Phil Mickelson edged Tiger Woods in their $9 million showdown on Friday, but it took four playoff holes to be decided.

The match was supposed to be available on pay-per-view for $19.99, but there was a technical glitch on the Bleacher Report Live paywall page. They couldn’t fix it, so they just took the paywall down.

And since people were able to watch it for free online, most cable providers are giving refunds to anyone who paid to watch it.

A NASA craft will land on Mars this afternoon.

NASA’s InSight spacecraft will complete its journey to Mars today but first, it has to endure ‘seven minutes of terror’ – the time it takes for a probe to slow down and land on Martian soil.

The spacecraft was launched in May. It’ll be the first Mars landing in 6 years.

You can watch the landing live here: go.nasa.gov/InSightLanding

Our @NASAInSight lander has to flawlessly perform 1000’s of steps in order to travel from the top of Mars’ atmosphere to the surface of the Red Planet. Watch to learn all about the intricate #MarsLanding process—guaranteed to make you hold your breath: https://t.co/cDGwReXtDk pic.twitter.com/3qH95UvWiQ
