Die Macht » four turnovers into tries, including one

NAPA, Calif. -- On the eve of a new PGA Tour season, Emiliano Grillo of Argentina picked up his second trophy of the old season as the rookie of the year.Grillo began his rookie year by winning in a playoff last year at Silverado. He made the cut in all four majors and finished in the top 20 in all but the U.S. Open, and then he had a pair of top 10s in the FedEx Cup playoffs, including a runner-up finish at The Barclays.Smylie Kaufman and Si Woo Kim also won last season as rookies, though Grillo had the highest finish among them in the FedEx Cup at No. 11.Kaufman won in Las Vegas a week after Grillos victory, and Kaufman played in the final group at the Masters until he fell back in the final round. Kim joined Grillo as the only rookies to reach the FedEx Cup finale at the Tour Championship.I have two trophies that Im always going to have in my memory, Grillo said.One was from the Frys.com Open (now the Safeway Open). The other was his crystal bowl as rookie of the year. He said the second one was harder to win.This is probably the top one because you only get one chance of getting rookie of the year and I think Im lucky enough to do this for a living and work really hard for it, Grillo said. That win last year was something that proved to me I belong here, that I could win out here. That was something that its hard to earn, its hard to get that in your mind. Quite different, but definitely up there both.It was the third time in the last four years that the PGA Tour rookie of the year came out of the high school class of 2011. Jordan Spieth won the award in 2013 and Daniel Berger won it last year.Grillo grew up competing with those two, along with Kaufman, Justin Thomas and Patrick Rodgers, in junior golf circuits.That group was so competitive. It was hard winning junior events, Grillo said. Everybody was shooting 10-under par, 8-under par, on really difficult golf courses. I think that got me ready. I was playing with the best juniors in the world. I was playing with guys that were very hard to beat. When youre 14, 15 years old, it kinds of gets you ready very quickly.Next up for the Argentine is keeping the trophy he won last year from Silverado. He is No. 24 in the world and still has as many as five tournaments left this year, including the HSBC Champions in Shanghai and the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- The United States was seconds away from the biggest upset of the Olympic rugby sevens tournament before Emma Tonegato and Chloe Dalton combined to earn Australia a 12-12 draw Sunday in a dramatic end to the group stage.Tonegato scored a very late try for the world series champions, and Dalton converted it after the full-time siren.We havent got the loss against our name, but it was definitely the kick up the pants that we needed going into the quarterfinals, Australia coach Tim Walsh said. I sent a message out to Chloe before she kicked, saying, `This is for the gold medal, so keep your head down and slot this, and she did. I think she really likes the pressure.Tonegato scored the first and the last tries of the match, and Jessica Javelet scored two in between to give the Americans a 12-5 lead going into the last minute.With the draw, Australia topped Pool A and moved into a quarterfinal match later Sunday against Spain, the last team to qualify for rugbys return to the Olympics after 92 years, leaving the Americans third in the group but into the quarterfinals as well.The reward for such a close call against the Australians is a daunting knockout match against New Zealand, the other main contender for the first Olympic gold medal in womens rugby in history.United States captain Kelly Griffin praised Javelet for her pace, saying, She can come into these games and make a difference.Australia is the No. 1 team in the world, so they put up a really good fight. In this instance, we were able to meet it and come out with a tie, she said, adding that securing a quarterfinal spot had always been the target for Sunday. I trust these girls. These girls are my family, so were trying to do something great toggether.ddddddddddddBritain captain Emily Scarratt scored a second-half double as her team upstaged Canada 22-0 to top Pool C, scoring four tries against a team that hadnt conceded a point in its opening two games.In the other quarterfinals, Britain will play Fiji, which placed second in Pool A and closed with a 36-0 win over Colombia, and Canada will meet France, which lost 26-7 to New Zealand and placed second in Pool B.Brazil won its first game of the tournament, beating Japan 26-10, but both teams missed out on the playoffs, along with Colombia and Kenya, which lost 19-10 to Spain its last game.The 12-player British squad contains 11 members of the England team that finished the world sevens series tied with Canada, which won the last stop on the tour and edged into third place and was confident of winning an Olympic medal.Handling errors cost the Canadians dearly, though, with the British converting four turnovers into tries, including one after the halftime siren.Brazil won its first game of the tournament, with Beatriz Futuro Muhlbauer capping the victory by diving under the posts for her second try of the match against Japan directly in front of the biggest section of local fans, triggering raucous cheering in the almost half-full temporary 15,000-seat stadium.Australias Elia Green, the fastest woman in world rugby, had to leave the field inside the first 30 seconds after a head clash on the sideline with an American defender. The Australian team said she had passed an initial head-injury assessment and would undergo another test but expected shed be cleared for the quarterfinals. ' ' '
