wn the stretch, but Bowles has said | Forum

TROON, Scotland -- Camilo Villegas of Colombia pulled out of the Olympics on Monday because he is trying to keep his job on the PGA Tour. Claude Giroux Jersey .Villegas had indicated for the last two weeks that he wanted to be in Rio for golfs return to the Olympics for the first time since 1904. While he considered the Zika virus -- Villegas and his wife are trying to start a family -- his main concern was work.Having pulled out the Barbasol Championship last week with a thumb injury, he is No. 146 in the FedEx Cup standings. Only the top 125 advance to the playoffs and keep full cards for the following season, and Villegas has only four tournaments left. He is playing the RBC Canadian Open this week.This is an incredibly difficult decision for me, but ultimately I have to do whats best for my career, Villegas said.He is the 21st male golfer to withdraw from the Olympics, and he joins Brendon de Jonge of Zimbabwe in citing his job security for pulling out.Right now, I have not secured my PGA Tour card for next season and I have several opportunities to improve my FedEx Cup standing, one of which overlaps with the Olympics, he said. I have waited until the last minute to withdraw as I have been working hard to secure my playing privileges so I can continue to represent Colombia on the PGA Tour.By withdrawing, Colombia will not have a male golfer in the Olympics next month.Villegas would be replaced by Jose-Felipe Lima of Portugal, which now will have two players in the 60-man field.The 21 players who have pulled out include the top four in the world -- Jason Day, Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy. The Olympics at least will have two of the major champions from this year in Masters winner Danny Willett of England and British Open champion Henrik Stenson of Sweden.

After the whistle, Thornton skated the length of the ice, pulled Orpik to the ice from behind and punched him in the face several times. FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- The Jets gave Ryan Fitzpatrick a one-year, $12 million contract in July, yet they could be on the verge of benching him for a second time.?Nevertheless, general manager Mike Maccagnan claimed hes not second-guessing the decision to re-sign Fitzpatrick after a contract stalemate that dominated the offseason.No, I have no regrets about bringing Ryan back, Maccagnan said Wednesday, speaking to reporters for the first time since training camp.Fitzpatrick, coming off a career year in which he set the franchise record with 31 touchdown passes, was benched after a 1-5 start. He got the starting job back because Geno Smith suffered a season-ending knee injury.Now, Fitzpatricks status is again up in the air.He sat out Sunday with a mild knee sprain, as Bryce Petty made his first NFL start -- a 9-6 loss to the Rams.Coach Todd Bowles has declined to name a starter, saying he will make that announcement Monday, when the Jets (3-7) return from their bye week. Its conceivable that Fitzpatrick, who has a league-high 13 interceptions, could be sent to the bench again.Maccagnan defended the decision to re-sign him Wednesday.?I think going into it, we felt very good about the season Ryan had previously, he said. I have no regrets from that standpoint.Of course, I think everybody, and Ryan included, would probably say he holds himself to a faiirly high standard. Brian Propp Flyers Jersey. Im sure there are aspects that he would like to ... we all would like to have better success on the field as a team. But from the standpoint of bringing Ryan back, no, I dont have regrets on that.Maccagnan declined to comment on the looming quarterback decision, saying Bowles has the final say. The GM said his role is limited to consulting with the head coach.From my standpoint, you like to see young players play, but you also want to make sure theyre ready for that, he said, alluding to Petty. To me, its a more complicated decision than some people realize.With the team out of playoff contention, fans and media are calling for Petty to start. The former fourth-round pick could emerge as the 2017 starter if he plays well down the stretch, but Bowles has said he will start the player that gives the Jets the best chance to win.Fitzpatrick and Smith will be free agents this offseason, leaving Petty and rookie Christian Hackenberg as the only Jets QBs under contract for 2017.Its the biggest question surrounding the team.Its not necessarily unnerving, Maccagnan said. We feel good. We have two young quarterbacks to work with and grow and develop, and well see how we address this going forward. ' ' '
