HOYLAKE, England - Only one Canadian will play the weekend at Royal Liverpool and hell do so possibly wearing my jacket. Custom Denver Nuggets Jerseys . David Hearn started well and survived a bumpy patch in the middle of his round to finish at 1-under for the first 36 holes. While hes more than excited to be teeing it up on Saturday at the Open, he wasnt fully prepared for the weather that is supposed to hit Liverpool. Depending on which forecast you listen to, it ranges from horrendous to Start-building-the-Ark. The R&A has taken the rare step of moving up tee times and having players go off both tees in threesomes. Its not a big deal for Hearn – hes just glad to be playing – but he didnt come prepared. All his rain gear has short sleeves, which may not be suitable for whats supposed to blow in. So hes borrowed my rain jacket, which certainly isnt worn out from good swings being taken in it. Hopefully, the jacket will propel Hearn to good things but its likely he can do that with or without it. His play so far this week is impressive, especially for a guy who had never teed it up on a links course. "It feels great for me," said Hearn. "This is my first Open Championship and Im super excited to be playing four days. Im obviously 11 shots back so Im not that close to contending, but I think with two solid rounds I can move up the board nicely and still give myself a really nice finish." This is the second consecutive major for Hearn in which hes played well. At last years PGA, he was on the leaderboard early in the week before sliding down on the weekend. But he believes thats not just a coincidence, that he has the tools for majors. "I have the patience to be able to play away from a lot of pins," said Hearn. "I also have the patience to shoot par and know it was a good day. A lot of players on Tour, I think they really get used to making birdies. Im the type of player who can grind out a good day. I like playing in majors; I like the challenge of playing a hard golf course. I think most of my good finishes this year have been on hard golf courses." While Hearn is playing on, Graham DeLaet is heading back to Canada after a difficult second day. He stumbled from the gate with a double and a bogey on the first two holes, and had a horrid eighth hole that shows everything that links golf can be. His drive was just off target, ending up in the fescue on the right side of the hole. He extricated his ball only to watch it sail into the fescue on the left. The next shot ended up in a plugged lie in a bunker, which forced him to play out sideways. He finally got it on the green and put it into the hole for a triple-bogey seven. "On the front nine I was just in bad shape off almost every single tee, it seemed," DeLaet said. "Even the couple of fairways I hit, I hit these spiny shots into the wind and I had so much club into the greens." On the second nine, the Weyburn, Saskatchewan product rallied and looked as if he might just make it back to the right number. A birdie on 10 and then a chip-in eagle on the 16th gave him hope but that was dashed later when he fell one shy of the cut line. "I just hit it so poorly on the front," he stated. "I dont know what it was on the back side, if I kind of almost stopped caring or stopped trying so hard or whatever it was, I was able to hit some nice shots." When he left the course, still unsure of whether hed make the cut, he declined to answer whether he would leave early for the RBC Canadian Open or hang around and jump on the charter flight. He was still hoping to get two more rounds on Royal Liverpool. Instead, his next game will be at Royal Montreal. Custom Memphis Grizzlies Jerseys . LOUIS -- Known for his game-managing and defensive skills, Yadier Molina made another statement with his bat. Custom New York Islanders Jerseys . A player confirmed to TSN on the condition of anonymity that he received his ballot yesterday. Another confirms hes been told to expect his shortly. "The unions executive committee insists a strike vote does not mean were pushing away from the table," the player said. "But we want the league to know were serious about our position. https://www.cheapcustomjerseysonline.com/custom-kansas-city-royals-jerseys/ .ca has you covered for whos in, whos out and what to expect from all 30 teams.WINNIPEG -- It was all over in the sixth end as Jennifer Jones scored six against fellow Winnipeg skip Chelsea Carey on Sunday to open the Canadian Curling Trials with a commanding 10-2 win. "If we could score a six in every game, obviously I would be pretty excited," Jones said. "Its a long week but a short week. Its a pretty short round robin from what were used to so you dont want to get behind the eight ball early." Carey, curling without third Kristy McDonald who was out with the flu, said she wasnt letting the loss get to her and felt they played well, including alternate Breanne Meaken "We were just the wrong side of the inch," said Carey. "My last rock picked in three and we were just off on everything after that. We were throwing it real good and the weight was really close and it would just rub a guard and wed just miss the runback and my double in the fourth end just doesnt quite move it far enough." It wasnt the only lopsided game as Edmontons Val Sweeting defeated reigning Scotties champ Rachel Homan of Ottawa 10-3. In closer matchups, Ontarios Sherry Middaugh defeated Saskatoons Stefanie Lawton 5-3 and Renee Sonnenberg of Grande Prairie, Alta., beat Edmontons Heather Nedohin 8-6. "One too many picks I think," said Homan after the loss. "Its always a little bit different from tournament to tournament. Were just kind of learning the ice and getting a feel for it and next game were going to come out a llot stronger. Custom New York Mets Jerseys. " For Sweeting it was, well, sweet. The 26-year-old has only been in one Scotties and is far from being a favourite in the trials. "Everyone likes a good underdog, so if thats us, thats totally fine with me," she said. "We were a little fortunate in the beginning of that game . . I struggled early, I dont think my team did." The turning point in the Jones-Carey game was clearly the sixth end which put the veteran ahead 9-1. Carey started with the hammer and they had blanked the first and the fifth end, but Jones stole one in the second and two in the third, when Carey failed to hold her shooter on an open hit, giving Jones a 3-1 lead. Facing a five in the sixth, Carey missed a shallow hit completely with her first rock. Jones elected to remove Careys centre-line guard with her first rock and Carey came off her own to roll close to the four but Jones raised hers to remove it and make it six. Jones may be one of the most successful curlers in Canada but she has never managed to even come to winning an Olympic berth. She failed to make the playoffs in her previous two attempts in 2005 and 2009. Even Jones was a little star struck with the appearance at the trials of actor Will Ferrell, in character as anchorman Ron Burgundy. "We were fooling around with him and it was pretty cool." He donned a kilt, entertained fans and did a little colour work with veteran TSN curling broadcaster Vic Rauter. ' ' '
