| MELBOURNE, Australia -- ??? Spains Rafa Cabrera-Bello was the only player to give thanks to the stiff south-westerly wind that buffeted the field in the World Cups opening round on Thursday.He threw back his head in a mix of relief and delight when a birdie attempt on the 18th green hovered on the right lip and then dropped into the cup to propel his team into the lead.Cabrera-Bello and teammate Jon Rahm had a 3-under 69 to edge one stroke ahead of France, China and the U.S. after the foursomes competition at Kingston Heath.It looked like I couldnt miss and then all of a sudden it could really miss and I dont know how it came back. It looked like it was going to miss right and something up there .... the wind helped, Cabrera-Bello said.That was the only positive comment on the cold wind that troubled the 56 players with club selection on approach shots to the quickening greens.The teams are hoping for calmer conditions for Fridays fourball second round that is more tournament-familiar than the first rounds alternate shot format.While U.S. pair Rickie Fowler and Jimmy Walker are away from home for Thanksgiving, winning the World Cup was firmly on their minds.We didnt come down here to play for second. That (win) would make the trip worthwhile, Fowler said.Walker dominated the American highlights package, nailing a 15-meter birdie putt on the fifth and then holing a bunker shot at the 13th that started a trio of back nine birdies.But the PGA champion praised Fowlers scrambling exploits as equally important to compile the 2-under 70.He putted really good, made some great clutch (par) putts that really saved us in the middle of the day, Walker said.It played tough, anything under par was a good score. It really was a battle.The Americans upstaged host team Australia as Adam Scott and Marc Leishman salvaged only one birdie, at the par-three 15th, from a tardy round to be back in the pack after a 74.But Leishman reminded everyone that theyre only five shots off the pace, saying lets go out tomorrow and have a good one, eh, Scotty?Only six of the 28 teams managed to break par around the 6,503-meter (7,111-yard) course, with Frances Victor Dubuisson and Romain Langasque posting what seemed to be an unreachable 70 in the second group out in more benign morning conditions.We both played very well, Dubuisson said. The strategy from the tee was the key, we always kept the ball in the fairway. Im very happy with our score today because it was really tough.It was really relaxed on the course. We are very good friends and for us to play together here, its like a dream from back when we were a child.Langasque said they would use the same strategy in the four-ball competition, playing conservatively off the tee.I have a special shot that I can really use on this course. But this course is always tough even without wind, so it was a really good round, Langasque said.Chinas Wu Ashun couldnt stop smiling after draining a monster putt for birdie on the final hole to jump into a share of second place.Swede David Lingmerth reflected the relief of all competitors that the four-ball format permits them all to play like a regular tournament for the second round.You learn this course a little bit more every time you go out. Playing alternate shot though, its a little different than your regular tournaments and I have to say it was probably a good 10 years since I did it last time, Lingmerth said. Wyatt Teller Jersey . But the quarterback hopes to stay involved in football after officially calling it quits Tuesday. "Id love to look at those opportunities as they arise," Pierce said in an interview from his Winnipeg eatery. Womens Bills Jerseys . -- Gus Malzahn finally had his day in Fayetteville. http://www.cheapbillsjerseyschina.com/josh-allen-jersey/ . Collaros, 25, was solid last season, posting a 5-2 record as the starter while incumbent Ricky Ray was injured. Collaros also started Torontos 23-20 regular-season finale loss to Montreal — Ray didnt dress because the Argos had already clinched first in the East Division — but was one of three quarterbacks to play that day. Bills Jerseys Outlet . Ibaka equaled a career high with 20 rebounds, adding four blocked shots and 15 points as the Thunder smothered the Milwaukee Bucks offence in a 92-79 victory Saturday night. Cheap Bills Jerseys . But by the time the game started, the Toronto Raptors forward felt even worse. And, for three quarters, it showed as Gay shot a woeful three-for-13 from the field. TORONTO -- One by one, the Canadian players strolled into the media room at Air Canada Centre on Thursday afternoon for an off-day availability at the World Cup of Hockey.The teams semifinal opponent had yet to be decided so questions and answers were broad in nature. There was talk about the process, doing the little things right, and sticking to what has worked in three straight round-robin victories.The Canadians have been playing so well, it really seems as if it is up to the opposition -- it ended up being Russia in the semifinals -- to figure out a way to beat them rather than the opposite.That went unsaid Thursday, but the numbers speak for themselves.Canada (3-0-0) is the only team with a perfect record. It has allowed just three goals overall, controlled the play for extended stretches and is averaging almost five goals and over 43 shots a game.The Russians were in control of their own destiny entering play against Finland on Thursday. A 3-0 victory assured them of second place in Group B and eliminated North America, the speedy squad of players age 23-and-under from Canada and the United States.There are several reasons why the reigning Olympic and World Cup champions are favored to win again. Canadas goaltending has been strong, the team rolls four strong lines and the defense is tight.The Russians, meanwhile, have a solid netminder in Sergei Bobrovsky and are anchored up front by forwards Alex Ovechkin and Evgeni Malkin. There will be no shortage of motivation on Saturday night for a team eager to eliminate Canada on home ice.The opportunity is huge, Ovechkin said. They have a pretty good team with solid players. We just have to match it.The Canada-Russia semifinal offers a renewal of a classic hockkey rivalry, though fans will likely be disappointed they wont get to see the Canadians take on the highly skilled young guns on North America.ddddddddddddIt made no difference to Team Canada.Were more focused on playing our game, our system, Canadian forward Brad Marchand said. You might have to tweak a couple things here and there but for the most part, were more concerned about how we play. Our style, how our effort is. Just working hard and normally when you do that, good things can happen.Head coach Mike Babcock said his lineup will be announced after practice Friday. Ryan Getzlaf, Shea Weber and Carey Price are good bets to return after getting a rest Wednesday night in a 4-1 win over Team Europe.Canadas offensive depth has been on display throughout the tournament.The top line of captain Sidney Crosby, Marchand and Patrice Bergeron shone in a 6-0 rout of the Czech Republic last Saturday. The fourth line of Joe Thornton, Matt Duchene and Ryan OReilly was strong in a 4-2 win over the United States a few days later.Assistant captain Jonathan Toews took a turn in the spotlight with a three-point night against Team Europe. The offense has been in top form even though star forwards Steven Stamkos, John Tavares and Getzlaf are still looking for their first goals of the tournament.Russia finished round-robin play with a 2-1 record, scoring eight goals while giving up five against.Its going to be a great, great challenge and we accept it, Russian forward Evgeny Kuznetsov said.Team Europe will play Sweden in the other semifinal Sunday. The best-of-three final series begins Tuesday night.
