Regardless of what anyone else did, were playing against the golf course. You cant control anything other than what you do, and I just kept that in the back of my mind. Lots of deep breaths, lots of thoughts of my family and knowing that this isnt make-or-break. This is something I chose to do. With that in the back of my mind, it really took the pressure off.Spaun had a 70.

But to finally get there and to feel that Im locked up and not having to worry about being on the bubble at Portland, its just a great feeling. Its going to totally free me up the rest of the year. Its just going to be about going out and having fun now.Xander Schauffele was third at 12 under after a 65. Austin Cook was another stroke back after a 69. Lindsey Horan USA Jersey . 1 position.

Now, correct me if Im wrong but I saw one official distinctly pointing at the net indicating a good goal but after an inconclusive review they overturned the goal.

LOUIS -- Mouth agape, Ken Hitchcock struggled to process the buzzer-beater that crushed the St. Louis Blues season. Goalie Brian Elliott sank to his knees in disbelief. For the second straight playoffs, the Blues finished with four straight losses to the Los Angeles Kings. They didnt get swept this time, it just felt that way. Especially to Hitchcock, who called out the cluster of high draft picks that have had several chances without making a splash in the post-season for a franchise still awaiting its first Stanley Cup. The roll call of first-rounders found wanting on the latest fade-out would be a long one. "What Im going to tell them is its not good enough," Hitchcock said after the 2-1 eliminating loss in Game 6 Friday night. "If you want to be a champion, its not good enough. "If you want to be a champion, youre going to have to find a way." T.J. Oshie, a first-rounder in 2005, was minus-3 in a game that included his first two career playoff goals. Patrik Berglund (06) had one goal and David Perron (07) none. Rookie Vladimir Tarasenko (10) was not a factor in his single appearance. Berglund had the best chance to tie it in the third but came up empty on a break-in, then was seen head in hands on the bench. Theyll carry the memory of Dustin Penners game-decider for months. "On that play youre just kicking yourself," said captain David Backes, a second-rounder in 2003 who has delivered leadership and gritty play. "Those are the little things that get magnified. They dug deeper than we did, the fate is were going home and theyre continuing on." While quick to credit Conn Smythe-winning goalie Jonathan Quick as the best player in the series, Hitchcock said the window of opportunity remained open for the Blues. But only, he was quick to add, if the core steps up. "Quite frankly, we need more from the people that are homegrown," Hitchcock said. "And thats something well address the off-season and in conversations with each individual. "We need the boys we built around." The ones they traded for, too. Among the disappointments they didnt draft were Chris Stewart, held to one assist after leading the team with 18 goalss, and Andy McDonald, held scoreless.dddddddddddd. Alex Steen and Vladimir Sobotka were among the few standouts at forward, Steen with a handful of clutch goals and Sobotka with consistent play all over the ice. The checking line of Adam Cracknell, Chris Porter and Ryan Reaves lived up to its "CPR" nickname. Goaltending and improved defence led the April surge. Elliott led the NHL with 11 wins in April and before Game 5 had allowed a single goal in eight consecutive games. Trade-deadline pickups Jay Bouwmeester and Jordan Leopold provided needed stability and composure to the back line, to the benefit of another former first-rounder, Alex Pietrangelo (08). The Blues had won 14 of 17 after taking the first two games of a physical series that featured three goals in the final minute of regulation, two overtimes and every game decided by a single goal. With no margin for error against the defending Stanley Cup champions, they paid for their lapses. Up 2-0 in the series and 2-0 in Game 3, they relaxed and lost. They failed to take advantage of several opportunities in Jonathan Quicks 1-0 shutout in Game 4. After carrying play most of the second period in the 2-1 Game 6 loss on Friday night, they let up in the closing seconds. "We hit a few posts and a couple sitting right there in the crease," Backes said. "Its beginning to be a broken record." Hitchcock absolved Elliott of blame on the deciding goal, just as he did after Slava Voynovs overtime goal in Game 5 because a Blues stick interfered with the flight of the puck both times. On Penners goal, he judged the puck jumped 4 feet. He blamed everyone else. "We didnt get the puck deep twice when we had a chance to clear, we didnt check the right player and then it went off our stick," Hitchcock said. "We panicked with the puck and it ended up in our net." Players, who planned to clear out lockers Sunday, know theres room for improvement. "This team was hot going into the playoffs, added pieces at the deadline," Backes said. "We took on some big players and we were expecting better than this. "I dont know what the next step is, but right now its just sour." ' ' '
