Deadly Flooding Hits Again

Authorities on Monday found the body of a 42-year-old motorist swept away by floodwaters early Sunday in Buckeye.

The remnants of Hurricane Priscilla caused disruptions elsewhere, forcing delays at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, multiple US 60 closures, and event cancellations.

Globe received another round of heavy rain, triggering flash floods for the second time since that area’s deadly flooding in late September. Watch.

In the Globe and Miami area, water overtopped bridges and inundated streets, prompting evacuation orders—since lifted—for mobile home parks and low-lying neighborhoods.

Five Cities Among Top Golf Getaways

Arizona dominated a report from The Action Network ranking the nation’s best golf destinations for 2025, with five cities in the state placing in the top 20.

The report evaluated cities based on course availability, lodging costs, climate, and overall playability.

Scottsdale topped the list with a near-perfect score, offering one of the highest concentrations of public golf courses, while Yuma ranked third, scoring for reliable climate and lodging cost.

Goodyear, Mesa, and Phoenix also earned spots in the top 20.

College Tennis Player Extends Hot Streak

University of Arizona tennis player Jay Friend made school history, becoming the first Wildcat to win an ATP Tour Challenger tournament and an Intercollegiate Tennis Association National Championship in the same season.

Friend won the Fairfield Challenger championship match on Sunday in California, defeating Pepperdine’s Edward Winter in a tournament that also featured some veteran professional players.

Friend’s wins build on his success during last spring’s college season, when he earned First Team All-American honors and the ITA Rafael Osuna Sportsmanship Award. He will compete next at the Lincoln Challenger in Lincoln, Nebraska.
