1 Zitat PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. -- Paul Broadhurst birdied the par-5 18th at Pebble Beach on Sunday to win the PGA Tour Champions Nature Valley First Tee Open.The 51-year-old Englishman finished with a 4-under 68 for a one-stroke victory over Bernhard Langer and playing partner Kevin Sutherland. Broadhurst joined Ben Hogan and Tom Watson as the only players to win at both Pebble Beach and Carnoustie.Obviously, the scoreboards are all around the last four holes, so I was well aware of what was going on and knew I needed to birdie the last to avoid a playoff, Broadhurst said. Probably hit two of the best shots Ive ever hit up 18. Perfect tee shot and a really good utility into the green just on the front edge. I managed to two-putt from 30 feet, so yeah, absolutely delighted.Langer birdied the last for a 66, and Sutherland birdied the final two holes for a 70. Sutherland, from Sacramento, California, missed a chance to win the home event for his first senior title.I waited to the end to make some birdies, but better late than never, I guess, said Sutherland, a stroke ahead of Broadhurst entering the round. One thing about Pebble: I didnt get the first seven holes. I didnt make any birdies on those holes, so it kind of gets you behind a little bit. But I played the back side solid, so its a little disappointing coming up one short.Joe Durant bogeyed the 18th -- lipping out a 3-footer -- for a 67 to finish fourth at 9 under.Broadhurst finished at 11-under 204 for two rounds at Pebble Beach and one at Poppy Hills. He won six times on the European Tour and played in the 1991 Ryder Cup.It certainly felt more relaxed today, definitely, Broadhurst said. I dont know if its because youre older or whether its experience or just getting in the frame at the British recently helped an awful lot, but I felt fairly comfortable. I would be lying if I said I wasnt nervous, but I felt fairly comfortable out there apart from 14, which I made a bit of a mess of.The seniors played alongside boys and girls from The First Tee programs throughout the country, with Michael Allen and 16-year-old Patrick Fernandez of Phoenix winning the team title.Im really grateful to be out here, Fernandez said.Allen and Fernandez tied with Sutherland and Jonathan Tanihana, and Billy Andrade and Ross Funderburke at 18 under, and won in scorecard playoff, with the teams birdie on the par-3 12th the deciding factor.John Daly withdrew because of a shoulder injury.Anthony Rendon Jersey .

Adrian Sanchez Jersey .Y. -- The Buffalo Sabres have placed centre Cody Hodgson on injured reserve and recalled two players from their AHL affiliate in Rochester.Five states -- Arizona, Louisiana, Mississippi, West Virginia and Wisconsin -- and the American Gaming Association filed amicus briefs with the United States Supreme Court this week in support of New Jerseys efforts to offer legal sports betting at its casinos and racetracks.New Jersey, after losing a decision in the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals in August, filed a request to the Supreme Court in October. Its the second time New Jersey has asked the Supreme Court to hear its case against the NCAA and four major professional sports leagues, which sued Gov. Chris Christie in 2012, setting off a legal battle that has lasted more than four years. The leagues have won every step of the way.The Supreme Court declined to take New Jerseys case in 2014, but the group of states is hoping for a different outcome this time. West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey took the lead on the amicus brief for the five states, which have concerns over federalism issues and believe the Third Circuits ruling against New Jersey fundamentally alters the nature of federal-state relations.The concern of the Amici States ... is not what Congress regulates but how it does so, the states wrote in the brief filed Monday.The American Gaming Association, represented by Washington, D.C., law firm Sidley Austin LLP, claims the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA), the federal prohibition of state-sponsored sports betting, is unconstitutional and prevents states from combatting illegal and organized crime.The Third Circuits decision is not just wrong; it is dangerous because it deprives States of the authority to combat illegal gambling, the AGA wrote in its brief, alsso filed Monday.ddddddddddddOnly a handful of states may offer legal sports betting, with only Nevada being allowed to accept bets on single games and events.The AGA says the federal laws have helped create a massive black market and estimates that around $150 billion is wagered illegally on sports annually in the U.S.The AGA has begun forming a coalition and is planning to lobby Congress in 2017 to lift the federal ban on sports betting. AGA president and CEO Geoff Freeman has said President-elect Donald Trump will have sports betting legislation on his desk during his term.As President-elect Donald Trump has acknowledged, illegal sports betting is a thriving industry, Freeman said in a statement to ESPN. The 24-year-old federal ban -- which is breathing life into a $150 billion illegal sports betting market -- threatens the integrity of games, presents fundamental questions about states sovereignty to define their own laws and combat crime within their borders, and prevents fans from engaging with the sports they enjoy in a safe, legal way. The United States Supreme Court should consider New Jerseys important claims and allow all states to address the serious problems associated with illegal sports betting.In 1993, Trump told reporters that legalizing sports betting in New Jersey is vital to putting the bookies out of business.The Supreme Courts decision whether to take the New Jersey case is expected sometime early in 2017. The Supreme Court accepts only a tiny percentage of cases.The sports leagues have until Dec. 14 to file their briefs. ' ' ' |
