UPPER ARLINGTON, Ohio -- Joey Sindelar, one of four former Ohio State players in the U.S. Senior Open at Scioto Country Club in suburban Columbus, has felt the support of the hometown crowd all week.It apparently was a big help Friday. The 58-year-old Sindelar shot a 4-under 66 on a hot and humid day to take the second-round lead. He had five birdies, including two in a row after a bogey on No. 5. After finishing the first round with a 69, he was at 5 under overall.Ive never been unconvinced that that many people in your corner, as the four of us have witnessed this week, cannot somehow kind of talk you into what might happen, Sindelar said.His highlight was a 40-foot birdie putt on the par-3 17th, after pars on the six previous holes.Im seeing the line very well, and I seem to be able to hit the ball where Im looking, and so far its been a fun week with the putter, said Sindelar, whose best finish in a senior event was a second in 2009. Billy Mayfair, making his first senior start after turning 50 last Saturday, was a stroke back after a 67. He had four birdies and a bogey.Any time you put the words USGA in front of a tournament, first of all, theyre going to be the best venues youre ever going to find, and theyre going to be set up very difficult, Mayfair said.Youve got to drive the ball well. Youve got to hit good, smart iron shots, and youve got to position the ball on the green really well. Usually, thats below the hole. The greens will get firmer and firmer.First-round leader Vijay Singh followed his opening 66 with a 75 to drop into a tie for eighth at 1 over.I didnt hit that many fairways, Singh said. It was a lot windier today. I got some bad breaks, didnt putt as well. But all in all, I managed. I didnt play as bad as what the score reads.Defending champion Jeff Maggert also was 1 over after a 71. He won last year at Del Paso in California. Sindelar said stamina has been factor for the 50-and-over players in the blistering heat and high humidity. For one thing, Sindelar said he also had trouble keeping his hands dry on the club. The conditions also have worked in their favor, with the course playing hard and fast.Some of us have aged way different than others, he said.Im extremely arthritic so the heat is good for me. It keeps me loose so Im kind of enjoying it. But, boy, at night were cramping no matter how much you drink. Everybody got beat down a little. Its just tough physically to go through that out there.John Daly had an 81 to miss the cut. He had three double bogeys, six bogeys and a birdie. Bernhard Langer was tied for 23rd at 3 over after a 70. Because of the threat of rain Saturday, the players will play in threesomes starting at about 7:30 a.m.Mel Blount Womens Jersey .B. - Sebastien Auger made 44 saves as the Saint John Sea Dogs edged the visiting Acadie-Bathurst Titan 2-1 on Saturday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action.

Jack Lambert Steelers Jersey . The news was first reported on Gonzalezs Twitter account and confirmed by the Rockies. Gonzalez has a six-week window before position players have their first workout at spring training in Arizona.England Lions 279 (Westley 84, Foakes 70, Alsop 40, Rashid Khan 4-48) and 210 (Foakes 89*, Gubbins 53, Rashid 8-74) beat Afghanistan 273 (Stanikzai 51, Nabi 51, Roland-Jones 6-73) and 168 (S Curran 3-13, T Curran 3-54) by 48 runs ScorecardTom Curran reflected on the perfect end to a great trip after teaming up with his younger brother Sam to fire England Lions to a 48-run victory over Afghanistan in a compelling match.Curran senior, who had already taken career-best List A figures in the Lions one-day whitewash against the UAE, claimed three wickets in a fiery new-ball spell to reduce Afghanistan to 27 for 4 as they chased a victory target of 217.Then Sam took over, adding two more wickets to the one he had taken late on Friday, meaning that when Afghanistan slipped to 54 for 6, all the wickets had gone to the Curran brothers.Lancashires Liam Livingstone made the next breakthrough with his leg-spin, Somersets Jack Leach claimed two wickets both courtesy of smart stumpings from Ben Foakes, and Tom Curran wrapped up the win with a cool catch on the fine leg boundary, fittingly off the bowling of Toby Roland-Jones, the Lions captain, whose six-wicket haul in the first innings had earned a narrow lead.But Afghanistan made the Lions sweat, with their experienced captain Asghar Stanikzai making 43 from 58 balls, and teenage leg-spin discovery Rashid Khan underlining his all-round ability with 52 from 73 balls to follow 12 wickets on a remarkable first-class debut - until he became the second victim of the Leach-Foakes combination.Four-day wins are always the most satisfying, said Tom Curran, still only 21 himself. We put in a good couuple of weeks training prior to this, had a whitewash in the one-day series, and now to top off the trip with a four-day win, the boys are really pleased.ddddddddddddThis is Currans second consecutive Lions trip to the UAE - he also played a starring role in their T20 series victory over Pakistan A in Dubai last December - and he confirmed it had been even more special because he shared it with Sam, who does not turn 20 until next June.Its unbelievable, he added. Its still something I treasure. The journey continues. Im so proud of him. Were going nicely. I definitely feel a lot more comfortable in this environment. Im putting in the yards and working hard to do everything I can to be knocking on the doors for England. Well enjoy the Christmas break and try and come back and do the same in Sri Lanka, if selected.The Lions play two four-day matches and five one-day matches against Sri Lanka A in February and March, with the squad to be named this week.I was just pleased to get a go in my first four-day game for the Lions - that was obviously good experience, Sam Curran said, after ending with impressive figures of 6-1-13-3. It was also my first time playing with a Kookaburra which was a different experience: different lines, different lengths.Swing is probably my strength, but this tour Ive learned other ways of bowling on flat wickets, which has been very interesting. Ive learned things with Kevin Shine that I probably wouldnt have needed in England. Its nice to know you can play on different wickets. ' ' '
