SNOQUALMIE, Wash. Cheap Arizona Cardinals Jerseys China . -- For a change, Fred Couples wont be receiving the most attention and the largest galleries when the Boeing Classic tees off Friday at TPC Snoqualmie Ridge.The Seattle native is missing his hometown tournament for the second time since he joined the senior tour six years ago. Couples had to withdraw during the 2012 tournament, but didnt enter this year because of back problems that have sidelined him since February.With Couples bid to finally win a tournament in his hometown put on hold, most of the focus will fall on tour newcomer John Daly.Everywhere he goes, theres a buzz. Everyone just loves John, they love to watch him hit the ball a long way, but just his personality and the way he conducts himself on the golf course, everybody has fun, said Billy Mayfair, who in his first start on the senior tour finished second behind Gene Sauers in the U.S. Senior Open. He brings a lot of people out to watch and I think its great. Listen, everyone here in this field would love to see John play well. Weve always been that way.Daly has three top-20 finishes in 10 PGA Tour Champions starts since turning 50, with the best a tie for 11th last month in the Dicks Sporting Goods Open in New York.Right now, for me, my game is not where I want it, so its more of a grind and its very hard to enjoy it as much as guys that are playing really good out here, Daly said. They come in, theyre playing really good, theyve got confidence. Im just coming in trying to find it.Last week, he tied for 51st in the regular European Tours Czech Masters.A little jet-lagged today, but it wasnt too bad, Daly said. It was nice. We went Prague, Amsterdam, straight here.He visited the NFLs Seattle Seahawks on WednesdayI didnt get a chance to kick any. We did the chip off, Daly said. It was a beautiful facility. I got to talk to Coach (Pete) Carroll. I havent seen him in a while since USC kicked the living you-know-what out of the Razorbacks. Beat us like 70-3 or 70-7 or something.He found Snoqualmie Ridges greens demanding.The greens are tough, Daly said. The greens are hard to hit right now. For me, Im hitting it so bad that the fairways are very generous, but Im really struggling getting the ball close, and of course Im putting like a blind man so thats not helping either.The tour was off last week, giving Sauers an opportunity to relish his first senior victory. Sauers took advantage of a late collapse by Miguel Angel Jimenez to beat Jimenez and Mayfair by a stroke.I was almost kind of beginning to doubt myself whether I can win again, Sauers said. This is my fourth year out here and I havent won. Ive won on the PGA Tour, Ive won on that Nike Tour, and that was one of my goals, to win out here on the Champions Tour, and I got me a good one. The victory capped an amazing comeback for Sauers 10 years removed from nearly dying. He was incorrectly diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, spent seven weeks in the hospital and was given a 25 percent chance of survival. Eventually he was diagnosed with Stevens-Johnson syndrome, a rare disorder of the skin and mucous membranes that causes the skin on the extremities to burn from the inside out.I didnt touch a club for seven years. You got to relearn everything, Sauers said. Hitting the ball wasnt so bad, but just around the greens, chipping and putting, the bunker shots and all that, that kind of took a little extra time to try to master. Still havent mastered it, still working on it, but had me a good week. But just coming back from all that stuff is extra special.The tournament is in its 12th year and is the only regular stop of any of the major golf tours in the state of Washington. The tour announced on Thursday that Boeing would remain the title sponsor of the tournament through 2021.

How great will be revealed in the next couple of days at the board of governors meeting in Pebble Beach, Calif. ST. ANDREWS -- Inbee Park wanted tough conditions at St. Andrews to try to make up an eight-shot deficit in her pursuit of a fourth straight major. It turned out to be too tough for anyone. The third round of the Womens British Open was suspended Saturday by gusts that topped 40 mph and kept golf balls from staying put on the greens. After waiting six hours for the wind to calm, players were told to return Sunday morning for a marathon finish. Whether that becomes a huge break for the leaders -- Na Yeon Choi at 10-under 134 was an hour away from teeing off -- wont be known until Sunday. "Its still going to be windy tomorrow -- not, hopefully, as windy as its been today, but theres no letup in it," said Susan Simpson, head of operations for the Ladies Golf Union. "Its still going to be very breezy and equally difficult conditions." How difficult? Nine players who completed the third round had an average score of 78.2. Cristie Kerr and Lydia Ko each had a 75, the best of those who finished. Rikako Morita shot 86. The cumulative nine-hole scores for the 20 players who at least made the turn was 54-over par. There were 508 holes played, and only 26 birdies. Park is trying to become the first golfer, male or female, to win four straight professional majors in the same season. Her hope was for a steady round in raging wind and for the leading players to lose ground. Park was 1 under through four holes, making a 30-foot birdie putt at No. 3. But it was her par on the fourth hole that helped make officials realize it was time to stop. The ball moved from its position from a gust, and Park called for a ruling to make sure she could replace it as long as she didnt address the ball. Simpson said it wasnt Parks ruling alone. "The time frame for the balls actually moving was very short," Simpson said. "We got five calls, all in the space of a few minutes. ... So I cant actually say which one was the last one that made the difference because it all happened so quickly. There was a gust of almost 40 mph, and with that singular gust, all the balls started to move on the five calls that we had. And we suspended play immediately." The most impressive round belonged to Anna Nordqvist, who was 1 under through 15 holes. Danielle Kang was even through 11 holes. Everyone was to return at 6:115 a. Arizona Cardinals Jerseys China. .m. Sunday to resume the third round. That means the last group of Choi and Miki Saiki is expected to tee off about 7:30 a.m. The draw will not change for the final round -- players will head right back out, and if everything goes according to plan, the Womens British Open should finish around 6 p.m. Choi had a one-shot lead over Saiki. Morgan Pressel was another shot behind. Most of the trouble was around the loop -- Nos. 7-11 on the far end of the Old Course that is exposed to the elements. Simpson said the wind reached a sustained speed of 30 mph, and during the suspensions, one gust was recorded at 50 mph. Because more than half of the 69-player field did not finish, there is an option to scrap the third round and start over. Eighteen players had not even started the third round. Simpson said starting over was considered, but not for long. "We had five groups complete the round, and while we took that into account and it was part of the discussions, it was quite quickly ruled out," she said. "Because we dont feel thats fair to the players who have also competed and already played their rounds. We want to try to continue. Tomorrow, the conditions are meant to be difficult in the morning, as well." She said she spoke to all the players and their response was mixed. "Some are delighted and some are not delighted," she said. "And I think thats the way it works." Wind is the main defence of links courses, and St. Andrews is among the toughest of the British links in these elements because the Old Course is exposed. Simpson said officials prepared for a big blow Saturday by not cutting the green on the par-3 11th hole and being mindful of hole locations, making sure they were not on ridges. The greens were 9.4 on the Stimpmeter, compared with 10 the previous two days. They just werent prepared for this much wind. Simpson said the tournament could be extended to Monday, if necessary, which would lead to chaos for the Solheim Cup captains, Meg Mallon and Liselotte Neumann. This is the final qualifying event for the Cup, which starts Aug. 16 at the Colorado Golf Club. They were to announce their captains picks two hours after the Womens British Open is over, and Mallon said her 12-player team was to fly to Denver on Monday for a practice round.
