roup in Sundays final round of the Greater Gwinnett C

DULUTH, Ga. Kendrick Nunn Jersey . — Fun-loving Miguel Angel Jimenez might turn the Champions Tour into his personal cigar-and-wine club. Ever-serious Bernhard Langer keeps churning out sub-par rounds. Bad back and all, Fred Couples is thriving in the wind and cold rain. It makes for an enticing last group in Sundays final round of the Greater Gwinnett Championship. Jimenez, continuing his impressive tour debut, shot a 2-under 70 on Saturday and leads by one stroke after two days at TPC Sugarloaf. Langer and Couples each had a 68 in the second round. Langer is one stroke back of Jimenez and Couples is two back, setting up Sundays all-star final group. „Thats about as good a pairing as youre going to get,“ Couples said. „Im thrilled about that, to have a shot at winning.“ Added Langer: „It should be an exciting shootout. … Whoever is going to win tomorrow is going to play some good golf.“ Jimenez, Langer and Couples carried over their momentum after strong finishes last week in the Masters. Jimenez was fourth, Langer tied for eighth and Couples tied for 20th in Augusta. „When you come in from a major like the Masters and you are playing well there, you are like in tune, you know?“ Jimenez said. Jimenez began the day with a three-stroke lead following his tournament-record 65 on Friday. After the round he said he couldnt wait for „a nice, warm shower, a nice fat cigar and a glass of (wine).“ Langer was tied with Jimenez for the lead at 8 under entering Saturdays final hole. Jimenez had a birdie on No. 18. Langer missed putts for eagle and birdie before settling for par and his second straight 68. Sunday will mark the third straight round Langer and Jimenez have played in the same group. Before the tournament, Langer predicted Jimenez will „leave his mark“ on the Champions Tour. That opinion hasnt changed. „Hes very much the same, hes very steady and very methodical and really doesnt have too much of a weakness,“ Langer said. „Drives the ball well, hits some good irons and putts it very well so thats why hes on top of the leaderboard right now.“ Jimenez is trying to become the second straight player to win in his Champions Tour debut. Jeff Maggert won the tours last event in Saucier, Miss., on March 23. Jay Haas, Chien Soon Lu, Duffy Waldorf, Kenny Perry and Steve Pate are tied for fourth at 5 under. Haas, Lu and Waldorf had 68s, and Perry and Pate had 71s. Jimenez began his second round with a birdie, but he gave back three strokes on his next three holes. A double bogey on No. 4 dropped him to 5 under. Langer also had his troubles early. He was tied for 10th and was 1 over for the day through eight holes. Just as there were whispers that his streak of 17 consecutive sub-par rounds on the tour could be in jeopardy, Langer had his first birdie of the day on No. 10. That putt sparked a streak of four birdies in six holes. Couples moved into third place with a birdie on 17.

Bergeron scored his first goal at 11:50 of the first period, and the Bruins broke the game open with goals by Carl Soderberg and Bergeron in a 13-second span early in the third. Tuukka Rask stopped 28 shots in posting his NHL-leading seventh shutout. Chicago, fourth in the Western Conference, remained one point short of clinching a playoff berth for the sixth straight season. The Eastern Conference-leading Bruins rebounded from a 2-1 shootout loss to the Montreal Canadiens on Monday that ended Bostons 12-game winning streak. In their last 14 games, the Bruins have outscored opponents 51-19. The Blackhawks, the NHLs highest-scoring team, played without Patrick Kane, the Conn Smythe Trophy winner last season as the post-season MVP. Chicagos second leading scorer is expected to miss the rest of the regular season because of a knee injury. In Game 6 of the Stanley Cup finals, the Bruins allowed two goals in the last 76 seconds as the Blackhawks clinched their second championship in four seasons with a 3-2 victory. Brian Bickell tied it with 1:16 to play aand Dave Bolland scored the winner with 59 seconds left. Sherman Douglas Jersey. But on Thursday, the Blackhawks had few good scoring opportunities. Their last solid bid came when Jeremy Morin unleashed a hard, 30-foot shot from the left side that a sprawling Rask plucked out of the air with his glove. Bergeron began the scoring when he tipped in Matt Bartkowskis shot from the left point as the puck eluded goalie Corey Crawford. Soderberg made it 2-0 with his 14th of the season at 5:28 of the third period. Johnny Boychuks shot was stopped by Bruins forward Chris Kelly in front, and it went to Soderberg, who shot quickly from 15 feet. Just 13 seconds later, Bergeron was credited with his 25th goal after a video review. Crawford had gone behind his net, and when he tried to get back in front, he knocked the net out of position as the puck was heading toward it. Officials ruled that the puck would have gone into the net had it been in place. NOTES: A moment of silence was held before the game for firefighters, Lt. Edward J. Walsh and Michael R. Kennedy, who died Wednesday in a fire in the Back Bay section of Boston — not far from TD Garden. … Bergeron has a career-best, five-game goal streak. … The Bruins are 6-0 when they take a 1-0 lead into the third period. ‚ ‚ ‚
