It appears, by adding Mark Melancon to the San Francisco Giants roster, the team was fulfilling more than just its roster needs. Mitchell Trubisky Womens Jersey .One young fan wrote to Giants GM Bobby Evans begging and pleading the Giants to sign Melancon.Well it appears the Giants heard the fan loud and clear, even hashtagging #WeAreListening. In the letter, the fan emphasizes the need for Melancon, writing he/she really really really wants the Giants to get him very very soon.Melancon joins the Giants as a closer their bullpen could definitely use. The 31-year-old tallied a 1.64 ERA with 47 saves and 65 strikeouts last season with the Washington Nationals.-- Courtney Schellin Mitchell Trubisky Jersey . -- Nate Robinson has played for seven teams, so beating one of them is no longer a rare occurrence. Mitchell Trubisky Bears Jersey . "I was fortunate to play many years at this level with a great organization and unbelievable teammates," said Hejduk in a statement. http://www.bearsauthoritystore.com/Authentic-Mitchell-Trubisky-Bears-Jersey/ . -- Its been a long road back for Sean Bergenheim. RICHMOND, Va. -- While he auditions for the Washington Redskins yet again, Kirk Cousins will be paid almost $1.25 million per game. Thats a lot of money to figure out whether youre interested in having a long-term relationship with your quarterback.Only the second signal-caller to play a?full season under the franchise tag since it was instituted in 1993 (Drew Brees was the first), Cousins received a 2,923 percent raise, from $660,000 last season to $19.95 million on a one-year deal, according to ESPN Stats & Information. However, even after Cousins, whom the team drafted and developed, had arguably the greatest year statistically for a passer in Redskins history, management still has doubts about him.For Cousins to get the multiyear contract he believes he deserves, he must convince the Redskins hes not a one-hit wonder.Great, he had one year, Redskins coach Jay Gruden said at the beginning of training camp. There have been a lot of quarterbacks in the history of the league that have had good, solid, one-year seasons.Under the collective bargaining agreement, the Redskins werent obligated to give Cousins what he wanted -- but theyre in dangerous territory now. If you have a top-tier quarterback in a quarterback league, you dont risk angering him. How the situation is resolved could determine the direction of the franchise for a decade.With Cousins leading the offense, things have been good recently. He was the biggest reason the Redskins won the NFC East last season despite ranking 28th in the league in defense and 30th in yards per rush at only 3.7. Cousins, 27, led the NFL with a 69.8 completion percentage, becoming the first Redskins quarterback to lead the league in that stat since Sonny Jurgensen did it in 1970. Cousins ranked sixth in total QBR and eighth in yards per attempt, and he set Redskins single-season marks for passing yards (4,166) and completions (379).Mike Shanahan wasnt surprised. When the two-time Super Bowl winner coached the Redskins, he drafted Cousins. Shanahan said years ago that Cousins would be a top-10 passer. A lot of people thought I was crazy, but I know what I saw, Shanahan told ESPN.com recently.When youve been around the great ones, there are certain things that jump out at you, and I could see it very quickly with Kirk. The awareness, the ability to make quick decisions, the arm strength -- making all the throws with very little leverage -- the quick release ... we saw it all in practice from Day 1.But its also the intangibles. Hes very competitive. He has the courage. Hell hang in the pocket, focus on the defense, and still be able to slide and feel and go through his reads. Then theres innate intelligence you have to have; Kirk is extremely bright. And one of the biggest things, and Ive seen this in all the great quarterbacks Ive been around, is that the buck stops with Kirk. He takes accountability. Hell put the blame all on himself. Hes already a top-10 quarterback and hell be in the top five. Hes going to be a perennial Pro Bowler.Well, Shanahan is all in on Cousins. Of course, the Redskins arent interested in Shanahans opinion. Among the teams current decision-makerss, no one stood on the table for Cousins in the offseason, and thats why the sides never got close on a long-term deal.dddddddddddd Talk to people in the organization, and several will tell you that Cousins only had nine good games. At the