Danny Willett is relishing the opportunity to try and close the gap on Henrik Stenson at the top of the Race to Dubai standings at this week’s Nedbank Golf Challenge. Cheap Custom Anaheim Ducks Jerseys . The Masters champion led the European Tours order of merit for the majority of the season until a slump in form during recent weeks now leaves him over 252,000 points behind Stenson with two events remaining.Willett finished tied-68th at last weeks Turkish Airlines Open to remain second in the standings, the same position he ended last season behind Rory McIlroy, but remains hopeful of closing the gap to the Swede in South Africa. Danny Willett has struggled in his last three events since finishing runner-up at the Italian Open in September Me and Henrik have both had fantastic years, both picking up our first major and both had good showings elsewhere around the world, Willett said.Now it boils down to two events where I am back to chasing. Im going to try to make up some ground this week and hopefully try to make up ground next week or fend him off and see how everything goes. Weve both got pretty good track records around this golf course, as well, so it could be interesting.Willett tees off alongside Stenson and Alfred Dunhill Links champion Tyrrell Hatton for the opening round, while home favourite Louis Oosthuizen features with Rafa Cabrera-Bello and Alex Noren. Willett (L) lost top spot when Henrik Stenson (R) finished tied-second at the WGC-HSBC Champions Victory for Stenson would see the Open champion claim a second Race to Dubai title if Willett finishes outside the top-10, while a win for Willett would guarantee him top spot heading into next weeks season finale.McIlroy could see his hopes of a third successive Race to Dubai crown come to an end this week, with the world No 2 not featuring in South Africa and already trailing Stenson by more than a million points. Henrik Stenson looks ahead to the Nedbank Golf Challenge, where victory could also secure him the Race to Dubai title A top-seven finish for Stenson or a runner-up finish for Willett would be enough to end McIlroys chances of topping the European Tour and PGA Tour money standings in the same year.Watch the Nedbank Golf Challenge throughout the week live on Sky Sports 4 - your home of golf.

WASHINGTON -- In extra innings, with a chance to reclaim first place in the NL East, Atlanta Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez gave two pitchers their major league debuts. Welcome to the big time, Juan Jaime and Ryan Buchter. "Perfect scenario to bring em in," Gonzalez said with a smile. "Those are big innings. We always talk when we bring em up, How are you going to use them? Whats the situation? Well, today was an extra-inning game against your division rival. Youre going to have to use them sooner or later." Jaime pitched a scoreless 11th inning and Buchter handled the 12th. Each allowed a walk but no further damage, and Buchter (1-0) got the win when the Braves scored a pair in the 13th Friday in a 6-4 victory over the Washington Nationals that flip-flopped the standings atop the NL East. "Youve got to test it out sometime, you know," said Buchter, with the game ball safely nestled in his glove in his locker. "Its a good chance to get experience." The win moved the Braves back into first place by one-half game and maintained their mastery over their division rivals. Atlanta was struggling before arriving in D.C. this week, but the club is 20-7 vs. Washington since the start of last season, including the first two of this four-game set. Evan Gattis, who earlier extended his hitting streak to 19 games, singled in the go-ahead run in the 13th off Jerry Blevins (2-3). Andrelton Simmons followed with an RBI groundout that might have been an inning-ending double play had second baseman Danny Espinosa not bobbled the ball. Jordan Walden worked the 13th for his second save, long after Craig Kimbrel blew a save for the fourth time this season. With the Nationals down to their last out in the ninth, Anthony Rendon tied the score when he got every bit of a 98 mph fastball from Kimbrel, the first homer allowed by the Braves closer in 2014. The umpires initially ruled Rendons hit a double, but a replay review clearly showed the ball striking the top of the barrier next to the visitors bullpen beyond the outfield fence. "This game changes on one swing sometimes," Washington manager Matt Williams said. "That couldve been the one swing, but it turns it out it wasnt. SSo we have to be ready to go tomorrow and put this one behind us like we always do. Cheap Columbus Blue Jackets Jerseys. We got two more against these guys and a whole bunch of games left. We have to have short memories." Until Rendons homer, the Braves were poised to celebrate another nine-inning edition of continued dominance of the Nationals, this time by two-striking Stephen Strasburg into submission while riding Mike Minors 11 strikeouts. The Braves got nine hits against Strasburg, and six came with a pair of strikes, including every run-producing play: Freddie Freemans first-inning home run, Simmons fourth-inning RBI single and Jason Heywards two-run double in the fifth. That was plenty of support as long as Minor was in the game. He allowed two runs and seven hits over seven innings, and his 11 strikeouts were one short of a career high. Minor had given up 11 runs and 22 hits over nine innings in his previous two starts. The Braves fouled pitches and worked the count so successfully that Strasburg had thrown 107 pitches by the time he was pulled after six innings, even though he didnt walk a batter. He allowed nine hits -- tying a career high -- and struck out eight. Minor, by contrast, was able to finish off the Nationals batters. He gave up Ian Desmonds mammoth homer in the second inning -- the ball landed only a row or two from the cherry trees behind the left-field bleachers -- and Denard Spans RBI triple in the seventh. Minors performance nearly got him his first win since May 19. "Ninety-nine per cent of the time," Gonzalez said, "he gets a W there." NOTES: Gattis has the longest active hitting streak in the majors. ... Braves RHP Gavin Floyd was placed on the 15-day disabled list, one day after breaking a bone in his throwing elbow in the seventh inning of Thursdays win. Floyd flew to Atlanta to be examined by team doctors. Gonzalez said Alex Wood will take Floyds spot in the rotation, starting Wednesday against the Houston Astros. ... Atlanta OF Justin Upton complained again of dizziness and was not in the lineup. He did not play Wednesday and appeared only as a pinch-hitter Thursday. Gonzalez said it is time for Upton to "get a full evaluation, wherever that may be."
