THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- Bernhard Langer has a left knee injury that could force him to withdraw from the PowerShares QQQ Championship, the inaugural Charles Schwab Cup Playoffs event.Im not sure Ill be able to play tomorrow, but Ill make that call at noon when my tee time is, Langer said Thursday. For right now, Ive been getting treatment and trying to stay off my knee.Simply, the decision will come down to whether the he can hit the ball.I tried yesterday and it didnt work, Langer said. I cant transfer my weight. I cant put any pressure on my left knee.The 59-year-old German star leads the 50-and-over tour with tour four victories and has wrapped up the season money title with $2,697,459.I had an MRI on Monday because I couldnt walk properly and just had problems, Langer said. Obviously, havent hit a shot yet, havent been out on the course. I walked it, but I havent hit a shot yet because I cant, I cant put much pressure on my knee. Walking these hills is very difficult, especially downhill.The top 72 players on the money list earned spot at Sherwood Country Club, the former site of Greg Normans Shark Shootout and Tiger Woods event that is now called the Hero World Challenge. The playoff field will be cut to 54 for the Dominion Charity Classic next week in Richmond, Virginia, and to 36 for the Charles Schwab Cup Championship the follow week in Scottsdale, Arizona.Each dollar earned in the first two events is worth two points and will be added to the regular season total. At the Charles Schwab Championship, points will be reset so that the top five only have to win to capture the Charles Schwab Cup. Langer has a big enough advantage over second-place Miguel Angel Jimenez that he would keep the lead event even if he doesnt play this week.I came all the way here from south Florida and committed to play, said Langer, a three-time Cup champion. But if Im going to do long term damage, the last thing I want to do is try and play and do further damage and then I cant play next week or the following week, which that would really be bad if I cant play the Schwab Cup. You know, the priority is to get my health. You cant play golf if youre not healthy. The game is hard enough when youre healthy, you dont need to be injured.Fred Couples is attempting to play after sitting out eight months with a back injury.Im honestly hoping to get through this, the 57-year-old Couples said. Its one of my favorite golf courses, so I found out last week that I was in the playoff. I havent played since February, so I thought, `You know, Ill commit. I hit balls on Friday before I committed and actually felt OK.John Daly qualified 70th. He has five top-25 finishes in 14 starts since turning 50.All of us old guys have seen this course a few times, so theres no home-field advantage, Daly said. Ive heard nothing but great things about the changes and everything. Roger Maris Cardinals Jersey .

The 15th-ranked Canadian men lost the opening two games of their European tour: 19-15 to No. 17 Georgia and 21-20 to No. MILWAUKEE -- Though they have hardly any hope of a magical run to the postseason, the Atlanta Braves are quietly putting together one of their best stretches of baseball during an otherwise disappointing season.The Braves 2-1 victory Tuesday night at Milwaukee extended their winning streak to four games and with a victory over the Brewers on Wednesday night, Atlanta will have won its third consecutive series.I think you have to just stay the course, Braves manager Brian Snitzer said. When you handle adversity there are good things on the other end of it. But you have to handle it. You take ownership of things and handle it. The way these guys come to the ballpark every day and prepare for todays game is very impressive to me. They are all professional. They do their work, get ready to play and leave it all out there when the game starts.During their recent run of success, few Braves players have been hotter than outfielder Nick Markakis, who tied the game Tuesday with an RBI single, sparking a seventh-inning rally. Hes been on a tear since the All-Star break, batting .353 with six doubles, two home runs and 14 RBI.Winning is always fun for anybody whether you are playing for a playoff spot or you are playing for next year, Markakis said. Whatever it may be, Im excited for the guys. Hopefully we can keep it going.Right-hander Joel De La Cruz will try to do just that for Atlanta, as he looks for his first victory of the season.He allowed only a run on two hits his last time out, but walked five in a loss to the Cardinals.To be honest, I didnt really feel like I pitched my best tonight, De La Cruz said after the outing through a team interpreter.dddddddddddd I know Ive got more out there, Ive got more in the tank. I can do a little bit better next time. I feel like it wasnt my best performance and Im looking forward to going out there and getting a better start.Cruz actually began his professional career with the Brewers, who signed him as an amateur free agent in 2006 and appeared in two games for Milwaukees Arizona Rookie League entry that season.Milwaukee, meanwhile, will look to snap a three-game losing streak behind right-hander Chase Anderson, who has started to get back on track after a rocky stretch.Over his last three starts, Anderson is 2-0 with a 2.25 ERA. He took no decision his last time out, holding Arizona to two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out five in an 11-inning 3-2 loss to the Diamondbacks.(Yasmany Tomas) got the best of me tonight, Anderson said after the game. But (I) kept the team in the game, and it was a great game until the end. Team fought hard, (catcher Martin Maldonado) did great back there, and it sucks to be on this side because our guys pitched really well.Anderson, acquired over the offseason from Arizona, comes into the contest 6-10 with a 5.01 ERA and five quality starts in 22 outings.Hes faced Atlanta just once in his career, earning a victory after allowing two runs on five hits and a walk with eight strikeouts while with the Diamondbacks last season.
