| | Asian qualifying for the British open | | 2008-03-27 00:10:18 | | Malaysia's Danny Chia will make his second appearance at the British Open this July after carding a three-under-par 69 for the second successive round at Asia's International Final Qualifying tournament on Wednesday. The 35-year-old sank crucial birdie putts on the 16th and 17th at the Sentosa Golf Club to lead all qualifiers on six-under-par 138, securing a second trip to the sport's oldest major after playing in the 2005 Open at St. Andrews. Chia, who won the Taiwan Open in 2002, will be teeing off at Royal Birkdale on July 17 along with Australia's Adam Blyth, Singapore's Lam Chih Bing and Angelo Que of the Philippines as the four qualifiers from the 64-player field. "I didn't putt well today but I played good," Chia told reporters. "I played within myself and made two birdies coming back when I needed them the most. "It's going to be very exciting to go back to the Open. I was there in 2005 and hopefully I've learned from that and will use it in Royal Birkdale." Blyth, wh | | By: The Golf Blog | | |
| | Asian qualifying for the open | | 2008-03-26 01:53:13 | | Malaysian golfer Danny Chia, Angelo Que of the Philippines and England's Yasin Ali shared a three-way tie for the lead after day one of Asia's International Qualifying for the 2008 Open. Chia, an Asian Tour regular, sank six birdies against three bogeys at Singapore's Sentosa Golf Club on his way to a three-under-par 69 on Tuesday while Que enjoyed five birdies. Ali had been clear of the field as he stood on the 18th tee at five-under but found water with a drive which led to a double bogey. Just behind them, Filipino Antonio Lascuna, Ben Leong of Malaysia, who scored a hole-in-one, and Japanese duo Tomohiro Kondo and Keiichiro Fukabori shot 70s to stay in the hunt for the four tickets at stake to The Open at Royal Birkdale, England in July at the two-day qualifier. Ali chose to look to the positive, despite his disappointing finish. "I played pretty solid except for a few loose shots. The shots I dropped today were water balls.

