FARMINGDALE, N.
Nelson Valdez Jersey .Y. -- The top five
players on the PGA Tour this season should be plenty rested going into the FedEx
Cup playoffs.Most of them havent played since the PGA Championship three weeks
ago.Thats because most of them didnt go to the Olympics.Jason Day is the No. 1
player in the world and No. 1 in the FedEx Cup, narrowly moving past U.S. Open
champion Dustin Johnson on the strength of his runner-up finish at the PGA
Championship. They are followed by Adam Scott, Russell Knox and Jordan
Spieth.Knox won the Travelers Championship a week after the PGA Championship,
but with a chance to earn Ryder Cup points last week, the Scot decided he needed
a rest.The playoffs begin Thursday at The Barclays, which returns to Bethpage
Black.At the end of this five-week bonanza is a $10 million bonus to the winner.
Thats still a long way off. For now, there is plenty to keep their
attention.RYDER CUP QUALIFYING: The Barclays is the final week for American
players to earn points -- one point for every $1,000 in PGA Tour earnings --
toward getting one of the eight automatic spots on the Ryder Cup team.Five
already have been decided -- Johnson, Spieth, Phil Mickelson, PGA champion Jimmy
Walker and Brooks Koepka. Brandt Snedeker tied for third last week to move up to
No. 6 and would appear to be safe. He is ahead of Zach Johnson and Patrick Reed,
the lone Olympian from that group.The purse at The Barclays is $8.5 million, so
nothing is set except for whos not going to make it. Charley Hoffman at No. 22
is the last player who has a mathematical shot, and its a long shot at that.As
for Rickie Fowler? He would have to finish no worse than a two-way tie for
fourth.THE POINTS: The PGA Tour made a slight tweak to the points system for the
FedEx Cup playoffs. Points are quadrupled for the next three weeks, instead of
being five times their normal value in previous years.The hope is that it allows
for volatility in these big events, without someone far down in the pack having
one good week and being locked in for the Tour Championship.The top 125 qualify
for the playoffs, and then its a matter of attrition.The top 100 in the FedEx
Cup standings advance to the second playoff event next week at the Deutsche Bank
Championship; the top 70 advance to the BMW Championship the following week at
Crooked Stick outside Indianapolis. The top 30 move on to the Tour Championship
at East Lake in Atlanta.THE COURSE: Bethpage Black rose to prominence when the
public golf course hosted the U.S. Open in 2002, and Tiger Woods held off Sergio
Garcia and Mickelson to win his second U.S. Open. It hosted another U.S. Open in
2009, when Lucas Glover won in a rain-delayed finish.Now its on the rotation for
the FedEx Cup playoffs, with Nick Watney winning The Barclays in 2012.The course
is famous for its warning sign on the first tee: The Black Course is an
extremely difficult course which we recommend only for highly skilled golfers.It
should say its a risk even for really good players, Spieth said. The course Ive
played the last two days is up there with the hardest, probably top-five courses
Ive ever played in my life. And its Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, and its
soft.THE BUBBLE: Jim Furyk (No. 94) and Steve Stricker (No. 98) did well to make
it to the playoffs because of their limited schedules -- Stricker only plays a
dozen times a year, and Furyk started late because of wrist surgery.All it takes
is one good week to keep advancing. If they miss the cut, odds are they wont
stay in the top 100.Among those outside the top 100 are Keegan Bradley at No.
106. Happy to be here is Shawn Stefani, who tied for 14th last week to move into
the top 125 (at No. 123) and even have a chance.PLAYER OF THE YEAR: The FedEx
Cup figures to sort out who will be the front-runner for PGA Tour player of the
year.Major champions typically get the vote from the players, but there are four
of them this year -- Danny Willett, Dustin Johnson, Henrik Stenson and Jimmy
Walker. Jason Day won The Players Championship and leads the tour with three
victories, so he cant be ruled out.Day believes he only has to win two events to
be voted player of the year.
