jaingitbby CHARLOTTE, N. [url=http://www.officialoklahomacitythunderjersey.com/...ll-westbrook-jerseys]Russell Westbrook Jersey[/url] .C. -- Martin Truex Jr. fired his pit crew after a botched final stop at Richmond, and Michael Waltrip Racing responded Tuesday with four personnel changes for the driver. Truex doesnt have any actual authority to fire his crew, but he did over his team radio Saturday night when a bad stop cost him a decent finish. "I appreciate the fact that MWR addressed the issue and were moving on," Truex said in a statement. Truex has had a tough year despite having strong cars through the first part of the season. His good runs have been ruined by either mechanical issues or crew mistakes, and he goes into this Saturday nights race at Darlington Raceway ranked 22nd in the standings with just one top-10 finish. "We had a very good car at Richmond. It was the best car Ive ever had there," Truex said. "Weve run well and have very little to show for it. But in Richmond, it was hard not to say anything when our night ended the way it did. I got pretty upset. We pour our entire lives into NASCAR and it is not an easy sport. If a job is not getting done, then a change needs to be made." Truex will have new tire carriers and tire changers for both the front and the rear of the No. 56 Toyota. Two of the crew members come from MWRs backup crew, while two were promoted from the Nationwide Series. "As we know, the No. 56 has experienced several challenges on pit road and we feel the need to intervene," MWR director of competition Steve Hallam said. "Pit crews are professional sportsmen and as such, they understand that sometimes changes need to be made."

Not so typical was the reaction. He backpedaled as the ball rolled toward the hole, and when he saw it fall, Woods turned and slammed his cap to the ground. It gave him a one-shot victory over Bart Bryant, his fifth victory in the Arnold Palmer Invitational. I saw the highlights that night, and I didnt know I went that crazy, Woods said Wednesday. But evidently, I did. Woods could use a few moments like that. The Masters is three weeks away, and the status of Woods game remains somewhat of a mystery. He has played only six competitive rounds at two tournaments since reconstructive knee surgery after winning the U.S. Open last June. Woods was reminded of how long he has been away when he arrived early Wednesday for his pro-am round. It was his first time playing a pro-am since Bay Hill last year. The Masters, U.S. Open and two World Golf Championships - the only tournaments he has played since last year - dont have them. He was surprised how quickly his game has returned, even if the results arent evident. He lost in the second round of the Accenture Match Play Championship and tied for ninth two weeks ago in the CA Championship at Doral. I think its taken less time to get my feel back for my game, Woods said. I thought it would take a little bit longer. The question mark to me was how many rounds could I play? How much golf could I play? Thats probably been the greatest positive is Ive been able to recover from day-to-day and not feel a thing. The negative - especially at Doral - has been the putting. Woods ranked 74th out of the 79 players who finished at Doral in putts per round. Then he played in the Tavistock Cup, an exhibition at Lake Nona, and didnt make much there, either. Whats peculiar about his victory last year was that the hat-slamming celebration had more to do with a full swing. Woods still remembers every detail about the 18th hole, playing in the final group with Bryant already in with a 9-under-par, 271 total. The wind was helping from the left when he hit his tee shot, and with a hole location back and to the right, its a fairly simple shot. When we were walking up the hill, it totally switched. It came in off the right, Woods said. If he got his shot up in the air, the wind could drop it into the water. If he tried to ride the wind, the ball could land in the back bunker. So he settled on a shot that separates him from the rest of the field - a five-iron from 161 yards to 25 feet. I just chipped a little five-iron in there, and it felt sweet to hit that little shot, just a little bit left of the hole, right around one of the signs that we had picked ouut (as a target). [url=http://www.niketampabaybuccaneers.com/]2012 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Nike Jersey[/url]. And I left myself a putt at it. Would he have slammed his hat if the shot had required a simple eight-iron? No, Woods said with a smile. In his mind, great shots dont count if he doesnt make the putt. Call it a Corey Pavin moment, a reference to Pavin hitting 4-wood to about five feet on the 18th hole at Shinnecock Hills, only to miss the putt (but he still won the 1995 U.S. Open). The happiest Woods has ever been in the second round of a major was at Hazeltine in the 2002 PGA Championship when he hit a stunning bunker shot with a three-iron, over a tree into a 40-kilometre an hour wind gust to 12 feet. Yes, he made the putt. Will he make any at Bay Hill? I wasnt that far off, Woods said of Doral. I hit the lip 20 times for birdie on the first three days, and thats a lot. Some of those fall in, you get a little bit of momentum. I didnt get any of that. He is the defending champion at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, but not necessarily the favourite, despite winning five times. No course has ever been more feast-or-famine