Its that time again! You have questions, I have answers.With so little time between majors, the PGA Tour pros are in Canada while Im home in Florida readjusting to the heat.As usual, the questions this week were all over the map, which I love. I was a bit surprised there were no questions about the Tiger announcement (gone for the season) or about the world No. 1 and No. 2 playing three tournaments in a row.I guess that shows just how far weve come on tour ... enjoy!Collins: I sure hope so. I too loved seeing the women play the same course as the men. Two years ago the KPMG Womens PGA Championship was played on a course that used to be in the PGA Tours rotation (Westchester Country Club) and they played exceptionally well. Doubt well ever see the women get to play a tournament at Augusta National, but we can hope and ask, right? The biggest challenge is time. Pebble Beach would lose a lot of money being closed for two events a year, but where theres a will...Collins: Colin Montgomerie was talking about the par-3 eighth hole at Royal Troon when he said, Theres never been a decent par-3 over 200 yards, in my opinion, built. Ive never heard anyone, pro golfer or caddie, say theres a great par-3 thats over 200 yards. There may be one weve never seen or heard of, but until I do, Im going to agree with Monty. All the best par-3s, the ones that get praised, are under 200 yards, with most being under 170. For a normal PGA Tour or European Tour pro on a windless 70-degree day, thats an 8-iron!Collins: I got crushed in the comments of our Monday Four-Ball after saying I wanted to take some real time to think about it before deciding where it ranks in my books. Its been almost a week now. Every time I think about when winner Henrik Stenson made the 51-foot birdie putt on the 15th hole Sunday, I still get goose bumps because of the explosive gasp in the media tent. Id say that is the greatest Sunday of The Open Ive ever been witness to in my short life/career. I didnt see the 1977 Duel in the Sun so I cant compare it to that. I know everyone could feel we were witnessing something special on the back nine Sunday, and I wish more people could have felt it on the property.Collins: Its not comparing apples to apples. Lydia Ko is an amazing golfer. The LPGA Tour plays on courses that are set up much differently than PGA Tour courses. To ask if her game is as good as the top men would be impossible to determine. Would Jordan Spieth be as good a putter on LPGA Tour speed greens as Inbee Park at her best? Vice versa? I do think great golfers are great in most circumstances and gender doesnt really matter when all things are equal.Gus Williams Jersey . PAUL, Minn. Seattle Supersonics Gear . Klitschkos management company says the bout will be the Ukrainian fighters 25th world championship fight. The 1.83-meter (6-foot) Leapai defeated the previously unbeaten Denis Boytsov in November to become the WBOs mandatory challenger. https://www.supersonicsjerseys.com/640s-kevin-durant-jersey-supersonics.html . Then the Pacers gave Oladipo and his Orlando teammates the cold shoulder. Paul Georges buzzer-beating 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter spurred a 21-4 run, finally sending Indiana past the Magic 97-87 in a tougher-than-expected opening night matchup. Tom LaGarde Jersey . Wilson hit Schenn from behind during Tuesday nights game in Philadelphia, earning a five-minute major for charging and a game misconduct. He has a phone hearing with the department of player safety, which limits any potential suspension to five or fewer games. Al Wood Jersey . Jay Feely kicked a 41-yard field goal in overtime, and the Cardinals edged the Tennessee Titans 37-34 in overtime after blowing a 17-point lead late in the fourth quarter.David Saker has been named as Australias new full-time assistant coach, taking over the role vacated by Craig McDermott earlier this year. Saker, who served as Englands bowling coach from 2010 to 2015, is also expected to step in as Australias acting head coach at some point next year to give Darren Lehmann a break, as occurred when Justin Langer stood in during the recent tri-series in the Caribbean.Sakers appointment means Victoria will now be searching for a new head coach, after he took Victoria to the Sheffield Shield title in 2015-16, his only season in the role. South African great Allan Donald is acting as Australias bowling coach during the tour of Sri Lanka, which has just begun, and Saker will take over in time for the one-day tour of South Africa in September-October.Davids experience working around the world with international teams will be invaluable, especially as we work toward the upcoming Indian Test series and the Ashes, Lehmann said. His technical expertise in all facets of the game is a real bonus and very important when working with the young group we have.We spoke with a lot of people about this role and really took our time deciding what direction we wanted to go. Davids appointment gives us good clarity in our senior coaching group. What impressed me most about David was his vision of where he is heading as a coach and also where he wants to take our young group of bowlers and players.He and I have always had robust discussions about the good of Australian cricket, he is passionate and I appreciate that. I love his attitude and he will bring great energy to our group.Those robust discussions might have taken place behind closed doors, but spilled into the public arena on a couple of occasions last year. In October, Saker said he believed Victoria fast bowler James Pattinson was not yet ready for a return to Test cricket, which prompted Lehmann to suggest that: David Saker should concentrate on coaching Victoria and leave us to pick the side for Australia.Later in the summer, Saker said during a radio interview that it was ridiculous that the selectors had chosen Nathhan Coulter-Nile in the squad for the Hobart Test against West Indies, when he had not played a first-class match since the previous season.dddddddddddd But now, Saker will find himself working within the Australian camp.David has had proven success with Victoria in the short time he has held the role, as well as success on the international stage, and that was a key part of the recruitment process, Pat Howard, the Cricket Australia general manager of team performance, said.Its a testament to the success of our coaching pathway program in Australia, that Justin Langer and David have been elevated from within the system to senior roles in the Australian cricket team. The fact that David has been a head coach previously, also gives us an option should Darren be absent or need a break from touring. We anticipate he will lead the Australian team at some stage during 2017.Saker, 50, played 72 first-class matches for Tasmania and Victoria during the 1990s and 2000s, taking 247 wickets at 30.10. As Englands bowling coach, he was part of one of the countrys most successful eras, during which they won their first Ashes series in Australia for 24 years, and collected the World T20 trophy in 2010.The opportunity to work with Australias best cricketers and coaches is one that I simply couldnt pass up and I am incredibly excited, Saker said. With two day-night Tests against South Africa and Pakistan this summer, its a great time to enter the Australian set-up.Having reflected on the role and spoken to my family, I feel that it is the next logical career step for me and that I can add more value at the national level, particularly next year with the ICC Champions Trophy in the UK and when England tour for the 2017-18 Ashes.Ive thoroughly enjoyed the past year with the Bushrangers and will miss the squad, especially as we managed to retain the Sheffield Shield. I have no doubt Ill still be regular contact with many of the players Ive coached when they play at the national level. ' ' '
