RENO, Nev. -- Greg Chalmers is trying to leave his rivals behind in the Barracuda Championship -- and not get too far ahead of himself.Its a necessity at this level if you want to be successful, said Chalmers, the 42-year-old Australian who leads active PGA Tour players in starts without a victory at 385.The left-hander birdied five of the final six holes Saturday at Montreux to increase his lead to six points over Ben Martin and Gary Woodland in the modified Stableford scoring event.Chalmers had seven birdies and a bogey for a 15-point round and 39-point total in the scoring system that awards eight points for double eagle, five points for eagle, two points for birdie and deducts a point for bogey and three points for double bogey or worse.Theres a long way to go, and theres plenty of players capable of shooting a lot of points out here, Chalmers said. This golf course can give you a lot of points, if you drive it well, get it into play, start making a few putts. Ill get out there tomorrow and get that first tee shot in play and get after it.The scoring system awards aggressive play. In conventional scoring, Chalmers was 16 under with rounds of 67, 68 and 65. Martin was 15 under, and Woodland 13 under.Chalmers has only conditional tour status. He has made six starts this season on the PGA Tour, tying for 58th in the first in China in November and missing the cut in the rest, and also has played nine Web.com Tour events.Martin had eight birdies in a 16-point round, the best score of the week.The course dries out in the afternoon, the wind picks up, it plays a little tougher, said Martin, the winner last season in Las Vegas for his first tour title. I was really happy. I was bogey-free. Eight birdies today. Ive been trending in the right direction.Woodland had an 11-point round. The 2013 champion birdied all four par-5 holes.I played beautifully all day. I didnt get as much out of it as I would like to, Woodland said. Hit a lot of good shots, a lot of good putts. I would like to see a couple more go in. But Im excited about the way Im playing, and Im looking forward to tomorrow.Chalmers, Martin and most of the players are fighting for a spot in the British Open in two weeks at Royal Troon in Scotland. Because of the West Virginia floods that led to The Greenbrier Classic being canceled next week, a spot was transferred to the leading player not already eligible at Montreux. Woodland was the only player in the top 23 who has already qualified for the Open.That would be awesome, Martin said. I put myself in position to get there tomorrow. And this tournament will get me in the Open, the PGA, Maui, so theres a ton of upsides to play well tomorrow.Scotlands Martin Laird was fourth with 28 points after a six-point round. Steve Wheatcroft scored nine points to reach 27, and Will MacKenzie was another point back after an eight-point round.Wes Roach topped the group at 25 after a 13-point round. He had seven birdies and closed with a bogey on the par-5 18thI played well. Hit the ball great, Roach said. Obviously, not what the finish that I was looking for. But that doesnt take away from the positives of the day. Hit the ball well, gave myself a lot of good chances, made seven birdies.Colt Knost and Bronson Burgoon also had 25 points.Kelly Kraft had a 15-point round to reach 22. He had eight birdies and a closing bogey.I actually hit it the same I did as the first two days, buy finally made some putts, Kraft said. I worked hard, putted yesterday for about two hours after my round and found a little something and just started kind of rolling in some 10-, 15-footers early and got it rolling.He lost his drive to the right on the par-5 18th.Air Force 1 Basse Italia . On Mar. 16, coming off a "fight of the year" performance at UFC 154 the previous November, St-Pierre faced Nick Diaz at UFC 158 in what would be his eighth defence of the welterweight title. Using his superior athleticism, St-Pierre cruised to a five round, unanimous decision victory setting up a much-anticipated title defence against number one contender Johny Hendricks. Air Force 1 Scontate Uomo . Clarke was injured while practicing on the Doha Golf Club range after the pro-am on Tuesday. The Northern Irishman arrived at the course on Wednesday hoping to start, but after hitting a few balls on the practice putting green Clarke advised officials he was not fit to play. http://www.airforce1outletitalia.it/scontate-air-force-1-alte-bianche.html .J. Ellis hit two-run homers and the NL West champion Los Angeles Dodgers defeated the San Diego Padres 4-0 Saturday night. Air Force 1 Low Italia . Defencemen Drew Doughty, Shea Weber and forward Ryan Getzlaf also scored for the Canadians, who started their gold-medal defence 2-0.

