导出博客文章DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- Henrik Stenson remained in position to win the European Tour money title, opening a one-stroke lead Friday in the season-ending World Tour Championship. Ronald Jones II Buccaneers Jersey . The Swede had an 8-under 64 to reach 12 under after two rounds on Jumeirahs Earth Course. Stenson also leads the Race to Dubai standings. The points champion will receive $1 million from a $3.75 million bonus pool that counts on the final money list. In September, Stenson won the PGA Tours season-ending Tour Championship in Atlanta to take the FedEx Cup title and $10 million bonus. Spains Alejandro Canizares was second after a 67. Stenson is trying to become the second Swede to top the money list, following Robert Karlsson in 2008. Stenson had a five-stroke advantage over Englands Justin Rose, second in the points standings. Graeme McDowell, third in the points race, was eight strokes behind Stenson. "They are chasing me as good as they can, and I know neither one of the guys are going to back down," Stenson said. "So it is better I keep my foot down and my head down and try and keep the momentum going." Stenson also won the Deutsche Bank Championship outside Boston en route to the FedEx Cup title. "The key for me this summer was that I have been up so many times," Stenson said. "When I needed the putts to drop they did in Boston, and when I played really well to win in Atlanta (U.S. Tour Championship)." Rose, the U.S. Open champion, says it is becoming increasingly difficult to catch Stenson. "I thought that 5-under par would be good enough for me to just stay in the tournament, which I am happy about," Rose said. "But then this golf course seems really tailor-made for Henrik. He just seems to be able to take advantage of all the par-5s, and hes playing really, really well. It will be tough to catch him." Defending champion Rory McIlroy was tied for ninth at 6 under after a 67. "Its nice to know going into the weekend you still have a chance to win the golf tournament, and thats the stage Ive been trying to get to for the last few months," he said. "I finally feel like Ive got to the stage now where I can contend week-in, week-out." Alex Cappa Buccaneers Jersey . Although Olivetti, a qualifier, had 13 aces, he failed to force a single break-point chance on Gasquets serve and lost his own three times. Gasquet next plays third-seeded Jerzy Janowicz of Poland, who won had 18 aces in a 6-2, 6-4 win against seventh-seeded Edouard Roger-Vasselin of France. Carlton Davis Buccaneers Jersey . -- With his team down 16 points in the second quarter and headed for another blowout loss at home, Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson yelled out to his players to keep shooting and keep fighting on defence. KITCHENER, Ont. -- Kelly Scott became the first curler to advance to the Page playoffs of the 2013 Capital One Road to the Roar Olympic pre-trial tournament with an 8-5 win over Renee Sonnenberg in the womens A-event final on Thursday. Scott and her teammates moved one step closer to locking down one of the final four spots at next months Tim Hortons Roar of the Rings Olympic trials, where eight mens and eight womens teams will be vying for the chance to represent Canada at the 2014 Sochi Games. The Kelowna, B.C., skip broke a close game open in the seventh end. Sonnenberg, from Grande Praire, Alta., had a chance for a double takeout with two Scott stones in the rings, but her rock barely ticked shot stone and sailed through the house, leaving Scott with a steal of two and a 6-3 lead. Scott used the hitting power of teammates Sasha Carter and Jeanna Schraeder to keep the house clean from then on, blanking the ninth and hitting out the 10th for the win. "Any time you can steal late in the game, especially a deuce, that does definitely give you an edge, and advantage," said Scott. "It was not an easy sheet to play finesse shots on, so we definitely got the easier shot selection after we jumped ahead three points. But they did a good job of hanging in there and making us execute those peels or they could have been right back in it." "Goal number one was to get through to that qualifying round," added Scott about clinching a playoff spot. "You want to be in that A versus B gamee, but that sometimes doesnt pan out. Buccaneers Jerseys. . We couldnt have scripted a better start to this whole event for ourselves." Scott will face either Sonnenberg again or Cathy Auld of Mississauga, Ont., in the Page playoff. Sonnenberg recovered with a 7-6 win over Tracy Horgan in the evening draw. Shell next face Auld, who edged Val Sweeting 7-6. Elsewhere, both 2010 silver-medallist Calgarys Cheryl Bernard and Edmontons Laura Crocker both staved off elimination with crucial C-Event victories. Bernard got off to a fast start with three in the second end and a deuce in the fourth en route to an 11-5 triumph over Winnipegs Barb Spencer. Crocker, meanwhile, stole five in the seventh end to beat Krista McCarville 10-3. On the mens side, John Morriss rink from Kelowna and Vernon, B.C., earned a spot in the Page playoff with an 8-3 win over Brad Gushue of St. Johns, N.L., in the A-event final. It was battle of skips who have claimed the last two Olympic gold medals. Gushue won in 2006 at Turin, Italy, throwing last rocks for a team skipped by Russ Howard, while Morris won in 2010 at Vancouver throwing third rocks for Kevin Martin. Morris will play the B-event winner Saturday, with the winner advancing directly to the Roar of the Rings. The loser of that game will play the winner of a contest between the two C-Event winners on Sunday for the other Trials berth. Gushue will be back on the ice Friday against reigning Brier champion Brad Jacobs of Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., in a B-event semifinal.
