Sei Young Kim wins major at Women’s PGA Championship
NEWTOWN SQUARE, Pennsylvania: Sei Young Kim lined up for the putt on the 18th hole that would seal her first LPGA major championship and somehow missed by inches. One member of the gallery — in this instance, roughly 75 officials, photographers and course stragglers — even said “she made it.” Not quite. The 27-year-old South Korean laughed off the rare misstep, tapped in the winner and shed the unwelcome label of winningest golfer on the tour without a major. Kim raised her arms “Rocky” style, hugged her caddie and, at last, was a major champion. Kim chewed up Aronimink Golf Club in record style, shooting a 7-under 63 on Sunday (Monday in Manila) to win the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. She was five strokes better than runner-up Inbee Park, never seriously challenged on the arduous course in suburban Philadelphia. “I’m actually really hiding my tears at the moment,” she said, standing next to the trophy. Her dominance was in plain sight. She finished at 14-under 266. … [Read more...] about Sei Young Kim wins major at Women’s PGA Championship

Coronavirus: Workers must work from home as far as possible, says MOM
Employers must ensure that staff members work from home as far as possible, said the multi-ministry task force handling the coronavirus outbreak, as it turned its attention to securing workplaces. Manpower Minister Josephine Teo said her ministry is looking to increase potential penalties - including stop-work orders and fines - for firms which avoid implementing telecommuting. "Employers must allow your employees to work from home as far as reasonably practicable. This applies to all workplaces regardless of size, and it should be for all times, all days, and not some times, some days," she said at a virtual media conference - the first such briefing by the task force. The Manpower Ministry estimates that only 40 per cent of workers in the Central Business District currently work from home. The new measures on workplaces came as the task force noted the worrying trend of increasing local cases and stressed the importance of safe distancing to protect vulnerable groups like … [Read more...] about Coronavirus: Workers must work from home as far as possible, says MOM
