KAPALUA, Hawaii - Tim Clark plans a return to Torrey Pines, this time to compete with his long putter rather than to make a pass Antworten

KAPALUA, Hawaii - Tim Clark plans a return to Torrey Pines, this time to compete with his long putter rather than to make a passionate protest of the rule to ban them. Air Max 95 NZ .Clark has accepted the new rule outlawing the anchored stroke required for the putter he has used the last 17 years. This is the last year before the rule goes into effect, and Clark isnt about to waste it by tinkering with a new club or a new stroke. He wants to play good golf.That said, he already is thinking about the change and hes not willing to share his solution.Ive got some pretty good ideas, but Im not going to tell you just in case they try to ban those, Clark said with a laugh. But I think Ive got a pretty good handle on it. Im not as concerned as I was maybe at the start of last year because I think Ive figured something out now and Ill be fine. But Im not going to spend my time practicing it now while Im trying to play tournaments this year with what Ive used.Once they tell me its done, then its done. Then it will be easier to change.He said he will stop at the Scotty Cameron putting studio in the San Diego area after the tournament to work on some putters that fit his ideas. Otherwise, he sees 2015 as a time to build on a year in which he won the Canadian Open and lost in a playoff to Bubba Watson at the HSBC Champions in Shanghai.Clark is starting his year at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions for the first time in four years. Its a good spot to be, and even though he is among the shortest hitters in golf, the expansive Plantation Course at a par 73 doesnt bother him.Zach Johnson, not known for his length off the tee, won last year. Besides, Clark learned long ago to play to his strengths. Even though Watson could hit the ball some 80 yards longer, when they played a par 5 in a playoff at Shanghai, Watson didnt think he had an advantage because of Clarks short game.Part of that short game is putting, and that part is about to go through a significant overhaul.The USGA and R&A proposed the new rule on anchored strokes at the end of 2012, and at a players meeting at Torrey Pines with the USGA a few months later, Clark showed up even though he wasnt playing the tournament. He became the face of protest for the dignified manner in which he argued against banning a stroke that had been around for some 40 years, and for the damage it would cause for recreational players.The PGA Tour took a stand against the rule, though it was adopted, anyway.Clark said it affected his game at the start of last year until he realized the change was inevitable.Eventually, I realized youve got to stop worrying about it and just go out and play golf, he said. And I did that, and thats probably why I was able to win in Canada. I didnt have that worry in there. Like I say, my thought is to come out and be a better putter. Stop worrying about whats happened and whats going to happen and come out and be a better putter.Carl Pettersson also uses a long putter that he presses against his sternum. So does Adam Scott, a former No. 1 in the world, and Kevin Stadler. Others, such as Keegan Bradley, used a belly putter. Bradley switched to a conventional putter at the Hero World Challenge last month.I think the belly guys are going to find it pretty easy, Geoff Ogilvy said. But the guys who have split hands, like Stads, Scotty, Timmy, thats different. Thats a big change. Putting attached from your belly and moving it away, its not that big of a change. You lose your security blanket, but its effectively the same stroke.Scott gets the most attention because he won the Masters — the first Masters champion with an anchored stroke — and because of his prominence. But he didnt change until 2011. Clark made the switch when he was in college and hardly anyone was using the club known as a broom-handle putter.For the last 17 years, he has not placed his hands together on the club. The left hand has been high on his chest, the right hand at his waist.In my case, Ive never gone back and forth. I found something I felt comfortable with, Clark said. Obviously, there are weeks I putted terribly. It wasnt a case of changing putters, it was a case of working on it. Air Max 95 Sale NZ . Cornet won six straight games to rally from a 2-0 deficit and take the first set. The 25th-ranked Frenchwoman broke back twice in the second set before Bacsinszky saved a match point at 5-4. Air Max 95 Online Cheap . Huntelaar also had a penalty saved by Wolfsburg goalkeeper Diego Benaglio. The two goals brought Huntelaars total for the season to 18, level with Bayern Munichs Mario Gomez for most in the league. http://www.airmax95pnz.com/ . -- Broncos defensive end Derek Wolfe was alert and recovering at a Denver hospital Saturday after suffering seizure-like symptoms when the teams bus pulled into the airport Friday afternoon for the flight to Kansas City.