| | Fox Soccer Channel Spoils Americans With Triple Header Of Euro Qualifying | | 2007-10-13 16:10:00 | | American soccer fans hungry for Euro 2008 qualifying are today treated to three live matches on Fox Soccer Channel. First, we get the juggernaut France versus Faroe Islands, at 11am EDT. Sure to be a nail-biter and one that will be of particular interest to all the Faroe Islands expatriates living stateside. Immediately afterwards, at 1pm, we are treated to what is sure to be a fierce duel between Sweden and Liechtenstein. And just when you thought it was safe to go outside and enjoy the sunshine, at 3pm follows a veritable clash of the titans between Slovenia and Albania.Seriously, why does FSC even bother? I'm sure they must realize how absurd it is to show these games? I know they come through with some other quality programming, such as live EPL and Serie A coverage (though sadly, no more Bundesliga or Ligue Un) but what exactly is the point of this? So they can tell advertisers they have Euro qualifying matches? Might be something to that one, but from the perspective of true U.S.-based soccer aficionados, I don't think I'm going out on a limb by kindly asking them to spare us this madness. Do what you have to to get us more meaningful games. If you can't, drop it altogether. We'll get over it, I promise. | | By: The Soccer Source | | |
| | Euro '08 Qualifying: Matchday 15/16 Preview | | 2007-10-08 17:42:00 | | Scotland face a crucial home game against Ukraine Saturday in a highly competitive Group B. A win can--if my math is correct--knock the Ukrainians out. Scotland then travel to Georgia for the second game. Man U's Darren Fletcher is out for both games and Celtic's Paul Hartley seems likely to join him on the injured list. But the Scots are in the driver's seat and "control their own destiny" for qualifying for their first major tournament since 1998. If they win their remaining three games, they're in. Of course the third game happens to be against second-placed Italy at Hampden Park. Throw in the fact that Italy and third-placed France both have cupcake schedules the rest of the way (both still have to play Faroe Islands, though France's final game is in Kiev--then again Ukraine should be out of their misery at that point) and qualification looks far from certain.Ireland faces a "must win" at home against Germany, but even if they do win qualification is a longshot. Germany and the Czech Republic are the class of Group D by a wide margin (22 and 20 points, respectively, versus Ireland's 14. Germany even has a game in hand). The Czechs only game is at Munich next Wednesday so if by some miracle Ireland defeat Germany they could make up ground on the Czechs. Like I said, it's a longshot.Northern Ireland currently sit second in Group F, but Denmark and Sweden--placed third and fourth, respectively--have two games in hand. The Green & White Army has three extremely tough games remaining: at Sweden, hosting Denmark and at Spain. Ouch. Talk about longshots. N'Ire is idle Oct. 13 round and face Sweden Oct. 17.And England? The Oct. 17 game in Moscow is the one everybody's looking toward and rightly so. If England lose to Estonia at (new) Wembley Saturday, McClaren should be fired then and there. I think England will win both games, despite the artificial turf they're due to play on in Moscow. Just expect to see a lot of injuries. Group E leaders Croatia face pesky Israel at Zagreb Saturday.In Group C, Greece and Turkey face off in a crucial game for both sides, but that's not until Oct. 17. Greece will be boosted by the return of Bolton's Stelios Giannakopoulos from injury. That group is very crowded and besides the two aforementioned teams, Norway also has a legitimate shot at winning it. Bosnia-Herzegovina is still alive, but to qualify for their first major tournament, they'll need some luck. For starters, they'll need some points from Saturday's game at Athens. They'll then need to beat Norway in Sarajevo Oct. 17.The biggest fixture is undoubtedly going to take place Saturday in Constanta, Romania, where the top two teams in Group G, Holland and Romania, face off. The teams are tied at 20 points from eight games and both have a game in hand over Bulgaria, the only other team that has a reasonable--or even mathematical--shot at qualifying. Bulgaria have 18 points and play only one game, at Albania, Oct. 17. Update: Liverpool striker Dirk Kuyt will miss the game for Holland due to a hamstring injury he picked up in Sunday's Tottenham game.The two matchdays will undoubtedly prove decisive for several squads, with some getting eliminated and others perhaps managing to book their tickets to Switzerland and Austria already. We'll soon know more. | | By: The Soccer Source | | |

| | Monza qualifying Report: Alonso breaks tifosi hearts | | 2007-09-12 11:28:00 | | Fernando Alonso dominated Saturday's qualifying to grab a comfortable pole position for tomorrow's Italian Grand Prix. Leading the way in the final qualifying segment, the McLaren driver actually backed off during his final flying lap after his team-mate Lewis Hamilton failed to beat the 1:21.997 Alonso had set on his previous flyer. The McLaren rookie finished 0.037s adrift of his team-mate, however, the deficit could have been more as Alonso was even faster on in the first sector of the lap he aborted. Felipe Massa saved face for Ferrari, claiming third place on the grid. The Brazilian, though, faces a tough task tomorrow to win the race as he was half a second off the pace of the McLarens. Nick Heidfeld finished fourth for BMW with Kimi Raikkonen fifth and Robert Kubica sixth. Qualifying Report: Bright autumnal sunshine shone down on Monza as the drivers tried to concentrate on the real first job of the weekend - qualifying - as opposed to filling out forms and sending their e.mail inboxes to Max Mosley and the FIA. The ambient temperature was at 27C with the track at 32C as Sebastien Vettel took his Toro Rosso to the first provisional pole of 1:24.186. With a new B-spec car having now passed the crash test the Spyker team were hoping to get close to the Toro Rossos, but it wasn't to be. Sakon Yamomoto spun his car under braking for Turn 1 and immediately knocked off the front wing, but neither Spyker was about to dislodge a Toro Ross. Kimi Raikkonen, having escaped mercifully unscathed (both driver and engine) from a high-speed shunt in morning practice, was out early in Ferrari chassis No.262 to make sure all the bits had been put back in the right place. He needn't have worried. The Ferrari crossed the line in 1:22.673 to take P1. Lewis Hamilton wrenched this off him for McLaren using a set of hard tyres, but it was World Champion Fernando Alonso who looked in the best form having been fastest in morning practice by four tenths. He duly took P1 with a 1:21 | | By: F1 news,result,tickets,tours | | |

