UPPER ARLINGTON, Ohio -- Vijay Singh rebounded from a bad shot on the 17th to birdie the final hole Thursday and take a two-stroke lead after the first round of the U.S. Senior Open.Still playing full-time on the PGA Tour at age 53, the big Fijian shot a 4-under 66 on a hot and humid afternoon at Scioto Country Club, the suburban Columbus course where Jack Nicklaus learned to play.Singh pushed his tee shot right and bogeyed the par-3 17th. On the par-4 18th, he hit his second shot to 4 feet. The three-time major champion hit 13 of 14 fairways and 16 of 18 greens.Im driving the ball well, said Singh, coming off a tie for 56th on Sunday in Connecticut in the PGA Tours Travelers Championship. Im hitting my irons good. Playing the regular tour, Ive been playing pretty decent out there too. I came here (and) obviously expected to play well, and I just played well today.Miguel Angel Jimenez, Jeff Gallagher, Michael Allen, Gene Sauers and Glen Day shot 68.The weather is good. Its perfect. Its hot, humid, Jimenez said. This heat is going to drain a lot from you and probably (make things) more difficult, not because the course is more difficult, but the situation for the players that will be there at the end of the weekend.Singh is winless in nine career starts on the 50-and-over tourEvery time I tee it up (in senior events), if I dont win, Im really disappointed, Singh said. So I put a lot more pressure on myself, and thats not very good. I force myself to play well over here instead of just playing. So my attitude this week is just go and play and see what happens.Singh finished second this year in the PGA Tours Quicken Loans National in June, but missed the cut at the British Open and the PGA Championship. He said the dry, hard course at Scioto was a tough test.It was really firm, Singh said. Couldnt stop even a sand wedge. Nothing was spinning. If you missed a green, it was very difficult to get up and down.The hot, dry conditions arent supposed to last, with rain forecast Friday and Saturday.Defending champion Jeff Maggert had a 70. He won last year at Del Paso in California.The course is playing great, very difficult, Maggert said. Just every hole is demanding. You got to keep the ball on the fairway and pay attention to what youre doing around the greens, make sure youre giving yourself some opportunities to putt for birdies. Missing the greens here can really hurt you pretty bad too. Its a ball strikers course, and Im hitting the ball well. So hopefully, the putter will cooperate over the next three days, and I can finish it off with a good tournament.John Daly also shot 70.I actually hit the ball decent today, Daly said. I made a few putts, but nothing special. It was cool to play pretty much 16 holes bogey-free. I made a few 5- and 6-footers for pars as well, which helped. I had not been putting very good.Bernhard Langer opened with a 73. Yeezy 700 V2 Geode Italia . Patrice Bergeron and Daniel Paille scored 20 seconds apart a few minutes after Stamkos was taken off the ice on a stretcher with a broken right leg, and the Bruins beat the Lightning 3-0 on Monday afternoon. Yeezy 350 Scontate . On Saturday night, the normally free throw-challenged centre did just that. Howard scored 18 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, including 13 of 19 free throws in a 2 1/2-minute stretch, and the Houston Rockets beat the Denver Nuggets 122-111. http://www.yeezy350v2italia.it/yeezy-boost-700-offerte.html . Scott won the Australian PGA last week in his first event in Australia since winning the U.S. Masters in April.

LOS ANGELES --?Rich Hill says he is starting for the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday in the deciding Game 5 of the National League Division Series at Washington.The Dodgers would not confirm the decision.The Dodgers and Washington Nationals have put on an entertaining battle on the baseball field in the first four games of the NLDS. Their off-field battle has been just as entertaining.From holding out on naming their starters, to the move by Nationals manager Dusty Baker to suggest that Clayton Kershaw balks on his move to first base, there has been no shortage of passive-aggressive jabs taken back and forth.Perhaps Hill did not get the message that the Dodgers were not done playing the game that the Nationals appeared to have started when they refused to reveal a Game 2 starter, only to then make it official with Baker saying the club knew all along.The Dodgers appeared to be down to left-handers, Hill and Julio Urias, for the start in the NLDS clincher. If Hill gets the nod, Urias could still be used out of the bullpen for multiple innings at the first sign of trouble.Whatever the Dodgers decide to do, it wont be easy up against Nationals ace MMax Scherzer.ddddddddddddYou know what, we didnt use Julio, so its going to be a collection of arms, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. You know, I think that we talked about Rich as an option, obviously. But so is Julio and how we want to strategize to win Game 5, were going to talk through it. But its nice now that we didnt have to go to Julio, so hes certainly an option.Weve got some guys in the pen that didnt pitch tonight, today. So weve got some good options.If Hill gets the start, as expected, he will be working on short rest for just the second time in his career. He did it once early in his career during the regular season with the Chicago Cubs. But he does have relief experience, so coming back early is not entirely foreign.Kershaw pitched on short rest Tuesday in a game the Dodgers won and said the key to accomplishing the task with success is wanting to be out there.It is a cliché saying, but this is why you play, Hill said. There is nothing to hold back. I know its short rest, but physically I feel great. ' ' '
