Special master

South Korean golfer Ahn Sun-ju, who won 28 titles in Japan and was money-list champion four times, has announced her retirement from professional golf. Her final tournament will be the Masters GC Ladies, which she called her farewell match in Japan, describing the country as her second home. She played her last round at a course holding special memories, saying she wants to smile more going forward.

A federal judge in California will appoint a special master in a voting-related case, delaying the Justice Department's effort to intervene quickly in the dispute. The ruling slows the DOJ's attempt to enter the proceedings on an expedited basis, with the special master expected to review matters before the court moves forward.

A federal judge says he is considering appointing a special master to evaluate claims by the Trump administration that California has roughly 20,000 noncitizens on its voter rolls. The dispute is playing out in court as part of a broader legal fight over election administration and voting access between the administration and Democratic-led California.