Raikkonen after slight mistake in his final run will be on P3 and Alonso on P4. Kubica got better of Heidfeld this time after clocking identical times in Q2.Both Renaults qualified in top 10, as did Trulli and Rosberg. This was excellent qualifying for Davidson. He will start from P11 after setting some stunning last sector times.

| | A controversial Pole for Fernando Alonso - Hungarian GP - Qualifying | | 2007-08-04 17:14:00 | | A hollow Pole Position for Fernando Alonso Ron Dennis was not smiling at the end of the qualifying session despite the fact that Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton locked out the front row ahead of tomorrow’s 70-lap Hungarian Grand Prix. As if there was not enough controversy at McLaren Mercedes at the moment, the final second of qualifying would bring yet more. Lewis Hamilton held the provisional pole position following his first run in qualifying, but heading to the pits to take his second and final set of tyres, he found team-mate Alonso sitting there in the pit box, tyres changed but not moving. We do not know if Alonso was instructed to wait in the pits, or took his own decision to wait. The end result however was that Alonso was able to get back out and start his final flying lap, while Hamilton was unable to make it around in time... A strange situation as Alonso would complete the final flying lap and claim the Pole Position from Hamilton. The championship leader would deflec | | By: F1 news,result,tickets,tours | | |
| | Formula 1 - Hungarian GP - Qualifying - Massa P14 Only ... | | 2007-08-04 15:06:00 | | Alonso stole the pole position from Hamilton in his final run. It looked though that Alonso's final pit stop delayed Hamilton and prevented him from making one more qualifying run. Ron Dennis did not seem too happy after the session and that says something when he has both cars on the front row... P3 went to Nick Heidfeld and P4 to Kimi Raikkonen. This is probably the first time this season there is no Ferrari in top 3 on the grid. Nico Rosberg will start from respectable P5. The story of the session must be Felipe Massa not making it to Q3.Not really sure what happened there. He stopped at the end of the pitlane just before his final Q2 to run. His crew pushed him back to restart him. He then went for his qualifying run but failed to break into top 10. He will have to start from P14. Fisichella is on P9 at the moment but he is under investigation for blocking Sakon Yamamoto.Qualifying was a disaster for Honda, they did not make it to Q2.

| | Formula 1 - European GP - Qualifying | | 2007-07-21 15:38:00 | | Kimi Raikkonen has his 2nd pole position of the season, ahead of Alonso and Massa. The story of the session however was the front right wheel failure and resulting heavy crash of Lewis Hamilton (video).The session was red flagged for quite some time. Hamilton was stretched away in the ambulance. It was not very clear in what condition Hamilton was. But Ron Dennis confirmed that "Lewis is fine. There are no injuries or broken bones but he will be kept for a couple of hours observation just as a precaution. We had a gun failure - the right hand wheel was not on tight. But it was not a car failure thankfully, it was the gun's fault. It is far too early to say whether he can race tomorrow. Thankfully he did not lose consciousness. We'll make a decision about whether he can race after a couple of hours observation."On the track, BMWs booked their usual places on the grid behind Alonso and Ferraris.

Kimi just snatched P2 from Alonso. Massa right behind on P4. It was very close between these 4. But was close even down the order, less than a second between top 9...Ralf Schumacher had a run of the season so far and will start from P6. Two zeros disapeared from 2007 stats - both Ralf and Wurz outqualified their team mates for the first time this year. Big disapoitment for Nico Rosberg.

Webber and Rosberg did well to get P6 and P7. Fisichella finished 9th and Trulli 10th, again comfortably outqualifying his team mate Ralf Schumacher...
