on the course Friday in the tournament that finally got back on schedule Saturday when the players raced to finish before dark.P Antworten

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson know what its like to play next to each other on a big stage when its all about flag and the gold prize.That was two years ago at the Ryder Cup, and they were undefeated as partners. They will be rivals Sunday, playing under their own flag, each pursuing golfs first Olympic gold medal since 1904.Rose made two eagles in the opening five holes Saturday and did a little shimmy after making a 10-foot par putt at the end for a 6-under 65, giving him a one-shot lead over Stenson going into the final round -- the medal round -- at Olympic Golf Course.After 112 years away, and three days of what amounted to preliminary heats, golf finally gets the feel of being in the Olympics when medals are awarded.Rose was at 12-under 201, a slim margin over Stenson in any circumstances, even more considering the Swede is a month away from his some of the best golf ever played when he won the British Open at Royal Troon with the lowest 72-hole score in major championship history.Stenson had another 68, his best moment with a wedge in his hand -- but not for a shot he hit.Walking along the edge of the water on the par-5 10th hole, Stenson spotted a caiman -- a small crocodile in these parts -- and reached over to poke it with the end of his golf club. He wound up making birdie on that hole, and two birdies later on the back nine kept him within range of Rose.Its not a two-man race, even if it felt like one.Marcus Fraser, the leader after the first two rounds, hit into a bunker on four straight holes early on and wound up with only one birdie in his round of 72. He was still alone in third place, though he was four shots behind and his lack of length could be factor in trying to keep pace with Rose and Stenson.U.S. SENIOR OPENUPPER ARLINGTON, Ohio -- Miguel Angel Jimenez was back on top on a Saturday, this time in the U.S. Senior Open at difficult Scioto County Club. The 52-year-old Spanish player was looking for a better late Sunday afternoon result after missing chances in his last two events.Jimenez put himself in position to break out of the title funk Saturday, finishing off a 1-under 69 in gusty wind and sheets of rain to take a one-stroke lead. He was in a lot better shape in Scotland and Minnesota in the last two tournaments -- and came up empty.Three weeks ago at Carnoustie in the Senior British Open, Jimenez took a four-stroke lead into the last day, only to shoot 75 and tie for third -- three strokes behind winner Paul Broadhurst. Last week in the 3M Championship, Jimenez was a stroke ahead entering the final round and ended up losing when Joe Durant shot 63 and eagled the first hole of a playoff.Jimenez won in Mississippi in March for his third career PGA Tour Champions victory. He has 15 regular European Tour victories, the last in the 2014 Spanish Open at a tour-record 50 years, 133 days.Jimenez had a 3-under 207 total on Jack Nicklaus boyhood course. Gene Sauers was second after a 71. Ian Woosnam (70), Loren Roberts (70) and senior newcomer Billy Mayfair (75) were tied for third at 1 over.JOHN DEERE CLASSICSILVIS, Ill. -- Ryan Moore shot two more rounds of 6-under 65 to take the third-round lead in the John Deere Classic, finishing at 8:25 p.m. in nearly dark conditions.After opening Thursday with a 65, Moore barely got on the course Friday in the tournament that finally got back on schedule Saturday when the players raced to finish before dark.Play was delayed 3 1/2 hours Thursday when an inch of rain fell, then the start was delayed five hours Friday after an overnight storm dumped another 2.4 inches on the soaked course.Morgan Hoffman and Ben Martin each shot 62 to more within a stroke at 17 under.The 33-year-old Moore has four PGA Tour victories, winning the CIMB Classic in 2013 and 2014. He was third in March in the Valspar Championship and has five top-10 finishes this season.In the third round, Moore birdied the par-4 14th, hitting a 60-yard approach to a foot, and made a 6-foot birdie putt on par-3 16th. He parred the final two holes, putting out on the par-4 18th with large scoreboards providing just enough light to see. Eric Staal Jersey . The visitors took a deserved lead in the 16th minute with midfielder