for Woods. Along with those five victories, he has finished out of the top-20 four times. The Players Championship is the only tournament where he has finished out of the top-20 more often. And the field is strong, even though it is missing six of the top 10 players in the world - Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia, Geoff Ogilvy, Henrik Stenson, Robert Karlsson and Camilo Villegas. It does include Padraig Harrington, who is slowly finding his form before going to Augusta National with a chance to join Woods and Ben Hogan as the only players to win three straight majors since the Masters began in 1934. The Irishman has not played Bay Hill since 2000, when he didnt break par and missed the cut. This is one of the tough courses on the tour, Harrington said. Ill be interested to see how my game matches up to it compared to when I played it back in 98 and 2000, and I obviously found it difficult then. I know its still a tough golf course, but hopefully, Ill be a little better equipped to handle it. Palmer, the tournament host, has rarely been so pleased with his golf course, saying it was as good as I have ever seen it in my 40-odd years here at the Bay Hill Club. Woods was particularly impressed with the greens, which are lush and smooth with heavy overseeding during the winter. And that could be what Woods needs to feel more confident about his game. Even so, the worlds No. 1 player isnt worried - and neither is the tournament host. I think he could win any tournament he wants to at this point in time, Palmer said. Know him as I do, he will make every effort. ' ' '

jaingitbby The Maximum Fighting Championship has added a welterweight matchup to complete its co-main event for the upcoming MFC 26: Retribution card. [url=http://www.robertgriffiniiijerseys.com/]Robert Griffin III Jersey[/url] . Ryan "The Real Deal" Ford, returning to the MFC after a year-and-a-half absence, will face American Top Team product Douglas "The Phenom" Lima. The Ford-Lima matchup shares main-event status and tops the card with the recently announced lightweight title fight between reigning belt-holder Antonio "Mandingo" McKee and Brazilian challenger Luciano Azevedo. "For the remainder of 2010 and into 2011, the Maximum Fighting Championships top priority will be making its own stars," noted MFC Owner/President Mark Pavelich. "Ryan Ford and Douglas Lima have a great opportunity in the MFC to become internationally known hot commodities, and the same goes for guys like Luciano Azevedo, Tom Watson, and Ryan Jimmo. Even Antonio McKee, who has an incredible record and has not lost in seven years, can really step forward and make his name bigger than it has ever been before." Ford (12-2) is a former two-time challenger for the MFC welterweight title and is eagerly eyeing a return to the top of the organizations 170-pound division. The Edmonton, Alberta, native is riding a four-fight winning streak coming into the matchup against Lima – the biggest of those victories being a first-round submission verdict over reality show competitor Tommy Speer back in March. Ford began his mixed martial arts career under the MFC banner in 2007. Ford worked his way into two title fights by taking out a list of opponents including C.J. Fernandes and Pete Spratt. Ford fell short in his two quests for the MFC belt, dropping a pair of battles to rugged veteran Pat Healy. Lima (14-4) has earned stoppage victories in 12 of his verdicts – four by knockout and eight by submission. The Goainia, Brazil, native, who has signed a three-fight contract with the MFC, trains under trainer Roan Carneiro at American Top Teams Atlanta operation and is also an instructor at the camp. A brown belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and a Muay Thai practitioner, Lima is a decorated competitor, holding multiple titles in the North American Grappling Association.. Lima has had two long runs of success in his MMA career, with five- and six-fight winning streaks to his credit. [url=http://www.nikedetroitlions.com/]2012 Detroit Lions Nike Jersey[/url] .

HEFEI - Guan Luofei has worked in rural areas of East Chinas Anhui Province for almost three years since graduating from college. He is now at a crossroads -- should he go back to the city to look for a job or continue his career in rural Anhui? Guan graduated from Anhui Communications Vocational and Technical College in 2008, when the urban employment situation for graduates was grave and the Chinese government was encouraging graduates to work for grassroots organizations in rural areas. After graduating, Guan began work in Mulan Village, Feixi County, as an assistant to the head of the village. The term of employment was three years. Without his parents and the urban life to which he was accustomed, Guan initially felt lonely. But he soon got used to rural life and began to build his own social network in the village. I came here hoping to serve the locals. Over the past two years, I have forged friendship with many villagers my age. I have also learnt much that one could never read in a textbook, he said. China launched its nationwide campaign to encourage university graduates to work in grassroots organizations in rural areas in 2008. Currently, there are 200,000 university and college graduates, just like Guan, working in the rural areas. As the term of Guans employmeent contract approached, he needed to make a decision for his future. [url=http://www.officialphiladelphia76ersjersey.com//andre-iguodala-jerseys]Andre