NASSAU, Bahamas -- Bubba Watson was 7 under through nine holes in the second round of the Hero World Challenge, such a strong start that it might have led someone to declare a 59 watch. Nike Air Max Wholesale .It rarely happens, of course, though it does lead to one question.Isnt the target now 58?Golf established its magic number in 1977 when Al Geiberger shot 59 in the Memphis Classic. It was matched 14 years later by Chip Beck in Las Vegas, and then David Duval at the Bob Hope Classic (1999), Paul Goydos at the John Deere Classic and Stuart Appleby at The Greenbrier Classic (both in 2010) and Jim Furyk at the BMW Championship in 2013.Then Furyk shot 58 at the Travelers Championship this summer.Isnt that the new standard? The new watch?Probably not, Hunter Mahan said. Fifty-nine is a special number in golf. Its pretty sacred. Until theres numerous 58s, its not going to change. To start out with a `5 is a cool thing.Appleby says a 59 watch should still apply out of the respect to those who have one. He was smiling because hes one of them. He said when people have gone nearly 40 years thinking 59 was the number, that wont change overnight.I guess it might have been like when Henry Ford invented the automobile, but people still talked about a horse-and-buggy, he said.The point of such a score is that it starts with a 5. Besides, no one would ever say that someone is on a sub-60 watch. There have been seven scores in the 50s on the PGA Tour starting in 1977 with Geiberger. But there have been 32 scores at 60 starting with Al Brosch in 1951 at the Texas Open.Its still cool to be the in 50s, Stewart Cink. I dont care if it happens once a week for the next 10 years, its still pretty cool for someone to get there.Furyk made par on the last hole at the TPC River Highlands to shoot his 58, and even he thinks a 59 watch is still appropriate. Furyk said golfs magic number on the PGA Tour lasted too long for it to be anything else.That barrier of 60 is still pretty cool, said Furyk, the only player to have done it twice. I still think someone is going to shoot 58, and someone is probably someday going to shoot 57. I hope I get to hold onto it like Geiberger did for 39 years. Other guys will shoot 58. But if 40 years from now someone shoots 57, that would be really cool. Ill be in my 80s.One record that might last even longer -- two rounds in the 50s.I think it will be longer before someone does it, Furyk said.---RYDER CUP COMMITTEE: The U.S. Ryder Cup committee was scheduled to meet Tuesday by telephone, the first step toward picking a new captain. Attention has focused on Jim Furyk, mainly because he answered a hypothetical question at Sea Island that he would take the job if offered. He said he was not lobbying to be captain.At some point after a captain is selected, the next decision will be how to pick a team.Davis Love III, the winning captain and part of the committee, hinted that the entire U.S. team will be set before the Tour Championship.

Thats one of the discussion points.Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods also are on the committee. The PGA of America is represented on the committee by Pete Bevacqua (CEO), Paul Levy (president) and Suzy Whaley (vice president).---KUMARS BIG DAY: One of the most unlikely victories last week was on the Asian Tour when Mukesh Kumar won the Panasonic Open India at Delhi Golf Club.If the name doesnt sound familiar, it shouldnt outside of India.Kuman turned pro in 1984 -- thats two years before Jack Nicklaus won his last major -- and while he won 123 times on the domestic tour in India, he never played more than eight tournaments a year on the Asian Tour. In fact, he had played only 55 tournaments that awarded world ranking points over the last 20 years.Kumar closed with a 70 in the fog-shortened Panasonic Open India and won his first Asian Tour event at age 51.I am very proud of myself, Kumar said. I have waited 32 years for this.He was No. 1,716 in the world and moved up to No. 487.

When a hurricane interrupted, there was no other option but to cancel it.Next year it will be Sept. 28 to Oct. 1, which is the same week as the Presidents Cup. But the Safeway Open starts the next week.---DIVOTS: Adam Scott, who lives at Albany in the Bahamas, played the Australian PGA Championship last week and will remain Down Under through the holidays.

Three came down to the fourth quarter while quarterbacks continued to shine in all four games; so important to the overall quality of the game. LOS ANGELES -- Abner Mares raised his hands in victory right before the final bell, and he dropped to his knees in relief moments later. A few months after his boxing career appeared to be in jeopardy, he was a champion again.Mares knocked down Jesus Cuellar in the 11th round and hung on for a split-decision victory Saturday night to claim Cuellars WBA featherweight title.Im so glad to be called a world champion again, Mares said. It means the world to me.Mares (30-2-1) earned his fourth world title in three weight classes with a resourceful performance against Cuellar (28-2). The powerful Argentine champion hadnt lost in 11 fights since October 2011, but Mares punctuated his effort with a big right hand early in the 11th round, sending the champion sprawling onto his backside.Two judges favored Mares 117-110 and 116-111, while a third scored it for Cuellar, 115-112. The Associated Press scored it 115-112 for Mares.Jermall Charlo also defended his IBF 154-pound belt with a fifth-round stoppage of previously unbeaten Julian Williams at the downtown Galen Center on USCs campus. The third title defense for Charlo (25-0, 19 KOs) ended uncomfortably with the crowd loudly booing him after he refused to accept congratulations from Williams (22-1-1).Mares returned from a 16-month ring absence following two losses in his previous five fights, including the only stoppage defeat of his 12-year pro career. Neither Cuellar nor Mares had fought in 2016: They were scheduled to meet in June, but the fight was scrapped after the New York athletic commission refused to sanction it when Mares couldnt pass an eye examination.Mares has had eye issues during his career, but they didnt stop him from becoming a three-division champion with a solid following in the Los Angeles area, where the Mexican-born dual citizen grew up.The fight was the ninth major title bout of Mares career, and he showed his championship tenacity with a clever game plan that showcased his boxing skill. Mares fought more efficiently than Cuellar, landing 35 percent of hhis 619 punches and 41 percent of his power shots. Nike Air Max 97 Sale Ireland. Cuellar, the Argentine veteran trained by Freddie Roach, attacked Mares from the opening round, but the champions predictability allowed Mares to pick his shots while edging several early rounds. Cuellars superior power showed up later and turned the fight in his direction -- before Mares replied emphatically in the 11th.Mares battered Cuellar on the ropes moments after the knockdown. Cuellar recovered, but Mares persevered through a solid 12th to win it.Cuellar was a little flat, Roach said. Abner had a good strategy. He moved and he held, and it worked. Abner was the better man.Charlo is a Houston-based fighter whose twin brother, Jermell, also holds a 154-pound belt. On the biggest stage of his still-young career, Jermall Charlo followed up an impressive knockout with a bit of churlish behavior in the ring.Charlo first showed off his considerable skill, knocking down Williams with a precise left jab in the second round. Williams, a Philadelphia native in his first title fight, recovered from the knockdown and even staggered Charlo later in the round.Charlo kept working and eventually finished Williams, putting the challenger face-down on the canvas with an uppercut before finishing it moments later. But when Charlo declined to accept Williams walk across the ring to offer post-fight congratulations, the fighters camps exchanged harsh words and the Los Angeles crowd booed Charlo vociferously.No matter what, people have to respect my accomplishments, Charlo said through the boos. He just wasnt on my level. I told everyone what I was going to do since the fight was announced.Charlo might have tarnished his reputation, but his actions also undeniably raised his profile in the competitive 154-pound division. Charlo jumped on the ropes to egg on the crowd -- but he also apologized later, catching up with Williams backstage for a hug.
