BLAINE, Minn. -- Peter Senior found himself in good position to win his first Champions Tour event since joining the 50-and-over circuit last year. Senior shot a bogey-free 67 and John Huston birdied No. 18 for a 68 on Saturday that left them tied for the lead at 12 under after the second round of the 3M Championship. Jay Haas, the co-leader after the opening round, shot a 69 and was one shot back. "Itd be nice to win one. Ive had a couple of opportunities and never really went ahead with it," Senior said. Last week at the U.S. Senior Open, he was tied for third entering the final round, but shot a 71 -- the highest score of his four rounds -- and finished sixth, the second time he finished in that place in five weeks. He also lost in a playoff at the Regions Tradition in May. Senior birdied three of the four par-3s Saturday. He hit 27-of-28 fairways in the first two rounds, and 33-of-36 greens in regulation. "I really didnt have to struggle for any par, which is always nice to do," he said. "I had plenty of opportunities but the greens were a little slower today after the storm. ... Its nice to be in the position Im in." Play was delayed one hour 56 minutes due to rain and lightning when the leaders began their back nine at TPC Twin Cities. Early in the day, the course played much like it did Friday when 53 of 80 players broke par by firing right at the flags. However, the wind began to pick up as the final groups began their rounds around noon, quickly reducing the number of birdies that were being posted. Following the stoppage, the wind was not a factor and scores slowly began to drop again. Forty-five players broke par. Mark Calcavecchia (68), who finished second in last years event, and Minnesota native Tom Lehman (69) were two shots behind. Tommy Armour III (67), Mark OMeara (68), Kenny Perry (70), Nick Price (68) and Hal Sutton (69) trailed by four. Rod Spittle of Niagara Falls, Ont., shot a 72 to trail by five shots while Victorias Jim Rutledge hit a 70 to finish the day 10 strokes back. Huston birdied the first two holes to get to 10 under, and increased that lead with a 25-foot birdie putt on the tough ninth hole. Haas also birdied No. 9 to stay within two strokes of the lead. After a birdie at No. 11, Huston hit his tee shot on No. 12 into a water hazard, leading to a bogey. Haas and Lehman birdied the hole to get within one shot. "I was just kind of trying to hold it together the rest of the way," Huston said. "I hung in there. I made a good par on 16 after a really bad tee shot, and I was fortunate enough to make birdie on the last one." Senior birdied Nos. 13, 15 and 17. Haas missed a short putt on No. 18 that would have him tied for the lead. "Jay had a lot of opportunities from 10, 15 feet and missed a three- or four-footer at the last hole," Senior said. "He could have really had a real good score today." Calcavecchia had birdies on Nos. 14 and 15 to get within a shot. A bad approach shot on 18 -- statistically the easiest hole on the course -- cost him a birdie opportunity. He also missed four putts from within four feet during his round, saying he turned a potential 63 into a 68. "If I play great tomorrow and dont miss any putts inside five feet, six feet, Ill shoot a good score. Im hitting it great. Its just frustrating," he said. Lehman, a three-time winner this year and the season points leader, made three bogeys and said he couldnt get any momentum going but still has a chance at winning. "There are a lot of guys within four, five shots of the lead and somebodys going to go low, and if the weathers real nice, somebodys going to go real low," Lehman said. "You hope youre the one that does." New Balance Baratas Online . Calgary recently posted an 0-2-2 mark on a winless four-game homestand.

IRVING, Texas -- Tony Romos season is over, and the Dallas Cowboys will have to win without their star quarterback in a third straight playoffs-or-bust finale. Coach Jason Garrett said Romo had back surgery Friday, and Kyle Orton will start when Dallas faces Philadelphia on Sunday night with the NFC East title and a post-season berth on the line. Garrett said Romo underwent treatment all week in hopes of playing after injuring his back in a season-saving 24-23 victory against Washington. The winning touchdown came after the injury on Romos fourth-down pass to DeMarco Murray in the final 2 minutes. Romo hurt himself when he tripped over his foot while trying to escape pressure earlier in the fourth quarter. "He might have had his finest hour against the Redskins last week, what he did at the end of that ballgame under the circumstances," Garrett said. "Pretty special." Romo lost the past two winner-take-all finales -- to the New York Giants two years ago and Washington last season. He also lost to the Eagles in the same situation in 2008 and now will miss a chance to improve his 1-6 record in elimination games. "Hes devastated," Garrett said. "Devastated. He puts a lot into this." Philadelphia (9-6) is trying to complete a worst-to-first turnaround from a 4-12 season under first-year coach Chip Kelly. The Cowboys (8-7) want to end a three-year playoff drought and avoid a third 8-8 finish in Garretts three full seasons as coach. Dallas will have to do it without its defensive leader, too. Linebacker Sean Lee will miss his third straight game with a sprained neck. Hell wind up sidelined for five of the last six regular-season games. He was out for two with a hamstring injury. Lee was forced to watch last years season-ending loss to the Redskins with a toe injury sustained in the sixth game. "You have this picture of how the season is going to go and two years in a row, it doesnt go the right way from a personal standpoint,, from a physical standpoint," Lee said.dddddddddddd "Im just trying to stay positive, trying to help out any way I can, but I hate not being on the football field." Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on his radio show that the team and Romo hoped an injection would ease the pain enough to allow him to play. But his condition didnt improve, and Jones said doctors advised it was better not to wait for surgery. Jones said the hope is that Romo will be ready for off-season practices in May. Romo missed all the off-season workouts this year after surgery to remove a cyst from his back in April. Garrett and Jones said the latest injury is not related, but wouldnt be more specific about Fridays procedure. News of the second back surgery comes nine months after Romo signed a six-year, $108 million extension with $55 million guaranteed. "He played very well coming off the first procedure he had in the spring," Garrett said. "We are completely confident hes going to rehab and come back 100 per cent." Orton, who declined to talk to reporters Friday, will make his first start since the finale in 2011, when he finished the season in Kansas City after getting replaced by Tim Tebow in Denver. Hes appeared in three games and thrown just 15 passes in two seasons as Romos backup. "Weve been operating as if Kyle Orton is going to be our starting quarterback," Garrett said. "At the same time we were trying to do whatever we could to see if we could help Tony and get him back as quickly as possible. We just felt like this was the best course of action." Notes: DE DeMarcus Ware missed practice because of an elbow injury but told reporters he is playing. Hes listed as questionable. ... WR/KR Dwayne Harris and CB Morris Claiborne are set to return from hamstring injuries. Both are probable. Harris missed three of the past four games, and Claiborne missed six of seven. ... LB Ernie Sims is doubtful with a groin injury. cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