Iguodala Jersey[/url]. He had several choices -- going back to the city to take the national civil servant recruitment examination, finding other city-based employment or returning to university for further studies. The Ministry of Education said in July 2010 that China has about 1.76 million jobless graduates, about 27.8 percent of those who graduated in the previous month, June 2010. Guan eventually decided to stay in the countryside. He launched an ecological agriculture company in the village with 13 peers who were also working in rural areas after graduating from universities. After working in the countryside for over two years, I realize there is great career potential in rural areas, said Guan. I got familiar with the local surroundings and now have a deep understanding of agriculture. I am confident about our companys prospects, he added. Guan and his peers grow asparagus lettuce and garlic on a 105 mu (about seven acres) patch of land. The year 2011 is a new start, Guan said. We share a common goal -- to create our own brand of vegetables and to help local farmers get richer. For me, choosing to stay in countryside meant a new lifestyle. I do lots of things everyday. Though sometimes they are difficult, I am satisfied. ' ' '

jaingitbby INDIANAPOLIS - Paul Tracy is doing anything he can to land a ride in the IRL. [url=http://www.officialbostonceltics.com/kevin-garnett-jersey]Kevin Garnett Jersey[/url] . The Toronto native is calling other teams, shopping his services, even checking with the man who cost him an Indianapolis 500 win. Tony George, the IRL founder and now owner of Vision Racing, said Tuesday that Tracys business manager called Monday seeking help in finding Tracy a ride this season. Id like to see Paul here at Indy, George said. If it would be with Vision Racing, that would be great. If its with another team, that would be great. It is kind of unfortunate, some would say a travesty that hes not here today. The mere thought of pairing George and Tracy seems unlikely. Tracy stayed with the former CART series when George founded the IRL, and then in his first race back at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2002, appeared to take the lead near the end of the Indy 500 by passing Helio Castroneves when there was an accident behind the leaders. IRL president Brian Barnhart ruled, however, that Tracys pass came after the yellow flag had already waved, relegating Tracy to second. The race finished under caution with Castroneves winning his second straight Indy title. Tracys team appealed the ruling, and more than a month after the race ended, George upheld Castroneves victory. Tracy has not raced at the historic 2 1/2-mile oval since. That seemed certain to change this season when the IRL and Champ Car World Series, the successor to CART, announced in February they had agreed to a merger. The long-anticipated move unified Americas two biggest open-wheel series and appeared to pave the way for Champ Cars most familiar name, Tracy, to run full-time in the IRL. Instead, Tracys team owner, Gerald Forsythe decided not to compete in Indy cars this year and focus on the developmental Atlantic Series. The decision left Tracy, the 2003 CART champion, out of a ride. Since then, Tracy has been looking elsewhere for an opening. Phone messages were left for Tracy on Tuesday by The Associated Press.

Michael Cuddyer homered twice for the Twins, who remained 3 1/2 games behind AL Central-leading Detroit. Minnesota has won nine of its last 11 contests. Jon Rauch (2-0) notched his second victory in as many appearances with the Twins as he pitched the top of the ninth inning. LONDON -- All that success finally caught up to Novak Djokovic. A weary Djokovic finished his spectacular season by losing more matches in three days than he did in the first seven months of the year, earning the top-ranked Serb an early exit in the ATP World Tour Finals. After winning three Grand Slam titles and seizing the No. 1 ranking from Rafael Nadal before having the last few months derailed by injuries, Djokovic had simply run out of energy coming into the season-ending tournament. "What is missing ... is that freshness," Djokovic said after losing 3-6, 6-3, 6-3 to fellow Serb Janko Tipsarevic in their final group match. "The will to win, just being on the court, giving 100 per cent. Im not able to do that now because I just have very little left." Despite finishing the group stage with a 1-2 record, Djokovic would have reached the knockout rounds if Tomas Berdych had lost to David Ferrer in the final round-robin match, but the seventh-seeded Czech rallied from a set and a break down to beat David Ferrer 3-6, 7-5, 6-1 to grab the last semifinal spot. Ferrer will face Roger Federer in Saturdays first semifinal, before Berdych takes on Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, as the three highest ranked players in the world failed to make it out of the group stage. Second-ranked Rafael Nadal was eliminated after losing to Tsonga on Thursday, while No. 3 Andy Murray pulled out injured following his opening loss to Ferrer. Djokovic, meanwhile, can start packing his bag for the Maldives, where he plans to join Tipsarevic for a vacation next week as he tries to recharge for next year. "I look forward to go for a much needed rest," he said. "I had an unbelievable year. Nothing can really ruin that. I will always remember this year as the best of my life." Still, it