A: It is. And actually it was pronounced “BOO-gee.” My mother’s name was Diana Ruth Casey. Her little brother, who was 10 years younger than her, started calling her Boogie and, somehow, he got that out of what her real name was and it stuck. In the family, she was called Boogie. It’s really funny because Daddy, when he met her, always called her by her last name. He always called her Casey. Throughout the years, the people who knew her as a little girl called her Boogie, the people who knew her as Daddy’s girlfriend and then wife called her Casey and then, later in life when she was here in California she was Diana. She had different names for different times in her life.

After DeChambeau nailed his tee shot on the par-3, 186-yard 17th hole to within 6 feet, 1 inch of the cup, Cantlay calmly placed his within 2 feet, 4 inches.

“Everybody on this team knows that we can do what we did today,” Robert said through an interpreter. “We tried to do it (in Saturday’s 7-0 loss) too, but that’s something that you can’t do every day. But that’s our goal and our mindset, just go out there and do our best and do what we did today.”
The Mets (63-67) on Sunday won just their eighth game of August. The club has gone 16-27 since the All-Star break, a free fall that included dropping out of first place, a position it held for 90 days, and into third, 7.5 games behind the Braves. The Mets have not sniffed the playoffs in half a decade, and they haven’t won a championship in 35 years.