(SportsNetwork.com) - Two pitchers will take the hill on Saturday in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series. One has been nearly unhittable the last two times hes pitched. And the other is Clayton Kershaw. Runs figure to be at a premium tonight, as Michael Wacha and the St. Louis Cardinals try to go up two games to none on the Los Angeles Dodgers in the best-of-seven series at Busch Stadium. Wacha has been the early story of this postseason, as he nearly no-hit the Pittsburgh Pirates in a season-saving win for the Cardinals in Game 4 of the NLDS. The 22-year-old righty took a no-hitter into the eighth in a stellar 7 1/3-inning, nine-strikeout performance to help the Cards force a fifth and deciding game. "Why hes been able to be successful so far is that he has trusted himself," Cards manager Mike Matheny said of Wacha. "Hes trusted the game plan thats put in front of him. Hes trusted his catcher. Hes trusted his stuff. Then it comes down to taking the distractions and minimizing them." Of course, Wacha came within an out of no-hitting the Washington Nationals in his final start in the regular season. "Im definitely looking forward to pitching in front of this home crowd. Its going to be a lot of fun," said Wacha, who has never faced the Dodgers. "Just watching them on TV, its a great ballclub and definitely a dangerous lineup. Im just going to have to go out there and make pitches." Kershaw, meanwhile, is likely headed toward another NL Cy Young Award after a remarkable regular season that saw him go 16-9 and lead the major leagues with a minuscule 1.83 ERA and an NL-best 232 strikeouts. It was the fourth consecutive season that Kershaw tallied 200 or more strikeouts. He also allowed a .195 batting average -- .202 to right-handed hitters and .165 to left-handed hitters. The postseason spotlight hasnt fazed him one bit, as Kershaw went 1-0 against the Atlanta Braves in the NLDS and pitched to a 0.69 ERA in two starts, the last one, of course, came on three days rest and secured the Dodgers series win. "You guys make a big deal about three days rest," he told a room full of reporters before the NLCS opener. "I never made a big deal out of it. (Dodgers manager Don Mattingly) never made a big deal out of it. ... I mean, no offense, but Im just kind of tired of it." Over his last 11 starts, including his two postseason starts, Kershaw is 6-2 with a remarkable 1.46 ERA. Buy Air Max 95 NZ. Kershaw, though, lost both of his starts to the Cardinals this season and pitched to a 4.15 ERA in doing so. Kershaw will need to be aware of St. Louis Carlos Beltran, who drove in all three runs in the Cardinals thrilling 3-2 win in 13 innings in Game 1. Of the five previous times the Cards won the first game of the NLCS (home or away), they advanced to the World Series three times. "We have had our fair share of extra-inning games, but none more special than that one," second baseman Matt Carpenter said. "Winning Game 1 is huge, especially in that fashion. Whether they want to admit it or not, winning that game in that kind of scenario, thats a tough way to lose a game." Beltran had tied the game with a two-run double in the third inning, but hours later stroked a one-out hit toward the right field corner off Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen to score Daniel Descalso from second base with the winning run. "It was a good team win," shortstop Pete Kozma said, before slightly altering his wording. "A good team Carlos win today." They werent the only heroics for Beltran, who also gunned a runner down at home for an inning-ending double play in the 10th. Perhaps the best postseason hitter of this generation, Beltran now has four game-winning postseason RBI in his career. He also has nine RBI in these playoffs. "Hes basically built up a resume as one of the greatest postseason hitters of all time," Dodgers catcher A.J. Ellis said of Beltran. "We knew that coming in. When you compound that by giving him two 3-1 counts to hit in, he knows what to do." Juan Uribe, who hit the homer Monday that got the NL West-champion Dodgers into the NLCS, had a two-run single in the third inning for LAs only runs in Game 1. Lance Lynn (1-0) threw two innings to get the win and Chris Withrow (0-1) gave up a pinch-hit single to Descalso and walked Matt Carpenter in the 13th. "It feels great coming back to the ballpark and knowing youve got Clayton on the mound," Ellis said. "Were going to do everything we can to earn the split." The Dodgers were 4-3 against the Cardinals this season, including three wins in four games in St. Louis. Not having homefield advantage for this series may not matter, as Los Angeles was tied with Texas for the best road record in the majors in 2013, at 45-36. This series will shift to Los Angeles for Game 3 on Monday.
