SHANGHAI, China -- The British Open is moving away from 36-hole qualifying, instead using 10 tour events from five continents to determine 32 spots in the field. The only 36-hole qualifying that remains for golfs oldest championship will be 12 spots available from four links courses just before the British Open. They will become permanent sites. Players who fail to get in the British Open off their own tour can enter those final qualifying sites. Royal & Ancient chief executive Peter Dawson said Monday the reasons for the change include building more interest in the weeks leading up to the British Open to give players a more rigorous test over 72 holes at a tour event instead of 36 holes of qualifying. The new system will be called the "Open Qualifying Series," and it starts next month at the Australian Open. On the PGA Tour, instead of the 36-hole qualifier outside Dallas that offered eight spots, the British Open will take the leading four players not already eligible from the top 12 and ties at the AT&T National and The Greenbrier Classic. One spot will be available from the John Deere Classic, a week before the Open. On the European Tour, the 36-hole qualifier at Sunningdale will be replaced by offering three sports at the Irish Open, the French Open and the Scottish Open. Dawson said the configuration was different for the American tour -- four spots at two events, one at the John Deere -- to avoid the scramble of getting to Britain at the last minute. Three spots will be available in Australia and South Africa, and four will be offered at the Mizuno Open in Japan and in Thailand on the Asian Tour. The British Open is July 17-20 at Royal Liverpool in England. "There were not in any way problems with the qualifiers. They werent the cheapest to stage," Dawson said. "We just felt we werent getting in the media the buildup in the Open. And the fact these events are on television, and theres going to be an Open qualifying leaderboard, we think it will give the Open more anticipation." The U.S. qualifier near Dallas had been held in May for the convenience of players, nearly two months before the Open. Dawson said the golf schedules around the world were getting more crowded, another reason why he felt it made sense to blend in tour events with qualifying. Asia-Pacific Amateur champion Lee Chang-woo and runner-up Shohei Hasegawa earned a spot in final qualifying for the British Open. They will take part in the Open Qualifying Series in Thailand. International Final Qualifying began in 2004, offering 36-hole qualifiers in America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. Previously, the Local Final Qualifying was held on four courses near where the British Open was being playing that year. Starting next year, the R&A selected four permanent sites in various regions of the country to help with travel -- Glasgow-Gailes Links in Scotland, Hillside in northwest of England, Woburn in central England and Royal Cinque Ports on the eastern coast of England.

The Crimson Tide (5-0, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) trailed briefly, 7-6, for the first time in regulation since last years Tennessee game, a span of about 10 games. The Rebels (3-2, 0-1) put up a fight against a team that had been walloping opponents by nearly 37 points on average, but still lost their ninth straight SEC opener. "It was a hard-fought win for us," Alabama coach Nick Saban said. "I think people probably dont give Ole Miss enough credit. They played hard. They were physical. Their offence is difficult to defend." Saban had tried to keep his players focused by broadcasting Tim Tebows memorable speech after the Rebels upset Florida four years ago in the weight room and meeting rooms. Alabama goes into its open week without needing such a podium prompter. McCarron completed 22 of 30 passes for 180 yards and Eddie Lacy gained much of his 82 yards in the fourth quarter when Alabama put it away with Jeremy Shelleys third and fourth field goals of the game. The Tides defence bailed out an offence that sputtered at times with three interceptions. Alabama totalled 305 yards against a defence that gave up 66 points and 676 yards to Texas two weeks ago. The Rebels gained 218 yards in a game that was largely controlled by the defences after days when SEC teams like Texas A&M and Georgia rolled up 50-plus points. Lacy had 12 carries for 43 yards through three quarters. Cooper collected eight catches for 84 yards. McCarron broke Brodie Croyles school mark of 190 consecutive passes without an interception. He finished the game with 206 in a row. Bo Wallace was 15-of-26 passing for 123 yards for Ole Miss and was intercepted twice. Jeff Scott was limited to 49 yards on 19 carries with a touchdown.dddddddddddd Ole Miss did something no other team had done in about 10 games: Got a lead on Alabama in regulation. It lasted only as long as it took Jones to run back the ensuing kick. Scott cut inside for a 1-yard touchdown early in the second quarter for a 7-6 lead. That ended the Tides streak at 603 minutes, 46 seconds dating back to a 3-0 first quarter deficit against the Volunteers last season. It was fleeting. Jones raced untouched for a touchdown after grabbing the ball on a high bounce at the goal line and Alabama scored two more TDs before halftime to surge to a 27-7 lead. It was Alabamas first kick return for a TD since Trent Richardson did it against Duke on Sept. 18, 2010. Then, Dee Milliner intercepted a pass that Wallace threw right to him. Three plays later, McCarron hit the playmaking freshman Cooper for a 16-yard touchdown. It was ruled incomplete, but a review overturned the call after replays showed he had possession with a foot in bounds and the ball stretched just across the goal line. Cooper reached over Frank Crawford in the end zone for a 12-yard touchdown. Both his scores were on third-down plays. The Tide defence picked off passes on consecutive on consecutive drives after Ole Miss scored its first touchdown. "That was the turning point in the game," Saban said. "We really only put one true drive together. Those turnovers were really the difference in the game." Ole Miss didnt score again until Randall Mackeys 12-yard touchdown run with 6:35 left in the third quarter trimmed the deficit to 27-14. The Rebels converted two fourth-down plays on the drive, on a Jeff Scott run and catch. The Rebels had one final chance to stay in the game. They inched across midfield midway through the fourth but had to punt and Alabama ran most of the clock down with a ground game mostly held in check before getting another field goal. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