was a disappointing end to one of the greatest seasons tennis has ever seen. Djokovic went undefeated in 2011 until losing to Federer in the French Open semifinals. His next loss didnt come until he had to retire with an injury against Andy Murray in the final of the Cincinnati Masters in August. In between, he had beaten Nadal for his first Wimbledon title and then again defeated the SSpaniard in the U. [url=http://www.officialphiladelphia76ersjerseys.com//julius-erving-jerseys]Julius Erving Jersey[/url]. S. Open final. But he hurt his back in that final and had to retire from a decisive singles match in Serbias Davis Cup semifinal against Argentinas Juan Martin del Potro the next weekend, leading to a six-week injury layoff. In his return in Basel, he lost to Kei Nishikori of Japan in the semifinals, and then withdrew before his quarter-final against Tsonga in Paris. In all, he won 10 tournaments and came into London with a 69-4 record. But after beating Berdych in three sets in his first match, he lost 6-3, 6-1 to Ferrer on Wednesday, which tied for the worst defeat for a No. 1-ranked player since 1983. Against Tipsarevic, Djokovic showed flashes of the spectacular shotmaking that made him practically unbeatable earlier in the year, but he was broken twice in each of the last two sets, and sent a forehand into the net on Tipsarevics third match point. "I lost a match that I think I was on the way to win," Djokovic said. "But if this is my last match in the Masters Cup, Ill be happy because I think, at least comparing to the match against Ferrer, I played a little bit better." Tipsarevic entered the tournament as an alternate after Murray pulled out and had no chance of advancing after losing his first match to Berdych -- but still managed to earn his first win in four meetings against his fellow Serb. "Not trying to undermine my performance or my victory today, (but) I can freely say that this was not Novak Djokovic from the U.S. Open or Wimbledon," Tipsarevic said. "Which is in a way normal. He won everything a person can win. He had the best season, if Im not mistaken, in the history of this sport." Djokovics season looked set to continue when Ferrer took control of the match against Berdych, twice going up a break in the second set. But the Czech broke back immediately both times, before breaking for a third time when the Spaniard sent a backhand long on set point. Ferrer, who had already qualified for the semis by winning his first two matches, then offered little resistance in the third, as Berdych raced out to a 5-0 lead before clinching the victory with a forehand volley.

jaingitbby (Sports Network) - Southpaw Nate Robertson can get his team back to . [url=http://www.officialmiamiheatjersey.com/lebron-james-jersey]LeBron James Jersey[/url] .500 and himself a game above when the Florida Marlins host the Milwaukee Brewers today in the holiday opener of a four-game series at Sun Life Stadium. The Marlins enter at 25-26 after taking the finale of a three-game series with the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday. Anibal Sanchez tossed 6 2/3 scoreless innings and three relievers finished off the shutout, as Florida topped Philadelphia, 1-0. Sanchez (5-2) struck out seven and scattered three hits and three walks, while Taylor Tankersley, Clay Hensley and Leo Nunez silenced the Phillies the rest of the way to snap Floridas four-game slide. Ronny Paulino, who made the final out of Roy Halladays perfect game on Saturday, drove in the games only run. The Marlins are last in the five-team National League East, but trail the first-place Phillies by just four games. Robertson, a 1999 draft choice of Florida who debuted in the big leagues three seasons later before going to Detroit for seven years, came back to the Marlins for 2010 and has split eight decisions in 10 starts. He was 4-3 after a 7-5 defeat of the New York Mets on May 15, but has subsequently dropped a decision to St. Louis and got no verdict in a May 26 game with Atlanta after allowing two hits and an unearned run in six innings. Florida lost the game, 7-3, and is 4-6 in games Robertson has pitched. Hes faced the Brewers twice in his career, making one start and carrying a 2.45 earned run average across 7 1/3 innings with seven strikeouts. Milwaukee sends lefty Chris Narveson to the mound with a chance for him to remain unbeaten on the road. The 28-year-old is 4-0 in eight appearances away from home - three starts - while allowing 23 hits and 11 earned runs in 23 innings. His last road effort came May 20 at Pittsburgh, when he held the Pirates to seven hits and three runs in six innings of a 4-3 triumph. Narveson has never faced Florida through 41 major-league appearances in a career that began with five outings for St. Louis in 2006 and resumed last season when he made four starts in 21 games for Milwaukee. Today will mark his 12th career big-league start. On Sunday, Jeff Francoeur went 4-for-5 with three runs scored and two RBI to highlight New Yorks offensive outburst, as the Mets salvaged their three-game set with the Brewers behind a 10-4 win. Milwaukees Randy Wolf only lasted five innings in his start, and the Mets beat up on the Brewers bullpen, as Jeff Suppan (0-2) gave up four runs in 1 2/3 innings to take the loss. Rickie Weeks went 3-for-4 with two home runs and three RBI for Milwaukee, which had won five of six coming into the game. Milwaukee won four of its seven meetings with the Marlins last season.

