MONTREAL - Mark Calcavecchia likes the tree-lined fairways at Richelieu Valley Golf Club and hopes he can master them for a second straight year on the Champions Tour. The 53-year-old won the Montreal Championship by four strokes last year and will try to do it again when the US$1.6-million tournament returns to Richelieu Valley Sept. 6-8. "Its a course I like, and that helps," he said Monday during a promotional visit. "Ill be optimistic that I play well again." Organizers said 2010 champion Larry Mize and 2011 winner John Cook have also confirmed they will play in the 54-hole seniors event. So to will tour leader David Frost, Fred Funk, Kenny Perry, Brad Faxon and Rocco Mediate. Last years event was played on the Vercheres course at Richelieu Valley while the 2013 competition will be on the Rouville layout. Calcavecchia got a look at both on his last visit says hes comfortable with the entire course. "Right when I first drove in knew I liked it," he said. "I just liked the look of the clubhouse and the trees and where the range was and the whole setup of the facility. "I do like tree-lined courses like that." And it seems he likes playing in Canada. The Laurel, Neb., native won the 2005 Canadian Open at Shaunessy in Vancouver and finished second to Steve Jones in 1989 and Nick Price in 1994, both at Glen Abbey in Oakville, Ont. He also won the 1997 Greater Vancouver Open at Northview in Surrey, B.C. "Im a northerner," he said. "Ive had some good success over the years, even in the early days at Glen Abbey. "But when I came here, I knew I was playing well. I putted great all week. That generally happens when you win." Calcavecchia has participated in all 11 Champions Tour events this year and will play again this week at Glenview, Ill. He expects to play them all. The Montreal tournament was held in mid-summer in its first three editions, but has been moved to September. It now falls a week after a new tournament in Calgary, the Shaw Charity Classic at Canyon Meadows from Aug. 30 to Sept. 1. Calcavecchia, the 1989 British Open champion and a 13-time PGA Tour winner, has won twice on the Champions Tour. He feels he should have won more. "A lot of guys say the same thing," he said. "Any time you finish in the top three or four, youre that close to winning. "Its a few things here and there. You dont quite make enough putts on Sunday or whatever. Overall, Im very happy with the way Ive performed but Im about four wins short of where I should be. But you never know. You can get hot, win a few and all of a sudden youre right where you want to be." Calcavecchia watched the best in the world struggle with the nasty rough and killer greens at Merion in the U.S. Open last weekend. He laughed when asked if he encountered those conditions on the Champions Tour, which is for players 50 and older. "If you put us old guys in that kind of rough it would be ugly," he said. "There would be some guys who would play good, but thats one of the good things about the Champions Tour — the courses generally dont beat us up too bad. "We play three or four tournaments with pretty thick rough, but thats about it. We play some courses that are pretty long. Thats one of the big misconceptions. People think every hole is driver-wedge. Thats not the case. Our pin placements are a little easier as a whole. And the lack of rough week in and week out is probably why we shoot such good scores." wholesale nfl jerseys .

Villarreal stayed in fourth place and two points behind third-place Real Madrid. Leader Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are a further two points ahead. "We hope we can keep this up and stay in the Champions League spots," Cani said. "We are not going to settle for less. Although we do remember that we have just come up from the second division." Striker Jeremy Perbet needed 30 seconds to put Villarreal ahead at El Madrigal Stadium by volleying in a cross by Hernan Perez that Cani had headed down to him in the area. Despite the early blow, Espanyol hung in the match thanks to Kiko Casillas goalkeeping to stop two shots by Giovani Dos Santos before halftime. Javier Aguirres team, which was full of second-choice players, then pressed Villarreal into its area at the start of the second half. But Cani set up substitute Jonathan Pereira to tap in the hosts second goal off the break in the 67th after streaking down the left flank. Espanyol, however, wasnt done and forward Sergio Garcia pulled one back in the 80th when he spun away from his marker and drilled a shot past goalkeeper Sergio Asenjo to leave the result in doubt until the final whistle. It was Espanyols first loss of the season. "Both goals that we conceded could have been prevented," Aguirre said. "We can lose a game but maintaining a sense of order is a priority for us. We scraped and played well, but Villarreal had the answer. We can only congratulate them because theyre on a great run." Also, Athletic Bilbao fought back for an entertaining 2-1 win over Real Betis, while Getafe beat visiting Celta Vigo 2-0. Biilbao dominated the match at the new San Mames Stadium, which has sections of seating still under construction, with forward Ibai Gomez peppering Betis area with crosses from the left wing and hitting the crossbar twice before halftime.dddddddddddd But Betis goalkeeper Guillermo Sara saved a penalty kick taken by Benat Etxebarria in the 58th when Markel Susaeta wrong-footed Xavi Torres and was tripped by the midfielder in the box. In a rare excursion into Bilbaos area, Betis forward Jorge Molina poked his own rebound from a header saved by Gorka Iraizoz under the keeper from a tight angle to snatch the lead in the 62nd. Bilbao kept pushing forward and the 73rd-minute equalizer came through Oscar de Marcos, who went on in the 70th and soon raced in to head Benats cross between Saras legs. Defender Mikel San Jose was then left unmarked to head in Gomezs cross-- the first one he sent in from the right side-- to take Bilbaos winner in the 82nd. Molina almost grabbed a draw for Betis, which was left with just one victory this season, with a shot off the post four minutes from time. "To be fair, Athletic should have gone into halftime ahead," said Betis coach Pepe Mel. "From there on, with the saved penalty, the sensation that I take away is that we did enough to take a point." Getafe centre back Lisandro Lopez scored one goal and set up a second to give the Madrid-based team its second victory of the season. Lopez headed in a cross by Pedro Leon one minute before halftime, and the Argentine flicked on Leons corner kick for Alvaro Arroyo to double the advantage five minutes after the break. "We should have won by a wider margin," said Getafe coach Luis Garcia. "We had the game under complete control throughout. This is the line we have to continue in, playing with this degree of intensity." cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
