Former St Johnstone, Burnley and Bolton boss Owen Coyle has left his role as Houston Dynamo head coach by mutual consent. The 49-year-old, who took charge of the MLS club in December 2014 on a three-year deal, wishes to be closer to his family in England.Coyle made the decision after speaking with Dynamo president Chris Canetti. Houston are currently bottom of the MLSs Western Conference. Coyle said: I asked Chris if I could speak with him and I explained to him the challenge of being away from my family and how we all want the best for Houston Dynamo.I want to wish all members of the staff, from owner Gabriel Brener to president Chris Canetti to general manager Matt Jordan, everyone has been such a source of support, along with the players and the technical staff.Id like to thank the Dynamo supporters, who have been outstanding. We have a brilliant club, and I have no doubt success is just around the corner.Canetti added: It is unfortunate that we were unable to achieve the goals we set forth together and that we find ourselves mutually parting ways as a result of many professional and personal circumstances.Without a doubt, Owen brought many great qualities to the club since his arrival 18 months ago and made a positive impression on the people around him. He is an excellent coach and an even better person, and I wish him and his terrific family nothing but the best going forward.

Norm Charlton Jersey .J. -- Marty Brodeur beat the Pittsburgh Penguins yet again. CARMEL, Ind. -- Rory McIlroy suddenly has new life in what had been a drab season.All it took was a phone call to British putting coach Phil Kenyon, a little work and a little patience, and a victory in the Deutsche Bank Championship that reminded McIlroy what had been sorely missing in his game.He doesnt need to putt great. He just needs to avoid putting poorly.I was looking at the stats from my win here in 2012, McIlroy said Wednesday at Crooked Stick for the BMW Championship. And I think out of 70 players, I finished 49th in strokes gained putting and won by two, shot 20-under par. So you dont have to putt great, but you cant putt poorly, either. If you have a great ball-striking week, if youre sort of just average in putting, you can have a great chance to win.McIlroy ended another season without a major, though that victory at the TPC Boston on Monday moved him to No. 4 in the FedEx Cup and gave him a clear shot at the $10 million bonus, which he has never won. McIlroy was the best player in golf in 2012 (when he won at the TPC Boston and Crooked Stick in successive weeks) and in 2014 (when he won the last two majors). Both times, someone else played better and won the FedEx Cup.And theres one other cup at the end that could turn a major-less year into a sweet one.If I can play the way I am playing through the next two events of this FedEx Cup playoffs and into the Ryder Cup, I still wont have achieved what I wanted to achieve this season, but its a nice way to finish the season off, he said. Its not a bad way to finish the year.On the other side of this is Jason Day.He surged to No. 1 in the world by playing better than anyone the first half of the year, winning at the Arnold Palmer Invitation and the Dell Match Play, and then adding The Players Championship. But he didnt win a major, losing by one shot to Jimmy Walker at the PGA Championship. In fact, he hasnt won since May.Even so, Day finds himself in a remarkably tight race with U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson for player of the year.The PGA Tours award is a vote of the players..dddddddddddd The PGA of America award is based on points. Day leads 80-76 in the points race, mainly because he has an ultra slim lead on Johnson in adjusted scoring average (0.008 difference) and a $507,527 lead on the money list.More troublesome to Day is this minor drought hes in.The worlds No. 1 player has had his chances, losing a late lead in the Bridgestone Invitational and failing to catch up to Walker at the PGA Championship. He wasnt a serious contender at either of the two FedEx Cup playoff events.But its a fine line, and Day could only laugh when it was mentioned that he had gone nearly four months without a victory.Of my goodness. I should start another profession then, right? he said.The only difference he can detect is missing a few more fairways, which he figures will lead to more birdie chances, better scoring and more trophies. He made it sound so simple, and for a short burst in the spring, he made winning look simple.I want to get back to that, Day said.A victory in either of the last two events might be enough for him to win the FedEx Cup -- if he wins the Tour Championship, hes assured of that -- and make this year as good as it can be without having a major.For everyone else, its a matter of getting to the Tour Championship.The top 70 in the FedEx Cup advanced to the BMW Championship, though Henrik Stenson at No. 24 took the week off to rest. The top 30 advance to the Tour Championship in two weeks at East Lake, where everyone will have a mathematical chance at winning the FedEx Cup.Brooks Koepka is holding down the 30th spot, with Daniel Berger one spot behind.Patrick Reed is at No. 1 in the standings from his victory in The Barclays and his tie for fifth last week at the Deutsche Bank Championship. Reed plays a full schedule, and its a good thing considering what he has gone through -- the Olympics, three FedEx Cup playoff events, a week off and then the Tour Championship and Ryder Cup. ' ' '
