LATTA, S.C. - May 11, 2021 - (Newswire.com)

Laura Gasque, a former pastor in the UMC, and a retired elementary school teacher, has completed her new book, "Strength and Encouragement": a potent and enlightening spiritual journey through powerful poems and scriptures that keep people's souls lifted and give people strength and courage to overcome their darkness hours.

Laura writes, "Everyone needs extra strength and encouragement in their walk with the Lord. As we journey in our Christian life, we experience sickness and death, loneliness and suffering, and fear and doubt. Sometimes we do not understand ourselves or God, or we want to give up. At other times, we may need a reminder of the true meaning of Easter, Christmas, repentance, and forgiveness. In some instances, we are searching for a meditation to help us praise the Lord or one to push us toward serving others. The poems, reflections, and scriptures in this book can offer us a special word from the Lord for these times, helping us to be strong and courageous, leading us to a spiritual place that is closer to His heart and to the hope we need to continue this lifelong journey of faith."

Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Laura Gasque's new book is an encouraging work that allows readers to start their spiritual journey with God and appreciate the gift of poetry that spread the good news of the Lord and touch the hearts of people, giving them the strength and courage to walk with the Lord.

Readers can purchase "Strength and Encouragement" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, or Barnes & Noble.

Brennan dominates PGA Tour in Japan   

YOKOHAMA, Japan — Michael Brennan won the Baycurrent Classic on Sunday for his second victory of the season and third on the PGA Tour in the last calendar year, closing with six straight pars for a 3-under 68 and a one-stroke victory over Jacob Bridgeman and Keith Mitchell. Brennan, who shared the 54-hole lead with Bridgeman and Zach Bauchou, rebounded from a bogey on the 10th hole with birdies on the next two holes before his run of pars at hilly Yokohama Country Club. One of those pars was a long bunker shot to a foot on the 16th. He finished at 16-under 268. Brennan won the Bank of Utah Championship on Oct. 26, 2025, on a sponsor exemption. The 24-year-old from Wake Forest also won the Wyndham Championship two months ago. This was only his 33rd start on tour. Bridgeman missed a 5-foot birdie putt on the 17th and closed with a 69. Mitchell played the final 10 holes in 2 over for a 68. Defending champion Xander Schauffele was one shot behind playing the 18th, drove into the trees and made double bogey for a 67 to tie for fourth. European tour MADRID — Grant Forrest got up-and-down for birdie on the reachable par-4 18th for a 2-under 70 and a one-shot victory in the Spanish Open on Sunday, earning the 33-year-old from Scotland his first trip to Augusta National for the Masters. Forrest was tied with late-charging Victor Perez of France going to the 322-yard closing hole. Both drove into rough just beyond the green, their golf balls separated by the length of their shoes. Perez chipped to 10 feet and missed. Forest’s chip ran out to just over 3 feet for the winning putt. The victory also gets Forrest into the British Open, which he has played twice previously. The closest he came to the Masters was in 2015 when he was runner-up in the British Amateur. Forrest, who finished at 14-under 270, capped off a tense finish that featured five players with a chance in the final hour. Eugenio Chacarra and Jacob Skov Olesen fell back with bogeys on the 17th. Chacarra (66) tied for second, moving him to No. 2 in the Race to Dubai. PGA Tour Champions PALM COAST, Florida — Vaughn Taylor closed with a 4-under 68 and made a 10-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole Sunday to defeat Alex Cejka in the Constellation Furyk & Friends, his first PGA Tour Champions title and his first victory anywhere in more than 10 years.

Mike Evans caught seven passes for 113 yards, including a two-yard touchdown toss from Brock Purdy after a Renardo Green interception and a crucial two-point conversion. “Toughness and heart,” Evans said. “We’ve got a locker room full of those guys. We knew it was going to be a dogfight. They’re a great team. We showed we’re a great team as well.” Fred Warner knocked lose a fumble by Emanuel Wilson that Malik Mustapha recovered one play before Christian McCaffrey ran for a San Francisco touchdown. Gracen Halton recovered a George Holani fumble in the end zone to give the 49ers a 21-13 halftime lead.

Purdy flipped a seven-yard touchdown pass to Brandin Cooks and the conversion to Evans for a 29-26 49ers’ lead, only for Jason Myers to equalize from 40 yards on his fifth field goal, setting up the final drama.

MANILA, Philippines -- Filipino tennis ace and world No. 19 Alex Eala suffered her worst lost of the 2026 season after falling to Chinese qualifier and world No. 217 Shi Han, 6-4, 3-6, 3-6, in the WTA 1000 Wuhan Open at the Dongfeng Voyah Center Court in China late Monday night.  Finding herself on the wrong end of another upset loss, Eala lost steam after taking a 3-2 lead in the second set as Shi won six straight games to tie at 1-1 and lead at 3-0 in the decider.

Swimmer Kim Woo-min avoids surgery on injured shoulder, set for rehab

Olympic swimming medalist Kim Woo-min will not need surgery on his injured left shoulder as originally feared, his agency said Monday, with the 25-year-old set for a rehab to prepare for next year's world championships. An official with All That Sports said Kim went through tests after the recent Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, where he competed through partially torn labrum and rotator cuff, and doctors concluded that the swimmer will not require surgery after all. Instead, Kim will be tested after every two or three weeks as he goes through rehab and low-intensity training, the official added. Kim is the 2024 Olympic bronze medalist in the men's 400-meter freestyle event who also won three gold medals at the 2023 Asian Games. At this year's Asiad, Kim competed through his injury in the men's 4x200m freestyle relay and helped South Korea take bronze on Sept. 21, before aggravating shoulder issues in the men's 1,500m final the next day. Kim still raced in the heats for the men's 4x100m freestyle relay on the morning of Sept. 24, with South Korea going on to win silver in the final. Kim did not

No Korean left in MLB postseason with Kim Hye-seong off Dodgers' NLCS roster

No Korean player remains in the ongoing major league postseason with the Los Angeles Dodgers having left infielder Kim Hye-seong off their 26-man roster for the National League Championship Series (NLCS). The Dodgers have opted to carry 13 pitchers, one more than during the National League Division Series (NLDS) against the Atlanta Braves last week, with left-hander Justin Wrobleski joining the roster. Kim, who appeared in one game against the Braves as a defensive replacement, was the odd man out. The Dodgers opened the NLCS with a 2-1 loss against the Milwaukee Brewers on the road at American Family Field in Milwaukee on Sunday (local time). Last fall, Kim was on the Dodgers roster as a big league rookie during their run to their second straight World Series title. No Korean player has won back-to-back World Series championship rings. Kim played in 71 regular-season games last year but was limited to just 43 games this year. He spent almost all of the season's second half in the minors before the Dodgers recalled him at the end of September. Kim batted .259 with five steals this year, c
