FORT MCMURRAY, Alta. Robert Mathis Jersey . —Victorias Cory
Renfrew earned his first Canadian Tour victory in thrilling fashion Sunday,
defeating Matt Hill of Sarnia, Ont., in a four-hole playoff to capture the
Syncrude Boreal Open. Renfrew carded a course record 63 in the final round, then
won the all-Canadian playoff by converting a five-foot birdie putt on the fourth
extra hole. “I knew birdie would have to win it,” said Renfrew, who carded nine
birdies in his final round including five straight and on six of his first seven
holes. “I was fortunate to come out on top.” After Hill birdied the final hole
of regulation to force extra holes, both players made routine pars on the first
two trips down the par-5 18th in sudden death. Then, after Hills approach during
the third playoff hole flew the green and clanged off the grandstands, the
23-year old made an outstanding shot to match Renfrews par and force a fourth
extra hole. Both players proceeded to hit approaches to within five feet, but
only Renfrew was able to convert his, giving him the victory. “Seeing Matt hit
one in there close, I figured it was time to bear down and hit one close too,”
said Renfrew. “I figured we were going back for another hole. Matts a great
player and its just unfortunate he missed his.” The 26-year old Renfrew earned
$24,000 for the victory. While he was unable to secure victory, Hills earnings
of $14,400 gave him the ability to join the Canadian Tour as a member for the
remainder of the 2012 season. As an affiliate member, Hill needed to earn the
equivalent of 50th place on the 2011 Order of Merit to secure status, a number
he has now exceeded by more than $8,000. Nate McCoy of Des Moines, Iowa, shot a
one-under 71 to place third. McCoy was the leader after the first three rounds
and took a one-shot lead over Hill heading into the final round. Three shots
back of McCoy at 11-under par were Roger Sloan of Merritt, B.C., and Daniel Im.
Pat Angerer Jersey . France had the better
possession, but mistakes handed Argentina a try in each half, while France could
only manage one try. France hasnt won a game in Argentina against Los Pumas
since 1998, but will get a chance in the final game of its two-game tour on June
23 in Tucuman. T.Y. Hilton Jersey . The 21-year-old from
Thornhill, Ont., is expected to lead the Canadian team into the best-of-five
tie. Canada must win in order to remain in the World Group for 2013, while a
loss would relegate the squad back to Americas Zone Group I. http://www.nflcoltsfan.com/adam-vinatieri-jersey
. Their attitude shifted from agitated to optimistic. For the third straight
series, the Eastern Conferences top-seeded team is all even through four games,
and each time New York has headed into Game 5 off the disappointment of a loss
that would have given the Rangers a commanding 3-1 edge. Andrew Luck Jersey . The move is retroactive
to May 6. Robertson has a record of 1-0 with a 6.30 earned run average in eight
appearances out of the bullpen this season. The lefty had been part of the
rotation for most of his first six seasons with Detroit, as all but six of his
168 games with the Tigers before this year were starts. Coby
Fleener Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla.DETROIT—Josh Hamilton was in
the clubhouse with his Texas teammates, trying to stay hopeful a day after
finding out he could miss two months with a broken arm. “Obviously, Id like to
be out there playing with them, but itll be fun to watch them the next few
weeks,” Hamilton said. “Ill work hard and do what I need to do to get back as
soon as I can.” Hamilton broke his upper right arm on a headfirst dive into home
plate Tuesday at Detroit. The Rangers put him on the 15-day disabled list
Wednesday, but the reigning AL MVP is expected to miss six-to-eight weeks with a
non-displaced fracture of the humerus bone at the top of his right arm, just
below the shoulder. He isnt expected to swing a bat for a month. Hamilton tried
to score from third on a foul popup. He called the daring dash “stupid” after
Tuesdays game and said third-base coach Dave Anderson told him to go. He said
Wednesday he doesnt hold Anderson responsible for the injury. “People are going
to say that Im throwing my coach under the bus or whatever, but Im just telling
you what happened,” Hamilton said. “I listened to my coach and went. I dont
blame Dave for this happening.” Texas recalled infielder Chris Davis from
triple-A Round Rock. Hamilton hit .359 with 32 home runs and 100 RBIs in 2010.
Hes hitting .333 this season, and his spot in the lineup will be difficult to
fill. Manager Ron Washington said the injury likely will mean a bigger role for
outfielder David Murphy, who started in left field Wednesday against the Tigers.
Michael Young takes Hamiltons Noo. Andrew Luck Elite Jersey. 3 spot in the
batting order after hitting fifth for eight of the first 11 games. “Were going
to put nine guys out there and were going to go after it and see if we can hold
this thing together,” Washington said. The injury occurred Tuesday after
Adrian Beltre lifted a foul pop near the Tigers dugout. Hamilton was on third
base, having just made a headfirst slide on an RBI triple in the first inning.
Third baseman Brandon Inge and catcher Victor Martinez both chased the ball,
leaving the plate unprotected. Inge made the catch, Hamilton tagged up and took
off. Inge tossed to Martinez, who scampered back in time to tag Hamilton. “It
was a hell of a play,” Detroit manager Jim Leyland said Wednesday. “We should
have had two guys there. We really didnt have anybody there. ... Its a shame he
got hurt.” Hamilton said afterward the play was “way too aggressive”—but
Anderson said the teams style isnt going to change. “Its an aggressive play that
we tried to do and it didnt work. That took us a long way last year—a lot of
those plays that we did. Thats part of our game,” Anderson said. “If he doesnt
get hurt, then were not even talking about this right now. Hes out at home
plate, we go back out. ... My job at third base is two things: Make sure they
get the signs, and try to score as many runs as we can possibly score.”
Washington wasnt going to second-guess his slugger too much. “He could have slid
feet first and broken his ankle,” Washington said. “Anything can happen.” ’ ’ ’
