His next shot almost landed in the backyard of a home adjoining the golf course. He needed two shots to reach the green and then one-putted for a 7.The projected cut of low 70 and ties for the final two rounds was at 1 over.----2:05 p.m.Henrik Stenson shot a 3-under 67 to take the lead in the second round of the PGA Championship at Baltusrol Golf Club.Stenson, who also had a 67 in the first round, had a 3-under 31 on his second nine to move one shot in front of Martin Kaymer, who had a 69, Patrick Reed, who had a 65 to match the low round of the tournament, and Jimmy Walker, the first-round leader who had an afternoon tee time.The 40-year-old Stenson, who won the British Open this month, is looking for consecutive major titles.---1:40 p.m.The hole wasnt where it was supposed to be.The second-round hole location sheet provided to the golfers for No. 10 listed the cup as being on the left side of the green when it was actually cut on the right side.The PGA of America Rules Committee did not notice the hole had been cut in the incorrect location until after each member of the first group of the day had hit his second shot to the green.The hole was played where the first group played it for the rest of the day.PGA Chief Championships Officer Kerry Haigh met with the players -- Colt Knost, Joe Summerhays and Yuta Ikeda -- after they signed their cards to offer an explanation and apologize.

He had five birdies through 11 holes.Walker will play in the afternoon wave.----12:00 p.m.British Open champion Henrik Stenson eagled the par-5 18th to cap an even first nine of 36 at the PGA Championship.

He was at 3 under, two strokes behind first-round leader Jimmy Walker.Patrick Reed and Jordan Spieth both had 4-under 32s for their first nine to get to 4 under, one shot off the lead at Baltusrol Golf Club.----11:30 a.m.Jordan Spieth, one of the favorites coming into the PGA Championship, shot a 4-under 32 on the back nine at Baltusrol Golf Club moving him one shot behind first-round leader Jimmy Walker.Spieth, who shot 70 in the opening round, started and ended his first nine holes with two birdies. He added another on the par-4 13th. His lone blemish was a bogey 4 on No. 12.The other members of his group, Sergio Garcia and Bubba Watson, werent able to get their rounds going. Garcia had a 3-over 38 and was at 3 over for the tournament, while Watson had a 35 and was even for the tournament.----11 a.m.Gary Woodland, one of the Tours long hitters, went from his worst hole to his best in a hurry. Playing the front nine after a 1-under 35 on the back at Baltusrol Golf Club, Woodland had a triple-bogey 7 on No. 1. He didnt wait long to erase the bad feeling, holing out from the fairway for an eagle 2 on the 430-yard second. That put him at 3 over for the PGA Championship.---10:40 a.m.Andrew Beef Johnston, the Englishman who has become a crowd favorite with his constant smile and bushy beard, moved into the Top Ten for the PGA Championship with a 2-under 34 on the back nine. Johnston, 88th in the world rankings, birdied both par-5s on the back nine at Baltusrol Golf Club and was 2 under, three shots off the lead.Due to the morning rain delay, the PGA of America announced that afternoon tee times will be pushed back 45 minutes.----9:45 a.m.Jordan Spieth, who opened the PGA Championship with a par round of 70 on Thursday, started his second round with consecutive birdies to move within three shots of first-round leader Jimmy Walker.Martin Kaymer, like Spieth a two-time major champion, started his second round at Baltusrol Golf Club with bogeys on two of his first three holes but then birdied the par-3 4th to get within two shots of the lead.U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson, who needs a low round to even make the cut after an opening 77, parred his first two holes.----9:25 a.m.The PGA championship has resumed after a delay of nearly an hour from rain.Baltustrol received an inch of rain overnight, and the rain was steady into Friday morning. Some of the fairways had too much water and play had to be stopped.Jordan Spieth, Sergio Garcia and Bubba Watson teed off nearly an hour after they left the practice range. They started on the 10th tee.