anyone to date, and Justin Rose, who won Olympic Antworten

NAPA, Calif. -- Brendan Steele figured out how to finish at Silverado and won the Safeway Open for his first PGA Tour victory in more than five years.One year after losing a 54-hole lead with a 40 on the back nine, Steele rallied from a four-shot deficit on a rain-soaked course and closed with three straight birdies for a 7-under 65, giving him a one-shot victory over a faltering Patton Kizzire.This is a little bit of redemption from last year, Steele said. Its nice to close it off this way.It was a tough ending for Kizzire, who had a one-shot lead going into the final round and looked like a winner when he stuffed his tee shot into 2 feet for birdie on the 11th hole for a two-shot lead.He struggled to hit fairways, and still managed to drop only one shot on the 12th. He just couldnt keep Steele from gaining ground.Steele holed an 18-foot birdie putt on the 17th to tie for the lead, though Kizzire still had three scoring holes remaining -- two par 5s and a wedge into a par 4.Kizzire drove left into the base of trees on the par-5 16th and had to chip out sideways, eventually making a 15-foot par save from the bunker.With a wedge on the 17th, he left it short and watched it spin back off the green, forcing him to save par again. His final chance was a birdie on the par-5 18th. He drove left again, had to lay up and then missed the green with a 9-iron and failed to chip in. Kizzire closed with a 70.Johnson Wagner stayed close to Kizzire the entire back nine but had to settle for pars over the final eight holes. He closed with a 70 and tied for third with Paul Casey (69), former Cal star Michael Kim (67) and Scott Piercy (70). Casey has finished no worse than fourth in his past four tournaments dating to the FedEx Cup playoffs.Steele, who finished at 18-under 270, won for the first time in 141 starts on the PGA Tour dating to the Texas Open in his rookie season. And it was his first victory since the anchored stroke for long putters was outlawed at the start of the year.Making that transition has been a little tough, Steele said.The victory gets him into the Masters for only the second time, along with a spot in the Tournament of Champions at Kapalua to start the year. And it got rid of that sour memory from last year when he made five bogeys in a six-hole stretch on the back nine.You dont often get that chance in life to really redeem yourself in the same way at the same place, and to basically do just the opposite, Steele said.The final round was delayed two hours by rain that began soaking Silverado on Friday and led to delays the rest of the way.The third round was not completed until Sunday morning, and Kizzire made a birdie on the final hole for a 66 to take his first 54-hole lead.And for the longest time, he made it last. Piercy fell back with a pair of bogeys at the end of the front nine. Casey also dropped careless shots. Justin Thomas, who birdied the last two holes on Friday to make the cut on the number, went out in 32 and was on the verge of getting in the mix until he missed three straight putts inside 6 feet to start the back nine.He still overcame an opening round of 75 -- with two triple-bogeys -- by going 66-66-67 to tie for eighth.Phil Mickelson had his chances, too.In his first domestic fall PGA Tour event in a decade, Mickelson was poised to make a charge on the back nine until missing too many chances. He closed with a 67 and tied for eighth. Mickelson has finished in the top 10 in one-third of his 549 career starts on tour.Kizzire did well to stay in the game. After his bogey from a fairway bunker on No. 12, Kizzire holed a 15-foot par putt on the 14th after driving under a tree, made another 15-footer on the par-5 16th and a nervy 5-footer for par on the 17th to keep his hopes alive. He just couldnt make birdie, and it cost him.Cheap Nike Kobe Bryant Basketball Shoes China .J.

He was followed closely by David Clarkson, donning red, seconds later. Clarksons actions one night earlier, leaping off the bench in defence of Kessel during a pre-season game against the Buffalo Sabres, will cost him the first 10 games of the regular season.NORTON, Mass. -- Just because Saturday was the official start to the college football season, its only natural that we compare Deutsche Bank Championship 36-hole leader Kevin Chappell to one of the teams well see this year.He might be the team from the non-power conference threatening to win a title.Or he might be the team on the verge of peaking next season.Or he might be the team that keeps coming close but cant pull off the victory.Or maybe its none of these. Maybe weve just caught a little case of football fever over here.Analogies aside, Chappell leads at TPC Boston after opening rounds of 67-64, as he chases a first career win that has been so close yet so elusive to this point.So far this season, he owns three solo second-place finishes, netting him more than $3.5 million and a likely berth in the season-ending Tour Championship, which was a goal of his. If theres a non-football comparison to be made, its with Kevin Kisner, who had three runner-up results last season, then won for the first time in his fourth start of this season.Despite not winning yet, Chappell insisted he still views his campaign with a positive outlook.Its hard to be frustrated when youre having the best year of your career, he said. Thats really how I try to look at it. Last year when I stood here, I was trying to get to the next event, and this year I stand here and it sounds like Im pretty much a lock to get to the last event at East Lake.You cant be disappointed with that. I would love to have won and won multiple times, but Ive learned from those experiences, and my team and I keep addressing the weaknesses that come up from those situations. You dont know if youre improving until you get in the situation and see how you hold up, so I look forward to that.Hes going to have an oopportunity to see that improvement over the final 36 holes, with some heavyweight competition in close pursuit.ddddddddddddJimmy Walker, the recent PGA Championship winner, is just 1 stroke back. So is Paul Casey, the former top-10 player and multiple Ryder Cup team member. Among those not far behind them is Dustin Johnson, who might be enjoying the best season of anyone to date, and Justin Rose, who won Olympic gold just three weeks ago.As for what Chappell has learned from those previous close calls, he pointed to a specific intangible component to his performance.Just how patient you need to be and really the value of a shot, he explained. Use The Players [Championship], for example. I was over par for the tournament for 26 holes and was able to fight back and finish solo second. Solo second pays out like a win, which is huge, but I could have easily packed it in and took it as a missed cut and all of a sudden I net $1 million on the week. It just goes to show that youre never out of it. Im never out of it, and I need to be myself and just ride out the process.That learning curve will be on display during the final two rounds.Theres plenty on the line for Chappell, who could put himself in excellent position for the $10 million FedEx Cup first prize, and perhaps even become a candidate for a Ryder Cup captains selection.Hes either like the team that keeps coming close without finishing or will peak next season, or -- and hes hoping its this one -- is ready to prove itself against those power conferences.Hey, it might be football season, but Chappell is showing hes not ready to close the door on this golf season just yet, either.
