first eight holes and finished his round with a 66 a couple of minutes before the weather delay. "We were running all day tryin Antworten

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - David Frost never flinched in his showdown with Hall of Famer Fred Couples even with his first major championship on the line and a late rain delay to ponder the stakes. Frost parred the final two holes to hold on for a one-stroke victory over Couples on Sunday in the Regions Tradition, the South Africans first major title in 17 attempts on the Champions Tour. "We came in from the break and I said to myself, Its not going to be easy," Frost said. "Freddys got nothing to lose. Hes going to go out there and hit the shots and fire at the pins. Ive just got to kind of accept it and be up to the challenge." Both birdied No. 16 after play resumed with the sun shining after a delay of 1 hour, 8 minutes for lightning in a round played at times in driving rain. Couples and Frost both shot 4-under 68, and Frost finished at 16-under 272. It was Frosts second victory of the season and fifth career win on the 50-and-over tour. "We both played very hard today. I dont know who wanted it more, me or him," Frost said. "Hes just such a tough competitor. I didnt think I had it in me, all the good shots he hit out there. I just had to try to stay on top of him." The two bumped fists coming up on 18 in what had ultimately turned into a two-man duel. "He played very well," Couples said. "I gave him pretty much everything I had. I hit some pretty good shots. I drove it pretty well. He was just better the whole day. He stayed one ahead and thats where we ended up." Also the Toshiba Classic winner in March in California, Frost hit his approach shot to 10 feet of the closing hole and two-putted to match Couples par. Couples had sent his approach into the bunker at right and his potential birdie putt went just to the left. "I said to myself, If he makes his (putt), Im just going to have to make mine. Ive been in this match play situation many times before and thats just how I try to envision whats going on," Couples said. "You cant help it if hes going to roll his putt in." The next round of heavy rain started within a couple of minutes of the end of the round, which opened in the morning with a two-tee start. John Cook and Esteban Toledo finished three strokes back, while Michael Allen, Russ Cochran and Duffy Waldorf were 12 under. Cook closed with a 66 and Toledo, Mexico, had a 67. Couples was seeking a second straight win in a major. He sat out the Senior PGA Championship three weeks ago but won the Senior British Open in 2012. Frost had come close in a major before but this time managed to nurse his one-stroke lead through the final round. He lost to Tom Lehman in a three-way playoff at the 2010 Senior PGA Championship. Frosts only bogey came on No. 14 while Couples got his 68 with six birdies and two bogeys. Couples, who had a 3-footer for birdie on No. 15, left the next hole with a grin after matching Frosts birdie. His expression turned to a wince when his second shot on No. 17 went far to the right, landing down a steep slope from the green next to the grandstands. He two-putted for his fourth straight par on the hole and couldnt make up that stroke. "Really, the letdown, I hit a terrible shot on 17," Couples said. "I smoked it down there and I just tried a shot that maybe Im not accustomed to. Under that kind of pressure, I think it was a mental blunder to not hit the green there and not make birdie." Cook had beaten Frost in a playoff at the season-opening Mitsubishi Electric Championship in Hawaii, and made a final-round run at Shoal Creek. Cook birdied five of the first eight holes and finished his round with a 66 a couple of minutes before the weather delay. "We were running all day trying to outrun it," Cook said. "I guess this is the very definition of scattered thunderstorms. They were all over the place." Langer, the points leader, closed with a 63 to tie the course record with Gary Player from the 1984 PGA Championship. Langer had 10 birdies and finished at 10 under. "If I had made some putts earlier in the week," he said, "it would have been pretty nice." Two-time defending champion Tom Lehman tied for 22nd at 6 under.

LONDON -- Tottenham is the Premier Leagues only remaining unbeaten team and yet looks no closer to landing its first title in more than 50 years.Not when it seems content settling for draws -- the fourth in a row coming in Sundays derby against Arsenal.Although Spurs prevented Arsenal going top with the 1-1 draw, they remain three points and a place behind their neighbors in fifth place.If you have some bad moments and you are still unbeaten, you can smile, Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino said.Having come so close to landing the trophy last season -- before collapsing to finish behind Arsenal and champion Leicester -- Tottenham has been unable to recreate the attacking spark in this campaign.Harry Kane, last seasons top scorer in the league, returned from almost two months out with injury at the Emirates Stadium and provided the equalizer from the penalty spot six minutes into the second half.But that was Kanes major impact -- after Mousa Dembele was tripped by Laurent Koscielny -- during 73 minutes on the field. Match fitness is still lacking after missing ten games while recovering from ligament damage in his right ankle.And Tottenham has failed to score from open play in the last six games while winless in all competitions in seven games.I think we played well at a very difficult place, Pochettino said. Arsenal are on a very good run and have momentum.In an attempt to stifle Arsenal, Pochettino emulated Chelsea manager Antonio Conte by removing a man from defense and going with three at the back.It is important to be flexible, Pochettino said. That is a good step forward for the team to use different systems.Jan Vertonghen and Eric Dier played either side of Kevin Wimmer who was handed his firrst league start of the season.ddddddddddddWimmer did make a fine connection with a free kick to head the ball into the net just before halftime. The problem was it was Mesut Ozils delivery and the goal gifted Arsenal the lead.But the new defensive formation did restrict Arsenal to just two shots on goal in a frantic lunchtime kickoff in chilly north London, while Danny Rose and Kyle Walker were a menace going forward operating as wing backs.I think when you have the full backs we have like Rose and Walker ... they can play forward like offensive players, Pochettino said. Today we tried to put them in a better position. That was our idea and to play two striker and two midfielders who are more offensive. We worked hard to prepare the game and I am happy.Only the post prevented Tottenham grabbing three points when Christian Eriksen curled in a free kick that beat goalkeeper Petr Cech.The eleven-match unbeaten run to start the league campaign is Tottenhams longest unbeaten start since last winning the English title in the 1961-62 season. But emulating Arsenals unbeaten 2003-04 Invincibles and ending the Tottenham title drought looks unlikely.Arsenal, which hasnt collected the trophy since 2004, is two points behind leader Liverpool and manager Arsene Wenger saw Sundays draw as two points dropped.There was high intensity where I felt in the first half like we could always score, Wenger said. In the second half we looked a bit more flat physically, less sharp and we couldnt find the creativity around the box.Did we get a little bit a mental blow when they equalized? I dont know. ' ' '
