BATA, Equatorial Guinea - Stadiums will be packed for the remaining games at the African Cup of Nations, even if the home team is knocked out, the Confederation of African Football promised on Friday.CAF spokesman Junior Binyam said he had no doubt the crowds would be good for the quarterfinals, semifinals, and final of the continental championship, which has struggled with attendances at previous editions.Even if the host country is not part of the competition, we will have stadiums full (and) packed, Binyam said. We dont have any fear as far as that aspect is concerned.CAFs guarantee comes with it buoyed by generally good crowds so far, although the first game day at the main Bata Stadium not involving Equatorial Guineas team had just a tiny group of fans for a group match involving Tunisia and Congo this week.Binyam called that a single example of poor attendance in the 24 matches to date.Bata Stadium is infamous for a crowd of around 200 people that turned up for an African Cup quarterfinal in 2012, when Equatorial Guinea co-hosted the tournament with Gabon.This year, CAF has profited off the desire of home fans to watch their team play at the 35,000-seat Bata Stadium, and the fact that the two venues in the eastern cities of Mongomo and Ebebiyin were fairly small, both with capacities of less than 10,000 which made them easier to fill.Changes to the quarterfinal schedule are also expected to help the crowd figures.The quarterfinals were moved away from Ebebiyin and Mongomo because of wear and tear on those newly laid fields, CAF said, and the four quarters will now be played as doubleheaders at Bata Stadium and Malabo Stadium on Saturday and Sunday respectively. That means fans need only to buy one ticket to watch two games.At the same briefing, Equatorial Guineas sports minister said his country had spent around $15 million getting those stadiums in remote Ebebiyin and Mongomo ready for the tournament in just two months, after it received the hosting rights at the last minute in place of Morocco.Francisco Pascual Obama Asue, who is also head of the local organizing committee, said he couldnt give a final figure on how much the small, oil-rich nation would spend in total on organizing the championship until it was over.He also defended the arrests of three men for protesting against the government spending on the African Cup when half the population has no access to clean water. Equatorial Guineas oil riches benefit an elite few, and the regime is accused of stifling opposition.We cannot allow any disorder, the minister said.

Haas and Jacobsen played nine holes of alternate shot and nine of better ball at Top of the Rock, the first par-3 course used in a PGA Tour-sanctioned event, after opening with a better-ball 62 on Friday on the regulation Buffalo Ridge layout. They had a 15-under 110 total. "Weve known each other since college days," Haas said. "And if you know Peter, youre a friend of Peters. Weve played on Ryder Cup teams before and just know each other. Our wives know each other." They were 1 under in the alternate-shot nine. "We talked about it walking down the first hole, the morning format, the alternate shot," Jacobsen said. "I turned to Jay and said, Im nervous. I havent been this nervous in a long time. It takes us back to Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup days when the alternate shot is the most difficult. You feel like youre on an island. Youre playing for yourself and also youre playing for your partner, so you dont want to leave your partner in a bad position." Jeff Sluman and Fred Funk were second after a 50 on the par-3 course, the site of the final round Sunday. "I think both of us not only embrace the golf course and the concept of a par 3, but we embrace the format change from last year," said Sluman, the winner last year with Brad Faxon in Savannah, Georgia. "ts fun, its exciting, its vibrant and were jazzed to be here."

"It was very difficult starting out where you had alternate shots," Fleisher said. "I thought it would have been a lot easier the other way around if we got a little bit of feel of the golf course. Larrys a great partner, Im kind of trying to tag along this week." Craig Stadler and Kirk Triplett were third in the Champions Division, shooting a 64 at Buffalo Ridge. The teams of Tom Watson-Andy North and Tom Pernice Jr.-Bob Tway were tied for fourth at 11 under after rounds on the regulation course. Watson and North had a 65, and Pernice and Tway shot 64. "Who knows what the weathers going to be tomorrow," North said. "Were fortunate to get done today, but man, the wind blew. Some of those holes played so hard. When youre hitting woods into these par 3s, theyre pretty difficult. Its going to be fun to get over there." Pernice won the Principal Charity Classic last week in Iowa for his third senior title. In the Legends Division, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player had a 66 at Buffalo Ridge to move into a tie for third with Butch Baird and Al Geiberger at 4 under. Baird and Geiberger had a 54 on the par-3 course. "Id say Gary played very well," Nicklaus said. "I was all right the front nine. It was all Gary the back nine, thank goodness, because I wasnt very good. Ill have to say that Gary made some putts when he needed to make some putts and I couldnt make the putts when I needed to make the putts. But we ham and egged it reasonably well throughout the round." ' ' '