----7:45 a.m.More than an inch of rain fell at Baltusrol overnight, and it kept right on falling as the second round began in the PGA Championship.Of greater concern to Dustin Johnson is the 12-shot gap between him and 18-hole leader Jimmy Walker. The first order of business for the U.S. Open champion is making the cut.The adage in golf is that players cant win a major on Thursday, but they can lose it.The record for largest comebacks after the opening round at the PGA is eight shots by three players, most recently Keegan Bradley in 2011 at Atlanta Athletic Club. Then again, Bob Tway was nine shots behind after 36 holes when he won at Inverness.Rory McIlroy opened with a birdie-free 74. The PGA record for highest start by a winner is 75 by John Mahaffey in 1978 at Oakmont.---7 a.m.The weather matched the mood of Dustin Johnson and others trying to make up ground Friday in the PGA Championship.Jimmy Walker took a one-shot lead into the second round at Baltusrol and did not play until the afternoon. Johnson was the biggest surprise of the opening round when the U.S. Open champion had a pair of double bogeys and only one birdie on his way to a 77.He stood outside the clubhouse as a steady rain fell, knowing he had to make up ground to avoid missing his first cut in nearly 18 months on the PGA Tour.Two-time major winner Martin Kaymer was one shot behind, and British Open champion Henrik Stenson was two shots back. Both played in the morning. Air Max 95 Outlet Italia . The 17-year-old native of Marystown, N.L., pulled out of Skate Canada International last month in Saint John, N.B., with the same problem.

Scarpe Air Max 97 Scontate . -- Stanford squashed Oregons national championship hopes again, schooling the Ducks in power football. MINNEAPOLIS -- It is going to be a while before Carli Lloyd gets a chance at the mulligan that really matters to her: the chance to sweep World Cup and Olympic titles in successive years. That chance vanished in a haze of penalty kicks on a Brazilian afternoon in August.But as she stepped away from the U.S. womens national team for a bit, if only to let life beyond soccer intercede long enough to get married next month, a message followed her as she walked off the field: She and the U.S. will be back to work on unfinished business.A shaky Swiss defense happened to be the unwitting vehicle for the message, as Lloyds two goals set the United States on the path to a 5-1 comeback win over Switzerland.Even excluding a 9-0 romp against an overmatched Thailand, the U.S. has scored 12 goals in its other three games since the Olympics. Each of those dozen goals came against teams ranked in the top 20 in the world and preparing for next summers European Championship.You learn from your failures, Lloyd said. You learn from your losses more than you do from your wins. I think for this team to push on to the next [World Cup and Olympic] cycle -- not that I wouldnt have liked to win a gold medal -- but I think its good for everybody. Coaching staff, players, we need more will, desire. I think thats really what its all about.Thats especially true if intangible desire translates to a tangibly more productive team in the final third.Few will mistake this city across a river from Minnesotas state capital for Brasilia, Brazils capital. But on more than one occasion the past few days, locals generally aware the U.S. women were in town but hazy on the specifics confused Switzerland with Sweden, the team that eliminated the U.S. from the Olympics in Brasilia. The confusion proved prophetic.It took just seven minutes for Switzerland to take the lead off a counter similar to that which Sweden used to take a lead in the Olympics. The Swiss then dropped into a defensive shell, like the Swedes before them, and this half of the Twin Cities served up a healthy dose of déjá vu.The cause of the deficit was admittedly different. The lineup for the U.S. on Sunday included just six of the same players as the Olympic quarterfinal. Even more consequentially, for the second game in a row, the Americans?played out of a 3-5-2 formation, a departure defensively from their past bread and butter.The goal demonstrated all the perils of such a strategy, with the back three of Becky Sauerbrunn, converted midfielder Allie Long and national team rookie Casey Short pulled out of shape by the Swiss counter attack. Goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris stopped the first shot, but no one could prevent Sandrine Mauron from scoring the rebound for a 1-0 lead.Its unfortunate [that] the way we were going to get exposed in a three-back was kind of how it happened, Sauerbrunn said. We all had to shift over to one side of the field, which left the weak side, which was my side, very open. It was kind of a team breakdown.After Sweden struck first in the Olympics, the United States had 59 minutes -- the final 29 of