cheap nike jordans-Tevez caddies for Romero at British Open

LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England (AP) — Carlos Tevez is no stranger to the golf course — he spent a lot of time on one while on a five-month strike from Manchester City last season. Multimedia Photoview all photos Article Gallery: Tevez caddies for Romero at British Open However, the round he had on Sunday was one he'll never forget. On a glorious morning at Royal Lytham & St. Annes, the Argentina striker caddied for countryman Andres Romero in the final round of the British Open. This was no pro-am. This was golf's oldest and most famous tournament. "The chance to walk along the course and be around these great players is a pleasure and something unforgettable," Tevez said. After Romero shot a 77 in his third round Saturday to drop out of contention for the title, Tevez visited the house of the No. 109-ranked player and asked if he could carry his bag in the fourth round. They've been friends since meeting at the 2008 British Open at Royal Birkdale. Romero agreed to give regular caddie Anibal Nunez the day off and set out with Tevez in the fifth grouping of the morning, along with Chad Campbell of the United States. Wearing a blue cap and top — and carrying a set of clubs almost as big as him — Tevez acted as a shoulder to cry on for Romero, who shot a 12-over 82 to slump to dead last in the remaining field of 83, finishing at 18 over par. "I couldn't give any advice about the slopes, but I just carried the bag and supported him each hole," Tevez said. "Andres is a professional and he knows everything already. "We worked together very well." The 28-year-old Tevez was photographed numerous times on the golf course when he was on unauthorized leave from City last season, having fallen out with manager Roberto Mancini after refusing to warm up as a substitute during a Champions League match in September. When he did return to action with the English Premier League club, he helped them win the title for the first time in 44 years. After scoring a goal in a 6-1 victory at Norwich, he celebrated by swinging an imaginary golf club. Tevez is a 13 handicap and has played with Romero before in Buenos Aires. But he has never carried such a heavy bag. And has no plans to attempt to become a professional golfer after he retires from soccer. "No, I play just with my friends as an amateur.

BARCELONA, Spain — The U.S. Olympic men's basketball team wore the throwback uniforms of the 1992 Dream Team on Sunday. The Americans' play was much different.

The Americans got off to a hot start but their lead was down to four with 2:50 left after Manu Ginobili's three-point play. But Durant and Chris Paul hit big 3-pointers as the U.S. won after being pushed for the second time in its four exhibition games. Kobe Bryant added 18 points and LeBron James 15 for the U.S., which beat Brazil 80-69 in a similarly rugged game last week in Washington. Ginobili scored 23 points, Carlos Delfino had 15 and Luis Scola 14 for Argentina. Back in Barcelona, where the Dream Team won gold 20 years earlier, the U.S. players wore that team's throwback uniforms. The white uniforms with red and blue along the side and USA in the middle also had the letters “CD” in gold on the left shoulder in honor of coach Chuck Daly, the Dream Team coach who died in 2009. Otherwise, the Americans are more interested in building for London than reflecting too much on the past. Coach Mike Krzyzewski, a Dream Team assistant, made that clear Saturday at practice when he was asked about the old days. “I'm not here to sight see … this isn't me doing a reminisce tour in my retirement,” he said. The two games here should certainly help them get ready. The Americans play Spain on Tuesday, a rematch of the Americans' 118-107 win in the gold-medal game four years ago. First was Argentina, which won the 2004 Olympic gold medal, beating the U.S. in the semifinals.

DALLAS — We're still 40 days and 40 nights from the Sept. 1 season openers, and neither Sooners nor Cowboys report until next week. But football season has arrived. Big 12 Media Days start Monday at the Westin Galleria. In honor of the true number of Big 12 teams, here are 10 questions we'll try to answer from the two-day football festival: Multimedia Photoview all photos Article Gallery: Ten questions about Big 12 football: Who's Texas' quarterback? Is Tommy Tuberville feeling the pressure? 1. Is David Ash the Texas quarterback? The ‘Horns had shaky quarterbacking in 2010. But at least the ‘Horns that season knew Garrett Gilbert was their man. Last season, the job bounced between Ash and Case McCoy. 2. Does Tommy Tuberville feel pressure at Texas Tech? The Red Raiders are 13-12 the last two years, 5-12 in the league. Tech doesn't have ridiculous standards, but the Raiders have fallen far fast since the Mike Leach days. 3. How do Wes Lunt's OSU teammates feel about their true freshman quarterback? Mike Gundy emphasized naming a leader after spring practice. Then he appointed an 18-year-old as that leader. How has that gone? 4. Will Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads keep his beard? He grows a mean beard every offseason that would make James Harden proud but always shaves it off for football season. Maybe Harden has inspired him. 5. What is Charlie Weis like? Kansas football is interesting only because of the coach it hired. Weis certainly makes for interesting reading. Maybe he makes for interesting talking. 6. What is Geno Smith like? Think about it. The West Virginia quarterback has quite the reputation — picked ahead of Landry Jones and Collin Klein on the preseason all-Big 12 team — and already quite the career, but we know very little about the Big 12's newest star. 7. How is married life going for Landry Jones? Bob Stoops never has had a married quarterback. I can't remember the last married OU quarterback. OU stat king Mike Brooks said the last married Sooner QB he can find is Monte Deere in 1962. But Landry married Whitney Hand a few weeks ago in the closest thing we'll have to a royal wedding. 8. Which private school will be more excited about its new stadium, TCU or Baylor?
