WENGEN, Switzerland - Felix Neureuther took advantage of a rare mistake by Marcel Hirscher of Austria to win a World Cup slalom on Saturday and retake the discipline standings lead from his great rival.Neureuther seized his chance after Hirscher, the world champion from Austria, skied out of a slalom event for the first time in three seasons.Germanys Neureuther rose from fifth after the first run by racing down a tricky slope in steadily falling snow to beat Stefano Gross of Italy by 0.20 seconds.Its a special moment for me, said Neureuther, who also won this race two years ago. This classic hill is amazing.Olympic bronze medallist Henrik Kristoffersen of Norway was third, trailing 0.44 behind Neureuthers combined time of 1 minute, 46.93 seconds.In the finish area, Neureuther was greeted by Kristoffersen kneeling to bow in a show of respect before the two racers hugged.Felixs second run was unbelievable, Kristoffersen said. Its cool to see someone ski that fast. It makes me go on a higher level, too.Hirscher went out early in the morning run and last failed to reach a slalom finish line in March 2012 at Schladming, Austria. The three-time defending overall World Cup champion missed the chance to extend his big lead in those standings over Kjetil Jansrud of Norway, who does not race slalom.Neureuther earned 100 points for his 11th career World Cup win, his second this season, and leads Hirscher by 44 in the slalom standings. He also climbed to third overall.Neureuther has had top-3 finishes in five of six slaloms this season in another duel with Hirscher, who clinched the crystal globe trophy on the final day of last season.The 30-year-old Germans only blip was failing to finish last Sunday at nearby Adelboden where Gross got his first career win.Hirschers consistent run of slalom results ended when he straddled a gate.I would rather be fast and go out than be in the fifth or sixth position with a big gap between the leader and yourself, said Hirscher. It sucks that I struggled but it was definitely not easy.First-run leader Mattias Hargin of Sweden finished sixth, 0.96 behind Neureuther.Both American racers who qualified for a second run dropped in the rankings.David Chodounsky went from 13th to finish 18th, trailing by 2.79. Ted Ligety fell to 27th from 24th, and was 3.65 behind his good friend Neureuther.Im just upset with myself, said Chodounsky, from Crested Butte, Colorado. I didnt quite let it go as much as I could have. That was just on me.The race was switched from its usual Sunday slot, allowing the classic Lauberhorn downhill to be pushed back a day when better weather is forecast. Zapatillas Yeezy Spain . The third-ranked Buckeyes were down eight points to Notre Dame with less than 2 minutes to play and their offence was nowhere to be found. Zapatillas Yeezy Baratas Outlet . Webb birdied the 18th hole to take the outright lead, then watched as Choi, who shot a course-record 62 on Saturday to take a share of the third-round lead, pushed a 10-foot putt wide of the hole at 18 to miss the chance for a playoff. https://www.zapatillasbaratasspain.es/ai...tlet-d1388.html. "Last year didnt go the way we wanted it to, but we need to look at what went well and what didnt go so well. Hopefully this year we will be better," Brendan Gallagher said after practice. This year, the Canadiens have a little more depth to work with by adding players like Daniel Briere, Dale Weise, Mike Weaver, Douglas Murray and arguably, the biggest addition to this playoff roster, Thomas Vanek, who the Canadiens were able to land at the trade deadline.

Zapatillas Baratas Hombre . Its not intended to be some magical formula and doesnt apply any context, like, for example, taking injuries into account. This remedial statistical method has gone 9-5 in picks through the first three rounds.The idea that the PGA Tour calendar is too full depends on how you look at the calendar.In this new world of the wraparound season, it seems as though golf never ends. There was a three-week break between the end of one season (Tour Championship) and the start of another (Frys.com Open). And then the PGA Tour takes a seven-week break before resuming the new season in Kapalua.But is that much different from 10 years ago?The PGA Tour had 44 consecutive weeks of golf in 2004 from Jan. 8 at Kapalua until Nov. 7 at the Tour Championship. That schedule included three tournaments held the same week as World Golf Championships, the B.C. Open opposite the British Open and the Texas Open the same week as the Ryder Cup.The tour had 43 weeks of golf in 2014, with the three-week break built around the Ryder Cup in the early fall and the final tournament Nov. 16 in Mexico. And there were only three opposite-field events the same week as three WGCs (Doral, Firestone, Shanghai).Is the new fall start any different from the old fall finish? Now it starts in California and goes to Las Vegas, Sea Island, two in Asia, one in Mississippi and Mexico. Ten years ago, the lineup after the majors included Hartford, Canada, Tampa and now-defunct tournaments at Disney and 84 Lumber. There also was a WGC thrown in the mix.Go back even further. Twenty years ago, the PGA Tour schedule featured 43 consecutive weeks of tournaments. That was right about the time the WGCs were being discussed, and a decade before the FedEx Cup was even an idea.The biggest change might be the golf that isnt being played.Back in 1994 when the Tour Championship ended (at Olympic Club — those were the days) on Oct. 30, there were six tournaments as part of the silly season. That included the Lincoln-Mercury at Kapalua, the Shark Shootout, Skins Game, JC Penney Mixed-Team Classic and the Diners Club Matches.Either way, there was never a shortage of golf.

He is No. 51 in the world, though he will go to No. 50 ahead of Kevin Streelman in the final ranking of thee year.ddddddddddddommy Fleetwood has eight top-15 finishes in his last 13 events, including a fourth-place finish in Thailand.
