAGA stalwarts tried to poke holes in the statements and the photo, claiming McConnell is dead and the photo was either a 2023 reissue or A.I. doctored.It's a reminder once again that nearly half of the population is of below average intelligence.-- synopsis written by WHAS Radio's Terry Meiners --
