Martha Burk is back in golf, encouraging people to join a protest over the U.S. Womens Open being held next year at Trump National in New Jersey.She made the call for supporters in a blog for The Huffington Post on Friday.Burk rose to prominence in 2002 when she challenged Augusta National to end its discrimination by inviting a female member, suggesting it could become a problem at the Masters. The club chairman, Hootie Johnson, sent her a scathing reply that the club might one day have female members, but not at the point of a bayonet.Augusta National didnt budge in the wake of enormous pressure from Burk and the media, even going so far as to go commercial-free for the 2003 Masters. Burks protest fizzled in a grassy lot. Nine years later, the club added its first two women.Burk remains with the National Council of Womens Organizations as the director of its corporate accountability project.The USGA, PGA Tour, LPGA and PGA of America released a joint statement last August to distance themselves from Donald Trumps explosive comments about Mexican immigrants when he announced his campaign for president.The PGA of America canceled its Grand Slam of Golf exhibition at Trump National in Los Angeles. The presumptive GOP nominee has golf courses in New Jersey and outside Washington that are to be used for the U.S. Womens Open next year, the PGA Championship and the Senior PGA Championship.Seems the United States Golf Association, no stranger to hypocrisy, refuses to move next years U.S. Womens Open from the Trump-owned Bedminster club, even though the USGA issued a public statement condemning Trumps racist views after his `Mexican rapist rant when he announced his candidacy, Burk wrote.Burk referenced the Augusta National protest and said the USGA ignored its prohibition against holding events at clubs that discriminate. However, the USGA has no standing over players at the Masters. It runs 13 championships, 10 of them restricted to amateurs.Burk said the USGA was putting profit over principle, and that the LPGA also was being silent on the decision.USGA spokeswoman Janeen Driscoll said the organization is focused on conducting the best championship we can for the players, the spectators, the fans and the volunteers, both this year and a year from now. She noted that Bedminster is in compliance with the USGAs anti-discriminatory member policy.During his presidential campaign, Mr. Trump has made some remarks that are at odds with our belief that golf should be welcoming and inclusive for all. We have reiterated that we do not share his views, and that is still true, she said in an email.The LPGA said all decisions about the venue for the U.S. Open are made by the USGA.We fully expect to keep the U.S. Womens Open on our 2017 schedule, and support the decisions made by the USGA on this matter, LPGA spokesman Kraig Kann said.Burk concluded her blog by posting a link to a petition to force the USGA to play next years Womens Open somewhere else.American golfer Gerina Pillar said she preferred to stay out of the debate.If its a good course, its a good course, she said from this years U.S. Womens Open. I dont really see getting into politics. Its just one of those things where if its a good course and they see it fit to host an event there, I think that thats OK.---AP Sports Writer Josh Dubow in San Martin, California, contributed to this report.

Aduriz headed home Markel Susaetas cross in the sixth minute to open the scoring at San Mames Stadium. He bettered that with a long-range blast that went in off the goal frame in the 18th, and converted a penalty in the 72nd after Diego Mainz was sent off for fouling Aduriz with only the goalkeeper to beat. Because of an odd scheduling quirk, the New York Rangers and Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday afternoon will meet at Madison Square Garden for the second time in five days.The Rangers rallied from a 2-0 deficit to beat the Hurricanes 3-2 on Tuesday behind a goal and an assist from left winger Rick Nash. There was no momentum carried into New Yorks next game in Buffalo, as the Sabres won 4-3 to prevent the Rangers from winning consecutive games for the first time in more than two weeks.What has been the biggest problem for the Rangers over the first two months? Oddly, it hasnt been offense, as the team is averaging a league-best 3.64 goals-per game. Instead, its been goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, whose .914 save percentage would be his lowest since 2007-08.Lundqvist ranks 17th in save percentage, which is well below the standard he has set throughout his career. He lamented allowing a long goal to Buffalos Jack Eichel that led to the Rangers fifth loss in eight games.It just froze me, Lundqvist said to the New York Daily News. It looked like he was gonna pass it. Its a hard shot but you need to stop it. I need to challenge that more. I was expecting a pass. I was already thinking about what was gonna happen next and instead he goes for the shot, and thats what good players do.The Rangers havent done much to help their goaltenders over the past five games. Theyve been outshot in four of those games and by an overall margin of 162-119. Thats stark change from a team that had been dominating opponents to start the season, but center Derek Stepan says teams have adjusted to the New Yorks speed.I do know that wwe built an identity for ourselves and teams understand that they cant afford turnovers against us, so theyre getting it in and forcing us to come the full length, Stepan said to the New York Post.dddddddddddd. Theyre making us do what we want to force teams to do, which is defend. Teams are ready for us. Theyve adjusted. Now we have to.The Hurricanes were one of those teams that stifled the Rangers, holding them to 21 shots Tuesday. Goaltender Cam Ward allowed three goals and wasnt at his best, although he bounced back in Carolinas 2-1 shootout loss to the Bruins in Boston on Thursday. He stopped 34 of 35 shots and will likely get a chance to redeem himself against the Rangers.Cam continues to play great, making all the saves that he can see, Hurricanes defenseman Ron Hainsey said.A problem for the Hurricanes for most of this season has been finding the extra point in overtimes and shootouts. They have played six games that have gone beyond regulation and have won just once. Those five points theyve left on the table are the difference between their current 14th-place spot in the Eastern Conference and a wild-card spot.Theres no frustration. Youve got to find a way to get the next one, right? Hurricanes coach Bill Peters said of the Boston loss to the News & Observer. Youve got to get to three (goals). Threes a real good number. We got one on the power play and theirs wasnt an even-strength goal in the game.We had some even-strength chances. Weve got to find a way to score. ' ' '
