I pretty much executed everything I tactically planned to do, Djokovic

SAN ANTONIO -- The San Antonio Spurs have agreed to a two-year contract with forward Jeff Pendergraph. Pendergraph made the announcement on Tuesday before a workout at Arizona State, his alma mater. The 6-foot-9 Pendergraph spent the past two seasons at Indiana, mostly in a reserve role. He averaged 3.9 points and 2.8 rebounds per game last season with the Pacers, who reached the Eastern Conference Finals. Pendergraph was drafted out of Arizona State by Portland in 2009 and played one season for the Trail Blazers before missing the 2010-11 season with a torn right ACL. He should added frontcourt depth to the Spurs, who lost to Miami in the NBA Finals this past season. Cheap Chargers Jerseys .

Gerald Green and Miles Plumlee? Green had bounced around the NBA when he wasnt playing overseas. The Pacers gave up on Plumlee after just one season.

SPRINGFIELD, N.J. -- Jordan Spieth hit the reset button after the U.S. Open, a prudent decision to keep from looking in the rearview mirror.Gone was the burden of trying to repeat 2015 by winning the Masters and U.S. Open in the same year. This was all about looking ahead at two more majors, not so much to salvage the year but the chance to make it another great one. And now, even that is about to end.Golf, known for its deliberate pace, is on warp speed this year.I had said after the U.S. Open it felt like now the second half is starting, Spieth said. And all of a sudden, you know, thats the end of the majors for the year.Blame it on Rio.Golf is back in the Olympics for the first time since 1904, a dozen years before the PGA Championship was held for the first time. To make room on the schedule, the PGA Championship agreed to move up to the final weekend of July ahead of the Rio Games.That left 11 days between the end of one major and the start of another. From a claret jug to the Wanamaker Trophy with barely enough time to breathe.Thats pretty mad, Graeme McDowell said with a slight grin as he shook his head. An unusual summer.Ready or not, the final major starts Thursday at Baltusrol Golf Club.This will be the ninth major at Baltusrol, which includes the U.S. Open seven times. Phil Mickelson won at Baltusrol in the 2005 PGA Championship, making birdie on the final hole to claim at the time was his second major.The PGA Championship has the strongest field of all the majors, and it really stands out in an Olympic year. No one is skipping Baltusrol except for injury, while the Olympics will have only eight of the top 25 in the world.As for the timing?The PGA Championship, before it settled into a traditional August date in 1969, used to be all over the calendar. Jack Nicklaus won the 1971 PGA Championship in February when it was held at PGA National in Florida. The PGA was held in December 1929 at Hillcrest Country Club in Los Angeles. Over the years, it has been played in every month except for January, March and April.What doesnt change about the 98th edition of the PGA Championship are the stakes. For years, the slogan of the final major was Glorys Last Shot, and that still applies. This is one last chance for players to reshape their outlook on the year, to turn a good season into a great one.That starts with Spieth, defending champion Jason Day and Rory McIlroy.They began 2016 as the modern version of the Big Three because they had traded turns at No. 1 in the worrld, they had combined to win five of the previous six majors and there were all in their 20s.ddddddddddddBut going into Baltusrol, all three are in danger of being shut out in the majors this year.Spieth is having a very good year, and he needs reminded of that every now and then. He has won twice, including in his home state of Texas. He was one bad swing away from winning the Masters again. It just feels like a failure compared with last year, when he won two majors and his worst finish was missing the playoff at St. Andrews by one shot. The high expectations created from 2015 are starting to wear on him.Had last year not happened Id be having a lot of positive questions, he said. Instead, most of the questions I get are comparing to last year and, therefore, negative. Because its not to the same standard. So thats almost tough to then convince myself that youre having a good year when nobody else ... even if you guys think it is, the questions I get make me feel like its not.One major could change the outlook.Ditto for McIlroy, whose only victory was the Irish Open before a home crowd. McIlroy ended 2014 with two straight majors, and he lost a chunk of last year recovering from an ankle injury. This was going to be the year when he asserted himself, except it hasnt happened. He missed the cut in the U.S. Open and didnt finish closer than five shots in the other two. Now imagine him holding the Wanamaker Trophy for the third time. Frustration becomes instant gratification.All I can do is keep plugging away, McIlroy said after he tied for fifth at the British Open, 16 shots behind. Its really close. Im staying positive about it. I feel like good things are happening. If I can drive the ball like I did this week at Baltusrol and sharpen up a few bits and pieces, I think Ill be right there.Day has been No. 1 in the world since March, and his three victories are the most on the PGA Tour. When he won The Players Championship in May, it was his seventh victory in the last 10 months. It has been a very good year. A major makes it a great one.Any of the major winners this year -- Masters champion Danny Willett, U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson and British Open champion Henrik Stenson -- can claim the best year in golf by adding another major.That all have one thing in common at Baltusrol: Its their last shot until next spring at Augusta National.
