RIO DE JANEIRO -- The first Olympic golf shot in 112 years will be hit by the lone Brazilian in the mens field.The International Golf Federation tapped into what few Olympic roots it has Monday by selecting Adilson da Silva to be the first to tee off Thursday when golf returns to the Olympic program for the first time since 1904.Brazil was guaranteed at least one player as the host nation, though da Silva qualified on his own through the world ranking.The IGF did not stop there.Joining da Silva in the opening threesome will be Graham DeLaet of Canada, which IGF President Peter Dawson referred to as the defending champion at the Olympics. George Lyon of Canada won the gold medal at the St. Louis Games in 1904 against a field of 74 Americans and three Canadians.The other player is Byeong Hun An of South Korea, who comes from an Olympic heritage. His mother, who is Chinese, and father each won medals in table tennis at the Seoul Games in 1988.Dawson took personal pride in the second group off, which features Padraig Harrington of Ireland and Matteo Manassero of Italy.They went to Copenhagen in 2009, along with Suzann Pettersen of Norway and Michelle Wie of the United States, when golf made its final presentation with hopes of getting back into the Olympics.I dont think Ill ever forget Matteo presenting to a group of formidable IOC members in English -- not his first language -- at the tender age of 16, Dawson said.Golf saved its biggest stars for later in the draw.Sergio Garcia of Spain is playing with Patrick Reed of the United States and Emiliano Grillo of Argentina. Two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson of the United States and double major winner Martin Kaymer of Germany will play with Anirban Lahiri of India. At the bottom of Thursdays draw is a threesome of American Rickie Fowler, Britains Justin Rose and Jhonattan Vegas of Venezuela.Whos not in Rio remained part of the conversation, particularly the top four players in the world ranking, all of whom have won majors in the last three years -- Jason Day, Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy. The 60-man field features only four of the top 10 in the world.Its certainly not helpful, Dawson said. But I think now were looking forward. Were concentrating on those players who are here. They will always be Olympians, and whoever wins the gold medal and the silver and bronze will have something to carry with them the rest of their lives. I am very confident that golfs players over the coming Olympic games will all come and play.

HOCKENHEIM, Germany -- Frontal cockpit protection will not be introduced for Formula One cars before the 2018 season, to allow for more testing, the governing body of world motor sports said Thursday.The F1 Strategy Group that includes Formula One chief Bernie Ecclestone, six leading teams and FIA President Jean Todt agreed on the move after a meeting in Geneva. Drivers, who spoke strongly in favor of the Halo system, were hoping it would come into force next season.The FIA said that because there was relatively little time until the next season, it would be prudent to use the remainder of this year and early next year to further evaluate the full potential of all options before final confirmation.This will include multiple tests of the Halo system in practice sessions this season and the first part of the 2017 season.While the system is currently the preferred option, the Strategy Group thought that another year of development could result in an even more complete solution. The FIA said Halo remains a strong option for introduction in 2018.While drivers generally dont like the look of the system, which puts a see-through capsule around their cockpits, they appreciate the improved safety.ddddddddddddIt would prevent flying objects from hitting their heads and would provide added protection when cars overturn or when they land on each other.Speaking before the outcome of the vote was known, four-time champion Sebastian Vettel said, I think 90-95 percent of the drivers voted for it. We dont like the looks of it, but I dont think theres anything that really justifies death.Weve always learned from what happened, incidents that happened on the track, and weve always tried to improve, the Ferrari driver said. Now, that would be the first time I think in human history that weve learned a lesson and we dont change. Its up to us to make sure it does happen, otherwise I think wed be quite stupid.Vettel is one of the three directors of the Grand Prix Drivers Association.