jaingitbby TORONTO - With a daunting Western road swing looming next month, Toronto Raptors star Chris Bosh knows his team needs to take advantage of the favourable portion of the schedule. [url=http://www.robertgriffiniiijerseys.com/]Robert Griffin III Jersey[/url] . So far, so good. In the midst of a stretch in which they play nine of 10 games against teams with losing records, the Raptors (32-24) extended their winning streak to three games with an easy 107-85 victory over the lowly Minnesota Timberwolves (12-44) Wednesday night before a crowd of 18,325 at the Air Canada Centre. "We play these games (knowing) we do have to go out West (for a five-game swing in March)," said Bosh, who led the Raptors with 28 points and seven rebounds. "We need to build ourselves up right now because we have to be confident going out there since there are a lot of good teams out there. They play well at home and theyre all playing for something." With their eighth win in a row against the Timberwolves, the Raptors improved to a season-high eight games over .500 and held on to fourth place in the Eastern Conference standings. The Timberwolves remain the second-worst team in the league, ahead of only the awful Miami Heat (10-44). While the game wasnt billed as guaranteed win night, anything less than a convincing Raptors victory would have been a bit of a disappointment. Though the Raptors have lost to lightweights like the New York Knicks and Los Angeles Clippers this season, the Timberwolves entered the night with a woeful 2-23 road record and were on the second half of back-to-back games after a surprising home win over the Utah Jazz Tuesday night. After a weak first quarter, the Raptors took charge and rolled to a fourth home win in a row by more than 15 points. The Raptors past eight wins have come by an average of 22.3 points. The Raptors made a point of driving to the net against Minnesota and it resulted in 28 trips to the free-throw line and 24 points. "When youve got a tired basketball team, youve got to force the issue," Raptors coach Sam Mitchell said. "We did a good job getting to the free-throw line. Thats the thing youve got to do." One of the key ingredients in the winning formula was rapidly-improving backup point guard T.J. Ford, who made all of his season-high eight free-throw attempts. Fords ability to penetrate resulted in a 13-point first half, much of it coming in the second quarter when the Raptors outscored the Timberwolves 25-15 to take an eight-point halftime lead. Ford, who had 16 points against Minnesota, has 47 points and 15 assists in his past three games. Sidelined by a scary neck injury for almost two months, Ford has played just 25 games this season. But with Ford getting up to speed and starter Jose Calderon continuing his consistent play (six points, seven assists), the Raptors have a formula for success. "The game finished as such that T.J. was able to get the minutes that he needs to probably get back in the groove quicker than he normally would," Mitchell said. "We need both of those guys." Big Al Jefferson topped the Timberwolves with 23 points, while sophomore Randy Foye added 18. But the Timberwolves turned the ball over 20 times, leading to 30 Toronto points. Conversely, Toronto committed just seven turnovers. The Raptors play host to the Indiana Pacers Friday before embarking on a three-game road swing. Notes: With his fourth three-pointer of the season in the first quarter Wednesday, Bosh tied Morris Peterson for second on the Raptors career scoring list with 6,498 points.

Former No 1 squanders 4-shot lead and ends season in a miserable way THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. - Tiger Woods delivered a vintage moment, dropping an 8-iron from the sky on the final hole Sunday inside 3 feet for what looked to be a sure victory. Just not this year. The clutch shots and happy endings belonged to US Open champion Graeme McDowell. McDowell capped off his greatest season with the biggest comeback ever against Woods. He rallied from a four-shot deficit in the Chevron World Challenge, then upstaged Woods at his own tournament. McDowell holed a 20-foot birdie putt to force a playoff, then beat Woods on the first extra hole with another birdie from a little bit longer. Theyre the kind of putts that you make them, and you cant really believe it afterwards, McDowell said. They were the stuff of dreams - 2010 has been the stuff of dreams. Its been that kind of year. Woods might have known what to expect, considering how his year has gone. Without a trophy for the first time since he can remember, Woods appeared ready to embark on a new chapter after a year of personal turmoil and shocking scores. A four-shot lead turned into a two-shot deficit. He rallied to tie McDowell, then watched the US Open champion deliver the winning shots. It was the first time Woods has lost a tournament when leading by at least three shots going into the final round. And it was the first time anyone could recall Woods feeling good after a loss. It was a great week, even though I didnt win, Woods said. Im proud of today, even though I lost. Woods lost his big lead with a pair of three-putt bogeys, imploded with a double bogey on the par-5 13th tto see his one-shot lead turn into a two-shot deficit, then got new life when McDowell made a couple of mistakes down the stretch. [url=http://www.officialbostoncelticsjerseys.com//kevin-garnett-jersey]Kevin Garnett Jersey[/url]. McDowell won with two birdies on the 18th, but he might have won the tournament with a bogey. With a one-shot lead on the par-3 17th, he