regulation and 30 more in overtime -- to turn its overwhelming possession into two goals and a win. The Americans, of course, managed only one goal and then faced the lottery of penalty kicks.This time, Lloyd pulled the U.S. level in the 25th minute, turning after some nifty interplay with Andi Sullivan and Kelley OHara and blasting a shot from 27 yards past the goalkeeper. She then put her team ahead to stay in the 51st minute, first playing in Christen Press with a nice pass from deep in midfield and then following the play to line up and finish Press deflected shot.The floodgates opened, and the U.S. soon added three more goals: one from Press, one from Crystal Dunn and one from Kealia Ohai 48 seconds after she made her national team debut, which broke by one second the mark teammmate Lynn Williams set days earlier against Switzerland in Utah.ddddddddddddBut look again at the timing of Lloyds goals: two within 44 minutes of going behind. Thats good enough to have escaped Brasilia in a parallel universe.Among the ways Hope Solo erred in her now infamous comments after the Olympic exit was that in calling Sweden cowards, she left the impression that what the Swedish team did that day was easy, that any team could do it, but most werent willing to sink to such supposed moral depths. The Swiss proved otherwise. The stakes were obviously different, but they werent nearly as committed to the cause as Sweden. It was a lackluster and disjointed defensive effort.But it wasnt just bad defense. The U.S. was better able to pick apart a compact defense than with a barrage of hopeful shots against Sweden. Against the Swiss, rookies Williams and Sullivan excelled for the second game in a row. The defensive alignment that tested the back line also gave the U.S. better numbers with which to attack in the middle of the field.What I was really impressed with today was our ball movement in the final third, Ellis said. I thought just a lot of combinations, we created a lot of chances. I thought the personnel in there today gave us a lot of types of options. I thought Carli was superb in the pocket, in terms of coming off and playing final passes. I thought our forwards did a great job of holding it up. In the final third, when a team sits and defends as well as they do or sits that low, youve got to have really good movement on and off the ball.No one was a more active part of that than Lloyd, who began the game as one of two forwards but soon settled in as the attacking midfielder behind forwards. Whether combining with Sullivan behind her or playing in balls to Williams, Press and Dunn, she exerted an influence on the game worthy of FIFAs player of the year.It has been an eventful year for Lloyd, to say the least. While adjusting to the newfound fame that came with her starring role in the 2015 World Cup, she began by inheriting the role of co-captain from Christie Rampone and Abby Wambach. That was no honorary title when a spokesperson was needed to address a wide range of issues. The year also included a knee injury that left her racing the clock to be at full speed for the Olympics. Lloyd has navigated all of that, plus the not inconsequential matter of a wedding.Through it all, she scored 17 goals -- one shy of her magical 2015 total.Its probably been one of the most challenging years shes ever had, in terms of a lot of off-the-field stuff, Ellis said. In terms of her form, I think the qualifying, there were some goals to be had there. And I think in retrospect, the longer layoff going into the Olympics, its hard for a player to hit their form when theyve not been playing games. But I think shes just given us a great visual of what she can do.She will do it amidst open competition for playing time that looks all the more intriguing after Williams, Sullivan and Short, in particular, seized the opportunity of their first call-ups and looked ready to stick around for some time. Lloyd might also do so playing in a system that, if nothing else, made largely inconsequential friendlies endlessly intriguing.The U.S. is changing, but lets be clear: It is changing around Lloyd.For me, 2016 was good, Lloyd said. Could I have been better? Absolutely. I think everybody can always be better than they think they were. But now its about getting married and taking a little time off and rebuilding and getting after it again.To those thinking the Swedes offered a blueprint of how to undo Lloyd and the Americans: Well, you better be able to follow that plan a good bit better than the Swiss did Sunday.
