ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. -- Mackenzie Hughes figured he was down to his last chance to stay alive in a four-man playoff Monday morning in the RSM Classic.The Canadian rookie with pluck and a pure putting stroke poured in an 18-foot par putt from off the 17th green at Sea Island, and that last chance turned into his first PGA Tour victory when the other three players all missed from 10 feet or closer.I made the putt of my life right there, Hughes said.He calmed his nerves and came up clutch in the 42-degree chill, becoming the first PGA Tour rookie in 20 years to go wire-to-wire for his first victory. The final day of a long year on the PGA Tour brought a most unlikely finish.Hughes had a chance to end it Sunday night until his 10-foot birdie putt in the dark on the 18th hole turned away. The next morning, he was the only player who was never on the green at the par-3 17th until his ball was in the cup.Blayne Barber, Henrik Norlander and Camilo Villegas narrowly missed their par putts to extend the playoff.Hughes was watching from off the green, and the prospect of winning became more real with each putt that missed -- first Barber, then Norlander. When Villegas missed his 7-footer, Hughes dropped his putter, turned his back on the green and knocked off his cap as he rubbed his head in disbelief.If I didnt make, I thought I was probably out, Hughes said. Before I hit it, the thought was, Just make them think about it. Put this putt in first, and if you can be the first guy in, put the pressure back on them. And thats what happened.The victory sends the 25-year-old Canadian to the Masters. One of his most vivid golf memories as a kid in Ontario was watching Mike Weir win the green jacket in 2003.He was texting me last night a little bit, Hughes said. Its pretty cool to have a guy like that to lean on for advice.Billy Horschel was eliminated from the five-man playoff on the first extra hole Sunday night when he narrowly missed a birdie putt then shockingly missed a 2-foot putt. Hughes putts so well it was mildly surprising when he missed his 10-foot putt on the second playoff hole.It ate at me a little bit knowing that I had 10 feet to win it, he said. But I came out here to try to clear my mind, tell myself that I have a one-in-four chance.The odds looked worse when his 4-iron bounded over the green and down a steep slope. Making the pitch shot even more difficult was that the pin was 15 feet from the back edge and the green ran quickly away from him. His pitch was a few feet from being perfect, but instead it stopped short of the green.Norlander was in the front bunker, while Barber was left of the green and Villegas was just over the back. Barber and Villegas used putter for their second shots.The last rookie to go wire-to-wire for his first win was Tim Herron at the 1996 Honda Classic. Hughes started this week with a 61, and he led after every round until he was posing with tournament host Davis Love III with the trophy.Hughes, who closed with a 69 and finished at 17-under 265, capped a memorable fall season.He began his rookie season by playing the final two rounds with Phil Mickelson and tying for 13th at the Safeway Open. Mickelsons caddie Jim Mackay said in a text message Saturday night, I really like his moxie, hes got guts.In his only week off this fall, Hughes and his longtime girlfriend from Kent State, Jenna, were married. They planned a honeymoon in the offseason, and now he gets to plan a schedule that includes Kapalua, Augusta National and the PGA Championship in Charlotte, North Carolina, where he lives.Hughes earned $1.08 million.Villegas and Norlander do not have full PGA Tour cards, and a victory would have changed that. Villegas got into the field as a past champion, while Norlander has no PGA Tour status and received a sponsors exemption.Villegas had made every big putt, from his birdies on the 16th and 17th in regulation to his 6-foot par putt on the 72nd hole to join the playoff to another tough 4-foot putt in the dark Sunday night to stay alive. He missed from 7 feet Monday.I just pushed it a tiny bit, Villegas said. But once again, Im proud of myself. We want to win a golf tournament, so you go with a little bittersweet, but youve got to look at the positive and keep moving forward. Air Jordan 6 Retro Ireland .

NEW YORK -- On Wednesday, the New York Mets had Yoenis Cespedes hitting ahead of Jay Bruce.Their two biggest bats were positioned in the lineup hoping to spark an offense that has struggled in many facets, including situational hitting.Now the Mets will have to wait to see it again as Cespedes will be going on the disabled list with a strained right quadriceps on Thursday when they conclude the Subway Series against the Yankees at Yankee Stadium.Cespedes did not start the previous three games with the injury he initially sustained July 8. He missed two games before the All-Star break and the first two of the second half.Then the injury recurred Saturday and he did not appear again until getting a pinch-single Tuesday. Cespedes told manager Terry Collins he was feeling fine after Tuesdays game and again Wednesday over lunch, which followed a round of golf for the outfielder.He was the designated hitter Wednesday when he went 1-for-5. The Mets planned on using him there through Sunday before hoping to return him to the outfield next week.Instead, Cespedes was reinjured on his penultimate swing of the ninth inning when he struck out swinging.Cespedes DL stint, which will start three days after Bruce was obtained, became the latest injury for the Mets, who have lost 14 of their last 22 games and are 8 1/2 games out of first place.Its pretty frustrating, Collins said. Weve had to battle through a lot of things. Weve been inconsistent on both sides of the ball. Weve go out and will get a real good pitching performance and the next night well give up four or five.And one night well hit four homers and the next night we leave the bases loaded. Its pretty frustrating, but its the game and weve got to fight through it.Now the Mets will be counting on Bruce to do better than his two 0-for-4 nights and wait at least two weeks to use him and Cespedes together.I think the move we made the other day, even though Jays gotten off to a rough start in two games, but I think it should tell our players, Hey, look. Were in this, Collins said. Teams that are out of it, they dont make those kind of moves. So I think its a real positive move for us and I think, hopefully, as we kinda smooth things out after tomorrow night, well start to see some effects from it.The Mets have struggled to smooth many things out recently despite having a winning record since April 22.ddddddddddddSince finishing April at 15-7, they are 40-45 overall. The last time the Mets seemed headed for a run that resembled anything from the last two months of 2015 was June 30-July 7 when they won seven of eight to get to 47-38 and three games out of first place.Situational hitting has plagued the Mets all year and Wednesday was not any different. They took a 2-0 lead on four hits in the first inning and a 3-2 lead in the second but also bounced into three double plays and went 2-for-12 with runners in scoring position.Lack of consistency led the Yankees to trade off four players from July 25 to Aug. 1 and return home with talk of integrating prospects. The tipping point toward selling was a three-game sweep in Tampa Bay over the weekend, but the Yankees have responded by taking two of the first three.The Yankees have scored 15 runs in their last two wins and Wednesdays game was highlighted by Mark Teixeiras three-run homer and his reactions to being hit in the left knee by Steven Matz and being accused of stealing signs in the seventh by reliever Hansel Robles.Tonight was one of those nights where everybody was having a good time, Teixeira said. We were having some laughs. We got a little fired up for a little bit, but it was a good win.Bartolo Colon, who won eight games for the Yankees in 2011, will start for the Mets and this time will pitch on regular rest. After throwing 87 pitches on July 26 against the St. Louis Cardinals, Colon allowed five runs and seven hits in five innings on three days rest in a 7-2 loss to the Colorado Rockies on Saturday.Colon is 5-7 with a 5.98 ERA in 18 appearances against the Yankees but has never faced a rebuilding edition of New York.Nathan Eovaldi is 9-7 with a 4.78 ERA and like so many other Yankees consistency has been difficult at times for the hard-throwing right-hander. This season, Eovaldi has won six straight starts and also gone winless in six consecutive outings.It was the winless skid that temporarily sent him to the bullpen before the All-Star break. Since returning, Eovaldi is 2-1 with a 2.79 ERA in four appearances.Eovaldi is 1/3 with a 4.98 ERA in eight starts against the Mets. ' ' '
