He hasnt contended in any of the majors and is closer to No. 5 in the world than No. 1. Hes not doing much better publicly for his unprompted criticism of golf in the Olympics. One victory changes everything.---JORDAN SPIETHAge: 23.Country: United States.World ranking: 3.Worldwide wins: 10.Majors: Masters (2015), U.S. Open (2015).2016 Majors: Masters-T2, US Open-T37, British Open-T30.Best of the year: Winning his first tournament of 2016 by eight shots at Kapalua.Backspin: He has two victories and nearly won a major, which is a good year for just about anyone who didnt win two majors and nearly won them all last year. A year ago, Spieth was going for the American Slam and was 37-under par in the majors. This year he is 9-over par.---DUSTIN JOHNSONAge: 32.Country: United States.World ranking: 2.Worldwide wins: 11.Majors: U.S. Open (2016).2016 Majors: Masters-T4, US Open-Won, British Open-T9.Best of the year: Winning his first major in the U.S. Open at Oakmont.Backspin: No other player has finished in the top 10 at all three majors this year, and Baltusrol is a big golf course that should be right up his power alley. In the last 100 years, only four players have won the U.S. Open and the PGA Championship in the same year -- Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan and Gene Sarazen.---ADAM SCOTTAge: 35 (turns 36 on Saturday of the PGA).Country: Australia.World ranking: 8.Worldwide wins: 27.Majors: Masters (2013).2016 Majors: Masters-T42, US Open-T18, British Open-T43Best of the year: Winning back-to-back to start the Florida Swing.Backspin: The majors have been nothing short of a disappointment for Scott, who has finished a combined 51 shots out of the lead in them. He might have peaked early with his back-to-back victories in Florida. Winning the PGA Championship, however, could set up as a strong candidate for PGA Tour player of the year.---JASON DAYAge: 28.Country: Australia.World ranking: 1.Worldwide wins: 12.Majors: PGA Championship (2015).2016 Majors: Masters-T10, US Open-T8, British Open-T22.Best of the year: A victory in The Players Championship, his third in a stretch of six tournaments.Backspin: Day has played his best golf in the majors on the weekend, but only after he is too far behind. He has failed to break par in the opening round of all three majors. As much time as he spends texting Tiger Woods, this would be a good time to join him as the only back-to-back PGA champions in stroke play.---PHIL MICKELSONAge: 46.Country: United States.World ranking: 13.Worldwide wins: 45.Majors: Masters (2004, 2006, 2010), British Open (2013), PGA Championship (2005).2016 Majors: Masters-Cut, US Open-Cut, British Open-2.Best of the year: His 267 at the British Open, the second-lowest score in Open history.Backspin: He missed the cut in the Masters and U.S. Open. He was named, but not charged, in a civil suit involving insider trading. And then he nearly won the British Open with one of his best performances in the majors. He won last time at Baltusrol in 2005. No telling what he will do this year.---HENRIK STENSONAge: 40.Country: Sweden.World ranking: 5.Worldwide wins: 18.Majors: British Open (2016).2016 Majors: Masters-T24, US Open-WD, British Open-Best of the year: Winning in Germany to end an 18-month victory drought.Backspin: Five times in the last 25 years, a player has won the final two majors of the year. Tiger Woods did it twice, along with Nick Price, Padraig Harrington and Rory McIlroy. Thats what Stenson will try to achieve. The way he played Sunday at Royal Troon, it looks as though he doesnt miss ever miss a shot with his irons.---TONY FINAUAge: 26.Country: United States.World ranking: 77.Worldwide wins: 1.Majors: None.2016 Majors: Masters-DNP, US Open-Cut, British Open-T18.Best of the year: Winning the Puerto Rico Open for his first PGA Tour title.Backspin: Every now and again, the PGA Championship delivers a champion no one expected. Keegan Bradley in 2011. Jason Dufner in 2003. Finau fits that mold. He is powerful and is quickly learning the other aspects of scoring. Baltusrol should be a good course for him.---BUBBA WATSONAge: 37.Country: United States.World ranking: 6.Worldwide wins: 10.Majors: Masters (2012, 2014).2016 Majors: Masters-T37, US Open-T51, British Open-T39.Best of the year: Winning at Riviera, his third straight year with a PGA Tour victory.Backspin: This is his last chance to salvage a poor year in the majors. He has only one sub-70 round in the majors and has yet to crack the top 35. He still has the Olympics, where he will be the highest-ranked American.---RICKIE FOWLERAge: 27.Country: United States.World ranking: 7.Worldwide wins: 6.Majors: None.2016 Majors: Masters-Cut, US Open-Cut.Best of the year: His spring break trip to the Bahamas.Backspin: Recent history would not seem to favor Fowler because only one player since 2004 has won the PGA Championship without having previously won that year. On the other hand, he could finally deliver when no one expects it. He went low at Baltusrol during a game with Jordan Spieth last August. Cheap Charlotte Hornets Jerseys .