Air Force 1 Sp Outlet . -- San Francisco 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks was fined $15,570 by the NFL on Wednesday for his hit on Saints quarterback Drew Brees last Sunday.BOSTON -- If Celtics fans had their way, and if their dreams had come true, Kevin Durant would be playing for Boston instead of the Golden State Warriors when the teams meet Friday night.Last summer, when Durant was deciding where to spend the next years of his career, the Celtics put on a big push, bringing their players and Tom Brady to a meeting with Durant on Long Island, N.Y.However, Durant spurned the Celtics and also spurned his former team, leaving the Oklahoma City Thunder for the Bay Area.It could make for an interesting reception by the TD Garden folks.What can they be mad about? Durant said Wednesday. I never played there, I never said I was going there. Theyre going to support their team.Its one of the best fan bases in the league. Top five, easily. So no matter who goes in there, theyre going to boo them. But I have no attachment to Boston at all.Buttering them up -- sort of -- may not keep the boos from raining down on Durant, but it will make for an interesting night.The Warriors lost just nine games in their record-setting regular season last year. One of those defeats was to the Celtics, in Oakland on April 1 -- and Boston was this close to being the only team in the NBA to beat Golden State twice.On Dec. 11, with TD Garden rocking, the Warriors rallied for a 124-119 double-overtime win against the Celtics, which gave Golden State a 24-0 record at the time. The Warriors record opening streak ended at Milwaukee in the next game, at the end of a seven-game road trip.The Warriors, who actually won their 28th straight regular-season game in Boston, trailed by five with 2:07 left in regulation, then played through a sloppy first overtime and then won the 58-minute game.We continue to fight. We believe in ourselves, Golden State forward Draymond Green said that night. We believe in each other and we trust each other. So, nothing new. The same old same old, which has made us who we are.They look a little different this season after failing to hold a 3-1 lead and losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers in last yearrs NBA Finals.dddddddddddd Durant arrived, and some key parts, such as Harrison Barnes and Andrew Bogut, left. However, coach Steve Kerrs team is 9-2 and hits Boston for the second game of a four-game road trip having already done something special.The Warriors have won five straight after a 127-121 victory at Toronto on Wednesday. They recorded at least 30 assists and shot 50 percent or better in all five games of their streak -- the first team since the 1990 Chicago Bulls to pull that off.And they meet a Celtics team that has been battling through the injuries suffered by Al Horford -- the big name brought in instead of Durant -- and Jae Crowder. The latter returned to practice Thursday, and both appear close. But having either of them for this game appears doubtful at best.After Durant went west, Crowder, in an interview with MassLive, said, That team is for sure the villain of the league. Every other NBA guy, friends of mine, are really disgusted from how the league is turning on that standpoint. Everybody is joining together. Everybody wants to go to Golden State or Cleveland.On Wednesday night, Isaiah Thomas and Avery Bradley, the guards who have to deal with Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson on Friday, combined for 48 points, 17 rebounds and seven assists in Bostons win over the undermanned Dallas Mavericks -- Thomas putting on a one-man show down the stretch.The little big man, who has yet to score fewer than 23 points in a game this season, scored 22 in the fourth quarter, 20 in the final 6:01. Bradley had the other two Boston baskets in the run and also grabbed a career-high 13 rebounds in the win that lifted the Celtics to 6-5 on the season.The same night against the Raptors, Curry scored 35 points and dished out seven assists, while Durant went for 30 points, nine rebounds and six assists.Curry is averaging 33.6 points per game and Durant 25.4 during the five-game winning streak.
