In more than two decades as a professional golfer, Denmarks Soren Kjeldsen has never felt anything like it.Four victories on the European Tour have been career highlights, along with three top-10 finishes in the majors.But forming a special bond with countryman Thorbjorn Olesen at Kingston Heath en route to claiming a first-ever World Cup trophy for Denmark was a whole new experience.The Danes saw off a series of challenges on Sunday, closing with a six-under 66 in the best-ball format for a four-shot victory over crack American pairing Rickie Fowler and Jimmy Walker, Chinas Wu Ashun and Li Haotong and Frenchmen Victor Dubuisson and Romain Langasque.When youve got a guy like this (Olesen) on the back nine on Sunday you feel like you want to die for the guy, said the 41-year-old Kjeldsen.Its different and thats been very interesting to feel that.I get the sense why teams get so together when they play well and Ive never really experienced that before this week.Kjeldsen and Olesen broke the World Cup wide open with a scintillating 12-under 60 in the other round of best-ball competition on Friday and were never headed in the closing two days.The Danes only shaky moment on Sunday came when they both bogeyed the par-five eighth hole.Not long afterwards, China had narrowed their lead to a single shot.But six birdies from the Danes on the back nine calmed any nerves as they finished at 20-under 268.Me and Soren have been great this week with our mental strength - its been very, very good, said the 26-year-old Olesen, whose big-hitting, attacking style provided the perfect counterpoint to Kjeldsens more measured game.Just keeping calm and playing our game and weve both been playing very well.I wasnt too nervous on the back nine, I thought wed have to make some birdies at some point and they came at the right time.Australians Marc Leishman and Adam Scott saved their best for last, shooting a 65 on Sunday to finish in a tie for ninth at 11 under.Even daring to dream wed birdie the whole back nine it wasnt going to be enough, said Scott, who had paired with Jason Day to win the previous edition of the World Cup at Royal Melbourne in 2013.We needed a faster start.All 28 two-man teams shot two under or better on the final day, with the best round of 10-under 62 coming from world No.9 Alex Noren and fellow Swede David Lingmerth.It lifted Sweden to outright fifth on 15-under 273, a shot ahead of Italians Francesco Molinari and Matteo Manassero and Japans Hideki Matsuyama and Ryo Ishikawa.Wholesale Soccer Jerseys . -- Teemu Selanne scored the first goal of his 22nd NHL season, and the Anaheim Ducks extended the best start in franchise history with their fifth straight victory, 3-2 over the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night.

But they havent seriously shocked the Gators since 1989, when the unranked Dawgs knocked off 20th-ranked Florida 17-10 in Jacksonville.Georgia hasnt had much to toast in the series since.The Bulldogs, who have dropped 20 of the last 26 meetings, would like to see that change Saturday when they play the No. 14 Gators in one of the Southeastern Conferences most storied rivalries. A touchdown underdog that has dropped three of its last four games, including a home loss to Vanderbilt, Georgia (4-3, 2/3 SEC) could salvage a sub-par season and give coach Kirby Smart a signature win in his first year.I think weve got to play our best football, and we have yet to do that all year, Smart said.Florida (5-1, 3-1) hasnt been considerably better, but has managed to get to the top of the SEC Eastern Division. Staying there might be the challenge.The Gators continue to struggle offensively and could be without their leading tackler, linebacker Jarrad Davis, against Georgia running back Nick Chubb. That combination has some outsiders believing Florida should be on upset alert.Were nowhere near where were going to be and yet were getting some parts that are actually staring to step up and realize how good they can be, Florida coach Jim McElwain said. I like where were going. I like where were heading. Weve got a ton of young guys, obviously, as you look that are playing, and yet at the same time, those guys, its time that they quit being young.The Gators dominated the last two meetings against Georgia, outgaining the Bulldogs by 466 yards on the ground. Florida ran for 418 yards in a 38-20 victory in 2014 and then had 258 yards rushing in a 27-3 drubbing last year.The loss last season was a factor in Mark Richt getting fired and Smart replacing him.Smart knows the rivalry as well as anyone, going 1/3 against Florida as a player and then losing two more times as a Georggia assistant.dddddddddddd He was on the field for the 1997 victory in which the Bulldogs upset the defending national champion Gators.But not since 1989 has an unranked Georgia team beaten a ranked Florida squad.Our mindset is paying Georgia football, safety Quincy Mauger said. We dont look at the scoreboard or our record. We continue to play very physical, very tough Georgia football. At the end of the day, its a game that we love to play, so it doesnt matter what our record says.Here are some other things to know about Georgia and Florida, which have played the last 20 years in Jacksonville:COACHING REUNION: Smart and McElwain became close friends while coaching together at Alabama (2008-11). With Smart and McElwain as coordinators, the Tide went 48-6 and claimed two national championships. When you work together like that in an environment like that, you get to know each other pretty well, McElwain said. I mean, it becomes a family.DEL RIO RETURNS: Florida quarterback Luke Del Rio returns to the city where he spent a big chunk of his formative years. The son of current Oakland Raiders coach and former Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio, Luke essentially grew up in and around EverBank Field. It will be fun to be back there, the younger Del Rio said. His father, whose team plays at Tampa Bay on Sunday, is expected to be in the stands. If Florida prevails, the Del Rio family will have two wins in Jacksonville in less than a week. The Raiders beat the Jaguars 33-16 on Sunday.TOP TACKLERS: Georgias two leading tacklers will be able to play after being cleared in a marijuana investigation . The school announced this week that Natrez Patrick and Roquan Smith violated no university policies that would require a suspension.THOMPSON OUT: Florida announced Friday that running back Mark Thompson, third on the team with 262 yards rushing and two touchdowns, will not make the trip because of some choices and decisions hes made.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
