Roger Sloan finally gets to make his debut as a card-carrying, exempt player on
the PGA Tour.
Marlon Humphrey Youth Jersey . Hell tee it up
at the McGladrey on Thursday afternoon, finally ending the long waiting game hes
endured. Sloan didnt get his week of to such a great start however, as this
Tweet he sent out explained. Storybook start to the week. Got to the airport and
realized my wallet decided to stay at home. #Ugh -- Roger Sloan (@RogerSloan87)
Sloan was an alternate at both the Frys.com Open and the Shriners events but
never drew into the fields. Thats because his priority ranking is well down the
list. Its also because the tournaments in the fall are attracting a lot of
players the Tour probably didnt think would play. For Sloan, getting a fast
start is vital. He can improve his place on the rankings by playing well in his
early starts. The Tour will re-shuffle the Web.com grads at various points
during the year, with better performing players moving up the list. Even with
good play early on, theres a good chance hell have to split time between the PGA
and Web.com tours. Getting into tournaments has been a bit of a problem over the
past few years for those who earn their PGA Tour cards through the Web.com Tour,
but the Tour is trying to alleviate that. Commissioner Tim Finchem is aware of
the problem and is hoping to open up the fields to allow these golfers a chance
to play. The first two events of the new season were expanded from 132 to 144
players. Theres also the addition of the Sandersons Farms Championship, which
used to be held opposite the British Open. In all, the Tour said, there are 180
new spots for the recent grads. For Sloan, an affable and talented player who
won the inaugural Nova Scotia Open last summer, the chance to play on the big
tour is a dream come true and the result of a lot of hard work. Hes the third
member of the B.C. Boys to play this year, joining fellow grads Adam Hadwin and
Nick Taylor. No doubt hell be a little excited when he puts the tee in the
ground on Thursday. Thats well deserved. And likely well worth the wait.
Nico Siragusa Youth Jersey . Or at least on
everyone elses expectations. Costa Rica followed up its surprise win over
Uruguay with another World Cup stunner on Friday, beating four-time champion
Italy 1-0 to secure a spot in the next round and eliminate England in the
process.
Marlon Humphrey Womens Jersey . That
assertion is getting harder and harder to make, especially given the way
23-year-old Danilo Gallinari has been playing this season.PHILADELPHIA -- Down
and out or down to the wire, the 76ers are freefalling toward NBA history. D.J
Augustin scored 20 points and Taj Gibson had 19 points and 13 rebounds to lead
the Chicago Bulls to a 102-94 win over Philadelphia on Wednesday night, handing
the 76ers their 22nd straight loss. The Sixers are four losses shy of matching
the NBA record for the longest single-season losing streak. The Cleveland
Cavaliers set the record of 26 consecutive losses in the 2010-11 season. The
Vancouver Grizzlies (1995-96), Denver Nuggets (1997-98) and Charlotte Bobcats
(2011-12) each lost 23 straight. "Winnable game," 76ers coach Brett Brown said.
"I say that because a group thats been losing ... still stays together. They
still compete. Im proud of them." The Sixers also lost their 17th straight home
game since beating Charlotte on Jan. 15. They were 8-11 at home at that point
and had already defeated Miami, the Bulls, and Houston in Philadelphia. After
the Sixers were 3-0 following a Nov. 2 win over Chicago, fans held signs that
said, "3-0. Thats No Bull." That seems like another season at times after the
Sixers traded Evan Turner, Spencer Hawes and Lavoy Allen at the deadline for
draft picks, a necessary step for a rebuilding franchise. Unlike most of the
first 21 losses in the streak, the Sixers were competitive until the final
possessions, never letting the Bulls lead by more than 11. Sixers centre
Byron Mullens, who hadnt attempted a shot all game, hit consecutive 3s to pull
the Sixers to 83-80. He made a nifty save on a ball headed out of bounds,
leading to Henry Sims bucket and a foul. With a chance to tie the game, Sims
missed the free throw with 8:19 left. Thaddeus Young bailed him out a possession
later with a 3-pointer that made it 85-all. Joakim Noah buried a go-ahead 3 from
the top of the arc and Augustin followed with one from the sideline to put the
Bulls up 91-85. Tony Wrotens 3 made it 93-90 but it was just more false hope.
Carlos Boozers emphatic dunk stretched the lead to six and the Bulls did enough
to hang on and move to .500 onn the road (17-17).
Tyus Bowser Youth Jersey. The Sixers have
lost three of four by less than 10 points after losing each of the previous 10
games by double-digits. "We knew it would be this type of game," Augustin said.
"We just tried to fight them until the end and it was a fight, a real fight."
The Sixers could make it 23 straight with a loss Friday to New York. Then three
straight on the road at Chicago, San Antonio and Houston. If the Sixers lose all
of those games, the potential record 27th loss would come March 29 vs. Detroit.
Young scored 24 points for the Sixers and Wroten had 17. "Were going to get one
soon," Wroten said. Boozer had 12 points and 11 rebounds for the Bulls and Noah
added 14 points and 10 boards. The Sixers solid 11-for-24 3-point shooting was
undone by a 9 of 19 mark from the free-throw line. "There is just no inch for
error," Brown said. "Theres no wiggle room at all." The Sixers stayed tight and
chipped away in the third, making it 64-61 on Youngs 3-pointer. Sims was 0 for 7
from the floor until his first basket cut it to 64-63. The Sixers just couldnt
make the clutch basket or two to finally take the lead. Theyd get as close again
as two points in the third and trailed only 75-69 at the end of the quarter. "I
think Bretts done a great job with them," Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau said.
"Theyve got a lot of moving parts. I give a guy like Young a lot of credit for
his professionalism -- how hard he plays. They shot the ball well. The Bulls
played without Derrick Rose, the former MVP point guard who tore the meniscus in
his right knee at Portland in November and was ruled out for the remainder of
the season. Thibodeau said Rose could could be ready to return if he gets the
call to play this summer for Team USA at the world championships. "I know hed
like to do it," Thibodeau said. "I know how USA basketball feels about him. If
hes cleared to do it, Id love to see him do it." NOTES: The Sixers are 3-32
since a four-game winning streak ended Jan. 4. ... The Bulls have won seven of
eight against the Sixers.
