Southampton, Bermuda (Sports Network) - Rory McIlroy and Keegan Bradley both shot a four-under 67 on Tuesday in the first of two rounds at the 2011 PGA Grand Slam of Golf. This is a two-day event at Port Royal Golf Course that features all four of the years major winners, so this tournaments field includes Bradley, the PGA Champion; McIlroy, the U.S. Open winner; Charl Schwartzel, the Masters champion; and Darren Clarke, the British Open champ. While a small field, the Grand Slam of Golf features some of golfs rising young stars and one of its mainstays who finally broke through. Its an interesting arrangement of players for sure, ranging from McIlroy, who may have taken over the title of Most Popular Golfer, to Clarke, who searched for his first major title for so long. All four players were first-time major champions in 2011. At the end of 18 holes, the leaderboard was in reverse age order, with McIlroy, 22, and Bradley, 25, leading the 27-year-old Schwartzel, who shot a three-over 74, and the 43-year-old Clarke, who shot a six-over 77. "Its a good course for people who can hit it out there and hit it high," Bradley said. "You can fly a lot of bunkers. Its just a good course." Bradley looked to run away with the event early on, but he stumbled down the stretch, and McIlroy took advantage. "I finished really, really well," McIlroy said. "But to birdie three of the last five holes was great, and at one stage I was behind Keegan; so to draw level with him after the first day was nice." Following Bradleys opening bogey, he eagled the second and birdied the third to grab the early lead at two-under. McIlroy opened with four pars before his first birdie, Clarke had three bogeys in the first four holes and Schwartzel had a birdie on No. 2 in the first few holes. Bradley passed his lead with a birdie on the sixth and an eagle on the seventh, and he finished his front nine at six-under with a birdie on No. 9. Midway through the round, Bradley led by four over both McIlroy and Schwartzel, while Clarke lagged behind at two-over. "(My round) was absolute crap," Clarke said. "And I didnt come all the way here to play that bad. So obviously disappointed. Ive just been struggling with my swing." Bradley cooled off over the back nine, recording only two bogeys, and Schwartzel played his back nine at five-over, including a triple-bogey at the par-three 16th. "Disappointing," Schwartzel said of his round. "I thought I actually played really well up until 12. I hardly missed a shot. Didnt make any putts on the greens." McIlroy, meanwhile, dropped to one-under with two bogeys and a birdie on the first four holes of the back nine, but rallied with back-to-back birdies at 14 and 15. He was two back at that point and cut the deficit to one with a par on the 16th -- Bradley bogeyed -- and McIlroys birdie on the 17th evened the score. Bradley and McIlroy closed with pars to finish at four-under, well clear of the other two major champions. NOTES: Last year, Ernie Els beat David Toms, Martin Kaymer and Graeme McDowell. Toms was in the field only because of an injury to British Open champ Louis Oosthuizen...Bradley is the only rookie among the four. Hes won twice this year on the PGA Tour.

