BRO, Sweden -- Lee Westwood shot an 8-under 64 to lead by three strokes after the second round at the Nordea Masters on Thursday. The third-ranked Englishman was at 12 under after playing with a new set of irons ahead of the U.S. Open at the Olympic Club in San Francisco next week. "The conditions were perfect for low scoring, here was little wind and the greens were pretty pure," Westwood said. "I putted nicely and that has given me a lot of confidence. "I could have been even lower, but I left the ball on the edge of the hole a couple of times." Although ninth in Europes 2012 Race to Dubai, Westwood is 57th in the European Tours average putts per round. "I am here building up all of my confidence," he said. "And the Olympic Club wont be any longer than this course, nor will the rough be any thicker. Maybe here only the fairways are a bit wider." Peter Hanson of Sweden (68), Scotlands Lloyd Saltman (64) and Carlos del Moral of Spain (67) are next. Saltmans round was his lowest on the European Tour and included an albatross at the par-5 12th. "I heard a little clap and then there was a big roar as I started walking, so I knew it must have gone in," Saltman said. First-round leader Magnus A Carlsson of Sweden followed up his 65 with a 72. Defending champion and countryman Alex Noren had been in danger of missing the cut following a 74 on Wednesday, but a 66 will ensure he plays the last two rounds.

Wide receiver Santonio Holmes will miss the rest of this season with an injured left foot, leaving the Jets without their top offensive playmaker. The team announced Wednesday that Holmes will require surgery and was placed on season-ending injured reserve. "Obviously, thats a big loss for us," coach Rex Ryan said. "Santonios one of the top receivers in the game, and it is a big loss." And, thats quite the understatement. The news came just over a week after star cornerback Darrelle Revis was likely lost for the season with a torn ligament in his left knee -- although the Jets havent placed him on IR yet, in case, Ryan said, he recovers in time to play in the Super Bowl. But that leaves the Jets (2-2) now without their best players on defence and offence as they try to return to the playoffs this year after missing out last season. Ryan insisted, however, that the teams expectations have not changed. "We have to rally around each other, for sure," Ryan said, comparing the situation in 2009 when the Jets lost nose tackle Kris Jenkins and running back Leon Washington in consecutive weeks -- and still made it to the AFC championship game. "It does test the resolve of your team, but thats one of our strengths," Ryan added. "Its unfortunate, but thats what happens." Ryan also pointed out that, despite their struggles, the Jets still lead the AFC East with a 2-0 record in the division. "Woe is me?" Ryan said defiantly. "How many people are going to feel sorry for the New York Jets? Myself, I know the answer to that: Nobody." Holmes went down on the first play of the fourth quarter of the Jets 34-0 loss to San Francisco on Sunday after catching a short pass that he tossed away for a fumble that was returned 51 yards for a touchdown by Carlos Rogers. X-rays on the foot were negative, meaning there were no broken bones, but the MRI exam results were sent to a foot specialist in North Carolina and the Jets worst fears were confirmed. "Thanks for the love, prayers, and support from friends and fans," Holmes wrote on his Twitter page. "Time heals all wounds." Ryan confirmed that it is a Lisfranc injury, which usually involves a sprain or tear of the ligament in the middle of the foot that holds the first two toes together. Recovery time depends on whether there is a dislocation or fracture, and whether surgery -- including screws inserted -- is needed. "My understanding is that hes going to be back and make a full recovery," Ryan said. "We have confidence hell make a full recovery and be ready to roll next year." Oakland wide receiver Jacoby Ford is out for the year with a similar injury, while Houston quarterback Matt Schaub and Raiders running back Darren McFadden are back after missing time last season with Lisfranc injuries. Other players have also rebounded from it, including Michael Strahan, Brian Westbrook and Ronnie Brown. New York signed free agent wide receiver Jason Hill to help make up for the loss of Holmes. The Jets are alarmingly thin at the position with rookie Stephen Hill still recovering from a hamstring injury, leaving Chaz Schilens, Jeremy Kerley and Clyde Gates as the only healthy receivers on the roster before the move to sign Jason Hill. Tight end Dustin Keller, one of quarterback Mark Sanchezs favourite targets, has missed a few games with a hamstring injury and iis uncertain to play in the teams Monday night matchup with undefeated Houston.dddddddddddd Holmes leads the Jets with 20 catches for 272 yards and a touchdown this season. He and Sanchez had their best game together since 2010 two weeks ago at Miami, when Holmes caught nine passes for 147 yards. "Obviously its something that we wish didnt happen to one of your best players," Ryan said. "But thats, unfortunately, part of this business." Holmes helped lead Pittsburgh to a Super Bowl victory in 2009, but fell out of favour and was traded to New York in April 2010 for a fifth-round draft pick. He played a key role in the Jets run to their second straight AFC championship game two seasons ago. New York re-signed him to a five-year, $45 million contract in 2011, and despite his troubles last season, the Jets kept him on the roster -- meaning the receiver is guaranteed $15.25 million over this and next season. The Jets havent ruled out signing other receivers to help, but it appears there will be no reunion with Plaxico Burress. Ryan said he had a "great" relationship with Burress, who played last season with the Jets after being released from prison, but added that they wanted to get "a little younger" and "faster," and another team will be lucky to have Burress. Jason Hill was a third-round draft pick of San Francisco in 2007, but was waived by the 49ers in 2010 and claimed off waivers by Jacksonville, where he played the last two seasons. The speedy receiver spent the preseason with Denver before being released in August, and has 76 receptions for 1,028 yards and eight touchdowns in parts of five NFL seasons. He was working out in New Orleans for the Saints earlier in the week when he got a call from his agent, Peter Schaffer. "He said, Stop that workout there," Hill said. "I got here as soon as possible." Hill made some headlines last season when he suggested that the Jets and Revis were a bit "overhyped" because of all the attention they received from the media. But then Hill was inactive for the Jaguars and didnt play against the Jets. "Hell probably have about 10 guys jump him or something," Ryan said with a smile. "I dont know if he was working himself up to play against Revis or what, but when he didnt play, that was a little different." Hill wasnt in a joking mood about those comments, preferring to put them behind him. "I didnt think anything of it," he said. "I dont think our team down in Jacksonville thought anything of it. But obviously, up here you all did. But its in the past, were teammates now and were going to move forward accordingly." And that means possibly making his Jets debut Monday night, something hes planning on. "Im going to stay up all night learning the playbook," Hill said. NOTES: San Franciscos Carlos Rogers said during a radio interview Monday that he thought the Jets may have quit during their game and looked like a team that wanted to "hit the showers." Ryan disputed that suggestion: "I think when you look at it, certainly we didnt play well," Ryan said. "Its obvious we didnt play well to his standards, either. I think we have a reputation in this league as being a tremendous defence and we didnt play that way. As far as us quitting, theres no way. That wasnt the case." ... FB John Conner (knee/hamstring) and LB Bart Scott (toe) rode stationary bikes in the early portion of practice, and their availability for Monday night was uncertain. ' ' '
