Good Morning! On this day in 1918, lawmen confronted fugitive draft evaders John and Tom Power at their Galiuro Mountains cabin, triggering a gunfight and Arizona's then-largest manhunt.

We asked, you answered. Most respondents picked Budweiser's American Icons ad as their Super Bowl favorite. The spot features a Clydesdale horse and a bald eagle.

Today's sponsor, Incogni, helps lock down your personal data by automatically removing it from hundreds of data broker sites, so identity thieves don't get an easy shot.

Spring Training Arrives

Major League Baseball pitchers and catchers will report to their Phoenix Valley spring training facilities today as the Arizona Diamondbacks and other Cactus League teams prepare for the 2026 season.

Full squads are set to report over the coming week.

Spring training games will start Feb. 20, with the Diamondbacks opening against the Colorado Rockies. See the full spring training schedule.

For the Diamondbacks, key storylines include the impact of new and returning players, which arms emerge in the bullpen, and whether the team's defense can rebound.

The Cactus League features 15 teams and 10 ballparks, offering fans a way to get a close look at veterans and top prospects ahead of the regular season.

Minimally Invasive Heart Valve Repair Debuts

Banner Health's University Medical Center Phoenix became the first hospital in the U.S. to perform a minimally invasive procedure to repair leaky mitral heart valves.

Dr. Paul Sorajja repaired a heart valve using an AMEND Ring delivered via a small catheter inserted through a blood vessel, reducing pain, scarring, and recovery time compared with traditional open-heart surgery.

"Being first in the nation to offer this procedure isn't just about innovation—it's about giving our patients access to potentially life-changing treatment right here in their own community," Sorajja said.

The procedure also provides an option for patients ineligible for conventional surgery and those seeking faster recovery while preserving future treatment flexibility.

Gotterup Tames Course and Crowd

A golf tournament known for the PGA Tour's biggest crowds delivered a thrilling finish on Sunday, as Chris Gotterup rallied to beat Hideki Matsuyama with a clutch birdie on the first playoff hole.

An estimate of this year's crowd size for the WM Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale was not immediately available, but the tournament routinely draws about 200,000 on peak days and more than 500,000 over its four-day run.

Entering the final round down by a stroke, Gotterup surged with five birdies over his last six holes. Matsuyama, a two-time Phoenix Open champion, faltered with wayward tee shots on hole 18 in regulation and the playoff.

The 26-year-old Gotterup has won two of his first three starts of the 2026 season.

Scammers don't guess—they look you up

Most scams don't start with malware—they start with public data. Addresses, phone numbers, and relatives are often obtained from data brokers and people search sites. That's why scam calls can sound calm, specific, and legitimate.

Incogni helps reduce this exposure by removing personal data from these sources and monitoring for re-listing. When less of your information is easy to find, impersonation gets much harder.
