n-coached Alabama defense. Why not do it again?Its a mind

David Hearn is headed home for a rest to prepare for the RBC Canadian Open after the best showing of his PGA Tour career. The Brantford, Ont., native took a week off to prepare for the national golf championship after finishing as the runner-up at the John Deere Classic on Sunday. He lost in a five-hole playoff with Zach Johnson and eventual champion Jordan Spieth. "I think getting a week off will help me a lot," said Hearn on Tuesday. "Ive been playing a lot of golf and I feel like my games been at a pretty good level, so getting a little bit of rest will definitely help me heading into the Canadian Open." Hearns put together the best season of his professional career, with two top-10 finishes and US$1,026,715 in earnings after 21 tournaments. Last year -- his first on the PGA Tour -- he competed in 28 tournaments, with two top-10 finishes, earning $1,012,575. "I think if you look at the way my career has progressed since I turned pro, or even before that, Ive always had an ability to continue to raise my level of game to the next level," said Hearn. "I feel like the last couple of seasons Ive had very good signs and Ive seen a progression in my game and I feel like Im continually getting a little bit better." His play has put him at No. 46 in the FedEx Cup standings, an improvement on his ranking of 108th last season. The top 125 golfers will make the FedEx Cup playoffs in late August, but Hearn sees winning the Canadian Open as a priority for every golf season, regardless of his ranking. "Being Canadian, this is our national championship and theres a lot of pride that goes into playing in it and playing well," said Hearn. "I dont qualify for all the majors on tour yet so this is one of the bigger tournaments that Im going to play. "When I look at the summer schedule its one of the events I definitely want to prepare well for." The national golf championship will be held at Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville, Ont., from July 22 to July 28, about 60 kilometres from Hearns hometown. This will be the 34-year-olds 11th Canadian Open, and the second year in a row that the tournament has been within striking distance of Brantford. Thats given Hearn the chance to rest at home and count on a large group to support him. "My parents and my wife and lots of family have always come out to the Open to follow me and last year in Hamilton it was real close to where I grew up in Brantford so I had a big following and Oakvilles not that much further away," said Hearn. "Im sure Ill have at least the same crew out that I get when Im real close to home, if not more." Hearn expects all the Canadian golfers in the tournament will have fans cheering them on. "Its a lot of fun for us to play in the Canadian Open," said Hearn. "We dont get that hometown feel very often on tour and we always have a lot of Canadians throughout the course of the year come up to us at various other golf courses -- Canadians are very proud of their athletes and golfers -- so were always running into people and theyre very supportive and definitely when we play in Canada its another level." There are 12 Canadians already in the tournaments field, with the possibility of more joining as qualifying continues across the country. Hearn believes the Canadian Open is a special event and that its evident to visiting golfers how important it is to the country. "The Canadian Open is one of the few national championships that we play on tour and it should have the respect from the other players," said Hearn. "I think that a lot of players do see that when they come to Canada its an incredibly well-supported event and the fans are great and we get amazing crowds. "Its certainly an event that guys want to be a part of."

If ever they start actually putting pictures beside words in the dictionary, the Blue Jays left-handers mug will appear beside “Consistency. After opening the season with two sub-par performances in uncomfortably close six-point victories against unranked opponents Auburn and Troy, Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson said this week that he has detected a negative energy that he vows to correct.It was an honest and humble confession from a normally confident quarterback who entered the season as a leading candidate for the Heisman Trophy.This past weekend, you could just see it, Watson said. You could just feel the energy, starting with me being the leader of the team, not enjoying it. You can tell my body language has been bad and it kind of spreads throughout the team and it spreads throughout the fans in the stadium that people werent really excited about the game.Watson, who last year became the first player in FBS history to pass for 4,000 yards and rush for 1,000 in the same season, hasnt exactly been at his best through the Tigers 2-0 start.Watson, who passed for 300 yards five times in 2015, has yet to do that this season. After completing 67.8 percent of his passes last season, hes completing passes at a 52.9 percent clip in 2016. Hes thrown for four touchdowns, but also has been intercepted three times.Watson also rushed for 100 yards five times in his last seven games in 2015. His best rushing total this season is 55 yards going into the No. 3 Tigers home game Saturday against South Carolina State. Kickoff is at noon ET at Clemsons Memorial Stadium, and the game will be telecast over Fox regional networks.Im not Superman, Watson said. Im not a superhero. Im human. I make mistakes.Watson met with Clemson Coach Dabo Swinney and has emerged with a refreshed attitude.I apologize to the media and the fans, Watson said. Just enjoy it. This opportunity is very rare. Its a blessing and a privilege to be in this position, to have people want to talk to me, to want to hear my story and what is going on. It can easily be on the flip side and no one wants to talk too me, no one wants to respect me.ddddddddddddIts a blessing, and it just kind of got away from me a little bit with all the attention that Ive gotten. Ive just got to find myself and be back, be the Deshaun Watson I always will be.Though the early subpar performances cost the Tigers to drop a spot in the rankings from their No. 2 preseason slot, the game against the Bulldogs should give them the opportunity to start getting things back together.South Carolina State, an FCS program in the Mid-Eastern Atlantic Conference, is 0-2 after big losses to FBS opponents UCF (38-0) and Louisiana Tech (53-24). The Bulldogs have rushed for only 241yards in the two games and passed for 275 while giving up nearly 595 yards in total offense.The Tigers can take the opportunity to make adjustments to compensate for the loss of sophomore wide receiver Hunter Renfrow, who suffered a broken hand in last weeks 30-24 victory over Troy. The injury came as he made a 35-yard touchdown reception.Swinney said Renfrow will have surgery and is expected to be out a few weeks, possibly not returning until the Tigers game against North Carolina State on Oct. 15 but most likely by Oct. 29 when the Tigers go to Florida State following an open date.Renfrow was one of a key figure in Clemsons run to the National Championship game last year. He had 33 receptions for 492 yards and five touchdowns in 2015. The former walk-on had seven receptions for 88 yards and two scores against Alabama.He has caught at least one touchdown pass in each of the last four games and has four receptions for 62 yards and two scores in two games this year.Wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud, another sophmore, is expected to move into the starting lineup with Renfrows injury. McCloud is coming off a game in which he had seven receptions for a career high 86 yards. ' ' '