pulled his 8-iron into grass so high that he took a penalty drop on the 18th tee and pitched over the trees to 7 feet. Woods missed his birdie putt, and McDowell made his putt to stay even with Woods going to the final hole. It was only the fourth time in 15 years that Woods has lost in a playoff. But he had reason to look ahead to next year with growing confidence. After making a mess of his life off the course that ended in divorce, and rebuilding his swing for the fourth time, for the first time all year he looked like a No 1 player. In contention for the first time, however, old swing flaws crept into his game under the pressure of trying to win. Woods figured he did well to steady himself for the final few holes, and he did everything right except make a 15-foot putt to extend the playoff. The way Im playing right now, yeah, I would like to continue playing, Woods said. Even though I lost and made countless mistakes in the middle part of the round, it said a lot for me to come back and put my swing back together again. It was great theater. And for the first time all year, Woods was part of the act. He used to appear invincible, McDowell said. Of course, hes made himself appear more human in the last 12 months. But theres something a bit special about his golf game, and I fully expect that mystique to return as the golf clubs start doing the talking again. Associated Press ' ' '

Boros, chasing his fourth Nationwide Tour win, finished three trips around Elmhurst Country Club at 11-under 199. He broke a logjam at the top of the leaderboard with two birdies in his last four holes, taking a one-shot lead. Chris Tidland shot a five-under 65 to move into a second-place tie with Henrik Bjornstad (67) at 10-under 200. Gary Christian fired a seven-under 63 to tie the course record and lead a five-way tie at nine-under 201. He was joined in fourth place by Martin Flores (64), Mathias Gronberg (65), Peter Tomasulo (65) and 2008 NCAA champion Kevin Chappell (68). Christian matched the 18-hole course record set by Tidland, Greg Chalmers, Jeff Curl and Brendon de Jonge last year. Lift, clean and placee conditions were in effect Saturday after the course took on about an inch of rain overnight. [url=http://www.officialmiamiheatjersey.com/...nzo-mourning-jerseys]Alonzo Mourning jersey[/url]. Boros, after leading by two shots overnight, played the front nine in one- under par with birdies at the first and fourth holes and a bogey at the third. Struggling to gain momentum despite the soft conditions, he also bogeyed the 10th hole. "I hit some good putts, but the speed was off or the line was off just a hair," Boros said. "I hit it pretty similar to the way I did yesterday, I just didnt make anything. I made a couple. Instead of making six or seven, I made three, thats the difference." But Boros was still able to take the overnight lead thanks to his birdies at the 15th and 17th holes, which moved him one shot ahead. The 44-year-old claimed his last two wins in the 2003 season. He also owns one career PGA Tour victory, at the 1996 Greater Vancouver Open. ' ' '

jaingitbby Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Syracuse looks to carry on in defending the East Regions top seed as the Orange battle the fourth-seeded Wisconsin Badgers this evening in a regional semifinal match from TD Garden in Boston. [url=http://www.officialphiladelphia76ersjerseys.com//andre-iguodala-jerseys]Andre Iguodala Jersey[/url] . Watch the action live on TSN, TSN2 and TSN.ca at 7pm et/4pm pt. Syracuse continued to prove its worth as the Easts No. 1 seed Saturday by dispatching a dangerous No. 8 seed in Kansas State by way of a 75-59 final. The Orange secured a spot in the Sweet 16 for the third time in four years with the victory, pulling away in the second half behind a scorching 66.7- percent shooting effort from the field. Syracuse was up just one at the break despite holding the Wildcats to 23.5 percent shooting in the opening stanza, but its depth simply overwhelmed K-State with a 33-0 advantage in bench points. Sophomore Dion Waiters and junior James Southerland were instrumental in that effort, recording 18 and 15 points, respectively. Senior Scoop Jardine stepped up with 16 points and eight assists while senior Kris Joseph netted 11 points. Freshman Rakeem Christmas registered a career-best 11 rebounds and added eight points in attempting to fill the shoes of talented sophomore Fab Melo. Syracuse (33-2) won its tournament opener for the fourth straight year last week with a 72-65 victory over 16th-seeded UNC-Asheville, setting a single-season wins record for the program. The Orange improved their tourney record to 55-34 in this the programs 35th all-time appearance at the Big Dance -- 29 of those trips coming under the tutelage of Naismith Hall of Fame coach Jim Boeheim. This is the third time Syracuse has donned the status of a No. 1 seed in the tournament, having earned that right in two of the last three seasons. The Orange were a three-seed as an at-large team in the 2011 tourney, knocking off Indiana State in the second round before falling to Marquette. Syracuse has a rich history in this event, making four Final Four appearances, the last culminating in the programs lone NCAA championship in 2003. Wisconsin pulled off a gritty 60-57 victory against a high-flying and veteran- laden No. 5 seed in Vanderbilt Saturday, securing a second straight Sweet 16 appearance for the first time in program history. The Badgers (26-9) now have the third-most wins in the teams history but the outcome against Vandy was in doubt right till