NFL scouting combine in February, Redskins officials were playing down Cousins accomplishments to their counterparts on other teams.Bottom line: The Redskins dont totally believe in Cousins. They also couldnt permit him to become an unrestricted free agent. Now, Cousins has to do it again. And again and again, Gruden said.Its about having two, three, four years, he said. Luckily for us, were in a position to look at him another year.Although Cousins is way too smart to negotiate in public or say anything that would potentially anger owner Daniel Snyder -- Im not lying awake at night. I got a pretty good raise, Cousins said -- he often has said he wants to be where hes wanted. The only reason Cousins is with the Redskins is because Shanahan and his son, Kyle, who spent four seasons as the teams offensive playcaller, pushed to draft him in the fourth round in 2012 after Snyder and team president Bruce Allen traded four high-round picks for the right to take quarterback Robert Griffin III second overall.Snyder doted on Griffin, who had a spectacular rookie season. But Griffin subsequently suffered a major knee injury, struggled in the pocket and became a divisive force within the organization. He is now trying to rebuild his career in Cleveland. Entering his fifth season, Cousins for the first time began training camp atop the depth chart and with a unified locker room following his lead. He even had a solid preseason game Thursday night; as ESPN Redskins reporter John Keim wrote, Cousins showed poise, good decision-making and going through his progressions at a solid pace.He doesnt have to worry about nobody on his heels, star wide receiver DeSean Jackson said. Were all behind him.The question is, for how long?If Cousins has another big year and the sides remain far apart in contract talks, the Redskins could use their franchise tag on him again. Cousins would receive a 20 percent raise over his current salary, taking him to $23.94 million in 2017. Cousins would get a 44 percent increase if the Redskins applied the tag a third time, putting his salary at more than $34.47 million in 2018.The more likely scenario is that if Cousins is tagged again and the sides fail to agree on an extension before 2018, Cousins would be traded. But theres a reason teams dont trade talented passers: There arent enough of them.It did surprise me that they didnt tie him up, and I expect him to play even better this season, Shanahan said. Look at Drew Brees. You think San Diego would have let him get away if they had to do it all over again? When you get guys like Kirk, you dont let them get away.In the NFL, theres nothing more important than getting it right at quarterback. Cousins isnt the quarterback Snyder wanted -- but hes the one the Redskins cant afford to lose.

Andy Murray secured the China Open title with a 6-4, 7-6 (7) victory over Bulgarias Grigor Dimitrov in Beijing. Cheap Ray Ban Sunglasses Sale .The world No. 2, who was competing in his ninth final of the year, did not drop a set throughout the tournament and secured the win after Dimitrov hit a forehand long.Murray continues his quest to top the world rankings following his fifth title of 2016 as he closes the gap on current world No. 1 Novak Djokovic.He got off to the best possible start by breaking the Bulgarians serve in the opening game of the match before holding his own to double his advantage at the beginning of the first set.In game seven, the Scot had two chances to gain another break and though Dimitrov held on to close the gap to 4-3, Murray closed the set out 6-4 despite landing only 29 per cent of his first serves.That gradually improved in the second set to a final figure of 49 per cent, Murray winning 73 per cent of those points.He was aided by unforced errors by his opponent before he turned the screw with the first break in the second set to go 3-2 up after Dimitrov dragged a forehand wide.The Bulgarian continued to struggle with the Murray serve and added to his downfall with more unforced errors as the 29-year-old had the opportunity to serve for the championship.But Dimitrov made a timely first break of the match to tie the set at 5-5 before both men held with ease once again and headed into a tie-breaker.Murray gained the mini-break with the first point and though Dimitrov hit back, Murray won six of the next seven points to earn his maiden China Open title.The newly-crowned champion will remain in China as he returns to action at next weeks Shanghai Rolex Masters.

Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley has dismissed suggestions Travis Cloke will play his last AFL game for the Magpies this weekend.Cloke will return to the side to face Hawthorn at the MCG on Sunday afternoon after his third spell back in the VFL this season.Speculation is rife that the out-of-favour 29-year-old is set to seek a trade to another club after a difficult season, but Buckley is adamant he will see out the final year of his current contract.It will be Traviss last game for 2016, Buckley replied when asked if Cloke was about to play his last match for the club.Thats an external story, its not ours.We dont take into account any of the external stuff. He has a contract for next year, hes next-best suited to the role that we need played on Sunday. We want to win a game of footy ... thats where our entire focus is.Buckley said he is in constant dialogue with all his players, including Cloke, aboout their futures and he has no reason to believe the veteran forward is looking for a fresh start. Cheap Ray Ban Sunglasses Online. Cloke has been preferred ahead of American tall Mason Cox to replace young star Darcy Moore, who injured a hamstring in last weeks big win over Gold Coast.The Pies are 12th on the ladder with nine wins as they prepare for their final game of a disappointing season, but Buckley is intent on finishing strongly.We made a commitment after the bye that we were going to have a crack at it, he said.Weve had a pretty tough draw in that back half (of the season) but weve played some of our better footy for the year and we want to see more of it on Sunday.Were 5-4 from (the past) nine games and weve taken some good scalps and been competitive, but were still not satisfied.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- You think James Cordens carpool karaoke has gathered some impressive celebs into his vehicle? Then consider the occupants in the car David Boudia drove to diving practice when he was a teenager. Authentic UGG Boots 2017 .A decade ago at age 17, Boudia would pick up 10-year-old Steele Johnson and 13-year-old Mary Beth Dunnichay and drive them 45 minutes or so to practice in Indiana. All three became Olympic divers -- Rio is Boudias third Games and Johnsons debut, while Dunnichay competed at Beijing in 2008. They wouldnt sing in the car, though. Instead, Boudia says he would turn the radio to a rap or hip-hop station.Steele was just a little giggly kid in the back seat, Boudia said. And I would turn up the music and try to be this punk kid that I was.Boudia was a bit of a different character back then. Now he is a husband, a father, a devoted Christian, an author, an Olympic multimedalist and a mentor to Johnson.And Monday, Boudia and Johnson twisted and flipped off the 10-meter platform with such unity that they earned silver medals in synchronized diving. It was the first Olympic medal for Johnson and the third for Boudia, who won gold and bronze at London in 2012. Said Boudia: Now Ive got all the colors.That the two did so is impressive given that death was once a near possibility in their lives. As he writes in his recently published book, Boudia used to drink and smoke and fell into such a deep depression in 2009 that he considered suicide. Johnson, meanwhile, smacked his head on the diving platform so hard seven years ago that he was nearly killed.I scalped myself, Johnson said. I needed 33 staples and had a tube in my head to drain the chlorine out. My coach got in the water and held my head together so I didnt bleed out.When something like that happens in your life -- a near-death experience -- you dont know where youre going to be going with your life. I could have stopped diving. I could have gone back to middle school and played different sports, like football or soccer. But the fact that God gave me the ability to stick with it and persevere and not have fear and anxiety with my life, Im so grateful.Christian faith is important to both divers, who have partnered in the event for the past four years. Prior to dives, they will say 4:6 for the Philippians bible verse that starts out: Do not be anxious about anything ...Just because Ive been to three Olympics and Ive won a gold medal doesnt mean Im not vulnerable to anxiety, Boudia said. And I felt a lot of pressure going into this week, almost to the point where it was giving me a lot of anxiety and I had to step away.Instead, he and Johnson stepped onto the platform and finished second, with 457.11 points, to China gold medalists Chen Aisen and Lin Yue (496.98). Tom Daley and Daniel Goodfellow of Great Britain took bronze (444.45).Boudia and Johnson say they dont pay attention to the scores while they are diving, so they didnt know what place they were in heading into their sixth and final dive. They simply bumped fists, told each other 4:6 and gave it their best. After the dive, they looked up at the scoreboard and saw that they had medaled.And after taking the podium to receive the silver medals, they spoke with reporters at the pool before being driven to the press center. As short as that drive was, it had to have been a much more emotional trip than those rides to practice in Indiana.Even if David didnt have an Olympic gold medal, hed be the perfect person to take me on this journey, said Johnson, who attends Purdue, as did his two carpool mates. Weve been partners over the last few years, and Ive been looking up to him since even before he made his first Olympics. ... Ive learned so much inside and outside of the pool from this guy -- about diving, about faith, about being a man -- that I wouldnt be where I am without this guy teaching me along the way.

COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Kentucky running backs Benny Snell and Boom Williams were just infants in 1999 when the Wildcats won three consecutive Southeastern Conference games.Saturday, their performance helped Kentucky accomplish that feat for the first time in 17 years.Snell rushed 38 times for 192 yards and two touchdowns, and Williams added 19 carries for 182 yards and a touchdown as the Wildcats defeated Missouri 35-21. Its the first time in school history two running backs have rushed for at least 175 yards apiece in a conference game.Snell said he was not fazed in carrying the ball 38 times.Im very happy about this win, Snell said. Im used to this in high school, but I just take a different approach, that Ive got a better line in front of me, so I just tried to attack the defense.We didnt play strong enough run defense, Missouri coach Barry Odom said. They were able to get a few formations in that we didnt stop.Stephen Johnson completed 14 of 23 pass attempts for 208 yards, two touchdowns and an interception as the Wildcats piled up 582 yards of offense, their highest conference output since Nov. 11, 2006, when they had 597 yards in a 38-26 win against Vanderbilt.Its about our preparation, Kentucky coach Mark Stoops said of his teams effort. Its about the way they go to work each day throughout the week, starting on Mondays. I enjoy coaching these guys and that is why. They take to coaching and they take to criticism and they know we can do so many things better.Missouri (2-6, 0-4 Southeastern Conference) has allowed 500 or more yards of offense in four consecutive games, the worst such stretch in school history.This is a very elementary statement but were not a good football team, Odom said. If we work together and continue to follow the plan we have in place, then we will get there, I promise you that.Drew Lock was 18 of 31 for 220 yards and two touchdowns, and rushed six times for 34 yards.Dimetrios Mason caught four passes for 101 yards and two touchdowns for Missouri. The freshman entered the game with 22 catches for 249 yards.Damarea Crockett was one of eight ball carriers for the Tigers, leading the way with 13 carries 55 yards.

Johnson also caught two passes for 27 yards and had a 25-yard carry on a reverse.Kentucky (5-3, 4-2 SEC) dialed up a number of big plays, averaging 7 yards per play to Missouris 5.6. The Wildcats converted on all three of their red zone trips and nearly doubled Missouris time of possession.The Tigers managed 18 first downs, but struggled on third down, converting just 4 of 15 attempts. They were also flagged 9 times for 65 yards after surrendering 125 penalty yards last Saturday in a 51-45 loss to Middle Tennessee State.TAKEAWAYKentucky: Snell and Williams are just the second backfield duo in the last decade to record at least 175 yards apiece in an SEC game. Snell had runs of 32, 23 and 19 yards, and Williams had three rushes of 20 yards or more, including a 60-yard touchdown to give Kentucky a 7-0 lead near the end of the first quarter.Missouri: The Tigers recorded one sack and six tackles for loss, and forced two turnovers, but failed to convert them into points. Missouri took the opening drive of the second half deep into Kentucky territory but was stopped on third down, setting up a 24-yard field goal attempt by Tucker McCann, which he missed wide right.MASH REPORTMissouris defense was short-handed after losing senior linebacker and leading tackler Michael Scherer for the season with a torn ACL. Scherer was one of several Missouri players injured against Middle Tennessee State, including defensive tackle Terry Beckner Jr. and cornerback John Gibson. Beckner is out for the season with a torn ACL, and Gibson, who injured his left knee, did not play Saturday.We will piece it together, Odom said. Everybody in the country is banged up, and thats just college football. We will be all right.UP NEXTKentucky: The Wildcats will host Georgia next Saturday. The Bulldogs beat Kentucky 27-3 last season in Athens.Missouri: The Tigers visit South Carolina next Saturday.

