导出博客文章The fall portion of the 2016-17 PGA Tour concludes this weekend with the RSM
Classic at Sea Island Resort in St. Simons Island, Ga.And although more than 25
fully exempt PGA Tour players in the field either live nearby or consider the
Sea Island Golf Performance Center as their base, its anything but a certainty
that the title will be won by a hometown favorite.The event, which was founded
in 2010 and formerly called the McGladrey Classic, is famously hosted by PGA
Tour player Davis Love III, one of many Tour players among the areas
residents.Love is faced with myriad of responsibilities and challenges before
and during tournament week. On top of his tournament host duties, Love also
competes in the event and said that when its time to tee it up he simply wants
to go play.Its worth all the hard work to get to do what I go do, Love III said.
I want to continue to see how good I can get. World No. 1 is probably not
realistic at (52) years old, but staying out on the PGA Tour until you are 60
and trying to win more golf tournaments is a fun goal.Three of the previous four
champions of this event claimed their first title here, including Kevin Kisner,
who won by six shots last year while setting 54- and 72-hole scoring
records.Kisner validated a year of near misses in with a dominating victory,
shooting 12-under par on the weekend to cruise to the win over distant runner-up
Kevin Chappell.Kisners six-stroke victory in 2015 is the largest in tournament
history. Until 2015, all five previous editions in the RSMs short history had
been decided by no more than one shot.It was one of those weeks when everything
was going my way, and you have to remember those because they dont happen very
often, Kisner said.Kisner temporarily relocated to St. Simons Island while his
Aiken, S.C., house was being renovated.Two of the tournaments six champions have
been part-timers -- Kisner and Chris Kirk (2014). But with all the big names
that call St. Simons Island home, the RSM Classic still is looking for its first
true hometown winner.The closest a fulltime resident has come was Loves tie for
fourth in 2012.Eleven players in the field seeking their first win have at least
one runner-up finish since the beginning of the 2015-16 season.Other Golden
Isles residents in the field this week are Matt Kuchar, Zach Johnson, Harris
English, Brian Harman, Hudson Swafford, Patton Kizzire, Bobby Wyatt and Trey
Mullinax.The tournament usually has a strong field because of its place on the
schedule right before the holidays, the challenging courses at the resort and
the measuring stick it provides players before many go on an extended break.Ten
players who are ranked inside the top 30 in the FedExCup standings are in the
156-player field that will battle for the $5.7 million purse, $1.026 million of
which goes to the winner.The highest ranked-players in the field in the Official
World Golf Rankings are Kuchar (No. 20), Brandt Snedeker (26), Chappell (28),
Jim Furyk (34), Johnson (35), Bill Haas (38) and Kisner (41).Sea Islands
7,005-yard, par-70 Seaside course will be the feature track and the site of play
for the remaining field on Saturday and Sunday.Once again, entrants also will
play one of the first two rounds at the revamped Plantation course.Unlike
Harbour Town to the north, Sea Island was fortunate to suffer minimal damage
from Hurricane Matthew. The Seaside Course withstood Mother Nature better than
the Plantation and Tour officials said damage set them back only about a week in
preparation.The RSM Classic is the seventh event in the PGA Tours wraparound
schedule that bridges two years with 47 official events.Over the span of 43
weeks, players vie to become the FedExCup Champion. After a break, the season
will resume in January with the traditional swing through Hawaii before moving
to the West Coast.

Theres no telling how these wacky World Series games will end. EVIAN-LES-BAINS,
France -- Germany coach Joachim Loew is drawing on the experience of routing
World Cup host Brazil 7-1 two years ago as he prepares for Thursdays European
Championship semifinal against France.Germany went on to win the 2014 World Cup
after embarrassing Brazil in the semifinal in Belo Horizonte and Loew is clearly
relishing the adversity of facing another host nation bidding to reach the
final.Super, when its like this. No really, its a motivation, Loew said from his
teams tournament base on Monday. In Brazil, I think it was exactly the same for
the semifinal. The whole land of 200 million was standing behind this team. But
we came through fine and now well come through fine.Expectations in France are
surging after the side impressed in defeating Iceland 5-2 on Sunday to reach the
semifinal.Loew said the home side will have fanatical support behind them in
Marseille and that the team will be high on confidence after growing into the
tournament by scoring decisive goals late in games.Two teams with outstanding
individuals are playing, teams with a clear mindset, said Loew, who had
identified France as one of the main favorites before the tournament.They are
different from the Italians, not quite so defensive. They have strong players
going forward, (Paul) Pogba from midfield, (Blaise) Matuidi. So its a game of
two teams at eye-level. Its super that there are such games. I love these
knockout games against such strong opponents.Of Frances three major titles, two
were won on home soil -- the European Championship in 1984 and World Cup in
1998. France followed up by winning Euro 2000 as world champion, a feat Germany
is now trying to match despite the absence of several key players for Thursdays
match.Midfielder Sami Khedira is out with a left groin injury and fellow
midfielder Bastiaan Schweinsteiger is doubtful after taking a knock to his right
knee in Saturdays quarterfinal win over Italy.ddddddddddddThat 6-5 win on
penalties came at a cost for Loews side. Striker Mario Gomez was ruled out for
the rest of the tournament after tearing a muscle in his right thigh, while
defender Mats Hummels was booked and will be suspended against France.The
unfortunate Gomez, who missed the World Cup win through injury-induced poor
form, celebrates his 31st birthday on the day of the final.Borussia Dortmunds
Julian Weigl or Liverpools Emre Can could step in if Schweinsteiger, whose
season was disrupted by two serious injuries to the same knee, doesnt recover in
time.Well have to find solutions, said Loew, who added that the win over Italy
had taken a physical and mental toll on his side.Mario Goetze could return for
Gomez, or Thomas Mueller could move inside to lead the line despite his puzzling
failure to score in 10 games over two European Championships. Mueller even
missed a penalty in the shootout against Italy.Loew said he wasnt worried about
the forward who contributed nine of Germanys 24 goals in qualifying.The penalty
would have done him good, but I know Thomas for a long time and he doesnt let
such things get to him. He says the important thing is that the team wins and he
runs a huge amount for the team. Ive the feeling that hell score when it really
matters.Loew has helped Germany to reach six consecutive semifinals at major
tournaments. Now the task is to reach a second successive final.We have respect
for the French, but we know what we have to do, regardless of our personnel
issues. Im looking forward to the game like I was against Italy, Loew said. ' '
