ARDMORE, Pa. -- Third place at the Masters. Tied for second at the U.S. Open. And thats just this year. Jason Days too young to get saddled with that dreaded Best Player Never To Win a Major label, so he might as well go ahead and win one. "As long as I keep knocking on the door," he said Sunday, "I think Ill win a major here soon." It sure looks inevitable after watching him this week at Merion Golf Club. Rounds of 70, 74, 68 and 71 can be worn liked a badge of honour at a championship in which the winning score was Justin Roses 1-over 281. Day finished two shots back, tied with Phil Mickelson. "At the start of the week everyone thought we were going to rip it up," Day said. "But I just knew that somewhere around even par was going to win it, and I just had to stick in there. So I was very patient with myself and happy with how I handled myself, and now I just got to keep giving myself shots at majors." The 25-year-old Day has played in five majors. Hes finished out of the top 10 only once. The Australian debuted with a tie for 60th at the 2010 British Open. Since then, his record is the envy of many of his colleagues: tied for 10th at the 2010 PGA Championship, tied for second behind champion Charl Schwartzel at the 2011 Masters, outright second behind Rory McIlroy at Congressional in 2011. This year, hes the only player to finish in the top 10 in both majors. Day spent Sunday hovering near the top, unable to break through because he kept cancelling himself out. Birdie at No. 4, bogey at No. 5. Birdie at No. 10, bogey at No. 11. He was one off the lead when he got to 18, but he put his approach in the bunker and missed a 5-footer for par. No shame there. No one birdied the finishing hole over the final two rounds. It was the shortest major championship course in nine years, but the scores were typical U.S. Open. "I think that every club in the bag got a workout this week," he said. "So I think that it would be sad for it not to come back (here) to a U.S. Open." His best shot came right after his worst one. He went from rough to creek at No. 11, then nearly put his next shot into the creek as well. But he holed out from the nasty rough for bogey. From there, he had near misses, when he wasnt scrambling: "Nearly made the birdie on 13. ... Nearly holed a good putt on 15. ... Had two good saves on 16 and 17." Too many near misses to win. He probably knew it when he tossed his club after the miss at 13. Or when he put both hands over his head after the miss at 15. All of which means hes still 14 victories behind Tiger Woods when it comes to majors. Day ended his remarks by referencing the worlds No. 1 player. "You got to understand that, late Sunday of a U.S. Open -- and U.S. Open courses are very hard -- you cant do anything but kind of grind (it) out," Day said. "Like Tiger said at the start of the week, you just got to keep grinding those 10 footers and just grind away. So I was happy with how I played."Hydro Flask Suomi .Y. - General manager Billy King says the Brooklyn Nets are looking to add a big man and confirmed the team worked out centre Jason Collins, who would become the first openly gay active NBA player if signed.

And I get to pick him on Sunday night.The Barclays ended U.S. qualifying for the eight automatic spots, and while there was a flutter of excitement from Rickie Fowler, there was no change among the top eight when Fowler collapsed over the final four holes. Zach Johnson wound up getting the final spot, joined by Brandt Snedeker, Brooks Koepka, PGA champion Jimmy Walker, Patrick Reed, Phil Mickelson, Jordan Spieth and U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson.Europes nine automatic qualifiers were set one week earlier.Now comes the hard part for Love and European captain Darren Clarke.Clarke makes his three choices Tuesday. On a team that already features five Ryder Cup rookies, he is looking hard at experience and appears set on Martin Kaymer and Lee Westwood. Two rookies who stand out are Russell Knox, a two-time PGA Tour winner this season who is No. 20 in the world, making him the sixth-highest ranked European; and Thomas Pieters, the Belgian loaded with power who won in Denmark on Sunday.Also being considered is Luke Donald, who is slowly rounding into form. Donald has two runner-up finishes in the last five months, and he has a 10-4-1 record in his four previous Ryder Cups.In a change this year, Love will have two more FedEx Cup playoff events before having to select three players. The fourth player wont be announced until the Tour Championship ends Sept. 25 and players head for Hazeltine for the Ryder Cup the following week.His reference to the top 100 was the FedEx Cup -- the remaining field at the Deutsche Bank Championship this week -- and 59 Americans were among those 100.Love mentioned the Billy Horschel Rule as to why so many might be under consideration. Two years ago, right after tthe picks were made, Horschel won the BMW Championship and the Tour Championship to capture the FedEx Cup.ddddddddddddSo what to do?Love stressed the importance of the eight qualifiers, at one point saying it was time for them to take ownership of the team. Love was part of the Ryder Cup task force that spread the picks over the length of the FedEx Cup so the U.S. team could get its hottest players. He didnt specify what constituted a hot player, nor was there any way of knowing such form would carry over to the matches when they start Sept. 30.Theres a lot of things to measure, he said. I think one of the best questions somebody asked me when we were trying to make a decision on picks in 2012 ... is it easier for that guy to stay hot or for that other guy to get hot?He also said he has hired Scouts Inc. to provide statistics on various players -- how they would fare at a big course like Hazeltine, how they would partner and how they would fare depending on the team they are playing.We know two, maybe three, of our four are going to be pretty easy picks, Love said. But handling that last one, this is new territory for all of us. Yeah, a lot of pressure on two guys, three guys, going into the Tour Championship. Not only are they playing for the FedEx Cup and for a lot of money, trying to win the last tournament of the year, but they have got this Ryder Cup thing hanging over them. So its going to be fun.It was the second time in three Ryder Cup years -- both times when Love was captain -- that no one qualified in the final week. Love said his statistics company predicted that would be the case this year, even though Fowler was poised to qualify until dropping three shots on the last four holes.Love said Fowler was trending up with how he played at The Barclays and tournaments coming up. Then again, he went on to mention Ryan Moore, Sean OHair, Gary Woodland, Jason Kokrak and even Jamie Lovemark.We have a lot of tough decisions ahead of us, he said. ' ' '