After a stellar 14-2 start, the Los Angeles Clippers have come back down to earth. Cheap Air Max 2018 .The Clippers have won just four of their past nine games, facing injuries and the usual bumps of an 82-game season as they prepare to visit the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night.The Clippers are not in dire straits by any means. They are as dangerous as ever. Even with Blake Griffin out Saturday, Chris Paul poured in 20 assists and had no turnovers in a win over the New Orleans Pelicans.Getting Griffin back in the lineup Monday, Los Angeles held on for a 121-120 win over the Portland Trail Blazers. It was a game where the Clippers showed off the potential and the devastating offense that ran through the league early in the season.But it also showed some of their flaws too -- the defensive lapses and the stagnation of the offense that sometimes slows the team down.The Clippers are back on the winning track, but things are not quite right still.It was a win. I didnt think we played great, but Ill take the win, Los Angeles coach Doc Rivers told the Orange County Register following Mondays win.The Clippers still rank in the top five in both offensive and defensive rating. That typically means the team is among the very best in the league.Since Thanksgiving, though, the Clippers have been much more middle of the road -- ninth in offensive rating and 16th in defensive rating. The certainly explains some of the slippage and the missteps the team has made in the last few weeks.L.A. is hoping the three-game road trip to the East Coast -- all against losing teams in the Southeast Division -- can help the team keep moving back in the right direction and back toward contention.The Clippers opponent Wednesday is doing some soul-searching of its own.The Magic entered last week with the third best defense in the league by defensive rating. This came as they won three of the first four games in a five-game road trip.The defense slipped last week, though. Orlando played four games in five nights to complete an eight-games-in-12-days stretch and struggled defensively. The Magic fell to 12th in the league in a matter of a week, giving up 100 points in all four games. It was the first time they had allowed 100 points in consecutive games since mid-November.Thats the biggest thing in the last four games, Orlando coach Frank Vogel said. We let our guard down for whatever reason on the defensive end. We have to return to form. Its got to happen a lot mentally rather than having three hard days of practice. Theres still not a lot of practice time. We have to get that end of the floor performing at a higher level.The Magic did not quite get their defense under control and back to an elite level in a 131-120 win over the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday.But, with just a three-point lead entering the fourth quarter, the Magic allowed just 24 points in the final 12 minutes to get some breathing room and protect their lead.For them, it will take more than a quarter of strong defense to hold off the star-powered Clippers as the Magic still seek some consistency and return to form. Nike Air Max 2017 Sale . Aaron Harrison scored a 22 points for Kentucky (6-1), which has won four in a row following a Nov. 12 loss to current No. 1 Michigan State.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- As he stood atop the Olympic medal stand and The Star-Spangled Banner played for him for the 20th time in his career, Michael Phelps fought back the tears. This was the 200-meter butterfly, the first event he swam in an Olympics. The race his sister swam. The one event in which he had won more gold than any other. And when he looked to the scoreboard and saw the 1 next to his name, it all sort of hit him. He would probably never compete in this race again.The night had been about redemption. Not specifically targeted at South Africas Chad le Clos, who out-touched Phelps to win gold in the event four years earlier and then drew the Phelps death stare after shadowboxing in the ready room a night earlier. This was about Phelps getting something back that he believed belonged to him.I didnt say anything to anybody else, but there wasnt a shot in hell I was losing that race tonight, Phelps said. And, if I did, every ounce I had was going to be left in the pool.One of the consistent concerns of Phelps coach, Bob Bowman, was that his star pupil wouldnt swim with enough emotion. There might have been times Bowman was right during Phelps comeback run, but that wasnt a problem Tuesday night. Phelps stepped onto the blocks before the race, lost in his own intensely focused world. With every stroke, every kick, he did everything he physically could do to propel himself through the water as quickly as he could.At the 50-meter mark, Phelps was eight-hundredths of a second behind Hungarys Laszlo Cseh, the reigning world champion with the fastest time in the world in 2016. But by the halfway point, Phelps pulled ahead. With 50 meters to go, he had a .67 lead on le Clos. It was at this point four years earlier where le Clos made his move, and the point le Clos hammered home to