BRO, Sweden—Lee Westwood shot a 4-under 68 and maintained a three-stroke lead
after the third round of the Nordea Masters at Bro Hof Slott Club on Friday. Andre Johnson Womens Jersey . Westwood, at 16
under, will attempt to win the Swedish Masters in Saturdays final round for the
third time in his career, having won the title in 1996 and 2000. Westwood said
he missed opportunities to extend the three-shot lead he held after the second
round. “I hit a lot of good shots and I didnt get into too much trouble,” he
said. “But I did misread a couple of good birdie putts on the front nine, at
holes five and eight. But I think I putted well after that and I holed a couple
on the back nine.” Another Englishman, Ross Fisher, was in second place at 13
under, and there was still a chance a Swede could win the home title for a third
successive year following Alexander Noren in 2011 and Richard Johnson in 2010.
Westwoods 2010 Ryder Cup teammate Peter Hansen shot 69 to lead the Swedish
challenge in third place at 12 under, four off the pace. Fisher moved within one
shot of Westwood, but Westwood birdied three successive holes, capped by an
18-foot putt on the 11th green. Fisher went out in the last group at the Wales
Open last weekend but fell back into sixth place after being penalized a shot
and fined for slow play as he lined up a putt on the 14th green. Fisher said he
had put that disappointment behind him. “I have taken the positive from last
week. I had a chance of winning,” he said. “The rest was just one of those
things, I had to deal with it and get on with it and the best way I could do
that was to use positives by playing good golf to give myself a chance and I
have done that here.” He relished the opportunity to go head to head in the
final round with his Ryder Cup colleague Westwood. “He is a world-class golfer,”
Fisher said. “And you want to measure your game against the best players in the
world and he is one of those.” Arian Foster Youth Jersey . Colsaerts won a
painstakingly slow final 1 up in southern Spain to claim his second European
Tour title and earn a winners check of C700,000 ($900,000), taking him above C1

. Najib said as a former defense minister, he believes China is not really
indulging in power projection. “Its military buildup does not indicate it is
moving in that direction,” the prime minister told a group of Council on Foreign
Relations members on Tuesday. Whitney Mercilus Jersey . The two teams will
also be aiming to build off extremely important wins in their last outing when
they take the field at Charlottes Bank of America Stadium for a Thursday night
showdown that will launch the Week 3 schedule of this 2012 NFL season. Carolina
earned its long-awaited return to notoriety thanks largely to the talents and
charisma of Newton, the leagues reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year who
established a new season standard for first-year quarterbacks by amassing 4,051
passing yards and accounting for 35 touchdowns (21 passing, 14 rushing) during a
dynamic debut for the top overall selection of the 2011 draft. Johnathan Joseph Jersey . Rain on Monday
forced five mens fourth-round matches to be either suspended or postponed. The
fourth-seeded Murray was in the second set when play was halted and on Tuesday
came back to finish a thorough 7-5, 6-2, 6-3 triumph against 16th-seeded Croat
Marin Cilic at the All England Lawn Tennis Club. CHICAGO —The team with the
NHLs worst record brings out the best in Blackhawks forward Viktor Stalberg.
Stalberg scored three goals for his first NHL hat trick and Chicago beat
Columbus 5-2 on Tuesday night to end a season-high four-game losing streak and
spoil the debut of interim Blue Jackets coach Todd Richards. Dave Bolland and
rookie Ben Smith also scored for Chicago. Stalberg has scored seven of his 12
goals this season in three games against Columbus, mired at the bottom of the
NHL standings at 11-26-5. So it figured he might snap a six-game streak without
a point on Tuesday. “I wish it was like that every night,” Stalberg said. “I
hope I can keep going against some other teams. “Playing them, it seems you get
a lot of chances. The pucks finding me out there.” The 25-year-old Stalberg
clicked on the left side of a line with centre Jonathan Toews and right wing
Patrick Kane. “As a line, we were getting chances and he (Stalberg) was the one
telling us, Stay with it, were going to get one,” Toews said. “Its been a long
time since we saw hats rain down at the UC (United Center), but it was a nice
thing to see.” Corey Crawford made 32 saves for Chicago. Smith was recalled from
Rockford of the AHL on Monday to replace injured star forward Patrick Sharp, who
broke his left wrist in a 3-2 loss to Detroit on Sunday shortly after scoring
his 20th goal. R.J. Umberger and Antoine Vermette had goals for Columbus, which
lost its second straight and is 2-9-1 in its last 12. Richards replaced Scott
Arniel, who was fired on Monday. The Blue Jackets are off to their worst start
since entering the league in 2000-01. Richards has been with the Blue Jackets as
an assistant since the start of the season, so he knows the plight his team
faces. “Its going to be a challenge,” he said. “Its not me, its everyone. Its
the other coaches in the room and the players. ... Were all in this together.
Theres work ahead of us.” Blue Jackets goalie Curtis Sanford stopped 20 shots.
Injury-depleted Columbus played without centre Jeff Carter and defenceman
James Wisniewski, both key off-season acquisitions. Carter, sidelined for 10
games earlier this season, separated his shoulder in a 7-4 loss at Anaheim on
Sunday. Wisniewski missed hiss fifth game with an injured left ankle and is
expected to miss several more weeks. J.J.
Watt Youth Jersey. “Weve dealt with some adversity, but I dont know
if were a fragile team,” Richards said. “Its just been a struggle for a number
of reasons.” Neither team sustained offensive pressure in the scoreless first,
although Crawford and Sanford each made a couple of close-in saves. Marian Hossa
set up Bollands short-handed goal at 4:12 of the second to open the scoring.
Hossa stole the puck from Columbus defenceman Nikita Nikitin at centre ice, then
drove down the right wing boards. He dished to Bolland in the slot, who beat
Sanford with a stickhandling move and a shot that clanked in off the right post.
Umberger tied it at 1 on a rebound from the edge of the crease at 7:54 after
Crawford stopped David Savards shot from the point. “We were in the game,” Blue
Jackets captain Rick Nash said. “We were close, but weve been close a lot this
year.” Stalberg made it 2-1 with 4:31 left in the second. After getting open in
the slot, he took Patrick Kanes feed from behind the net and beat Sanford with a
low shot. Stalbergs second goal, scored during a delayed penalty call at 6:32 of
the third, made it 3-1. He flipped a rebound over Sanfords shoulder after
Sanford had blocked Brent Seabrooks drive from the blue line. Smith extended it
to 4-1 just 27 seconds later when he drove down the left wing against Columbus
defenceman Marc Methot and backhanded a rising shot over Sanfords shoulder.
Vermette cut it to 4-2 at 8:32 following a scramble in front of the Chicago net.
He slid in a shot just beyond Crawfords outstretched right pad. Stalberg
completed the scoring on an empty-net goal with 1:40 left to finish his hat
trick. Notes: Richards coached the Minnesota Wild from 2009-11, compiling a
77-71-16 record. ... Toews went to the dressing room after being struck in the
helmet with a deflected shot early in the first, but returned midway through the
period. ... Chicago LW Daniel Carcillo sat out his fourth game of a seven-game
suspension. ... Blackhawks C Markus Kruger missed his seventh game with a
concussion. ... Columbus C Mark Letestu (hand) missed his third game and was
placed on IR. LW Tomas Kubalik was recalled from Springfield of the AHL to take
his place. ’ ’ ’
