SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France -- Tied with Richard Sterne of South Africa in the final round of the French Open, Graeme McDowell didnt blink on the back nine. The Northern Irishman made two of his five birdies on the way home to shoot a 4-under 67 Sunday and capture his ninth European Tour title by four strokes. Sterne, by contrast, made three birdies on the front nine before faltering after the turn with three bogeys to hit a 71 and finish runner-up. "Thankfully Ive managed to learn how to calm my emotions and learn how to respond under pressure, sometimes," McDowell said. "Im starting to become very comfortable under pressure." McDowell won the World Match-Play Championship in May, but missed the cut in his three following tournaments. That could have given rise to doubt on the tough Albatross course of Le Golf National, which will host the Ryder Cup in 2018, but he put that aside to finish in style. "There was no real panic button," McDowell said. "Its been a funny season. Inconsistent, yes. But when its been good, its been really good." Graeme Storm of England, the 2007 winner, and Eduardo De La Riva of Spain shot 69s to share third place, five strokes off the pace. McDowell played solidly throughout the tournament, making only four bogeys in four rounds. In fifth place after the second round, the 2010 U.S. Open champion started believing in his chances on Saturday. "The last 12, 13 holes yesterday, I felt the old juices kind of starting to flow again," McDowell said. "I hit a lot of quality shots coming in yesterday, and I got a lot of belief from that. You know, if the putter had been a little hotter perhaps I could have got my nose in front a little earlier in this tournament." McDowell and Sterne entered the final round with a share of the lead and both broke away from the field by making two birdies for a three-shot advantage after five holes. Sterne won the Joburg Open in South Africa and was the runner-up at the Dubai Desert Classic, both in February. "He really hung in there, played some great golf, and I knew it was not going to be an easy day," McDowell said. "The way he played kind of inspired me to play better, and you know it was a really good battle with him." McDowell missed short birdie putts on Nos. 6, 11 and 14. But the Northern Irishman could rely on his accurate long game. "That was the key really," said McDowell, who led the field in hitting greens. "Short game was tricky around this course. The rough was quite sticky and the greens were quite firm and fast. You had to be very careful to leave the ball on the correct side of the pin, and I hit a lot of greens." Sterne initially got the upper hand when McDowell missed a short par putt on No. 7. But McDowell picked up a shot on No. 10 to draw level with Sterne. He then took sole possession of the lead when the South African sent his tee shot into the thick rough to bogey No. 12. McDowell smiled when he sank a short par putt on No. 16 to increase his lead to two strokes as Sterne sailed 15 feet past the flag from a chip on the edge of the green to make bogey. "Fifteen and 16 were just kind of those lucky breaks that you need when you win tournaments," McDowell said. "Fifteen was an average putt which I thought missed and it went in. Sixteen, I still dont know how that putt went in. It was a right-to-left putt that I was trying to hit right edge and I felt like I started it left edge, and it managed to go in." McDowell rode the momentum with a birdie on No. 17 while Sterne missed a four-foot par putt. After clearing the water hazard on the last, McDowell waved to the crowd on his way to the green with victory just about secured. Yeezy 700 Utility Black .

Yeezy Boost 350 Canada . LOUIS -- Heading into the final stretch of the season, the issues for the Chicago Bears banged-up defence only seem to be getting worse. England could be open to the possibility of Eddie Jones staying beyond the 2019 World Cup and are willing to look overseas once again if the Australian does step down.While there have been no discussions with Jones over his future once his four-year contract has expired, the Rugby Football Union has already turned its attention towards succession planning.The mastermind of nine straight victories in a flawless record at the helm intends watching cricket in Barbados once Japan 2019 is over and upon his appointment last November declared that grooming an English successor is a fundamental part of his role.However, if no suitable candidate emerges, both scenarios of extending Jones tenure and recruiting from overseas will be considered by RFU chief executive Ian Ritchie.Eddies contract ending in 2019 is certainly the discussion that we had, but its up to him. Who can tell what happens over the next three years or so? Ritchie said.Im working on the assumption of 2019 because thats what we did the deal on in the first place.As it moves and develops, no doubt well sit down and discuss it together. I do think its early doors.I think when we get nearer to it, and it depends on how he sees it, if hes changed his mind, and whether we want to ask.When Eddie came in there was a discussion about his assistants being English and weve got to get a situation of better integrated coach development.Well be happy if there is an English coach who stands up to that. If we havent, well need to go back to someone with proven international experience.Nigel Melville, the RFUs director for professional rugby who left his post at USA Rugby to work at Twickenham, highlights the importance of looking overseas if there are no suitable domestic candidates.In America we always wanted to have an American coach in charge of the Amerrican team, he said.ddddddddddddWhen we did he was very good for the environment but he wasnt necessarily good for our rugby and we had to bring in an international coach.Wed love our coaches to be English if theyre good enough. Weve got to give them the right education and opportunity.Meanwhile, Ritchie has sounded a note of defiance to cash-strapped southern hemisphere heavyweights New Zealand, South Africa and Australia wanting a share of the profits when they play at Twickenham.Reports state that the All Blacks have demanded half of the matchday revenue generated - in the region of ￡6million - in order to play England during the autumn, but Ritchie has responded by declaring build your own stadium.When we went down there for the three Test matches in June, we got no money at all, Ritchie said.They get the gate money and TV money and thats the same for Lions tours as well, so Im not sure that I get this argument.I didnt ask for a revenue share from Australia. And ditto from the Lions, so I dont see why there is a particularly strong case for arguing the other way.If we manage to sell out 82,000 at Twickenham because of our efforts and because weve invested in the stadium, thats something weve rightly invested in.If you look at the amount of money the RFU has spent on Twickenham since it was conceived, well then of course we should get a return on that.Of course they would say they want more money. There is nothing to stop Australia or New Zealand building a stadium - go and build a stadium if you want to increase your revenue growth.Weve all been through it -- Wales, Ireland and Scotland too. You incur some debt in stadium build and then you reap the benefits of that. ' ' '