his seven competitors a night earlier was theyd be scared about what he could do.But Tuesday, le Clos faded down the stretch, finishing fourth then breezing through the postrace interview area not to be heard from again. Instead, Japans Masato Sakai came charging in the final lap, putting fear in the heart of anyone pulling for Phelps. As he approached the wall with Sakai closing, Phelps told himself he was going to take one more half stroke. He thought it might cost him the race, just like he thought it had four years earlier against Milorad Cavic in the 100 fly. But this time, again, it worked. Phelps would win by four-hundredths of a second, the closest margin in 200 fly Olympic history.After the race, the celebration was on. Phelps first waved a No. 1 in the air and then sat atop the lane line like a king on his throne and held both of his hands high above his head.I came to the pool tonight on a mission, Phelps said, and the mission was accomplished.During the medal ceremony, up in the stands at the other end of the arena, Nicole Johnsons heart raced. She knew her fiancé would want to share this moment with their 3-month-old son, Boomer. So she and Michaels mother, Debbie, moved seats so Phelps could perhaps come back when the ceremony was over.It had been a roller coaster 20 months for Johnson. She was the one Phelps called when he left the casino that November night in 2014 after he was arrested for DUI. She was the one who dropped him off for 45 days in a behavioral rehabilitation facility to fight his inner demons. And she was the one who watched every day as Phelps put everything he had into training for this race, on this night, with his main competition, le Clos, in the lane next to him.As she loooked at the video board and saw Phelps eyes well, hers did the same. Wholesale Air Max Shoes. Later, she struggled to put it all into perspective.Are you kidding me? she said. Is that a joke? Im speechless. I know the amount of work he put into all of this and especially that particular race. He wanted that back and he got it back.After the American flag was raised, Phelps circled the pool, posing for photos with Sakai and bronze medalist Tamas Kenderesi of Hungary. Kederesi, the latest swimmer to grow up idolizing Phelps, was only 3 years old when Phelps Olympic journey began in Sydney in 2000.When I was a child, I always watch his races and this is what prepared me for the competitions, Kederesi said. I just want to say a big thanks to him. He really help me a lot.After the medal parade, Phelps spotted his family and climbed a set of bleachers to say hello. Nicole, Debbie and Boomer all got a kiss. Then Nicole put the baby boy in her fathers arms.He was like, No. And I was like, Yes, you should hold him, Nicole said. And Debbie was like, Youre holding him.Eleven minutes after holding his son, Phelps would return to the deck and swim the anchor leg of the 4x200 freestyle relay. Prior to the race, Phelps told Conor Dwyer, Townley Haas and Ryan Lochte to get him a big lead. He was tired. And then, when Phelps tried to put his swim cap on, it snapped. Phelps chirped at Dwyer, who had already finished his leg and turned his cap inside out; he gave it to Phelps. The result was again gold.That was probably one of the most challenging doubles that Ive had for sure, he said.Twenty-four hours earlier, Phelps, Dwyer, Lochte and their other Olympic Village roommates watched videos of le Clos shadowboxing and the Phelps death stare that prompted a worldwide flood of internet memes. Then, with all that swirling around him, Phelps turned in one of the greatest performances of his career. When the night came to an end, he would have his 20th and 21st Olympic gold medals. The entire country of Brazil has only 24 combined in its Olympic history. Phelps matched Russian gymnast Larisa Latynina with a record 14 individual medals. And at 31, he became the oldest swimmer to win an individual gold in Olympic history. In interviews after Tuesdays events, there was a common theme in the comments of swimmers from all around the world: Thats Michael.He makes it seem easy. But to fully understand how remarkable Phelps dominance is at age 31, all you have to do is look to U.S. teammate Lochte. It was Lochte who four years ago crushed the world in the 400 individual medley and had many suggesting he was better than Phelps. Now 32, hes in Rio swimming in one individual event -- the 200 IM.Phelps, meanwhile, isnt even halfway through his program. He still has the 200 IM, 100 butterfly and a likely spot on the medley relay before his Rio Games -- and likely his career -- come to an end. He could potentially leave Rio with six gold medals, giving him a jaw-dropping 24 for his career.I was talking to Bob the other night and one of the things that is sticking in my head now is thats a lot of medals, Phelps said. Its insane, mind-blowing almost to me. To think when this all started and the things weve been able to do in the sport, its just special.With more potentially to come.Im excited with what hes going to do the rest of the meet, because, once that guy gets started, you cant stop him, Dwyer said.

