PITTSFORD, NY – David Hearns third round certainly was a colourful one. A look at his scorecard on the PGA.com website shows six birdies (those appear in blue), five bogeys (a light brown) and a double (a darker brown). Add it all up and it spelled a tough day for the Brantford, Ont., resident who ended his day with that double and a score of 71. After a great start to his week, Hearn has slipped each of the following two days, blaming his putter for the slide. “The bottom line is I just didnt putt well enough today,” Hearn summarized. “Hopefully I can straighten that out (Sunday) and shoot a good score, maybe even get into red numbers.” Hearns day included missing some putts from knee-knock range on eight and nine, and then coming back with a solid birdie on the 10th after hitting his approach in to about six feet. A hole later, his tee shot on the par-3 11th landed in some deep rough beside the green. He hacked it out, clanging it off the pin and dropping it into the hole for another birdie. “I was just really trying to keep that one on the green,” he admitted. “To have it go in was a bonus.” He added another birdie at the 15th but stumbled home with a bogey on the 17th before his unfortunate double at the last. Those two final holes played as the first and third toughest on the course respectively Saturday and ate up more than their fair share of players. Still, Hearn was hoping for a better ending to his day. “Im a little disappointed in my finish,” he stated. “I had a string of birdies going on the back nine, but 17 and 18 are just playing so long. Theyre really more like par 5s. On 17, for example, I hit driver, 3-wood just to get there. Thats how long those holes are playing.” Despite that finish, it didnt take Hearn long to put it behind him. Hes able to laugh at himself for his hiccups and move on to the next challenge. It is, after all, only golf. Its his job and the way he makes his living, but he seems able to understand that getting upset over a bad finish is wasted energy. Hearn still has work to do on Sunday, a move up the leaderboard will assist him in the year-end FedEx cup playoffs. It will also put some cash in bank, which, with an $8 million purse, can be significant. Throw in some Official World Golf Ranking Points and even a few Presidents Cup points, and Sunday is an important day. “My goal for [Sunday] is to try and get into red numbers for the day and maybe even the week,” Hearn stated. “If I can put together a real nice Sunday round, shoot three or four under, I can move up into a good spot.” Even if that doesnt happen over the final 18 holes Hearn has certainly gained a lot this week. Hes taken another step in his career that has been a slow and steady climb, a climb that is proving nothing but a success.

Jaromir Jagr Stars Jersey . -- The Seattle Seahawks and wide receiver Sidney Rice have agreed to terms on a deal. Blake Comeau Stars Jersey . He made that dream a reality Wednesday night. Olt, who grew up in Branford, Connecticut, attended UConn and made a nearly 2 1-2 hour trek to Boston a handful of times to watch the Red Sox, belted a two-run homer, one of four hit by Cubs in a 16-9 rout that completed a three-game interleague series sweep.DETROIT - The Detroit Lions began the homestand that could make or break their season with the type of offensive performance their fans have been waiting for.Matthew Stafford threw for 390 yards and a pair of touchdowns to Calvin Johnson, and the Lions beat the Chicago Bears 34-17 on Thursday. Johnson had 11 catches for 146 yards in perhaps his best performance of the season.Detroit gained a season-high 474 yards in its highest-scoring game since a 35-point showing in the season opener against the New York Giants.We came home and handled business. Thats what we wanted, centre Dominic Raiola said. Were in a good spot right now but we know theres a lot of work ahead.After losing at Arizona and New England and falling out of first place in the NFC North, the Lions (8-4) began a three-game stretch at home against teams with losing records. They spotted Chicago a 14-3 first-quarter lead before scoring three consecutive touchdowns in the second.Chicago (5-7) looked sharp early on, but with no running game to speak of against Detroits defensive front, the Bears quickly gave away their early lead.We just didnt do enough and it starts with me, coach Marc Trestman said. Im looking inside and am accepting accountability for this loss, obviously. We just couldnt get it done today and didnt have enough ammunition to stop them or continue drives.The Lions have won back-to-back games on Thanksgiving after losing their previous nine. They beat Green Bay 40-10 last year.A lot was expected of Stafford this season, especially after the arrival of coach Jim Caldwell, who took over in January. The 26-year-old quarterback has put up fairly ordinary numbers in 2014, but he was very good Thursday.Hopefully, this game gives us some confidence and gives us a little bit of momentum, Stafford said. We played fast today, guys were in and out of the huddle ... dictate to the defence what the pace of the game was gooing to be.dddddddddddd. Thats all great, but if you dont execute it doesnt work.Here are a few things we learned from Detroits impressive win:MEGATRONS MARK: Johnson surpassed 10,000 yards receiving in his 115th game, becoming the fastest to reach that mark. More importantly, his big game quieted some concerns that he was slowing down. Johnson missed a month with an ankle injury earlier this season and was held under 60 yards in back-to-back games before Thursdays breakthrough.STOPPING THE RUN: Chicago barely even tried to establish Matt Forte on the ground. The star running back finished with 6 yards on five carries, and the Bears only managed 13 yards rushing as a team.PASS RUSH: The Lions offensive line has been a weak spot at times this year, and the Bears took advantage of that early when Jared Allen sacked Stafford, forced a fumble and recovered it at the Detroit 5. That set up the touchdown that put Chicago ahead 14-3.SHORT YARDAGE: Joique Bell scored on a pair of 1-yard runs for Detroit, including one on fourth down in the second quarter that gave the Lions a 17-14 lead. Bell leaped high in the air and extended the ball, just barely reaching the goal line.Bell finished with 91 yards on 23 carries and was the only Detroit player with any rushing attempts. Reggie Bush sat out a third straight game with an ankle injury.We stuck to it, Bell said. Thats the run game, thats the NFL for you. We keep pounding and pounding and eventually something is going to open up, and we were able to make some big runs toward the end.BROTHERS: It was an interesting Thanksgiving in the Fuller family. Detroit receiver Corey Fuller was facing his brother, Chicago defensive back Kyle Fuller.Corey Fuller caught one pass for 21 yards, and after the play, Kyle Fuller came over and playfully knocked the ball out of his hands.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
