MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Phil Mickelson talked about finishing off rounds coming into the St. Jude Classic, and he did just that Thursday with a 3-under 67 at TPC Southwind. Mickelson birdied three of his final four holes for his first round in the 60s since the third round at the Wells Fargo Championship. He hadnt shot below 70 since then, missing the cut at The Players Championship and tying for 49th at Memorial last week following a visit from FBI agents and lingering questions about an insider-trading investigation. He hasnt won in 19 events dating to the British Open and is among the players in Tennessee tuning up for the U.S. Open next week at Pinehurst. "I did exactly what I need to do and some momentum that I need heading into the U.S. Open," Mickelson said. "Tomorrows round, the same thing. Finish strong and play a good round." Retief Goosen was the clubhouse leader at 66. Mickelelson, who tied for second at Southwind last year, was among the 53 players who finished before play was delayed in the afternoon because of a thunderstorm. With the storm bringing high wind, tournament officials closed the course to fans for the rest of the day and sent home as many volunteers as possible. Play was scheduled to resume at 4:45 p.m., with officials hoping to squeeze in as much of the first round as possible. Even with tricky wind Thursday morning, Mickelson said his focus on each shot was much better. Hes trying to better visualize the shot and curve his irons so that his approach shots land closer to the hole, giving him more tap-in opportunities. Finishing with the three birdies in his final four holes was exactly what he wanted in a round with five birdies and two bogeys. He hit his approach from 135 yards on the par-4 sixth to 5 feet and rolled in the birdie putt. He left himself longer putts with a 7-footer on the par-3 eighth and an 11-footer on the par-4 ninth, but knocked them in for his strong finish. "Ive been struggling with finishing the round strong," Mickelson said. "I had a good round last week on Thursday and then played poorly. To birdie three of the last four made it a great round. Thats exactly what I need to do." Firm greens made it tough to land balls close, but Goosen credited the firm greens with helping him roll in some of his birdie putts. He sunk a couple from 5 feet or closer, but also had a couple birdie putts from 14 feet. Goosen also saved par on No. 7 with a 12-foot putt. "The greens are as good as greens as you can get," Goosen said. "The greens are rolling close to 13 on the stimpmeter. They are really good. You hit the right putt, they are going to go in." A seven-time winner on the PGA Tour, Goosen hasnt won on tour since 2009. He has two top-10 finishes this year as he continues his comeback from back surgery in August 2012. He tied for third in Memphis in 2011 and said he really likes the course. That showed as Goosen, who started on No. 10, birdied four of five holes before making the turn. He finished his round with two more birdies and two bogeys, including one on the par-5 third when his drive landed against a tree and forcing him to chip back into the fairway toward the tee. "But overall happy with my round," Goosen said. "Nice to get off to a good start and try and hold onto that." Divots: Robert Garrigus withdrew after hurting his wrist in the 18th fairway. He had a 79 that included three bogeys, a double and an 8 on the par-4 17th. John Simon Jersey . First, Ivan Nova decided to have season-ending Tommy John elbow surgery.

I dont want to put a guy out there if he cant protect himself. By that I mean being able to run out of the way, scramble out of the way to stay alive, keep the play alive, by being able to get out of the way.Rivera said if Newton is unable to do that, Derek Anderson will make his third start of the season.Anderson threw for 277 yards and a touchdown in Carolinas 19-17 win over Tampa Bay on Sunday. Hes 2-0 as Carolinas starter with both wins coming against the Buccaneers (2-11).Rivera said there is a misconception that Newtons injury is all about the quarterbacks pain tolerance moving forward.It can get worse if he gets hit there again, Rivera said of Newtons two transverse process fractures in his back.Players have Tuesday off, but Newton is expected to report to the stadium for rehab. The Panthers return to the practice field on Wednesday.Rivera said the goal is to get Newton on the field when hes ready.As he gets better (team physicians) will increase his workload until we get to a certain point where he gets back on the field, Rivera said.The Panthers (5-8-1) are in the midst of a playoff race.They can take over sole possession of first place in the NFC South if New Orleans loses to Chicago on Monday night.Newton is 3-8-1 this year as the teams starting quarterback.He has struggled through an injury-plagued season, undergoing ankle surgery in March and then fracturing his ribs during a preseason game at New England. Those injuries forced Newton to miss the season opener at Tampa Bay.ddddddddddddivera said Anderson did some good things filling in for Newton on Sunday, but said there was plenty of room for improvement.The Panthers reached or started in Tampa Bay territory on all 11 possessions, but came away with just one touchdown and four field goals.In fact, Carolinas only touchdown came after the defensive ends Charles Johnson and Mario Addison sacked Bucs quarterback Josh McCown and stripped the ball loose, allowing defensive tackle Kawann Short to recover at the Tampa Bay 4. The Panthers scored two plays later on a short pass from Anderson to Jerricho Cotchery.Carolinas struggles inside their opponents 20-yard line are nothing new.They rank 28th in the league in red zone offence, scoring touchdowns on just 45 per cent of their 40 possessions.On Sunday, many of Carolinas red zone woes were self-inflicted.The Panthers had a turnover at the Bucs 3, three penalties, a bobbled snap from centre, a dropped pass and a few poorly thrown balls by Anderson that wound up being drive killers.Until you operate without self-inflicted mistakes you are going to slow yourself down, Rivera said.Anderson said he was happy with the win, but felt he could have played better.I missed some throws, some things I just have to take that are there and make them tackle him, Anderson said after Sundays game. Efficiency-wise I feel like I could have been better.NOTES: Rivera said linebacker Thomas Davis hyperextended his left knee on Sunday, but is expected to practice this week. Thats not the same knee that Davis tore the ACL in three times. ... Defensive end Frank Alexander is eligible to return this week from a 10-game suspension for violating the leagues substance abuse policy. ... Carolina signed defensive tackle Kyle Love and waived defensive tackle MIcanor Regis.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Authentic Bills Jerseys Dolphins Stitched Jerseys Cheap Patriots Jerseys Wholesale Jets Jerseys Wholesale Texans Jerseys Cheap Colts Jerseys Jaguars Jerseys Store Authentic Titans Jerseys Authentic Broncos Jerseys Authentic Chiefs Jerseys Cheap Raiders Jerseys Chargers Jerseys Store Cheap Ravens Jerseys Wholesale Bengals Jerseys Cheap Browns Jerseys Steelers Jerseys Store Wholesale Cowboys Jerseys Wholesale Giants Jerseys Authentic Eagles Jerseys Cheap Redskins Jerseys Authentic Falcons Jerseys Panthers Jerseys Store Wholesale Saints Jerseys Authentic Buccaneers Jerseys Wholesale Cardinals Jerseys Cheap 49ers Jerseys Seahawks Jerseys Store Wholesale Rams Jerseys Wholesale Bears Jerseys Authentic Lions Jerseys Cheap Packers Jerseys Vikings Jerseys Store ' ' '
