People in Savanah, Georgia, still talk about the 1994 homicide of Milton Bradley, a 72-year-old World War II veteran who was one of six people slain by serial killer Gary Ray Bowles.
The 57-year-old Bowles is scheduled to be executed by lethal injection at Florida State Prison on Thursday. He confessed to Bradley's killing but was never tried or convicted for it. He was convicted and condemned to death, however, for the murder of Walter Hinton in Jacksonville Beach, Florida, in November 1994.
Bradley's killing shocked Savannah, particularly since he was known as a gentle, generous soul who talked with everyone and gave to those in need.
Mark Bradley said his uncle's kindness may have been why Bowles targeted him. It's also what people still remember about him.
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.
