BALTIMORE -- Kicker Billy Cundiff was cut Sunday by the Baltimore Ravens, who decided to keep rookie Justin Tucker instead of the former Pro Bowl star. Jeff Demps Patriots Jersey . Tucker went 5 for 5 on field goal tries during Baltimores first three preseason games and showed more leg strength than the 32-year-old Cundiff. Tucker made two field goals of 50 yards or longer; Cundiff was 1 for 6 last year from that distance. Tucker also comes at a cheaper price. Cundiffs place on the roster appeared in peril after coach John Harbaugh used Tucker for all the placekicking chores in Thursday nights preseason win over Jacksonville. Tucker was invited to camp as an undrafted free agent to challenge Cundiff, who made the Pro Bowl in 2010 but last season missed a potential game-tying, 32-yarder against New England in the waning seconds of the AFC title game. Harbaugh liked the way Cundiff rebounded from the pivotal miss, but decided Tucker was simply the better choice for Baltimore in 2012. "These decisions are never easy, and this one was difficult for all of us," Harbaugh said. "Billy had a great camp, the best he has had with us. He showed, like he always has, a toughness and an ability to come back and be a top flight NFL kicker." If Cundiff is to continue his career in the NFL, it will likely be with another team. After Thursdays game against the Jaguars, Cundiff insisted he had done everything possible to put that miss against the Patriots behind him. "Lets be honest, I feel like Ive been through enough," he said. "Theres not a single thing that I think somebody can trap me that Im not prepared for. So, I know my confidence has been high, I know when I came into training camp a lot of people asked me where my head was at and kind of questioned whether Id be able to even kick. Whatever the case may be, I felt like I proved continually throughout training camp that I came in prepared. And regardless of whats thrown at me, what the situation is, I feel like Im ready to kick." Tucker, a standout at Texas, believes hes become an even better kicker during training camp. "To the naked eye, it doesnt look like Ive made a lot of changes, but Ive made a complete transformation from the kicker I was in college to the kicker I am today," he said Thursday. "I feel like Im kicking the best I ever kicked."

His family was with him when he finished the Web.com Tour season at No. 3 on the money list to earn a spot in the big leagues. "It was just kind of like, Wow! I just got my PGA Tour card. You hope eventually one day youll make it out here," Henley said Friday. He showed up at the Sony Open for his rookie debut without any expectations except to play the same way he did on the Web.com Tour, where he won three times in two years, one of them while still in school at Georgia. His goal was to use this year to learn and improve. And after two days? Wow! Henley opened with a 7-under 63, one shot behind fellow rookie and good friend Scott Langley. He followed that Friday with seven birdies, no bogeys and another 63. That not only gave him a two-shot lead over Langley and Scott Piercy, it gave Henley the 36-hole scoring record at the Sony Open with a 14-under 126. Not bad for his second day on the job. The last rookie to win his PGA Tour debut was Garrett Willis at the Tucson Open in 2001, played that year opposite the winners-only Mercedes Championships at Kapalua. The Sony Open is far different -- the first full-field of the PGA Tour season, which included five Ryder Cup players from Medinah. The tournament is only at the halfway point, but the rookies are taking over, even if most of the players dont know who they are. "Its Russell something and Langley? I think Russell won when he was in college, right?" Piercy said. "Hey, theyre playing well. I think I played in five final groups as a rookie and didnt come through. Theres a learning curve. But maybe their curve is quicker than mine." The first tournament can be an awkward time for the rookies. They dont know a lot of the older players. Henley, for example, went into the dining room earlier this week and saw an older player sitting by himself. He didnt join him because he simply didnt know his habits -- maybe he preferred eating by himself. This is not a time to make introductions, rather to sit back and soak it all in. On the golf course, its a different story. It helped that Henley and Langley played in the same group for the first two days. Theres a comfort level, and it showed. They became fast friends after sharing low amateur honours at Pebble Beach in the 2010 U.S. Open, and then sitting next to each other on the long flight to Royal Portrush for the Palmer Cup. Langley opened with a 62 and followed that with a 66, the kind of score that usually keeps someone in tthe lead. Tedy Bruschi Authentic Jersey. . This time, he was two shots behind, and hes lucky it wasnt more. Henley kept making birdies, and Langley was four shots back at one point until he made birdies on his last three holes. "Its never easy to back up a really good round, I kind of got off to a little slower start," Langley said. "But it was certainly nice to finish the way I did and kind of get back in it with Russ. He played so well, and I was just trying to keep pace as much as I can. To finish that way was really good." Piercy played in the afternoon and made eagle on the 18th hole at the turn as he tried to catch up to Henley, only to get slowed on his back nine. He had to settle for a 64 and will join the kids in the final group Saturday. Matt Kuchar made eagle on his last hole for a 63 and was another shot behind at 11-under 129. Chris Kirk had the low round Friday at 62 and was in the group at 130 that included Tim Clark (66) and Charles Howell III (64). That the scores were low -- six players had a 63 or better Friday -- was no surprise. Oahu hasnt received much rain over the last several months, and in tropical sunshine, the fairways were running fast and the greens were pure. And for those coming over from a windy week on Maui, it truly felt like paradise. "Coming from last week, it feels really easy out there," Kuchar said. "This course, as simple as it seems, its one of the tougher courses on tour. If youre not playing well, youre going to make some bogeys. ... I understand the wind is supposed to really die down over the weekend, so I certainly expect low scoring. The course is in great shape, greens are beautiful, so theres going to be a lot more birdies and foot has definitely got to be down on the pedal." Dustin Johnson wont get a chance to match Ernie Els as the only players to sweep the two Hawaii events. Johnson, who won last week at Kapalua, withdrew after playing nine holes because of the flu. "I feel like Im coming down with whatever my caddies got," said Johnson, who was 3 over at the turn. "Just not feeling well. Stomach hurts, headache, tired." Pat Perez, equipped with a new attitude, had a 63 and was five shots behind. Perez has decided to abandon his Twitter account because of all the comments he reads, instead promoting his Facebook account. His goal is to have fun on Facebook by poking fun at adages and cliches. "For example, when people say theyre on cloud nine. Whats cloud nine? There is no such thing," Perez said. Try telling that to Henley or Langley. ' ' '
