Centennial Oregon daily emerald worldwide http://darkwing. uoregon.edu/~ode Twentysomethings leave mark on British Open ■ GOLF: Eight of the top 19 finishers at Royal Troon were under 30 The Associated Press TROON, Scotland — Justin Leonard’s British Open victory was just another indication of the changing of the guard in golf, Leonard, 25, became the third major championship winner this year under age 30, joining Masters champion Tiger Woods, 21, and 27-year-old U.S. Open winner Ernie Els. And the trend went deeper. Darren Clarke, Jim Furyk, Padraig Harrington, Retief Goosen, Lee Westwood, Robert Allenby — all in their 20s — had strong showings at Royal Troon, where eight of the top 19 finishers were under 30. At the same time, perennial contenders in the majors like Nick Faldo, Greg Norman, Nick Price, Bernhard Langer, Seve Ballesteros, Ian Woosnam and Colin Mont gomerie were never a factor. In fact, except for Montgomerie they have been a factor in none of the three major championships tins year. And where were the familiar names at Troon like Corey Pavin, Payne Stewart, Mark Brooks and Tom Lehman? They were in the field but they never challenged. For the young, winning seems contagious. They are not in awe of the men who have dominated the game the last decade. ' “Maybe going in there today, having seen Tiger and Ernie do it,” Leonard said, “I thought it was OK to go out and win a tour nament like this even being the age I am.” He won it with the kind of round that will make other play ers take notice. Of the 16 players who started the final round under par, Leonard’s 65 was the only round in the 60s. “This win won’t change Justin one bit,” his coach, Randy Smith, said in Dallas. “He’ll still be the same great kid. He’ll still work hard. He’ll win some more ma jors.” Then Smith said something that must be crossing the minds of Norman, Faldo and Price, who have 57 British Opens and six victories among them. “Everybody talks about Tiger Woods,” Smith said. “But there are some other kids who can play, too. Remember, Justin is only 25.” And remember that Phil Mick elson and Paul Stankowski are both only 27. Leonard’s closing round ranks with the 67 by Faldo in the 1996 Masters, the 64 by Norman in the 1993 British Open and the 63 by Johnny Miller in the 1973 U.S. Open among great closings rounds in major championships. “Just to be able to come through with the tournament on the line, that's the kind of confidence I’ll be able to take away from here,” Leonard said. One of the best indicators of the best players in golf every two years is the Ryder Cup standings. And with less than a month to go before this year’s teams are locked in, youth abounds. Three of the top five American players — Woods, Leonard and Furyk — are in the youth brigade, as are three of the top seven on the European team — Clarke, Westwood and Per-Ulrik Johans son. Any concerns there might be about the lack of Ryder Cup expe rience among the young players is calmed by the performance Leonard turned in at the British Open. NFL: Sanders seventh on all-time rushing list with 11,725 yards ■ Continued from Page 5 important player for this team for the past eight seasons. And with this deal, we’re de lighted that Lions fans will have the opportu nity to watch Barry for years to come.” Sanders won the NFL rushing title last sea son with 1,553 yards, becoming the first back in league history to rush for 1,500 yards or better in three straight seasons. Sanders also was the first back to rush for more than 1,000 yards in eight straight seasons, and the first to rush for more than 1,000 yards in each of his first eight seasons. The 1,553 yards was the second-best total of Sanders’ career. He ran for 1,883 yards in 1994. “I'm pleased that we were able to work this out, and I’m happy to have Barry in camp,” said first-year coach Bobby Ross. “Now we have to get to work. He has some catching up to do, and I’m anxious to start working with him.” Ross previously expressed concern about Sanders missing a mini-camp and the start of training camp, although teammates were not as concerned. “He’ll get here when he gets here,” Herman Moore said Sunday before the signing was an nounced. Quarterback Scott Mitchell agreed. “I honestly haven’t been thinking about it at all,” he said. “We’ve got enough other stuff that we’ve got to be thinking about while we’re here.” Sanders, who won the Heisman Trophy in 1988 at Oklahoma State, is seventh on the NFL’s career rushing list with 11,725 yards and trails Marcus Allen by only 13 yards. Walter Payton, who played 13 seasons with the Chicago Bears, holds the career rushing record of 16,726 yards. $ i k off posters Bring in this coupon for $2.00 off any | poster in stock.
