导出博客文章ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. -- The largest PGA Tour playoff of the year at the RSM
Classic didnt finish before darkness Sunday, and it wont include Billy Horschel
when it resumes.Horschel, the highest-ranked player in the five-man playoff at
Sea Island, burned the edge of the cup with his birdie putt at No. 18 on the
first playoff hole. Stepping over a routine tap-in from 2 feet, he blocked it to
the right and was eliminated.Mackenzie Hughes, the Canadian trying to become the
first rookie to go wire-to-wire in 20 years, had a 10-foot birdie putt on No. 18
on the second extra hole and it turned away to the left. It already was plenty
dark, and there was no chance to play another hole.Hughes, Blayne Barber, Camilo
Villegas and Henrik Norlander were to return at 8 a.m. on Monday to finish the
final PGA Tour event of the year.So much is at stake for all of them, starting
with a trip to the Masters.Norlander and Villegas dont have full status on the
PGA Tour this year -- Norlander received a sponsors exemption -- and a victory
would take care of that. Hughes began his rookie season just six weeks ago and
has a honeymoon planned in the offseason. Barber is going for his first PGA Tour
victory.Hughes narrowly missed birdie chances on the 15th and 16th holes, but
holed a 5-foot par putt on the 18th in regulation for a 1-under 69 to join the
playoff.Norlander, who closed with a 65, stuffed a 9-iron into 3 feet on the
18th in regulation and was the first to reach 17-under 265. Barber ran off
back-to-back birdies on the back nine, and he had a 12-foot birdie attempt at
the 18th that he missed on the low side. He shot a 66.Villegas played the best
coming down the stretch. Two shots behind with three to play, the Colombian hit
an aggressive drive on the par-4 16th that set up wedge for a short birdie, then
holed an 18-foot birdie putt from the fringe on the par-3 17th to tie for the
lead. He made a 6-foot par on 18 for a 68.CME GROUP TOUR CHAMPIONSHIPNAPLES,

Championship- the LPGA Tours player of the year award, the money title and the

meltdown in the California desert and turned around with her winning three
consecutive starts in May, Jutanugarn held off Lydia Ko for all three of those

scoring title by the slimmest of margins, making her the first player since

Vare.Charley Hull won the tournament for her first LPGA Tour title. The English
player shot 66-66 in a bogey-free weekend to finish at 19-under 269.So Yeon Ryu

sporting and cultural glance at Stage 7 of the Tour de France on Friday:Region:
The stage began in LIsle-Jourdain in the Gers region and followed a
162.5-kilometer (101-mile) route to Lac de Payolle in the Hautes
Pyrenees.Aperitif: Hypocras, a medieval recipe mixing wine, cinnamon, ginger,
sugar and nutmeg.Baguette and butter: British rider Steve Cummings won the
stage, which came to a bizarre end when an inflatable arch marking the final
kilometer collapsed. Adam Yates, a British rider with the Orica team, was hit by
the arch and reached the finish with a bloodied chin. Greg Van Avermaet of
Belgium, who was in a breakaway with Cummings, held on to the yellow jersey he
claimed two days earlier. Overall favorites Chris Froome and Nairo Quintana
finished in the main pack during the first stage in the Pyrenees.Plat du jour: A
plate of Noir de Bigorre ham. Its one of the finest and softest cured hams in
the world, made from black pigs fed with grass, cereals and acorns. Another
local specialty is garbure, a mountain soup made with cabbage and chunks of
ham.Culture: The Pyrenees are part of Tour de France lore but the most popular
sport in the Midi-Pyrenees region is rugby, which is like a religion in many
villages. The most-titled club in France, Stade Toulousain, has won a record 19
French Championship titles plus foour European Cups.ddddddddddddVin du jour:
Jurancon Sec is a dry white wine produced in the foothills of the Pyrenees with
Gros Manseng and Petit Manseng grapes grown on mountain slopes then carefully
hand-picked by local winemakers. Its a richly-flavored wine with floral aromas
and a well-balanced acidity.Stat of the Day: 1. The complete peloton of 198
riders started the stage. It was the first time in 103 editions of the Tour de
France that the entire bunch was still racing this late.Quote of the Day: I had
no time to react. Its a good thing it was just me on my own. It could have been
a lot worse with the peloton sprinting at 70 kph (45 mph). Adam Yates, after
getting hit by an inflatable arch.Dessert: The spit cake, or gateau a la broche,
has been baked in southwestern France for centuries in wood burning ovens. The
traditional recipe with flour, eggs, butter, sugar, salt, rum and vanilla is
quite simple but requires patience as the dough needs to be dribbled very slowly
over the spit.Next order: Stage 8 on Saturday is a much more challenging
184-kilometer (114-mile) leg from Pau to Bagneres-de-Luchon featuring four
serious climbs, beginning with the Col du Tourmalet, which is so difficult its
labeled beyond classification. ' ' '
