Graham DeLaet was out on the practice range working on his game on Monday morning, preparing for his first U.S. Open. Its almost hard to believe that the player ranked 32nd in the world, who has earned more than $2 million this year, dazzled at last years Presidents Cup and has 16 top-10 finishes in the last three years, is just now completing the career slam - in terms of playing them, that is. Sometimes we forget that as good as he is, hes still relatively young in terms of being at the elite level. His talent exceeds his experience at this point of his career, which isnt necessarily a bad thing. Still, he does know a good course when he sees one. Having toured around the back nine at the famed No. 2 course here at Pinehurst, DeLaet quickly pronounced it to be a favourite. "It automatically went into my top 10 of all time," said the lone Canadian entrant in the American championship this year. "Its a great test, its an awesome old-style golf course and its going to be a lot of fun." Fun? The U.S. Open? Yep, this is definitely his maiden voyage in this tournament. While he hasnt been playing it, DeLaet, of course, has been an avid viewer of the American championship, and he knows that unlike most of the past, oh, 50 or 60, U.S. Opens, this year there is no long, punishing rough lining the fairways. Instead, Pinehurst has been returned to its original design, thanks to Ben Crenshaw and Bill Coore, with scruffy waste areas full of wiregrass bushes on the borders of the short grass. Its something that DeLaet says could prove to be a bit of a lottery for those who stray from the fairway. "This is my first U.S. Open but Ive watched in on TV for years," he said, "and its always been the deep rough and this year there is no rough at all. But the waste area or whatever you call it, sometimes you can get in there and have a pretty clear shot and get a lot of club on it and you can get in there and have a lot of bad breaks as well." DeLaet believes that hitting it into the scruffy section - officially, native areas - will give you about a 50 per cent chance of having a good lie. You might be able to play the shot like a fairway bunker or you might end up behind a tuft of grass that will mean chipping out sideways. The frustration levels could rise significantly if a player gets enough of the bad lies. DeLaet knows that too will be a big part of surviving the week, keeping his patience at an even level and trying to survive the mental test that is a big part of this event. Along with the predicted high temperatures, it will be a tough task for any player to keep their minds focused at all times. While DeLaet is working on his mental side, his physical appears to be in order. He was forced to miss the Memorial two weeks ago with a sore leg, something he now feels is on the mend. "I just kind of had a strained tendon on the outside of my right foot," he stated. "It wasnt extremely painful or anything like that but I just knew if I kept playing - and walking on uneven slopes is the worst for it. And Memorial unfortunately is up and down. I mean thats one of my favourite golf courses and I love that tournament and I have good vibes going in there. It killed me to miss that tournament but I knew for the rest of the year I had to be smart and I just didnt make it worse and over the last couple of weeks with some rest, it has gotten a lot better." While this has been a good year for the Saskatchewan native, he has been in search of more consistency on the greens. In the second round of the Players, he switched to a left-hand-low putting grip that he was practicing with on Monday, under the watchful eye of short game coach Gabriel Hjertstedt. Its just one more little thing he hopes will unlock the mystery that is putting. DeLaet is also hoping that he can bring his game around in a big event. While hes posted six top-10s this year, including consecutive runner-up finishes at Torrey Pines and Phoenix, he missed the cut in both the Masters and the Players. Its understandable as he adjusts to tougher set-ups and deeper fields, but this is where he wants to perform, this is where he wants to be contending.

PETERSBURG, Fla. Air Jordan Retro 13 Cheap .com) - The Utah Jazz look to put an end to their five-game losing streak when the Denver Nuggets visit Salt Lake City Monday night. Air Jordan 13 Sale Canada . -- Terrelle Pryor took the opening snap of the game, put the ball in Darren McFaddens belly and saw LaMarr Woodley crash down.Midterm may still make the Investec Derby line-up despite being found to have sustained a sore hamstring when a disappointing favourite for the Dante Stakes at York last week. The choicely-bred colt, impressive in his previous success at Sandown, had gone into the Dante as the ante-post favourite for the Derby, but failed to fire and came home fifth under Pat Smullen.At first, nothing came to light to explain Midterms performance, but further veterinary examination identified a problem, revealed on Monday night by Lord Grimthorpe, racing manager to the colts owner Prince Khalid Abdullah. He was sore in a hamstring behind. Its not insurmountable, but at least it gives us some explanation as to what happened, he said.We have to wait quite a few days now. Weve got to be sure and from that point of view, its got to be up until the last minute. Hes not a great worker, so its going to be hard to gauge how he is going, but he will certainly have to be sound before he even starts to work again.If were lucky, aand he comes right, he can do enough work to satisfy the trainer that he can go.dddddddddddd If he doesnt, then theres the King Edward VII to fall back on.Grimthopre admitted to taking some relief at having identified an issue that might explain such a lacklustre performance behind Wings Of Desire in the Dante.It was a bit mystifying as we were very hopeful of a big run, so to find a hamstring... in the whole scale of things it could have been a lot worse, he said.Midterms trainer Sir Michael Stoute confirmed that he was still to rule Midterm out of the Epsom reckoning, while the stable could yet be double-handed in the race with Newbury maiden winner Ulysses, whose dam Light Shift won the Oaks, also still in contention.I want to give him more time to see how he comes out of that race and then make a decision, but its a possibility, he said.
