After day one Elliot's 18-hole score of 84 looked secure in sixth place of the 30 man field while freshman Bryce Good missed the two day cut, shooting a 114. Day two turned...

The Washington Poison Center has treated 10 people so far this year who have eaten poison-hemlock (Conium maculatum). Because not all incidents are reported, that might be only the tip of the iceberg.