Nathan Sturgis Bedinelli Jersey . Ibaka
equaled a career high with 20 rebounds, adding four blocked shots and 15 points
as the Thunder smothered the Milwaukee Bucks offence in a 92-79 victory Saturday
night.
Roman Torres Jersey . The Cleveland Indians,
Tampa Bay Rays, and Texas Rangers all won on Sunday meaning the Rangers will
host the Rays in a play-in game on Monday.

. -- Washington Redskins tight end Fred Davis was charged Thursday with driving
while intoxicated, a day after he was suspended for an NFL substance-abuse
policy violation. CHICAGO -- Brian Campbell wanted to return to Chicago and the
Blackhawks were more than willing to welcome him back.The veteran defenseman is
back with the team that he helped win the Stanley Cup in 2010, agreeing to a
one-year contract on Friday.Its where I wanted to be. Its where my heart was,
said Campbell, who lives in the Chicago area with his family. It just makes our
lives perfect. Were so ecstatic.The 37-year-old Campbell played in Chicago from
2008 to 2011 and was a key part of a team that brought home the first
championship since 1961. The Blackhawks also won titles in 2013 and 2015 with
Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane leading the way. But Campbell was gone by
then.Campbell spent the past five seasons with the Florida Panthers, appearing
in all of the teams 376 regular-season games. He had 28 goals and 147 assists
and won the Lady Byng Memorial Trophy in 2011-12 after scoring 53 points (four
goals, 49 assists). He was the first defenseman since Red Kelly (1954) to win
the award.Campbell had six goals and 25 assists in 82 games last season and led
NHL defensemen with a plus-31 plus-minus rating.Brian brings so much to the
table, Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman said. His overall game maybe is a
little bit underrated. Obviously, hes got great mobility still. Hes always been
an offensive player, so he can play on the power play and add offensively. He
was relied upon to kill penalties and he can do a lot of things.Toews was
clearly glad to have him back, posting on Twitter: Sooouuuup! Happy to have
(at)bcampbell-51 back in Chicago. Welcome home.In his first stint with the
Blackhawks, Campbell had 19 goals and 98 assists in 215 games. In 43 playoff
games for Chicago, he had 14 assists and four goals -- including four assists
and a goal during the championship run.Campbell said he could have made more
money elsewhere but gave the Blackhawks a discount because it wwas the right fit
for him on a personal -- as well as professional -- level.
Dylan Remick Jersey. His wife is from the
area. They have two young daughters, and he said he has been welcomed into his
neighborhood.I wasnt going to play for league minimum, but I was definitely
ready to take a lot less, Campbell said. This morning I had to get up and be
comfortable with coming to the rink every day, and Im truly ready to go and
compete my hardest for the Blackhawks.While the Blackhawks welcomed back
Campbell, forward Andrew Ladd agreed to a seven-year deal with the New York
Islanders. Acquired at the trade deadline from Winnipeg, Ladd had eight goals
and four assists over 19 games in his second stint in Chicago.Bowman said he
does not expect the Blackhawks to make another significant addition. He also
confirmed the team has placed defenseman David Rundblad on buyout waivers.I
think hes looking to maybe pursue some other opportunities, whether its in the
NHL or maybe in Europe, Bowman said. I cant speak for him. But I think hes still
a young guy. He wants to get back to playing a lot of hockey, and I know thats
the reason that he wanted to go over to Europe midseason. We were willing to
honor that request. Were gonna let him find a spot where he knows hes gonna be a
regular player, every day, a lot of minutes.The Blackhawks also agreed to
one-year contracts with forwards Sam Carrick, Pierre-Cedric Labrie and Spencer
Abbott.Carrick, 24, played in three games with the Toronto Maple Leafs last
season. The 30-year-old Labrie spent the past two seasons with the Rockford
IceHogs, Chicagos American Hockey League affiliate.Abbott, 28, had 14 goals and
21 assists for the Swedish Hockey Leagues Frolunda Indians last season. He
played for Rockford during the 2014-15 season.
