COLORADO SPRINGS — The 2025 U.S. Senior Open will be remembered as a four-day duel between Padraig Harrington and Stewart Cink at The Broadmoor that went down to the 72nd hole. But there will also be fond memories of the electric charge Miguel Angel Jimenez put into the final day by storming up the Sunday leaderboard with the round of the tournament. Jimenez roared from six shots back early in his day to get within one stroke of Harrington’s lead before settling for third place. His final tally: A bogey on the first and last holes, but in between was…

This one went to 11, but that was quite all right with the Rockies, who notched perhaps their most satisfying — and unlikely — win of the season on Sunday afternoon. Utility outfielder Kyle Farmer ripped a single up the middle off Grant Anderson to score Brenton Doyle, who opened the inning at second base, lifting the Rockies to a 4-3, 11-inning victory over the Brewers. The Rockies avoided a three-game sweep, snapped a five-game losing streak and claimed the first extra-inning win of their “This is Spinal Tap” season. The Rockies’ record stands at 19-65. Farmer, who replaced Mickey…

Today is Monday, June 30, the 181st day of 2025. There are 184 days left in the year. Today in history: On June 30, 1934, Adolf Hitler launched his “blood purge” of political and military rivals in Germany in what came to be known as the “Night of the Long Knives.” Also on this date: In 1918, labor activist and socialist Eugene V. Debs was arrested in Cleveland, charged under the Espionage Act of 1917 for a speech he had made two weeks earlier in which he denounced U.S. involvement in World War I. (Debs was sentenced to prison and…

All week, players raved about the resort, the challenging East Course, and the trademark Centennial State surroundings.

BOULDER — When Xcel Energy stopped burning coal at its Valmont Power Station in 2017, it left 1.6 million tons of toxic coal ash on the property, and now that waste is leaking hazardous metals into groundwater, threatening nearby drinking-water wells.

The project awaits approval from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. The utility company expects to spend $24 million over the next 10 to 12 years to remove…

By PHILIP MARCELO and TED SHAFFREY NEW YORK — The monthlong celebration of LGBTQ+ Pride reached its rainbow-laden crescendo Sunday as huge crowds took part in jubilant, daylong street parties from New York to San Francisco. Pride celebrations typically weave politics and protest alongside the colorful pageantry, but this year’s iterations took a decidedly more defiant stance as Republicans, led by President Donald Trump, have sought to roll back LGBTQ+ friendly policies. The theme of the festivities in Manhattan was, appropriately, “Rise Up: Pride in Protest.” San Francisco’s Pride theme was “Queer Joy is Resistance,” while Seattle was simply “Louder.”…
