Graeme McDowell didnt expect to get an early jump on his defense of the OHL Classic at Mayakoba, but when he missed the cut last week in Las Vegas he headed south to the eastern shores of Mexico with some work to do and some needed downtime on the beach to enjoy.McDowell will be among the field of 132 players trying to keep their focus on the golf while competing in Playa del Carmen, Mexicos version of a Riviera of sun, surf and sand.G-Mac came to this tournament last year looking to put a charge in his season and left with a win that carried huge momentum for the rest of the year.It was a very important victory for me and it opened up some nice doors for me and put me in some good positions in the FedExCup race, McDowell told a pre-tournament press conference on Tuesday.This time of the year is becoming very important for the PGA Tour and thats why we continue to see more and more players playing at this time of the year. Its so important that they get off to a fast start with so many great players now and it being so difficult to win.McDowell, of Northern Ireland, held the 36-hole lead at last years tournament but found himself trailing the lead by three strokes entering the final round.Then a 5-under 66 in the fourth round, including an eight-foot birdie putt on the last hole, pushed him to 18-under 266 and into sudden-death with Jason Bohn and Russell Knox.On the first extra hole, again No. 18, he hit a brilliant approach shot with a 5-iron from about 200 yards to within three feet for a birdie to turn back Knox and Bohn.That gave McDowell, who won the 2010 U.S. Open at Pebble Beach, his third career PGA Tour victory and first since the 2013 RBC Heritage.It was great to reconfirm to myself that when I put my mind to it, I can still compete at the highest level, McDowell said. I suppose Im disappointed that I havent really kicked on in 2016 with that momentum, but this year has been a funny one. When its been good, its been really good; when its been bad, Ive been going home on Friday nights.The OHL Classic at Mayakoba is the sixth event in the PGA Tours wraparound schedule that bridges two years with 47 official events in 43 weeks.That includes seven events during the fall of 2016 which will award FedExCup points. After a break, the season will resume in January with the traditional swing through Hawaii before moving to the West Coast.El Camaleon Golf Club at the Mayakoba Resort is a Greg Norman-signature course. It will play as a 6,987-yard par-71 this week, with a routing that bends through three distinct landscapes -- mangrove jungles, limestone canals and oceanfront stretches of sand.Seven of the nine past champions of the OHL Classic at Mayakoba are in the field this week, including Charley Hoffman, Harris English, John Huh, Johnson Wagner and Brian Gay.Six Mexican golfers will also compete, led by Carlos Ortiz, a three-time winner and Player of the Year on the Web.com Tour in 2014.McDowell is one of seven major tournament winners in the field, joining Ernie Els, Angel Cabrera, Keegan Bradley, Stewart Cink, Jim Furyk and Webb Simpson.Furyk, who makes his first start of the season, said the course suits his game.Historically, I havent played much in the fall because I play so much during the rest of the year, but with my wrist injury and surgery I only played 14 events last season, Furyk said.Im fresh and I targeted coming here. I heard a lot of positives about the course here and the resort. I like the course and the greens roll pretty good. Its not overly long but you have to drive the ball in the fairways here.The OHL Classic at Mayakoba made golf history when it became the first PGA TOUR co-sanctioned event to ever be contested outside of the United States and Canada in February of 2007.To commemorate its 10-year anniversary, OHL and its founder Juan-Miguel Villar Mir increased the events purse by $800,010, taking the total to $7,000,010, the largest prize money distributed at any golf tournament to date in Latin America.The additional $10 dollars are designed to acknowledge the 10 years of the tournaments existence.Continuing a trend from past seasons, three of the first five winners this season (Justin Thomas, Hideki Matsuyama and Cody Gribble) were under the age of 30 at the time of their victories.Fourteen different winners under the age of 30 accounted for a total of 18 PGA Tour titles in 2015-16. Dave Valle Jersey . Datsyuk will miss Tuesdays game against New Jersey and could be sidelined longer, while Cleary will likely miss at least the next three games. Its been an injury-plagued season for