导出博客文章Jean van de Velde knows the pitfalls of Carnoustie better than most players, and spoke of the courses ability to take away quickly ahead of his return there in the Senior Open on Thursday. Ramik Wilson Rams Jersey . Van de Valde famously blew a five-shot lead in the final round of the 1999 Open at the Scottish course, providing one of golfs enduring images when he removed his shoes and socks while contemplating hitting a ball in the water as his lead disintegrated entirely at the 18th.The Frenchman decided against the shot, instead taking a drop which - when combined with his other strokes - saw him register a triple-bogey seven which meant the Open would go to a play-off. Justin Leonard and Paul Lawrie also contested that showdown, with Scotsman Lawrie prevailing to leave Van de Velde with thoughts of what might have been.Ahead of his return to Carnoustie for the Senior Open, Van de Velde remains fully aware of such memories but does not feel he is under any additional pressure because of his part in Carnoustie - and golf - folklore. Van de Veldes collapse led to a play-off, which was won by Paul Lawrie Its been such a long time since I really played so there is no expectation, he told Sky Sports News HQ. Its a cliche but its a case of taking it a shot at a time and a hole at a time and hopefully I can be somewhere around on Sunday.Before that Open I played there in a Scottish Open in the early 1990s so I know this course - I know what it can do.Its a course that can give but it can take away quite quickly too, sometimes. Todd Hamilton, who won the 2004 Open at Royal Troon, will also contest this weeks seniors event, although he admits he is not currently producing his best golf.This is a different course for the seniors, it is set up short but it is still a very difficult test, Hamilton said. As always with links golf you have to stay out of the bunkers.I havent been playing very well but you never know when its going to click like it did 12 years ago at Troon.

Snedekers best result so far this year is a tie for eighth place at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March.

The mood in Seattle was electrified as the parade featuring the NFL champions began near the Space Needle and made its way to CenturyLink Field, the home of the team.

Its a great accomplishment. Im not going to hide my feelings. Im proud of that. Doing it in a win, on a goal, it makes it special.Rick Nash and Dan Boyle also scored for the Rangers (10-8-4), who shut out the Flyers for the second time in nine days. Derek Stepan assisted all three goals.We were able to get some timely goals and when we didnt have a breakdown, we had some big blocked shots or big saves from our goalie, Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said.Philadelphia (8-11-3) dropped to 1-6-1 in its last eight games while getting blanked for the third time in its last six. Boos rained down on the Flyers during the third period.This is a better team than were playing right now and that our record is showing, Flyers general manager Ron Hextall said. We have to get going, no doubt about it. Im not happy with our record and our overall performance.Hextall said he didnt expect any imminent major shake-ups.We have a pretty good hockey team out there, he said. I havent lost any faith in this team, but were not happy, either.The Flyers held a players only meeting after Wednesdays 5-2 loss at Detroit but responded with a similar result. The Rangers had skated to a 2-0 win over the Flyers on Nov. 19. The teams will play in New York on Saturday.Boyles slap shot from the point on the power play gave New York a 1-0 lead just over six minutes into the game. Nash set a screen in front of goalie Steve Maason, who appeared not to see the puck before it zoomed past his stick side high into the net. John Kelly Rams Jersey. It was the 20th power-play goal allowed this season by Philadelphia, which entered last in the league on the penalty kill (72.9 per cent).The Rangers took a 2-0 lead 4:04 into the second period when St. Louis scored on a rebound for the 1,000th point of his career.Thats a lot of points, Vigneault said.

Talbot stopped 31 shots in the Nov. 19 win over Philadelphia.It was more of a big team effort, Talbot said. I was back there but a lot shots were from the outside, and the guys did a great job of boxing out and pretty much letting me see every puck.Philadelphia coach Craig Berube didnt fault the effort but said the Flyers need to play with more composure and less frustration.You become frustrated and lose your composure when you stop playing like a team on the ice, Berube said. That doesnt mean this is not a good team or a team that wants to stick together. Right now theyre a little bit lost that way. To get that composure back and get that frustration out of your game you need to go out (Saturday) and play like a team for 60 minutes no matter what.NOTES: A moment of silence was held prior to the game for former Flyers coach Pat Quinn, who died Sunday at the age of 71. .