Yohan Cabaye curling the ball beyond Adrian from inside the penalty area. Jonas Brodin Jersey . Galatasaray said in a statement on its website Monday that Mancini signed a three-year contract and will be paid 3.5 million euros for the upcoming season, with his salary upped to 4. http://www.authenticwildpro.com/Mikko-koivu-wild-jersey/ . That gave fans outside Joe Louis Arena another chance to ask for autographs from the 19-year-old whose stardom in the NHL has arrived earlier than most expected. J.T. Brown Jersey . Belfort (24-10) needed just 77 seconds to down Henderson in the headlining bout of Saturdays "UFC Fight Night: Belfort vs. Henderson" event at Goiania Arena in Goiania, Brazil. The fight served as a rematch of the pairs 2006 meeting, which Henderson won by decision. Eric Staal Wild Jersey . Colin Wilson had two goals and an assist, and Mike Fisher scored a goal and helped set up two others in the Predators 6-4 victory over the Red Wings on Monday night. SOELDEN, Austria -- The skier best known for crushing the overall World Cup points record and celebrating her victories with a cartwheeling handspring, announced her retirement.Two-time Olympic champion Tina Maze of Slovenia said on Thursday she will quit the sport after competing in one more race, a World Cup giant slalom on home soil in Maribor on Jan. 7.I am really happy with what Ive achieved. I dont feel the need to compete at such a high level anymore, Maze said.The Slovenian started her World Cup career with a GS in Maribor, as a 15-year-old in 1999.The four-time Olympians announcement was not unexpected.A few weeks after winning two gold medals at the 2015 world championships in Vail and Beaver Creek, Colorado, Maze was beaten for the overall title by Anna Veith, then competing under her maiden name, Fenninger. Maze took a year off from the slopes and got her degree in elementary education.The move prompted year-long speculation about her career, but Maze always kept all options open until announcing her decision two days before the World Cup season-opener on the Rettenbach glacier in Soelden on Saturday.I was always thinking about it, Maze said. I have a big motivation to compete one last time in front of my home crowd.Maribor will be her last World Cup, but Maze did not rule out defending her world downhill title in St. Moritz in February.Now I live by the day, Maze said, adding she will decide about a start in Switzerland in the weeks leading up to the championships. As the defending champion, she wouldnt have to qualify.Mazes rise to the top started in 2008 when she set up her own independent team, led by her Italian coach and boyfriend, Andrea Massi. They called it the Team to aMaze.Maze won her first of 13 medals at major championships the following year, taking GS silver at the worlds in Val dIsere, France.dddddddddddd She added two more silver medals at the Vancouver Olympics the next year.Finishing fourth in the 2010 overall World Cup standings, Maze improved one spot each year and finally won the big crystal globe to cap a record-breaking season in 2013.Maze won 11 races that season, took the GS and super-G titles, and broke the overall World Cup points record in a single season. She beat the previous mark of 2,000, set by Austrian great Hermann Maier in 2000, by another 414 points.The same season, Maze also became only the sixth female skier to win events in all five Alpine disciplines, with American standout Lindsey Vonn the only other active achiever.Her World Cup results faded in the following season, but Maze went back to the top when she won Slovenias first ever gold medal at the Winter Olympics by sharing victory in the Sochi downhill with Dominique Gisin of Switzerland.At the moment it is not easy for me, Massi said, adding he was particularly proud of his girlfriend reaching the top of her sport without doping.Tina is the best proof to young athletes that you can become the best on normal food: Schnitzels, pasta, vegetables, and goulash soup.Known as a gritty competitor who doesnt try to hide her mood after not winning a race, Maze once said she becomes completely inaccessible when things are not going her way.That is just who I am. I certainly do not want to be rude, said Maze, who in 2012 displayed her singing talent by entering the charts in her home country.The song was fittingly named, My way is my decision. ' ' '