Datsyuk, who has suited up for just 39 games. Matt Festa Mariners Jersey . -- Nate Robinson has played for seven teams, so beating one of them is no longer a rare occurrence. https://www.cheapmariners.com/1755k-omar-narvaez-jersey-mariners.html . Manuel was offered a position the day he was fired. He accepted earlier this week and the team made the announcement Friday. David Segui Mariners Jersey . LOUIS -- St. Tom Paciorek Mariners Jersey . Newcastle dominated in the early stages but City weathered the storm and then raised its game in extra time. Negredo broke the deadlock from close range after a simple move in the 99th minute before Dzeko took the ball round goalkeeper Tim Krul to seal the victory in the 105th. The Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) has handed Narsingh Yadav a four-year suspension from wrestling, starting today, after it overturned the National Anti-Doping Agencys (NADA) decision to clear the wrestler of doping charges. It instead upheld the World Anti-Doping Agencys (WADA) appeal against NADAs decision.?The CAS further ruled that all competitive results obtained by Narsingh from and including 25 June 2016 shall be disqualified, with all resulting consequences (including forfeiture of medals, points and prizes).Narsingh was due to fight his first bout on Friday morning Rio time but now has to leave the Games Village with immediate effect.Narsingh has to vacate the Athletes village by tomorrow. He is shattered. We demand a CBI enquiry. said WFI President Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. We will raise the matter and find out the people involved in this sabotage.NADA, UWW (United World Wrestling) had cleared him, along with the IOC (International Olympic Committee) and the Olympic organising committee. WADA should have appealed this earlier, Singh added.Reacting to the development, IOA (Indian Olympic Association) secretary general Rajeev Mehta further told PTI, Its not a just loss for Narsingh at the Court of Arbitration for Sports but he was beaten by his compatriots who did not want to let him compete at the Olympics and not by his opponents.The picture is clear and neither I nor anyone has to say whos done the foul play. If you go back, you can easily connect the dots and would clearly know who could be the suspect.As of now, the culprits have been successful in stopping him from the Olympics, though we may challenge the order and minimise the ban. Its a loss for the country, he said.Further hinting at a conspiracy theory, Mehta said, We must go deep into the matter and the government should initiate a CBI inquiry into the matter. Its not a small thing, its plaguing our countrys sport and we must nip this in the bud.Days afterr he won the battle at the Delhi High Court (against Sushil Kumar to participate at the Olympics), a phone call came from his SAI centre in Sonipat about some doping activities, the raid happened and his sample was found positive.dddddddddddd It cannot be sheer coincidence.Narsingh had tested positive for methandionene, a banned substance, on July 23, and was provisionally suspended. However, he was cleared by a NADA disciplinary panel on August 2, after they accepted Narsinghs sabotage theory - where he claimed his food had been spiked with illegal substances - and exonerated him from all charges.The CAS panel, though, noted that there was no evidence that he bore no fault, nor that the anti-doping rule violation was not intentional, thereby imposing the standard four-year period of ineligibility.?On Wednesday, soon after WADA lodged their appeal against Narsinghs clean chit, the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) had said that?the timing of the appeal was unusual since they had forwarded the NADA decision well in advance, and had even received clearance from them.?Narsingh is one of our best medal contenders. To put him through this mental agony just ahead of his bout is really unfortunate, the WFI had then said.Narsingh was due to begin his 74kg campaign in the round of 32 against Frances?Zelimkhan Khadjiev at 6:38 PM IST on Friday, but following the CAS decision, Khadjiev will now be given a walkover.?The latest decision comes as a huge blow to Narsingh, at the end of what has been a controversial and turbulent Olympic journey for the wrestler, which also included?a public and bitter spat with double Olympic medallist Sushil Kumar, who was the other contender for the sole spot in the 74kg freestyle category. Narsingh was favoured as he had earned the Olympic quota in the World Championships last year.? ' ' '
