The Satanic Temple brought its statue of a goat-headed, winged creature named Baphomet to the Arkansas Capitol during a rally to protest a Ten Commandments monument already on Capitol grounds.
The rally Thursday drew about 150 people. Several speakers called for the removal of the Ten Commandments monument or for officials to install Baphomet as well. But the statue of Baphomet, who is seated and accompanied by two smiling children, can't be installed under a 2017 state law that requires legislative sponsorship for consideration of any monument.
The Ten Commandments monument was installed quietly in 2017. Less than 24 hours after its installation, a man drove his car into the monument, smashing it to pieces. A replacement monument, fortified with concrete barriers, was put in place earlier this year.
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — Charlie Woods failed to advance in a U.S. Open local qualifying event Thursday, shooting a 9-over 81 at Legacy Golf & Tennis Club.
The 15-year-old son of Tiger Woods tied for 61st among the 74 players who finished. The top five advanced to regional qualifying.
Woods shot 40 on the front nine, opening bogey-double bogey. He followed a birdie on the par-3 fifth with another double bogey. He shot 41 on the back with three bogeys and a double bogey.
The U.S. Open will be played June 13-16 at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina.
Woods also struggled in February in a pre-qualifier for the PGA Tour's Cognizant Classic, taking a 12 on a hole and shooting a 16-over 86 at Lost Lake Golf Club in Hobe Sound.
Woods has played the 36-hole PNC Championship with his father the last four years in a scramble format.
