BRISBANE, Australia - Adam Scott will be playing in Australia for the first time since his breakthrough win at the U.S. Masters in April when he kicks off a whirlwind four-tournament schedule in November. The countrys three premier tournaments — the PGA, Masters and Open — will be played over four weeks along with the World Cup. Scott, the first Australian to wear the green jacket at Augusta, headlines the field at the PGA beginning next week on the Gold Coast, joined by Americans Brandt Snedeker and Rickie Fowler. Its the first time the PGA has been staged at the Royal Pines layout. The tournament moved from its home of more than a decade at Coolum after the resorts owner turned part of it into a dinosaur theme park. Then its on to Royal Melbourne, where Scott will defend his Australian Masters title and then join Jason Day on the Australian team at the World Cup of Golf, also at the famed sandbelt course. The Australian Open, with Rory McIlroy joining Scott and Day, begins Nov. 28 at Royal Sydney to conclude the compacted schedule of marquee events on the Australasian PGA Tour. The big buzz is over Scott, whose win over Angel Cabrera on the second playoff hole at Augusta sent Australia into days of celebration. "Australia is a proud sporting nation, and this is one notch in the belt we never got," Scott said moments after his win. His arrival back in Australia was not lost on Snedeker. "I think everyone was happy for Adam, not just Australians, but everyone around the world because hes such a popular guy and he really deserved to win that tournament," Snedeker said. "So its good to have him getting back home and showing off that green jacket to everyone back in Australia. Im sure hes as excited and proud as they are." Australasian PGA Tour officials said Tuesday that some media are travelling from the U.S., and specifically from Augusta, to cover Scotts homecoming at the PGA. Scott, who grew up on the Gold Coast, will be given the keys to the city and spectators will be encouraged to wear green for Fridays second round. A week later, Scott will defend the yellow jacket he won last year at Melbournes Kingston Heath. This year at Royal Melbourne, hell be joined by Matt Kuchar, Vijay Singh and Zimbabwean Brendon de Jonge, a member of the International Team at the Presidents Cup this year. Marc Leishman, who played with Scott in the final round at Augusta, is also entered in the Australian Masters, along with Geoff Ogilvy, who is trying to recover from a recent stretch of indifferent form on the PGA Tour. Scott and Days team foes at the World Cup will include Americans Gary Woodland and Kuchar in the Nov. 21-24 event that will feature individual stroke-play competition with a team component — total scores of two-man teams. The format used will be similar to that used when golf makes its return to the Olympics in 2016 at Rio de Janeiro. The Australian Open will also have a more international flavour this year, being the first qualifying event for next Julys British Open at Royal Liverpool. On Monday, Royal and Ancient chief executive Peter Dawson announced that The Open Championship would move away from 36-hole qualifying events, instead using 10 tournaments from five continents to determine 32 spots in the field for Liverpool. Three players can qualify from the Australian Open. Scotts return to Australia will coincide with a far different golf revival for Jarrod Lyle. The Australian Masters will mark a return to competitive play for Lyle for the first time in 18 months after the popular Australian golfers recovery from his second bout with leukemia. Lyle told local media two months ago as he worked his way up to playing full rounds again that he hopes to be inspired by his 21-month-old daughter Lusi, who was born shortly after his second bout of cancer was diagnosed and his chemotherapy sessions began. "For me, thats probably going to be the biggest thing: having her there, at a golf tournament, watching her dad try to play some golf again," Lyle said. "Itd be nice for Lusi to be there and just run onto the green and catch me before I fall over after 18 holes." cheap nfl jerseys .