Ian Poulter has said his past year and a half has been the most miserable of his career but is delighted at his second-place finish Chase Utley Youth Jersey at The Players Championship, which he believes will simplify his summer. Poulter has handed an immediate boost to the European Tour by entering the PGA Championship at Wentworth next week.Having seen his world ranking slip into the 200sand, at one stage, nearly lose full status on the PGA Tour, Poulter had an uncertain outlook before a stirring performance at Sawgrass. Kim Si-woo took The Players title but Poulter could barely hide his delight at finishing as runner-up. He has now moved back inside  the world’s top 100 and has already qualified for the end-of-season FedEx Cup play-offs, meaning he can carefully plot his summer schedule.“I was swimming at the bottom of an empty pool for a little while,” Poulter said. “So it is nice to see it fill it up again and feel like I’m not touching the bottom. This feels like a victory.”Celebrating his form, Poulter tweeted on Monday night: “Thanks for the invite & help EuropeanTour.. excited to now be playing BMWPGA. Heard good things about the west course. See you in a week.”This is all far removed from Poulter’s recent struggle with both injury and results. Off the course he also had to deal with the closure of his own clothing brand, which had been in existence since 2006.“It has been miserable. There’s no other way to explain it. When you take an injury break for several months your world ranking plummets. I missed a Ryder Cup. I was having to chase to keep my Tour card. There is some other nonsense going on, which we are still working through. It has been really hard. But we’re getting there and this has been a big week for me.“I’ve been needing something like this. You can’t keep finishing 11th, 15th and http://www.authenticphillieshop.com/authentic-26-chase-utley-jersey.html 20th and walk away thinking: ‘That was good.’ Because it’s not. It’s miserable. I expect better. I knew I was playing better than that but it would have sounded stupid if I had been telling you guys I was playing great. I never doubted I could get back to this level. I knew it was in me but I was getting more and more anxious because it wasn’t happening.” What Poulter has not yet secured is a place in either the US Open or the Open Championship, though he is not yet worried about that. “All of a sudden, from taking all that time off, from missing tournaments, from plummeting down the world rankings, the good news is that when I do play really well I’m gaining a lot of points,” he said.“I might not even try to qualify for the US Open. I really need to sit down and have a good look at it all. I don’t need to be stressing about playing 36-hole qualifiers at the minute and trying to chase stuff. I had to dig deep. I’ve had a miserable 18 months. I had to play with a clear head. I’ve played with a lot of pressure over the last few months and that has been hard to do with everything that has been going on behind the scenes. I think I’ve done enough to enjoy my summer. The kids are going to be at home for a long time this summer so I didn’t want to be playing a lot of events in the States when they are in England. My intention now is to play a pretty solid schedule in Europe.” For Kim the prospect of military service in South Korea remains real. An exemption Authentic Goran Dragic Youth Jersey would be given for a golfer who wins a major championship but not The Players. “I really wish we could have that benefit,” the 21-year-old said. “However, regardless of me winning this tournament, I really have to go to the military service, and I’ve already decided I’m going to go, too. So I’m ready for that.”Meanwhile Rory McIlroy revealed on Monday that an MRI scan had shown no new injury after back pain had disrupted his build-up to the Players Championship. “The MRI scan confirmed no new injury, rather a low-grade response to the rib joint I injured earlier in the year,” he said. “As of now I am still entered into the BMW PGA Championship and will decide early next week if I am in a position to compete.”Events of the last month mean Ian Poulter should not be disconsolate at falling short at The Players Championship. He was ultimately denied the completion of a great golfing fairytale by a youngster living one of his own.Kim Si-Woo, at 21, has become the youngest champion in Players history. How the South Korean deserved it, with http://www.officialheatauthentic.com/authentic-21-hassan-whiteside-jersey.html a nerveless march down the Sawgrass stretch – that which has caused carnage for bigger names – that belied his age.Kim was no also-ran when arriving in Florida, having endorsed his prodigious talent by turning professional back in 2012 and winning the Wyndham Championship last year, but the world No75 was hardly a general fancy. This season Kim had had rounds of more than 80 three times, missed seven cuts and been forced to withdraw from four events because of injury trouble.

STUDENTS at Lymm High School have thrown their own fashion week to showcase designs as colourful and creative as anything you might see in the pages of magazines.
