NEWPORT -- Unheralded Welshman Liam Bond is making the most of a late call-up to his national event, shooting a 3-under 68 Friday to take a one-shot lead after
the second round of the Wales Open.
Robert
Covington Jersey . Bond, who is ranked No. 1,528, was invited to play
Wednesday after receiving a call from the European Tour during a round with his
7-year-old daughter on a local course. After opening with a first-round 69, he
made five birdies on Friday to move to 5-under 137 at Celtic Manor, the 2010
Ryder Cup host. "My daughter and I were rooting for balls on my home golf course
just up the road from Celtic Manor when the Tour phoned me saying do you fancy
playing in the Wales Open," Bond said. "I told (them) I would snap their hand
off to play here, and the good thing is Celtic Manors only 10 minutes from my
house. "So it wont be long before Im home and putting the slippers on and
enjoying a nice cup of tea." First-round leader Espen Kofstad of Norway managed
a 74 and finished tied with Tjaart van der Walt of South Africa (71), one shot
behind the leader. Five players, including American Peter Uihlein (70) and
Irelands Paul McGinley (69), were another shot back in a tie for fourth.
McGinley, the European Ryder Cup captain, is looking to capture a first victory
in nearly eight years. "I played well today and found the wind a real challenge,
but then I enjoyed that," McGinley said. "Also, I played well here last year.
But then I learned so much from watching the Ryder Cup players when we were here
in 2010." Defending champion Thongchai Jaidee kept alive his hopes of making the
Presidents Cup team despite shooting a 74, which was enough to make the cut at 3
over. The Thai golfer needs to play all four rounds to give himself a chance of
breaking back into the top 10 on the International Teams Presidents Cup
standings. Hes 12th on the list. The Presidents Cup starts Oct. 3 in Dublin,
Ohio. A back injury forced Scotlands Stephen Gallacher out of the event after
just three holes of his second round, less than a week after losing out in a
playoff in the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles. Gallacher had injured
his back washing the family car before the Gleneagles event. Shortly after he
pulled out, Gallacher learned that his uncle Bernard Gallacher, the former Ryder
Cup captain, was hospitalized in serious condition. "I understand that he is
critical but stable," Stephen Gallacher said in a statement. "My family is in
disarray at the moment and it is obviously a worrying situation. We are all
anxious."

Americans, who avoided a repeat of Finlands upset at the Four Nations Cup in
Lake Placid, N.Y., in November. Finnish goalie Noora Raty made 58 saves in that
one, but the three-time Olympian could stop just 40 of 43 U.

A preview of the upcoming Winter Classic is on tap Saturday night in Toronto, as
the Maple Leafs host the Detroit Red Wings at Air Canada Centre. Saturdays tilt
is the first of four scheduled meetings between the Red Wings and Leafs this
season. The next encounter will be staged outdoors, as Detroit is set to host
this years Winter Classic on Jan. 1 at Michigan Stadium. Before battling in
front of 100,000 or so people, however, these two Original Six rivals will get
together for tonights clash in Toronto, where the Red Wings have lost four
straight games since last beating the Leafs on the road on Nov. 16, 2002.
Toronto has taken four of five overall from the Red Wings, who are now playing
in the same division as the Maple Leafs thanks to the onset of realignment.
Detroit moved from the Western Conference to the East prior to this season and
joined Toronto in the Atlantic Division. The Red Wings hope to stay on the right
track tonight after halting a six-game losing streak in their last trip to the
ice. Detroit stopped the 0-4-2 slide with Thursdays 3-2 overtime win over
Calgary, as the Wings salvaged the final test of four-game homestand.
Daniel Alfredsson scored his second goal of the game just 63 seconds into
overtime to help the Red Wings defeat the Flames and record their first win
since a road victory over New Jersey on Dec. 6. The Red Wings got a power play
when Calgary defenseman TJ Brodie was whistled for hooking with 42 seconds left
in regulation. On the ensuing power play, Pavel Datsyuk fed Alfredsson for a
one-timer in the slot and the veteran buried a shot past Karri Ramo. "Were
hanging in games and were playing some good hockey, and then all of a sudden, we
have some lapses where we give the other team way too many chances," said
Alfredsson. "We did that at times (tonight) too, but we grinded throughout the
whole time, 60 minutes, and obviously Pavels play there at the end of regulation
to draw the penalty turns out to be huge." Jonas Gustavsson made 20 saves for
the Red Wings, who avoided their sixth consecutive loss on home ice.
Henry
Sims 76ers Jerseys. . Detroit is playing three of its next four games on
the road before hosting the Winter Classic and has a solid 10-3-3 away record
this season. With regular No. 1 goaltender Jimmy Howard still out with a knee
injury. Gustavsson expects to start tonight against his former team. It would
mark the goaltenders first appearance against the Leafs since he joined Detroit
as a free agent in the summer of 2012. In addition to Howard, forwards
Henrik Zetterberg, Justin Abdelkader, Darren Helm and Johan Franzen will miss
tonights game due to various injuries. However, Red Wings defenseman
Danny DeKeyser is expected to return to the lineup Saturday after missing the
last 15 games with a separated left shoulder. The Maple Leafs also will try for
a second straight win on Saturday after halting a two-game slide of their own on
Thursday. James Reimer will get the start in goal tonight. Toronto won for just
the second time in six outings with a 2-1 shootout win against the visiting
Phoenix Coyotes. James van Riemsdyk and Joffrey Lupul both scored in the
shootout on Thursday to help the Maple Leafs pick up two points. Van Riemsdyk
slipped the puck through Mike Smiths five-hole on the backhand. Smith flew back
into the net and did not allow the referees to see where the puck went. After a
review, the goal was deemed to be good. Mikkel Boedker then beat James Reimer on
a backhand shot, but two Toronto shooters later, Lupul lit the lamp after faking
the shot and wristing the puck over the shoulder of Smith. Troy Bodie netted
Torontos lone goal in regulation. Cody Franson and Peter Holland picked up the
assists on the score and Reimer turned aside 34 shots for the win. "Youre always
looking for someone to step up for you. Obviously our goaltending has been
strong for us. Tonight was another example of James Reimer stepping up. Were
very fortunate to have him," said Maple Leafs coach Randy Carlyle. Toronto is
capping a three-game homestand tonight and is 12-8-0 as the host this season.