Their 38th instalment is arguably their biggest fight card to date, including three-title fights and a main event which was selected by the fans. The promotion boasts 14-straight years of business and is operated by MFC president Mark Pavelich, who is often overlooked in this country for the foundation hes established for MMA in Canada. "Im the forefather of MMA in this country and its going to continue to be that way -- When Im dead one day and they make (me) a statue. (Critics will) feel terrible about how they spoke about me. Thats whats going to happen." Pavelich told TSN.ca Founded in 2001, the MFC is the longest running MMA promotion in North America next to the UFC and has outlasted other organizations such as the IFL, Elite XC, DREAM, Affliction and most recently Strikeforce who have all ceased operations. "Im not a promoter; Im a fight pioneer thats what people dont understand. Fight promoters are guys that come around and do it once in a while Im a guy thats been in (the fight business) right from the beginning." While MMA has been thriving in Western Canada for years thanks to the success of the MFC, the province of Ontario hasnt been as responsive, only legalizing MMA back in 2010. Despite the UFC holding successful annual events in Toronto the last few years, local MMA promotions are essentially non-existent in Ontario. Even the MFC has only held one event in Ontario (MFC 29: Conquer, in Windsor, Ontario) and that was back in 2011. Whats keeping local MMA out of Ontario? According to Pavelich it is the governing bodies in charge and not Ontario Athletic Commissioner Ken Hayashi. "Its not (Hayashi), its the provincial government that makes these regulations and fees. Thats the thing they have to fix and alter before (the MFC) returns because these fees are astronomical, theyre the highest in the world. Las Vegas is cheaper (to run an event), Albertas cheaper, and Quebec is cheaper." Pavelich believes MMA cant grow properly in Ontario if the UFC is the only promotion running events. "Thats just something (the governing bodies) have to take a look at. If they really want to see MMA develop properly in Ontario, I think (the MFC) is the only brand of MMA that can actually do it. I mean if you want to wait around for the UFC to come once a year and you think thats going to develop MMA, its not going to happen that way." One of the catalysts for the MFCs success has been their out of the box type thinking, including their recent "Punch The Vote" contest where fans had the opportunity to pick which of the three title fights would serve as the main event for MFC 38. This included Canadian Smealinho Rama vs. Anthony Hamilton (for the heavyweight title), Sam Alvey vs. Jason South (for the 185lb title) and Anthony Birchack vs. Tito Jones (for the 135lb title). "What I loved about the voting -- It really showed were not a local a brand of MMA, were not even a Canadian brand of MMA, and we had people voting from all over the world. That proves thats lots of people are paying attention and thats really exciting." Proof of this was the Calgary native Rama who received the least amount of votes and bantamweights Birchack and Jones (both of whom are American) earning the main event slot. Rounding out MFC 38s main card, aside from the three title fights is a lightweight affair between Canadian Kurt Southern and Jason Novaes. Pavelich believes this rematch from MFC 36 will be nothing short of fireworks. "Kurt Southern is the best 155er in Canada. I think Novaes is a speccial individual as well.dddddddddddd Theyre going to go at it again for the second time and Im super excited about that. But like I said its unfortunate because there are three titles and nobody is talking about (this) fight." On the topic of fighters on the MFC roster, many fans have been wondering why welterweight superstar Dhiego Lima hasnt been competing inside the MFC ring this year. The answer is simple, hes a free-agent. "Problem with Dhiego is we have too many American Top Team guys in our organization. He was crossing (fights) with them -- a few times he was going to have title fights with other American Top Team guys and then it got really weird. They wouldnt fight each other." "We released him and let him go to where he wants to go, because (not fighting teammates) is going to be a problem." This is the second time Pavelich has let a Lima brother leave his organization as a free-agent. Dhiegos older brother Douglas left in the Alberta based promotion back in 2011 and has recently found success in in the Bellator Fighting Championships, winning two welterweight tournaments. "Im happy for (Douglas) although I dont think hes fighting for the right organization, sometimes agents make the mistake. I dont blame him whatsoever." "Go check Limas twitter today, you know what it still says "MFC Champ" at the top of it. That tells you whats in his heart. He told us at our home one time that made a mistake going to (Bellator). He could have walked into the UFC, and not just walked in, he could have walked in like a star" "I dont think he gets the publicity like he did when he was with the Maximum Fighting Championship any more. (Bellator) fails to promote that end of stuff" As the sport of MMA continues to grow, the addition of women fighting is always a hot topic. With UFC introducing females into their organization earlier this year and debuting them on the Ultimate Fighter, could we see the same thing in the MFC? "I respect all female fighters. Im a huge Miesha Tate fan, I like Sarah Kaufman. I think theyre great athletes. The problem is I dont think I can get a quality ten girls together to make this a great division." Another budding issue with the MFC is their broadcast rights. Currently their events only broadcast live on AXS TV (formally HDNet) in the States. Canadian cable companies pulled the plug on AXS TV in Canada last year. The only way fans can watch MFC events in Canada is on a two-week tape delay on speciality channel the Fight Network.
