Englishman Matthew Southgate unashamedly admits he was in tears as he walked down the 18th hole at Royal Troon after ending a traumatic 12 months on a high.A year ago the 27-year-old had to watch the tournament on television after undergoing surgery having been diagnosed with testicular cancer.Having impressively bounced back with a fourth place at the Irish Open 10 months later he eclipsed that with a final-round 69 at the 145th Open Championship to secure a top-15 finish.Words cannot describe how that felt walking down that last hole, Southgate said. Sixty-nine is a hell of a score for me on a day which meant so much.I knew where all the family was and there was a big tear rolling down my face when I reached the front of the 18th green. Ive wanted to do that since I was 10 years old and to get out there and do it words cant describe.I always had the belief inside me Id get over the health issues and be back in an Open Championship but to do it within the year and to have my family here ... it is a big achievement for me.If you had asked me last year Id have said it was possible for me to qualify but to finish up there comfortably in the top 20 no one would have had a ￡1 bet on that.Southgate managed to make his way through the three stages of qualifying school at the back end of last season and he believes his illness has had a positive effect in some respects.I have got so much better psychologically as a golfer. I think it [cancer] has helped me as a person off the golf course, on the golf course not so much because I am so competitive, he added.Every day is a fight for me and when I walk to that first tee it is like a boxer getting in the ring -- I know I am going to get hit but I am going to hit just as hard back.Ive taken a few on the chin this week and thrown a good few back and to finish under par in an Open Championship is something special. So for any youngsters out there who want to do it just go for it and stick with your dreams. http://www.ramsrookiestore.com/Rams-Zach-Laskey-Jersey/ .

The No. 1-ranked Nadal tweaked his back warming up for the Australian Open final, which he lost almost four weeks ago in a major upset against Stanislas Wawrinka. His first stop after the layoff is the clay in Rio as he tests the back and tries to stay healthy for the French Open in three months. INDIANAPOLIS -- Colts tight end Dwayne Allen can handle the criticism he receives from people about not being able to stay healthy.The facts are clear cut about Allens inability to stay on the field. Hes already missed 21 games in his five-year career and will miss even more now that hes on crutches and wearing a boot because of an ankle injury.What Allen cannot tolerate, though, is receiving hatred and racial comments from people. That was the case when he was shown Sunday on camera, and misreported, according to Allen, on one knee at the end of the national anthem prior to the start of the game against the Houston Texans.Allen, who said hes been doing that at the same point in the anthem since he entered the NFL in 2012, released a video through the Colts website late Tuesday evening and then addressed the matter again Wednesday afternoon.I was not protesting, I was praying, he said. Whether I was protesting or not, it doesnt give the right for others to use those words of hate. If you want to show patriotism, show patriotism, have pride about this great nation, show your love and devotion about this great nation. Dont use words of hate to try to show harm to someone else.If you want to talk about my play, how Im often injured, thats part of the territory. I get it. But to use words of hate to try too break me down because you thought I was protesting something.dddddddddddd You wanted to mask what really is in your heart, the hatred under the false pretense of patriotism. Thats not right. Thats not right to millions of Americans who do show patriotism in the right way.Allen reached the breaking point and knew he had to speak up after receiving countless comments on Twitter because people thought he was taking a knee in the same manner that San Francisco quarterback Colin Kaepernick, who has been?protesting police brutality and racial oppression.I cant allow this to continue to go on and other players who have received this type of abuse without a light being shed on this issue, Allen said. Im not friends with Colin Kaepernick. Hes a part of the brotherhood, the NFL, but I believe his demonstration started so he could shed light on the inequalities that we have between the people of color in this country.Ive wanted to shed the light on that issue and hopefully we as a great nation we can come to a place where we all say enough and we gather together and we say we do have the ability to show what true patriotism is and thats what were going to do instead of sharing hate.
