TROON, Scotland -- Watch out America: Fronting the European fightback at the British Open is a player who knows how to get the job done at a major championship.Seeking the third leg of the career Grand Slam, former No. 1 Martin Kaymer broke up the U.S. hegemony atop the leaderboard at Royal Troon by shooting a bogey-free round of 5-under 66 on Thursday.The Germans lowest round at a British Open by two shots left him tied for second with Patrick Reed, three shots behind Phil Mickelson.It also reminded the golfing world that he is no spent force.Its been more than two years since Kaymers eight-shot, wire-to-wire victory at the U.S. Open at Pinehurst. It was a clinic in front-running, a return to the level that helped him win the U.S. PGA Championship in 2010 and be the worlds No. 1 player for six weeks in 2011.He hasnt won since, though, and is back playing regularly on the European Tour after losing his membership on the U.S. PGA Tour due to not playing enough events.Returning to Europe might just be the move to kick-start his career.In March, April, May, I thought I was playing really well, but I couldnt get good scores on the scorecard, Kaymer said. Then when you get asked about it, you obviously can tell the truth but the reporter or whoever ... doesnt really believe it because he sees the scores and you just want to prove it to yourself that you actually do play better golf.And that turned around a little bit, pretty much since I came back to Europe.Since May, Kaymer has had top-10 finishes at the Spanish Open, the Irish Open, and the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth. He was fifth at the French Open and 13th at the Scottish Open.His 66 at Troon was his lowest round of 2016, and he outplayed playing partner Dustin Johnson, the U.S. Open champion and the hottest golfer around.Kaymer, typically, wasnt getting too excited.I played very calm. Theres not much stress, he said.A chance of winning is very, very early. Its only a quarter of a long marathon. Its a very good start. But tomorrow well see how the weather will turn out and then play another good round. Thats all you can do.Assisted by caddie Craig Connelly, who grew up close to Troon, Kaymer opened with a run of five straight pars before making four birdies from Nos. 6-10. He also birdied No. 16 and managed to avoid dropping a shot on the tough, inward back nine.You know, the goal is always to just place yourself until Sunday, he said. Place yourself somewhere that you have a chance, and thats the same goal this week. Wholesale Custom Soccer Jerseys Online .

PASADENA, Calif. -- Five years after Utah running back Joe Williams and UCLA quarterback Mike Fafaul left Fork Union Military Academy together, they both posted record-breaking performances on the same wild afternoon.Only Williams left the Rose Bowl happy with his effort -- and his decision to get back in the game with the Utes.Williams rushed for a school-record 332 yards and four touchdowns in his second game back from retirement, and No. 19 Utah held off pass-happy UCLA 52-45 Saturday.Williams broke off TD runs of 3, 43, 64 and 55 yards during the greatest rushing day in Utah (7-1, 4-1 Pac-12) history, surpassing Mike Andersons 1999 record, and the most prolific rushing performance ever by a UCLA opponent.Im pretty sure [the Bruins] are tired of seeing the back of my jersey running down the field, Williams said, giving the credit to his offensive line. Weve got five grown men out there that could be in the NFL tomorrow. Im just glad to be running behind them.Cory Butler-Byrd returned the opening kickoff for a 99-yard touchdown on a day of stunning superlatives for the Utes in their second straight win at the Rose Bowl.Williams quit football last month before returning last week when injuries decimated Utahs depth, and he has 511 yards on the ground in two games since.Its awesome, Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said. Weve had some really good running backs come through here, and played against some inferior teams (compared to UCLA). He broke the record of all-time, and weve had a bunch of guys in the NFL, running backs that have done a lot of great things.Williams broke Andersons Utah record shortly before shredding Edgerrin James record for a Bruins opponent on his fourth scoring run with 10:28 to play.That young man had a world-class day against us, and thats disappointing because weve been playing the run so well, UCLA coach Jim Mora said.Williams didnt get a chance after the game to talk to Fafaul, his former high school teammate in Virginia.Fafaul made his own history, setting UCLA records for pass attempts (70) and completions (40) while throwing for 464 yards, third most in school annals.dddddddddddd UCLA essentially abandoned its awful running game, which began the weekend ranked 126th out of 128 FBS teams.We wanted to do something to help our run game and catch the defense off-guard, Fafaul said. Its not about the records or my performance. I just wanted a victory, and its really disappointing.The former walk-on had five touchdown passes and four interceptions for the Bruins (3-5, 1-4) in their fourth loss in five games.Fafaul was prolific but erratic in his second straight start in place of injured Josh Rosen, who went through warmups but didnt play. Fafaul had the third-biggest passing performance in UCLA history, trailing only 500-yard games by Cade McNown and Drew Olson.THE TAKEAWAYUtah: Williams ran wild on a record afternoon, but the ground game behind a dominant offensive line only lessens the sting for a Utah defense that got beaten for several big plays with poor tackling. Whittingham wont be happy about the Utes inability to limit a backup quarterback and an offense with no running game.UCLA: After struggling to run the ball all season, the Bruins abruptly reverted back to the spread passing offense run by departed offensive coordinator Noel Mazzone. After running the ball just seven times in the first half, the Bruins didnt call another running play until the final snap of the third quarter. Its difficult from the standpoint that (the Utes) kind of know whats coming, Fafaul said.POLL IMPLICATIONSUtah: Injuries and defensive woes cant slow down the Utes, who appear to be Colorados biggest competition for the Pac-12 South title. The Utes should slide up a bit in the polls with a difficult late-season schedule looming.UP NEXTUtah: The Utes return home to host dominant Washington in one of the seasons biggest matchups in the topsy-turvy Pac-12.UCLA: After a bye, the Bruins continue chasing bowl eligibility with a Thursday night trip to suddenly powerful Colorado.