CLEVELAND -- Francisco Lindor watched his hit squirt into the outfield and then danced his way down the first-base line before being engulfed by a wave of elated teammates.Three outs from defeat, the Indians pulled out an unlikely victory that felt bigger than one win.Lindor pushed an RBI single through Washingtons drawn-in infield with one out in the ninth inning, and Cleveland rallied for three runs in its final at-bat to stun closer Jonathan Papelbon and the Washington Nationals 7-6 on Tuesday night in a matchup of first-place teams with sights on October.Down two runs and in danger of their losing streak reaching a season-high four games, the Indians rallied against Papelbon (2-4), who did not get an out before he was pulled by manager Dusty Baker.Thats an ugly way to lose one, Baker said. Im at a loss for words.With the bases loaded, Lindor fisted his hit into right field to cap an inning that included a clutch double by rookie pinch-hitter Tyler Naquin, a pair of well-executed bunts by the Indians, a throwing error by Nationals first baseman Ryan Zimmerman and another big highlight by Lindor, one of the ALs rising stars.You never know, said Indians backup catcher Chris Gimenez, whose hustle to first might have rushed Zimmermans throw.Bryan Shaw (2-4) got two outs in the ninth and picked up the win as Cleveland won its first home game since July 10. The Indians had been on the road since then because of the All-Star break and the Republican National Convention.This was a sweet homecoming.Its huge, Lindor said. Weve been on the road for a while. Its nice to be home with our families, get that little off day and be in this clubhouse. It changes everything a little bit.Anthony Rendon hit a two-run homer and Wilson Ramos added a solo shot for the NL East-leading Nationals, just 4-6 since the All-Star break.The Indians, who overcame three errors, began their rally against Papelbon with a leadoff walk to Jose Ramirez. Naquin followed with an RBI double, and Gimenez dropped his bunt that Zimmerman fielded and threw past second baseman Daniel Murphy covering the bag, allowing Naquin to score the tying run on the error.Rajai Davis then intentionally popped up his bunt attempt, which dropped onto the infield grass for a single as the Nationals were shifting on the pitch.That couldve went either way, but fortunately, I was able to get enough of that ball to find some green, where tthe defense wasnt, Davis said.dddddddddddd Thats my goal.Baker then pulled Papelbon for Oliver Perez, who got Jason Kipnis to fly to left for the first out. Lindor fouled off one pitch before getting his single past Murphy to score Gimenez as the Indians poured out of the dugout.There were a few things Id like to have back, Papelbon said. Put all that together and it makes for an inning like you saw tonight.Before Clevelands comeback, Nationals starter Gio Gonzalez was in line to improve his unbeaten record against Cleveland. The left-hander allowed two runs and five hits in 6 1/3 innings and is 5-0 with a 1.07 ERA in eight career starts against the Indians.According to the Nationals, Gonzalezs 1.07 ERA is the lowest for any pitcher in major league history with at least eight starts against Cleveland.SCARY MOMENTA 75-year-old woman was taken to a hospital after being hit in the face with a foul ball off Murphys bat.Muir West was sitting down the right-field line -- and might have been blinded by the sun -- when she was struck by a hard shot from Murphy in the first inning. Fans sitting in her section immediately called for security and medical personnel, who rushed to her.A family member said Wests glasses were broken in the mishap and she received a cut on her face.Her wound was heavily bandaged before she was placed on a stretcher and taken to MetroHealth Hospital. There was no immediate word on her condition.TRAINERS ROOMNationals: Zimmerman returned from the disabled list after missing 13 games with a strained left rib cage and went 0 for 4.Indians: OF Michael Brantley feels encouraged after hitting in the cage for two days following a small procedure to relieve discomfort in his surgically repaired right shoulder.
