Lee Westwood found inspiration in past performances as he looked to put his Ryder Cup disappointment behind him with a second victory in the British Masters.Westwood feels he let down good friend and captain Darren Clarke after failing to win any of his three matches as Europe suffered their heaviest defeat for 35 years at Hazeltine.The former world No. 1 then followed that disappointing performance by missing the cut in last weeks Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, thanks largely to a second round of 82 at Kingsbarns.However, Westwood was back to something approaching his best at The Grove, carding six birdies and two bogeys in a four-under-par 67 which left him a shot behind the lead shared by compatriot Tommy Fleetwood, Scotlands Marc Warren, Finlands Mikko Ilonen and South Africas Richard Sterne.Im really pleased, its the best Ive played in quite a while, said Westwood, who will succeed Luke Donald as tournament host next year, with Close House in Northumberland expected to be announced as the venue shortly.My driving has not been great but I drove it really well today, didnt miss a fairway, and gave myself a lot of chances. Ive been working on a couple of things on the swing, looking at old videos when I was getting in good positions.Its a swing thought Ive used for 20 years, just set my right arm a bit faster and a little bit better and it gives me a bit more room on the way down.Probably the only poor shot I hit was on the seventh, when Billy [Foster, his caddie] told me left of the green wasnt good and I managed to hit it there anyway.Warrens only dropped shot of the day came on the ninth, his final hole, after four birdies and an eagle on the par-five second when his five-wood approach from 235 yards finished just six inches short of the pin.The 35-year-old started last weeks event 125th on the Race to Dubai, with only the top 110 after next week keeping their cards for next season, but finished fifth at St Andrews on Sunday to move up 55 places.The last couple of months have been tough, trying first and foremost to keep my card, so I was delighted to do that and carry that good form into this week, Warren said.The wind was picking up as we were going round so Im really pleased to get in with a 66. I was not really under too much stress at any time so it was a very enjoyable round of golf. Its not very often you get to walk up and tap-in for eagle, which was pretty sweet.Dunhill Links winner Tyrrell Hatton also continued his good form with an opening 68 matched by Graeme McDowell, Shane Lowry and Chris Wood, while defending champion Matt Fitzpatrick had to settle for a 70 after two bogeys in his last seven holes.Tournament host Donald struggled to a six-over-par 77, while Masters champion Danny Willett was forced to withdraw before starting his round, the 29-year-old suffering from the recurrence of a back injury.Willett, who did not win a point on his Ryder Cup debut at Hazeltine, wrote on Twitter:?There was better news for former Ryder Cup star Jose Maria Olazabal, who carded a 73 in his first competitive round since missing the cut in the Masters last April.Olazabal, 50, admitted he hit rock bottom last December as be battled rheumatoid arthritis, but also hopes to play next weeks Portugal Masters before a possible career on the Champions Tour.

China Jerseys NFL Authentic .Y. - New Orleans forward Anthony Davis was chosen Friday to replace the injured Kobe Bryant in the NBA All-Star game that will be played in his home city. WASHINGTON -- Trailing by a goal, the Washington Capitals spent their second intermission venting about their poor play. Marcus Johansson used the rest of the game to lead the comeback.Johansson scored the tying goal late in the third period and got the winner midway through overtime to rally the Capitals to a 3-2 victory over the Buffalo Sabres.We talked in there, pulled ourselves together and played a lot better, said Johansson, who has four goals in his last five games to raise his season total to 11. It wasnt pretty, but we got the puck deep and we got it done, and thats all that matters.Jay Beagle added the Capitals first even-strength goal in three games as Washington snapped a three-game losing skid.Braden Holtby made 31 saves in the victory, the Capitals second over the Sabres in an 11-day stretch, with losses to Toronto, the New York Islanders and Tampa Bay sandwiched in between.Weve been going down a little bit of the wrong path right now, said John Carlson, who assisted on Johanssons tying goal. The world isnt ending, but we know its not good enough for this group and our expectations of each other and ourselves.Even with the victory, Capitals coach Barry Trotz still left the Verizon Center frustrated by captain Alex Ovechkin, who picked up his fifth minor penalty in three games.Unacceptable. Hes their leader. He cant take those penalties, Trotz said. Im going to address it harshly with him tomorrow.Kyle Okposo scored his team-leading eighth goal of the season to give the Sabres the lead in the second period, and Zemgus Girgensons also scored early for Buffalo.Robin Lehner made 30 stops for the visitors, who were forced by injury to play two rookie defenders with a combined one game of previous NHL experience.Still, the Sabres outshot the Capitals 16-7 in a second period that ended with Buffalo leading 2-1, before Washington turned the tables with a 16-9 edge and a goal in the third.Buuffalo was trying to win three out of four for the second time this season.ddddddddddddI mean give them credit, theyre a good team, but I think were starting to sit back and they have speed, you know? Lehner said. I think we see that we can play. Weve just got to stop changing, changing how we play.Washington turned up its pressure as the third period went on and eventually induced Evander Kane into a hooking penalty with under 6 1/2 minutes remaining.Johansson tied it just five seconds after the ensuing faceoff, redirecting Carlsons shot into traffic.Washington killed a tripping penalty on Beagle before the third ended.Then Johanssons winner came 2:38 into the extra period as he took a cross-ice pass from Dmitry Orlov and fired a one-time that beat Lehner over his left pad.I think they got a little bit tired, Johansson said of the goal. I was actually a little bit tired too. But I think (Evgeny Kuznetsov) and (Orlov) both made great plays to set that up, and I just tried to get it on net. It was a good feeling to see it go in.Game notes Buffalo C Jack Eichel finished the game despite appearing to hurt his left leg in a second-period tangle with Capitals D Orlov. It was Eichels fourth game back from a high ankle sprain in the same leg that forced him to miss two months. ...
