Somehow, some way, Graham DeLaet got old.
Jourdan
Lewis Jersey . Not old as in ready for the old folks home, but old as in
hes not a wide-eyed kid on the PGA Tour anymore. The Canadian will turn 33 in a
couple of weeks and is at the start of his sixth season on the big tour. Its
easy to say hes hitting his prime as a professional golfer. Hell tee it up for
the first time in 2015 next week in Hawaii at the SONY Open and is hoping to
play four of the first five stops on the west coast, missing only Pebble Beach.
Its so funny, DeLaet reflected on his veteran status. Im amazed at how fast its
all gone by. When I first got out there everything was so new and now I feel at
home. As DeLaet has found, one of the issues with getting older is that you
start to feel the aches and pains a little more. Year after year of swinging and
swinging, and swinging again add up. That was the case at the end of last year
when he was forced to withdraw from two big events in Asia with a neck ailment.
He attributes that to the relentless schedule he had leading into those stops,
playing seven of eight weeks from the British Open through the BMW Championship.
It really takes its toll, DeLaet stated. You get to the end of the year and
everyone is pretty banged up - hips, knees, backs. You dont think of golf as an
impact sport but it is. Yet with time off and lots of rehab, the Saskatchewan
native who has battled a long list of aches and pains in his career, declared
himself fit and ready to go. Ive been playing golf six days a week in December
and January with no problems, he said. Really Im healthy, or at least as healthy
as Im going to be. Goal No. 1 is to get himself back into the top 50 in the
Official World Ranking, which opens up a lot of doors to tournaments such as
majors and World Golf Championship events. Withdrawals from the CIMB Classic and
the no-cut WGC-HSBC Championship in China led to the drop for DeLaet. As a
result, hes currently not in the field for the 2015 Masters. It was a bummer not
getting that invitation in December, said DeLaet, who played Augusta National
for the first time last year. I feel like Im playing well enough right now so Im
hopeful. If he can climb into the top 50 (hes currently 58th) prior to the years
first major, hell get into the field. If the top 50 is goal No. 1, then getting
on the International Team for the Presidents Cup is a close second. After his
maiden run with the team in 2013 where he was among the stars of Nick Prices
squad, hes anxious for another try. Another thing to add to that list would be
his first win, something many felt would have happened by now. Im not worried
about it, DeLaet said. Ive been close a lot of times and been one shot out of a
playoff a bunch of times. I know Im playing well enough and I feel like its
going to happen. I dont feel any pressure and in the past when Ive won I know
that you cant force it. Its just going to take the right week when you get a
break or a putt drops or something goes your way. Its not easy. Even opposite
field events or quote-unquote weaker field events are hard to win. There arent
too many guys out here who can win when they dont have their best stuff. One
thing DeLaet is excited about for this year is the expanded company hell have on
tour. Six Canadians – including three rookies – is a sign that good things are
happening in Canadian golf, he said. Its great seeing Adam [Hadwin] and Nick
[Taylor] and Roger [Sloan] up there. Theres a lot of our guys playing good golf
right now. Even the amateurs, with Brooke Henderson and everything. Its a good
time. With his health back and a new year set to start in Hawaii, its good times
indeed.

http://www.cowboysproshopauthentic.com/Womens-Chidobe-Awuzie-Authentic-Jersey/ . Pressley missed all of last season with Cincinnati because of a knee injury,
but the 5-foot-10, 249-pounder had been expected to fill a need on Clevelands
roster. PHILADELPHIA -- After playing some of their best hockey this month, the
Philadelphia Flyers now sit and wait. Or take a relaxing vacation somewhere
warm. Brayden Schenn and Scott Hartnell scored, Ray Emery stopped 32 shots and
the Flyers beat the Calgary Flames 2-1 on Saturday for their fourth straight
victory. With momentum going their way, its not an ideal time for Philadelphia
to take 18 days off for the Olympic break. Five players are headed to Sochi to
play for their countries and several others are headed to sunny destinations.
"We knew this was going to happen," Schenn said. "Its up to us to keep in shape
and be ready when we come back." Flyers chairman Ed Snider expressed his disdain
for the break Thursday night, saying "its ridiculous. Theres no benefit to us
whatsoever." Players werent quite that vocal. "Im going to relax mentally and
make sure Im ready for the second half," captain Claude Giroux said. Making his
first start since Jan. 23, Emery had a shutout going until Matt Stajan scored
with 2:26 left. The Flyers are one point behind the New York Rangers for fourth
place in the Eastern Conference. Despite winning six of their past eight games,
the Flames are tied for the third-fewest points in the NHL. "I think weve been
playing good hockey. Weve been in every game," Stajan said. "Sometimes the
hockey gods dont reward you, and thats not to say they didnt play well. They had
chances, too, that our goalie made some saves. Thats the game. Well take this
break, come back, and try and get back at it on home ice." The teams resume
ttheir regular-season schedule Feb.
Xavier
Woods Jersey. 27. Schenn gave the Flyers a 1-0 lead in the second period
when he ripped a shot from the left circle off goalie Reto Berras glove and into
the net. Wayne Simmonds set it up with a nice pass from the side of the net.
Hartnell made it 2-0 early in the third when he scored his 15th goal, deflecting
a slap shot by Giroux. Passed over by Team Canada for the Olympics, Giroux has
been one of the leagues top players the past two months. He has 37 points in 29
games since Dec. 11. Giroux still plans to watch the Winter Games and root for
Canada. "Its a great event and good hockey," he said. Forwards Michael Raffl and
Jakub Voracek, and defencemen Kimmo Timonen, Andrej Meszaros and Mark Streit are
the Flyers heading to the Olympics. Berra and defenceman Ladislav Smid are the
only Flames going. "I think the team is getting comfortable with the way we are
expected to play," Emery said. "I think the rest of the year is not so much
easier, but you get into the playoff battles and you get those competitive
juices flowing. I think the tough part is out of the way, the tough months are
normally January and February and it gets a bit long." NOTES: Flyers G
Steve Mason had cramping issues during a win over Colorado on Thursday night,
but couldve started against the Flames. ... Schenn extended his career high in
goals to 15. ... . Emerys previous appearance was Jan. 25 in relief of Mason.
... The Flames had won five of their previous six games in Philadelphia. ...
Calgary lost 2-0 in Montreal on Tuesday night.