the end. Wisconsin shot just 41.8 percent from the field overall and only 4-of-8 from the foul line, but the defense once again won out. The Badgers scored 19 points off a dozen turnovers and held the Commodores to 43.5 percent shooting from the floor. The Southeastern Conferences top two scorers in John Jenkins and Jeffery Taylor were held to 13 and nine points, respectively. Meanwhile, UW got solid play across the board from its roster as senior Jordan Taylor led five players in double figures with 14 points. Junior Jared Berggren came up with 12 points and six rebounds while both junior Ryan Evans and sophomore Ben Brust contributed 11 points. Wisconsin posted the most lopsided win in its NCAA Tournament history last week in cruising past 13th-seed Montana with a 73-49 victory. The Badgers heralded defense did a number on the Grizzlies as well, holding them to 38.3 percent shooting overall while moving to 10-1 in opening-round games under head coach Bo Ryan. Despite UWs longevity in making the field for a 14th consecutive year, it hasnt necessarily translated into the type of success it would like. Wisconsin has now reached as far as the Sweet 16 six times and the Elite Eight twice, advancing to the Final Four in 2000 where it fell to Michigan State. The Badgers only other run to the Final Four in 18 all-time appearances came in 1941 when they captured the programs lone national title. UW fell to Butler in the regional semifinals of last years tournament. These two programs have met on just two occasions previously, with Syracuse taking the most recent meeting in 1999 at the Carrier Dome. Wisconsin logged a 31-24 win in the only other encounter back in 1927. The Badgers hold a 1-5 all-time record against No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament. The Badgers formula for success has hardly wavered over the years under Ryans guidance, with defense at the forefront of every gameplan. Its no surprise then that UWs defense was not only the best in the Big Ten but tops in the nation among 338 teams, stifling the oppositions attack to the tune of 52.9 ppg. Wisconsin is also among the top-10 teams in the country in field- goal percentage defense at 38.5 percent. Incredibly, the Big Ten features four of the top-16 teams in the country in scoring margin with the Badgers slotting in fourth among their league counterparts at plus-11.1. Wisconsins offense continues to be a bit of a question mark in ranking near the bottom of the Big Ten in scoring (64.0 ppg) and field-goal percentage (42.5 percent). Taylor is the Badgers top performer at 14.7 ppg while standing sixth in the Big Ten with 4.0 assists per game. Taylor often struggled to find his shot during the year, though, and stands with just a 40.2-percent accuracy from the floor. His 60 three-pointers top the roster and land at a 35.9-percent accuracy. Evans leads the team in rebounding with 6.8 per game and posts 11.1 ppg, while Berggren gives UW a trio of double-digit scoring options at 10.3 ppg and adds 5.0 boards. Helping to add depth down the line are Josh Gasser (7.7 ppg) and Brust (7.2 ppg), who stands second to Taylor with 55 threes on 38.5 percent shooting. The Badgers own the fourth-most three-pointers in the Big Ten with 271 as Berggren (42) and Gasser (41) contribute to that end. UW does a decent job of handling the glass with a plus-2.4 rebounding margin (33.8-31.3) and sports the third-best free-throw percentage in the Big Ten at 74.2 percent. Its no surprise that the Orange represent one of the most balanced and well- rounded teams in the tournament after securing the second overall seed behind Kentucky. Syracuse ranks sixth in the country in scoring margin at plus-14.0, boasting the Big Easts second-ranked offense with 74.5 points per game and third-ranked defense (60.5 ppg). Along those same lines, Syracuse shoots a league-high 46.6 percent from the field while holding the opposition to a mere 38.3 shooting percentage -- good for second in the Big East. However, things got a bit tougher for the Orange on the eve of the tournament as the NCAA ruled the aforementioned Melo ineligible for the remainder of the season due to his academics. Melo took a huge step forward this season, earning Big East Defensive Player of the Year accolades for posting a team-high 5.8 rebounds and ranking second in the conference with 2.9 blocks. Melo added 7.8 ppg and stands third in the conference in field-goal percentage (56.6 percent). Meanwhile, Joseph is at the head of the Orange scoring attack, averaging 13.7 ppg while dropping a team-high 50 three-pointers on 34.7 percent shooting. Waiters, Big East Sixth Man of the Year, is just as valuable in providing 12.7 ppg as a reserve, shooting 48.2 percent from the floor with 1.9 steals per game. The rest of the Orange will have to continue to step up without the services of Melo with experienced scorers junior Brandon Triche (9.1 ppg), sophomore C.J. Fair (8.3 ppg) and Jardine (8.6 ppg) in the fold. Jardine scored 11 points in the teams opening-round win over Asheville with all but two of his 27 points thus far in tournament play coming in the second half. Southerland has been a nice surprise off the bench thus far in the tournament, having also dropped a team-leading 15 points versus Asheville in stepping way above his season average of 7.1 ppg. Fair also chips in 5.4 rpg for the Cuse while Jardine hands out 4.9 assists per contest -- 7.5 apg through two tourney contests. Joseph adds 4.9 rebounds to the mix but the Cuse stand just 14th in the Big East this year in rebounding margin at minus-1.5 (36.7-35.2).

