Rory McIlory was once again in the Top 10 of a PGA Tour event this week at the Travelers Championship with an impressive 18-under score after 72 holes. 

Normally, a showing like that would be more than good enough to a win a tournament, but he finished tied seventh and five shots behind the winner at 23-under, Keegan Bradley. He set the tournament record by one shot. 

TPC River Highlands in Cromwell, Conn. took a shot from McIlroy after he said the course has basically failed to adapt to the club and ball technology that has evolved for the professionals.

"I don’t particularly like when a tournament is like this," McIlroy explained via The New York Post. "Unfortunately, technology has passed this course by, right? It sort of has made it obsolete, especially as soft as it has been with a little bit of rain that we had."

Tournament officials were asked about the conditions at TPC River Highlands this week due to the pros scoring well all over the course. With many rounds in the low 60s, the officials said a cold spring, which rarely happens in the area, didn’t allow the grounds to firm up.

Add in the rain that McIlroy mentioned, and the course becomes even softer, allowing for more aggressive play. When it comes to these PGA Tour pros, they salivate at conditions like these because they know they can go at pins and fairways without the usual risk at other courses. 

Take Los Angeles Country Club for example at last week’s U.S. Open or Oak Hill Country Club for the PGA Championship. Justin Thomas and Max Homa were cut after two rounds at the Open and players like Jon Rahm and Tony Finau barely scraped by at Oak Hill. 

Not every course is going to have treacherous roughs and cunning greens like those two. Yet, McIlroy, who has played virtually everywhere on Tour, made a point to make a comment that shows he believes it needs to get tougher out there. 

Nonetheless, he wasn’t able to score as high as he wanted to. He was off on a tear to start his final round Sunday, though, when he birdied five of the first eight holes he played. But he couldn’t keep that momentum pushing throughout the round. 

It was a great pay day either way. 

"I knew I was never going to win with the way Keegan was playing, but I felt like I probably needed a couple more birdies to finish Top 5," McIlroy said.

The Rocket Mortgage Classic is next on the PGA Tour docket at Detroit Golf Club, which owns a 134 slope rating, measuring the course's difficulty. An average rating is 113. 

Bryan Kohberger's defense team tore into prosecutors' DNA collection, use of genetic genealogy and tracking of a white sedan that allegedly linked their client to the murders of four University of Idaho students.

DNA from three other unidentified males was found at the crime scene, including on a glove found outside the Moscow, Idaho, home where Kaylee Goncalves, 21; Madison Mogen, 21; Xana Kernodle, 20; and Ethan Chapin, 20, were killed in November, according to the June 22 court filing. 

"It remains unclear what the police first relied on in focusing their investigation on Mr. Kohberger," his lawyers wrote in court documents that challenged law enforcement's use of genetic genealogy and questioned how police knew to look for a white Elantra. 

"No matter what came first, the car or the genetic genealogy, the investigation has provided precious little," Kohberger's defense team argued. "There is no connection between Mr. Kohberger and the victims."

Kohberger's lawyers said they are "unaware of what testing, if any, was conducted" on those three DNA samples, the court document says. 

He is accused of killing four Idaho students in an off-campus rental home on Nov. 13, 2022. 

The prosecution's latest filing detailed how authorities came to believe DNA from a knife sheath found near Mogen's body belonged to Kohberger, which was a "statistical match" to DNA from a cheek swab after his arrest.

Police used relatively new and publicly available investigative genetic genealogy techniques, according to the court documents, and the FBI began checking the sample against publicly available DNA databases and subscription-only archives exclusive to law enforcement.

Ultimately, investigators developed a lead and collected a DNA sample from the trash outside the Kohbergers’ Pennsylvania home, found a familial match and collected samples directly from the suspect after his arrest.

However, the defense questioned how law enforcement narrowed the focus to Kohberger and argued prosecutors do not have a right to FBI data unearthed through genetic genealogy sites.

They claimed prosecutors are purposely withholding details of the genetic genealogy profile that was created.

"A massive investigation came to focus on (Kohberger) and (Kohberger) alone," his defense team argued. "The State appears to be trying to hide its original domino such that he cannot discover why."

In last week's filing, the defense argued this information should be released in detail.

"In essence, through the lack of disclosure and their motion to protect the genetic genealogy investigation, the State is hiding its entire case."

Kohberger has been held in jail without bail since he was arrested at his parents' home in Pennsylvania in late December. 

A judge has entered not guilty pleas for Kohberger in his case. His trial is scheduled to begin on Oct. 2, and he could face the death penalty if he is convicted.