Third baseman Brandon Inge and catcher Victor Martinez both chased the ball, leaving the plate unprotected.MIAMI - Sitting in the visitors dugout one afternoon last September, Philadelphia Phillies manager Charlie Manuel watched rain fall as he gushed about the Florida Marlins precocious slugger, Mike Stanton. "Hes one of the best young hitters Ive seen come along," Manuel said. "The ball really jumps off his bat. Hes as strong as anybody Ive ever seen." Manuel went on like that for 15 minutes. Eventually the rain stopped, the game began and Stanton struck out four times. Oh well; no one ever claimed Stanton would get a hit every time up. But theres a buzz building about the 21-year-old right fielder, whose propensity for prodigious homers is — dare we say it? — Ruthian. Or Mantlesque. Or at least Pujols-ish. "It makes BP-watching a lot more fun," teammate Gaby Sanchez said. "Were catching our groundballs and Mike will come up, and youre like, Hold on a sec. I dont want to miss this." Stanton was called up from Double-A to make his big-league debut last June. His first home run was a grand slam, and in 100 games hit 22 homers, several of the tape-measure variety. He batted .259, including .312 with eight homers in the final month of the season, giving the Marlins reason to believe theyre set in the cleanup spot for however long they can afford Stanton. Others agree. One national publication even predicted hell be this years National League MVP. "Hes got awesome power," said Marlins special adviser Jack McKeon, not one for hyperbole. "With a little maturity and better pitch recognition, hes going to be something special." Some sluggers make the ball sound different off their bat. Hall of Famer Tony Perez, a Marlins executive, said Stantons bat sounds different even before he makes contact. "When youre around the cage when he hits BP, you can hear the bat: "Sssswwwwhhhhh," Perez said. "Its bat speed. Only a few players have that." Then theres the flight of the ball. Many of Stantons homers leave a lasting impressive, such as the shot he launched last week that dented a video scoreboard 40 feet beyond the left-centre field wall at the Marlins spring training ballpark. A right-handed hitter, he made upper-deck drives in batting practice commonplace last season, and cleared a building beyond centre field during the first week of spring training in February. Mark McGwire cleared that same building in 1998, the year he hit 70 home runs. "When a guy hits a ball that far, it doesnt matter how many times you see it, it still has that little wow factor," Sanchez said. "I can watch Stanton do it for the next 10 years and its still going to be, Golly, thats unbelievable." Stanton said hes not trying for tape-measure homers and is satisfied with clearing the fence. "Its all worth the same,&" he said.dddddddddddd "The length is for the fans. I dont care; otherwise I would be trying to do it every single pitch. Its not good to try to hit it farther and farther and farther. I figured that out once I got to professional ball. You need a sense of discipline." Even so, when spring training began, Stanton came out swinging. In the first game, he homered on the first pitch he saw. Then he strained his right quadriceps in the next inning and was sidelined several weeks. His first game back, he homered twice and drove in seven runs. "Unbelievable," said 2009 NL batting champion Hanley Ramirez, whos glad to have Stanton batting behind him this season — and perhaps for years to come. The Marlins promoted Stanton to the cleanup spot this spring even though he never hit fourth last year and seldom did in the minors. "Ive hit third or fifth or sixth," he said. "Ill be in bigger situations a lot more often, and Ill be ready to step up and take care of business. Otherwise the spots not going to be mine for long." At 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds, he looks the part. And with an appetite that leaves teammates in awe, hes still growing. New Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez, fired as the Marlins manager last June, watched Stanton make the climb through the minors. They crossed paths again during spring training. "I ran into him, and oh my goodness — he has put on another 10 pounds of muscle," Gonzalez said. "Holy cow. I guess thats what maturity does. Or reaching puberty." Yes, Stantons still a youngster, and hes still learning when not to swing. He struck out 123 times last season and endured an 0-for-31 slump in August. In 324 minor-league games, he had 371 strikeouts. But when he connects, the ball can go a long way. He hits homers to the opposite field; he hits line-drive homers; hit hits homers with plenty of hang time. "It reminds me of when Miguel Cabrera came up," Perez said. "Miguel came up from Double-A the same way at the same age. He turned out to be a pretty good player. Mike has the same potential to be a great player." And so the buzz builds — but slowly. After all, Stantons on a team often overlooked and playing in front of 65,000 empty seats. The Californian said he was recognized by strangers only once or twice during the off-season. But his jersey is starting to sell in souvenir shops, which he finds amazing. "It still blows my mind that Im even in the majors," he said. "You dream about this all your life, and youre living it. Its surreal sometimes." The Marlins are certain Stantons for real. They figure any hitter who can dent a scoreboard is going to have a big impact on the score. ___ AP Sports Writer Tim Reynolds in Miami contributed to this report. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
