Northamptonshire 321 (Kleinveldt 91, Evans 74, Zaib 65) and 230 for 7 (Evans 73, Carey 4-77) lead Glamorgan 236 (Selman 122*) by 315 runsScorecard Nick Selman, the Glamorgan opener, carried his bat for a maiden Championship century, as Glamorgan battled to stay in contention against Northamptonshire at Swansea. However, by the close, the visitors were strongly placed to push for their first Championship win of the season, as they closed with a lead of 315 with three wickets still in hand.Selmans battling effort, which lasted 302 minutes and included 15 fours from 208 balls, meant he became the first Glamorgan batsman to carry his bat since the Australian Matthew Elliott achieved the feat against Hampshire in Cardiff in 2004.Although he received some support from the lower order, with Andrew Salter, Ruaidhri Smith and Owen Morgan all falling in the twenties, six of Glamorgans batsmen were dismissed in single figures as Northants seam attack, led by Mohammad Azharullah and Ben Sanderson, thrived in the conditions.Azharullah was their most impressive bowler with 3 for 58, as Northants seamers observed the virtue of bowling a full length on a pitch that does give them some assistance. However, had Selman not been dropped by Rory Kleinveldt from an easy caught and bowled chance from the first ball of the day, the damage would have been even greater.As it was, Northants secured a first-innings lead of 85, and were once again rattled by the teenaged debutant, Lukas Carey, who dismissed both openers early in the innings. Ben Duckett failed for the second time in the game when he drove loosely outside the off stump, and he was quickly followed by Rob Newton who edged to second slip. Laurie Evans remained steadfast however, and passed fifty for the second time in the game in adding 75 with David Murphy, who was eventually lbw to Carey. The 19-year-old then claimed his fourth wicket when Saif Zaib edged to the wicketkeeper, before Northants lost two wickets in successive balls to Tim van der Gugten.After striking 32 from 17 balls, Kleinveldt holed out on the extra cover boundary then Evans, who scored 73 with eight fours, was visibly annoyed with himsef when he pulled a short ball to the fielder on the square leg boundary. Graeme White and Sean Terry added some useful runs towards the end of the day as Northants closed on 230 for 7. Matt Joyce Braves Jersey . Cote was eligible to become a free agent Feb. 15.

Julio Teheran Jersey . -- Los Angeles Lakers guard Jordan Farmar will be out for roughly four weeks after tearing his left hamstring.FORT WORTH, Texas -- Ryan Palmer was standing in the fairway on his last hole Thursday when his longtime caddie and fellow Colonial member issued a challenge. James Edmondson, who won his third Colonial club championship last year, told Palmer that a birdie would match the caddies low round at Hogans Alley. "What do you do when you get that thrown at you," Palmer said. Palmer hit his approach to 5 feet at the 388-yard ninth hole for an 8-under 62 that matched the lowest PGA Tour first round at Colonial. That put him a stroke ahead of John Rollins, who had his best round this season. For all the rounds Palmer has played at Colonial, where he has been a full dues-paying member since 2010, he had never had such a low score. He generally plays there two or three times a week during the off-season and once or twice during weeks hes not playing the PGA Tour. "These old men here make me grind because I have to give them so many shots. Maybe that helps," Palmer said, smiling. "Usually in a practice round, I dont think Ive shot below 65. You just dont grind a lot. In this situation, you grind a little harder. You are able to focus more. When Im out here with the guys, I mean half the time I might grab a few (beers) for the back nine." Graham DeLaet of Weyburn, Sask., wearing pants with a plaid design similar to the jacket Colonial winners get, matched David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., Morgan Hoffmann and John Peterson at 64. Matt Kuchar, No. 13 in the world ranking and the highest-ranked player in the 136-man invitational field, was in a group of six players at 65. Rollins, who like Palmer lives in nearby Colleyville, has playing privileges at Colonial like other PGA Tour players though he doesnt play the 7,204-yard layout nearly as much as Palmer. "Hes a pretty permanent fixture in the mens group and everything that goes on out here," Rollins said. Palmer, the former Texas A&M player who has three PGA Tour victories, had a bogey-free round, hitting 12 of 14 fairways and 14 of 18 greens in regulation, with his first birdie putt being his longest. He was still even par until his 17-footer on his fifth hole, the 442-yard 14th, that started his stretch of four consecutive birdies. The only other birdie over 10 feet was a 14-footer at the 391-yard sixth hole. "Its pretty neat. A lot of fun," Palmer said. "Being a member here, we played it so many times, James annd I.dddddddddddd. I felt comfortable over every tee shot. I hit driver almost everywhere that I could. I drove it perfectly today I felt. I hit it close a lot and made a lot of putts from about 5 or 6 feet. ... (Playing partner) Brian Stuards caddie even made a comment on how comfortable I was because Ive done it so many times." In his nine previous PGA Tour appearances at Colonial, Palmers only top 10 was a tie for fifth last year. He missed the cut in 2010, the same year he became a full member. Now he finally leads at Colonial after matching his best-ever round on the PGA Tour. "This is what I dream about when I play here every year," Palmer said. " This is the one tournament I gear up for the most." David Toms had an opening 62 when winning at Colonial two years ago. He was tied for the first-round lead that year with Chez Reavie. The only other opening 62 was Patrick Sheehans in 2005. The course record of 61 is shared by six players, the last Chad Campbell in 2004. Rollins only bogey came after his drive at the 431-yard 12th landed in a fairway bunker. But he quickly got that shot back at the 193-yard 13th hole when he hit his tee shot within 7 feet of the cup. Kuchars only bogey came at the 241-yard, par-3 fourth , the middle hole of Colonials famed "horrible horseshoe" because of the layout of a three-hole stretch where that par 3 is sandwiched by the two longest par 4s on the course. But he came right back with a 10-foot birdie at the 472-yard fifth to get to 5 under. Colonial is one of Kuchars favourite courses. Plus, the PGA Tours two-week visit to the Dallas-Fort Worth area for the Byron Nelson Championship and the Colonial provides extra time for him to work with his Dallas-based swing coach. "I feel like I start coming along maybe the end of this week," Kuchar said. "Things get really clicking." Defending Colonial champion Zach Johnson shot 69, the 16th time in his last 17 rounds under par at Colonial. The lone exception in that five-year span, when he also won in 2010, was last years closing 72 that included a two-stroke penalty on the final hole. He had four bogeys and three birdies. "I think overall more positives than negatives. Im not going to dwell on too much here," Johnson said. "Its a fairly solid day, a day I didnt shoot myself out of it. I would have liked to have a couple of more birdies." ' ' '
