Its not often that a golf pro actually opens up his wallet and pays for golf equipment, but a recent purchase Graham DeLaet made could end up being worth millions. . A few weeks ago, the Weyburn, Sask., native put down $150 for a long putter that he put into play at the BMW Championship this week and that club guided him to a first-round 64 and a share of the lead. On his final hole, the ninth, DeLaet rolled in a 38-foot putt for an eagle, pushing him into a tie with Rory McIlroy, Bo Van Pelt and Webb Simpson. Yeah, that was a nice way to finish for sure,” said DeLaet. “I mean, nonetheless I had a good round, I was kind of looking for a birdie there, but that was a bonus for sure.” While its only the first round, it did push DeLaet further down what has already been an improbable road. He began the FedEx Cup ranked 106th but a great finish on Sunday at the Barclays moved him to 44th. After missing the cut at the Deutsche Bank, he slipped to 60th, still good enough to play this week. Right now, hes projected to end up sixth, however, there are still three rounds to play and a lot of golf on a long and wet golf course that is surrendering plenty of low numbers. “I know if the course stays this soft, youre going to have to keep shooting low numbers,” he stated. “Thats the thing, youve got to always be in attack mode when golf courses are playing like this. Its a good start, but thats all it was; it was a start, and Ive still got 54 holes to play.” Still, its hard not to look down the road just a little bit. A spot in the Tour Championship would not only mean a massive payday, but a spot in all four majors, all World Golf Championships and all the invitationals. So that $150 putter? It really could be a million-dollar purchase. “I bought it in a golf store in Boise a few weeks back,” DeLaet admitted. “It still had the price tag on it. Some guys were making fun of me, but its been working so Im not taking it off.” And he also wont be shaving any time soon. He and pal David Hearn, who are playing the first two rounds together, are growing playoff beards just as if they were in the hunt for the Stanley Cup instead of the FedEx Cup. Whether its the putter or the beard, for DeLaet, its working. [url=http://www.buccaneersofficialteamstore.com/autographed-carl-nicks-jersey-zz... Nicks Jersey .

J. Paul Reddams horse has been installed as the 4-5 morning-line favourite, the first time in his eight-race career that he has held top spot in the odds. Team Reddam was happy with Wednesdays draw at Belmont Park. "Being in the 11 hole, were able to kind of see how the pace sets up," trainer Doug ONeill said. "If theyre crawling, well be hopefully leading the crawl. And if theyre flying, well be sitting in behind the horse flying." Ill Have Another started in the No. 19 spot in the 20-horse Kentucky Derby and No. 9 in the 11-horse Preakness. Ill Have Another is bidding to become the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978. Since then, 11 horses have won the Kentucky Derby and Preakness only to stumble over the 1.5 miles of Belmont dirt. Even rivals are talking up the Canadian-owned entrys chances of becoming the 12th horse to win the Triple Crown. "Several good horses in here but obviously Ill Have Anothers the horse to beat, hes for real," said Chad Brown, trainer of Street Life. "A horse is going to have to run the race of his life to beat him." New York Racing Association analyst Andy Serling says the lightly raced Ill Have Another has a shot to do more than just join the exclusive Triple Crown club. "He has a chance to really be a horse that theyll say in history he was a very deserving Triple Crown winner," he said. As for the draw, Serling said it was essentially benign for all concerned. "Ill Have Another drew extremely well, getting towards the outside," he said. "I think his (teams) biggest worry was he would have been inside and become a bit of a target. "Getting the outside post had to be a great relief to them. I dont think anybody was particularly compromised." The horses in post-position order with morning-line odds are Street Life (12-1), Unstoppable U (30-1), Union Rags (6-1), Atigun (30-1), Dullahan (5-1), Ravelos Boy (50-1), Five Sixteen (50-1), Guyana Star Dweej (50-1), Paynter (8-1), Optimizer (20-1), Ill Have Another (4-5), My Adonis (20-1). Ill Have Another was moved to the so-called Belmont detention barn Wednesday, joining other horses in the field in a secure setting where feed and other variables can be monitored to ensure an even playing field. ONeill said his horse was feeling good. "Hes doing great," he said. "Hes continued to gallop good, his energyys been good, his appetites been strong. [url=http://www.buccaneersofficialteamstore.com/autographed-jeremy-zuttah-jersey... Zuttah Jersey. Hes handled this whole journey as good as you can possibly ask for. "He hasnt lost a bit of his flesh at all. His coat continues to shine and look great. We couldnt ask for him to be coming into this any better." Ill Have Another pegged back favoured Bodemeister in the Kentucky Derby and Preakness, prompting owner Ahmed Zayat to sit Bodemeister out this time and instead send Paynter to the starting line. "Our colt ran his heart out in the Derby, he ran a spectacular, unbelievable Derby," said Zayat. "We have an incredible horse in Ill Have Another. Hes a true champ, hes a really, really nice horse ... We were just beaten by a better horse fair and square." Bought by Reddam of Windsor, Ont., for US$35,000 as a two-year-old, Ill Have Another has won five of seven career starts and earned $2,693,660. He will be ridden again Saturday by Mexican jockey Mario Gutierrez, who calls Vancouver a second home after racing there. Ill Have Another drew praise from other rivals Wednesday. "I dont think Ill Have Another, as much attention as hes gotten, has really gotten his full due yet," said Jerry Crawford, owner of second-choice Dullahan. "And the reason is that Ahmed Zayats horse Bodemeister has just been spectacular in both races and yet Ill Have Another has found a way to beat him in both races. "Ahmed and I talked with Paul (Reddam) earlier today and said to him that were going to do everything we can to keep him from being a Triple Crown winner. But after what hes already done, and if he gets it down here Saturday, hell not only be a worthy Triple Crown winner, he will have exceeded all possible expectations." Ill Have Another went off in the Derby 15-1 while runner-up Bodemeister went off as the 4-1 favourite. Ill Have Another was second choice at 3-1 in the Preakness behind 8-5 favourite Bodemeister, who finished second again. Serling said there are just two ways that Ill Have Another loses Saturday. "One is he just doesnt show up. Now I see no indication that should be the case but obviously its horse racing and that could happen," said Serling. "If he shows up and runs the race he ran in the Preakness, I dont think he can possibly lose this race. I dont care how much they (the rest of the field) improve. "But a horse like Dullahan or I suppose even Union Rags, though Im not a big fan, or even Paynter could step forward and run a big race, But let me tell you, they better." ' ' '
