KANSAS CITY - Sporting Kansas City returns to action for the first time in two weeks as the club gets set to take on the Montreal Impact at Sporting Park on
Saturday.

. You can listen to the action on TSN Radio 690 Montreal
beginning at 8:30pm et. Sportings last outing was a 0-0 draw with Real Salt Lake
two weeks ago in a rematch of last seasons MLS Cup final, while Montreal is
still searching for its first win of the 2014 campaign after playing to its
third successive draw last weekend, a 1-1 stalemate with Chicago. Montreal lost
its first three games to begin the season, but has rebounded to take three
points from its last three matches. And although the team sits on the bottom of
the Eastern Conference and has yet to record a win this season, goalkeeper Troy
Perkins is encouraged by the last three results. "Everybody seems to see the
negative, but the reality is weve gotten points in our last three games,"
Perkins said. "Were unbeaten, its still early in the season and were getting
points, so we keep moving forward." In the Impacts last game, the club got a
goal from Jack McInerney in the 43rd minute to take the lead on the Fire with
McInerney scoring in his debut following a trade that sent Andrew Wenger to the
Philadelphia Union in exchange for the 21-year-old. But McInerneys debut was
spoiled by a second-half goal from Chicagos Quincy Amarikwa, forcing Montreal to
settle for a point. The Impact wont be expected to pick up their first win on
Saturday, but Perkins feels that the atmosphere in Kansas City will force his
team to raise its level on play and that Saturdays contest will be a great test.
"You go to places like that and it demands that you step up your game," said
Perkins of Montreals trip to Kansas City. "As professional athletes, you want to
prove yourself against the best. You have to play at a higher level. You want to
be tested. Its a high energy environment and I love playing those types of
games." Sporting will be pleased to have some extra rest ahead of the match, but
it wont do any good for defender Ike Opara, who is likely to miss the rest of
the season with an ankle injury. Opara made a career-high 18 appearances last
season after joining Sporting from San Jose in midseason, but now head coach
Peter Vermes will have to replace the 25-year-old along the back line. One
player who Vermes can rely upon is goalkeeper Erik Kronberg, who is making the
most of his first season as the starting netminder after spending eight years as
the number two, first to Kevin Hartman and then Jimmy Nielsen. "It always is
tough for players like that to be able to follow in somebody elses footsteps,"
Vermes said of Kronbergs emergence this season. "But I truly believe that hes
starting to forge his own path, and I think people are starting to see that he
has qualities that are important to our team as well. Hes going to continue to
grow as a keeper, and thats what we need him to do." The 0-0 draw with RSL
marked Kronbergs second clean sheet of the season in the five games he has
started, while Montreal will hope to replicate the success it had against
Sporting last term when the Impact won two of the three meetings between the
sides.

. The two-time former Formula One champion downplayed his third-place finish
three weeks ago in China and said progress is going slow for Ferrari as it tries
to make up ground on Mercedes.AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Adam Scott is relishing every part
of being Masters champion. The drive up Magnolia Lane. A couple of practice
rounds with his dad. Wearing the green jacket. And, certainly, the champions
dinner Tuesday night. But before anyone gets worked up about having to eat
"bugs," no worries -- thats just Aussie-speak for a type of lobster. Scott went
with surf-and-turf off the barbie for his Down Under-themed menu, so he doesnt
expect too many complaints. "I think they are going to be pretty happy with what
I serve up," he said with a sly smile, "particularly the wine." A year later,
Scott is back at the scene of his greatest triumph, a thrilling playoff victory
over Angel Cabrera that gave the 33-year-old Australian his first major
championship. The breakthrough, after so many close calls and missed chances,
has propelled him to the greatest run of his career, including top-five finishes
at both the U.S. Open and British Open. Scott knows he has the game to add
another major title or two to his resume. Hes eager to take advantage of it. "Im
at the highest level Ive ever been at," Scott said. "My window of opportunity, I
really think, is right now, and I dont know when it will close. So I just have
to keep going as hard as I can right now." From the back of the room, his
parents, Phil and Pam Scott, looked on proudly. After Adam was done with his
interview session, they joined him on the podium for a family photo. Phil Scott
is pleased with the way his son has dealt with his increased fame. "You can have
respect for everything, from the game to the course to you guys," the father
told a small group of reporters. "Youve got a choice to do it nicely or not. If
you take the choice to do it nicely, I think you will have a better time." Phil
Scott, who once coached his son, got a chance to join him on the course for
practice rounds Friday and Sunday. It was the thrill of a lifetime for both of
them. The elder Scott said he probably shot in the low 80s, though neither of
them took the round too seriously. Instead, they relived some of the moments
from Adams victory a year ago, from the clutch birdie putt on the 72nd hole that
led thee golfer to shout "Cmon, Aussie!" to the 12-footer on the second playoff
hole that gave him the green jacket.

. "My dads been coming here for all these years Ive been
playing, so it was nice for him to stand in the middle of the fairway rather
than out on the edge," Scott said. "I think he also developed a pretty good
appreciation for how good some of the guys are out here, chipping and putting
around these greens." Phil agreed. "This place can make a fool of you," he said,
"as it did to me." Not long after Scott finished off Cabrera down at the 10th
hole, the winner began thinking of what it would mean to his life. Unlike so
many first-time winners who are caught off guard by their newfound fame, he had
a keen appreciation for how much things would change. Scott learned to manage
his time better, dealing with his increased obligations while making sure it
didnt affect the hours he needed to spend at the practice range. In addition, he
eagerly relished the perks that came with being a Masters champion. "After
winning this tournament last year and everyone asking me what the best thing
about it was, I always felt like there would be things in the future that would
be great about coming back here for the rest of my life," Scott said. "Ive got
lots of those memories to look forward to. Thats why this place is just so
unique." With Tiger Woods sidelined by injury, Scott has a chance to move to No.
1 for the first time in his career. He would take over the top spot by finishing
no worse than a tie for third. Of course, hes aiming to win another Masters,
which would make him just the fourth player to capture back-to-back titles. The
other ones to do it: Jack Nicklaus (1965-66), Nick Faldo (1989-90) and Woods
(2001-02). "I want to really get my head into playing well this week, because I
think Im in good form," Scott said. If he does win another Masters, hell switch
up the menu for the next champions dinner. "I would love to have served some
meat pies at the cocktail hour, but it couldnt be arranged," Scott said. "Next
time, if I get another chance to do it, Id love to serve some meat pies."