jaingitbby COLUMBUS, Ohio -- As the final seconds ticked off on Belmonts season, ending its dreams of a first NCAA win, some of the Bruins faithful began to sing. [url=http://www.nikedallascowboys.com/miles-austin-jersey]Miles Austin Jersey[/url] . "Im Belmont til I die," the fans crooned. "I know I am. I swear I am. Im Belmont til I die." Nothing could be done. Georgetown was just too much. The third-seeded Hoyas, behind a swarming defence and strong second-half shooting, advanced in the Midwest Regional on Friday with a 74-59 win over No. 14 seed Belmont, which failed for the fifth time in five tournament appearances to pull off the upset that has been so tantalizingly close in the past. "Georgetown is a better team than we are," Belmont coach Rick Byrd said. "Theyre kind of supposed to be a better team than we are. But it should have been a better game from start to finish. I just would like for us to have been more competitive." This was supposed to be Belmonts year to advance deeper in March. One of the Bruins goals before the season started was to not only get to the NCAA tourney for the fifth time in seven years, but to win at least one game. A one-point loss to Duke in the season opener had boosted the Bruins confidence they could, as guard Drew Hanlen said, "play with the big boys." But the Hoyas were too big, too fast, too strong. The Bruins were overmatched. "Those guys are big and long," Belmont centre Mike Hedgepath said. Jason Clark scored 21 points, Otto Porter added 16 and Georgetowns ruthless defence bottled up Belmonts shooters. The Bruins, who came in making an average of nine 3-pointers per game, made 10 of 27 from behind the arc -- not nearly good enough to pull off the upset. Henry Sims had 15 points, and the third-seeded Hoyas (24-8) shot 61 per cent from the floor to advance to Sundays third round of the Midwest Regional and a matchup with No. 11 seed North Carolina State, which beat San Diego State in the days opener at Nationwide Arena. Georgetowns previous two seasons ended with embarrassing opening-round losses to Virginia Commonwealth and Ohio, scrappy mid-majors who made the big, bad Hoyas look silly. This time around, Georgetown played like the Georgetown of old, using inside muscle and a swarming defence that choked the life out of the Bruins. "Theyre well taught, and theyve got great athletes," Byrd said of the Hoyas, who went 12-6 in the Big East. "If Syracuse is better than that, Im glad we didnt play Syracuse." Georgetown was enough. More than enough. The Bruins had their 14-game winning streak stopped and fell to 0-5 in NCAA appearances. Blake Jenkins scored 17 to lead Belmont, but senior Kerron Johnson, the Bruins leading scorer, had just 4 -- 10 below his average. "We forced a couple of shots inside instead of kicking it out to shooters like were normally pretty good at," Hanlen said. "Sometimes we tried to make the hero play instead of just a smart play." Leading by nine at half, Georgetown never let Belmont get closer than six in the second half. Sims controlled the inside and Clark handled things outside for the Hoyas, who look like a team capable of making a deep tourney run. After Belmont got within 58-49 on Hanlens 3-pointer with just under six minutes left, Georgetown went on a 13-2 run to end any doubt -- along with Belmonts season. When the final horn sounded, the Hoyas looked relieved. And with good reason. Their season was still alive. "Finally got the monkey off our back," guard Markel Starks said. Not the Bruins. Theyll have to wait another year before getting a crack at doing more than just making the NCAA field. The win they covet remains out of reach. "Im proud of our team," Byrd said. "Im proud of our year. Those seniors just won three straight regular-season championships and two straight tournament championships and 57 games in two years. "And when I get a little perspective, Ill feel a little bit better than I do right now." [url=http://www.nikeminnesotavikings.com/]2012 Minnesota Vikings Nike Jersey[/url] .

The Cowboys placed their franchise tag on Hamlin this offseason, meaning they had until 2 p.m. (et) Tuesday to sign the 27-year-old to a multi-year extension. If the sides had not agreed on a new deal, Hamlin would have played the 2008 season on a one-year tender for $4.396 million -- the average of the top five players at his position. The new deal will pay Hamlin $15 million in guaranteed money. In 2007, the fifth-year pro earned his first career Pro Bowl selectiion after registering a career-best five interceptions and racking up a career-high 102 tackles, while starting all 17 games for Dallas. [url=http://www.officiallosangelesclippersjerseys.com//blake-griffin-jerseys]Blake Griffin Jersey[/url]. Originally drafted in the second round (42nd overall) of the 2003 NFL Draft by Seattle, Hamlin signed a one-year deal with Dallas in March 2007. The Arkansas product started 14 and 16 games, respectively in 2003 and 2004 with the Seahawks, but was limited to six games in 2005 after suffering serious head injuries in a fight outside a club in Seattle. He returned in 2006 and started all 16 games, compiling 96 tackles, two sacks, and three interceptions before signing with the Cowboys for the 2007 season. ' ' '
