Bernhard Langer topped the leaderboard at 7 under

ENDICOTT, N. Chad Greenway Jersey.Y. -- Bernhard Langer topped the leaderboard at 7 under when first-round play in the Dicks Sporting Goods Open was suspended because of rain Friday. Coming off a victory two weeks ago in the 3M Championship in Blaine, Minn., Langer was facing an 8-foot birdie putt on the 16th hole when play was stopped at En-Joie Golf Course. "I played pretty solid. I drove the ball very well. I hit a lot of fairways to give myself opportunities with my iron shots," said Langer, who closed with a 62 in his victory in Minnesota. "Im disappointed we had to stop because I was going well, feeling good, but hopefully well continue tomorrow." After 1.7 inches of rain fell Tuesday night, the course couldnt hold much more water Friday before it became unplayable. Gene Smith, assistant tournament director for the Champions Tour, said it wouldve taken at least an hour for the course to become playable again once the rain stopped. "We have several fairways out there that are totally under water. If a player was trying to take relief from casual water, he would probably have to go about 40 yards from where the ball is on the fairway," Smith said. "Were not going to play that way." Defending champion John Huston, Willie Wood and Chien Soon Lu were 5 under. Willie Wood, one of only 12 players to complete the round, shot a 67. Huston had three holes left, and Lu had nine to go. Langer said hes going to have to wake up at about 4:30 a.m. to get to the range at ahead of the 7:30 a.m. start. While he doesnt have many holes to go before he finishes his first round, hell have plenty of waiting around to do before the start of his second round. "Therell be a lot of hanging around, preparing, warming up twice," Langer said. "Its just going to make a long day, thats all." Tournament director John Karedes said the course drains well because the fairways are either sand- or gravel-based. New drainage also was installed after En-Joie had major flooding because of Tropical Storm Lee last September. But this weeks rain was too much for it to handle. "Just when that amount of rainfall that happens so fast," Karedes said, "no amount of drainage is going to help on that." Christian Ponder Womens Jersey.A.

I wouldnt necessarily say this is the deal that ends the saga for the Phoenix Coyotes; I wouldnt say take it to the bank.No one should doubt Ralph Kruegers credentials to be behind a bench in the NHL, but his promotion from associate coach of the Edmonton Oilers under the departed Tom Renney to head coach of the team was surprising in one sense. That is, when the Oilers opted to not bring back Renney, it was thought the team was looking for a significant culture change and keeping everyone else on the coaching staff except Renney and promoting his right hand man to the head position is hardly perceived as a dramatic difference. But the Oilers are convinced Krueger in the pilots seat will be different enough than Krueger in thee co-pilots chair. Brett Favre Vikings Jersey And that his experience, most of it in Europe and notably with the Swiss national team program, will stand him in good stead, to say nothing of his intimate knowledge of the current Oilers. The 52-year-old Krueger is regarded as a very direct in his approach, a good communicator, one with sound technical knowledge and he even had the endorsement of Renney, who told the Oilers on his way out the door that Krueger would be the best man for the job. And after interviewing other candidates from outside the organization, the Oilers apparently came to the same conclusion. ' ' '
