ORLANDO, Fla. Randy Moss Womens Jersey. -- In a story Dec. 13 about Jack Nicklaus planning to attend the presidential inauguration, The Associated Press reported erroneously that Nicklaus received the Congressional Medal of Honor. He received the Congressional Gold Medal.A corrected version of the story is below:Nicklaus keeping busy with project in TurkmenistanJack Nicklaus has been designing and building golf courses around the world for the last four decades, and most of his work has been overseas during the last 10 yearsBy DOUG FERGUSONAP Golf WriterORLANDO, Fla. -- Jack Nicklaus has been designing and building golf courses around the world for the last four decades, and most of his work has been overseas during the last 10 years. But his latest project in Turkmenistan is as intriguing as any of them.Few people there even play golf. At least not yet.The president of the Central Asian nation, Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov, announced in October that he wants a golf course built ahead of the Asian Games next year. Nicklaus said the Ashgabat Golf Club should be finished in April (but not playable until July), and more courses are planned for a holiday area along the Caspian Sea.Turkmenistan is north of Iran and framed by the Caspian Sea to the west and Afghanistan to the east.I dont really know why the president wanted golf, Nicklaus said over the weekend. He has about 2,500 ex-pats who live in Ashgabat who wanted golf, and he knows that golf is an Olympic sport and hes got the Asian Games next year. He wanted the golf course done before that.Golf is not the first sport that interested Berdymukhamedov. He also had three ice hockey facilities built in the country that is largely covered by the Karakum Desert and reaches highs of 120 degrees in the summer.Every time he brought something in, its not just the capital. He said, `I want all my provinces to benefit. He brought horses in, he brought hockey in. And hes doing the same thing with golf, Nicklaus said. He takes it to all his people.He said the president wants a championship golf course and a learning golf course. Nicklaus already has made five trips to Turkmenistan, and he said the project will include golf courses in Awaza, a tourist zone along the Caspian Sea.Nicklaus said Awaza has 33 five-star hotels occupied only by the Turkmen from June to September, even though the weather is pleasant enough to go from April until early November. He said Turkmenistan issued fewer than 1,000 tourist visas last year, but the plan was to make Awaza more of a tourist destination.And now were going to put golf in -- seaside links, Nicklaus said.---STENSON AWARDS: The European awards are starting to pile up for British Open champion Henrik Stenson.The 40-year-old Swede was European Tour player of the year for a season in which he won his first major, the Race to Dubai for the second time and was the silver medalist in golfs return to the Olympics.Stenson also has been awarded the Golf Writers Trophy by the British-based Association of Golf Writers.Ill never grow tired of being weighed down with trophies, Stenson said.The Golf Writers Trophy is for those who were born or reside in Europe and have made the most outstanding contributions in golf for the year.Stenson set the major championship record for a 72-hole score at 264 in a duel with Phil Mickelson at Royal Troon, where the Swede joined Johnny Miller as the only players to close with a 63 to win a major. He also won the BMW International Open in Germany.Stenson also won the Golf Writers Trophy in 2013.We talk about receiving recognition from your colleagues and your peers but in this instance its great to be receiving that recognition from some of the most knowledgeable media in the sport, Stenson said.---NICKLAUS & TRUMP: Jack Nicklaus said his schedule kept him from going to two previous presidential inaugurations, but he plans to be in Washington next month when president-elect Donald Trump is sworn in.And he wont be alone.Donald called and said, `I want you to bring that kid that can really talk, Nicklaus said.That kid is 55-year-old Jack Nicklaus II. Trump still raves about his speech Jackie Nicklaus gave when his father was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal.Every time he talks to Barbara and me he says, `That is the best speech I ever heard, Nicklaus said. He called personally to ask me to come.Nicklaus has known Trump for years and designed Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point in the Bronx.---THONGCHAIS LAST STAND: Just when you thought golf was done for the year, there is one final tournament that ends on Christmas Day and could decide whether Thongchai Jaidee returns to the Masters.Its called the Boonchu Ruangkit Championship, an Asian Development Tour event in Thailand from Dec. 22-25 at Rancho Charnvee Resorts and Country Club. Such events typically award only six points to the winner. However, Thongchai is No. 52 in the world, and that raises the strength of field enough to award nine points. And thats just what he needs to make the top 50.The top 50 in the final world ranking of the year on Dec. 26 are invited to the Masters.Ive one more week at the Boonchu Ruangkit Championship, and I hope to do well then, Thongchai said. Im going to take a rest at home, but also spend some time at the gym to build up my physical fitness.He also might want to work on his putting.---KUCHARS BRONZE: Matt Kuchar had no idea how much the Olympics would mean to him until that bronze medal was draped around his neck. Kuchar, the last of four Americans who made it to Rio when Dustin Johnson withdrew, closed with a 63 to finish behind Justin Rose and Henrik Stenson.The emotions of winning a medal overwhelmed me, he said. I didnt know the gravity, how big of a moment that was and what that would mean to me until it happened.He has taken his bronze medal with him most everywhere, including a trip to Friars Head on Long Island. Kuchar went out to play and left the medal in the clubhouse for all to see, and it was hard to miss.The barkeep was in charge and he had it hanging on a light fixture, Kuchar said. It got a lot of hands and eyeballs on it. It was a cool place.There was one time he didnt have the medal with him.Hurricane Matthew barreled toward Sea Island, and the Kuchars had to evacuate. But he wasnt worried about it being blown away.It was on the third floor, he said. I knew it was safe. I knew there could be flooding, but the third floor? It wasnt going anywhere.---DIVOTS: The winner and runner-up of the Kolon Korea Open next year will be exempt into the British Open.

LANDOVER, Md. -- In their first real chance to play together this preseason, Kirk Cousins and the Washington Redskins offensive starters showed plenty of rust and then progress in a 21-16 victory against the Buffalo Bills on Friday night.With the Bills (1-2) resting almost their entire starting defense, Cousins overcame a rough start to finish 12 of 23 for 188 yards, three touchdowns and an interception. Despite coming mostly against Buffalos second- and third-stringers, it was an important recovery for Cousins, who had thrown only five passes in the preseason and was rested last week.Were going to have slow moments or slow quarters at times, and the key is going to be to find a way to circle the wagons and regroup, said Cousins, who started 3 of 9. The body of work overall was pretty productive, but there were moments where it wasnt as good as it needs to be, and we know that.Undrafted rookie running back Robert Kelley was the brightest spot for Washington (2-1), especially given the previous injuries to Matt Jones and Chris Thompson, and that seventh-round pick Keith Marshall sprained his left elbow on his only carry of the game.I definitely got some work in today, and I think it helped me out, said Kelley, who ran for 51 yards on 12 carries. Every time I get up there I try to put myself in a better situation to make the team, take advantage of the opportunity.Bills starting quarterback Tyrod Taylor played only two series, by coach Rex Ryans design, going 2 of 5 for 11 yards before being replaced by E.J. Manuel, who was 21 of 39 for 221 yards and an interception.Ryan also opted to rest running back LeSean McCoy and several key defenders, including defensive tackle Kyle Williams, linebacker Jerry Hughes and cornerbacks Ronald Darby and Stephon Gilmore.I feel pretty good about the guys that I sat, obviously, and I dont think we can afford to get them hurt, Ryan said. Its as simple as that, and I dont care about the criticism.Redskins coach Jay Gruden took a more conventional dress-rehearsal approach to the third preseason game for the Redskins (2-1) and got the kind of performances hed like to see from top players tight end Jordan Reed, receivers DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon, left tackle Trent Williams, and cornerback Josh Norman.
