<br />
After a two-plus hour rain delay that began at 1:15 p.m., play resumed under clearer and sunny skies with Danny Lee clinging to a two-shot lead (-17) ahead of playing partner Andrew Putnam. <br />
<br />
As all players were in place by 3:30 p.m. to resume play, Lee birdied the 7th hole and extended his lead back up to three shots ahead of the field. <br />
<br />
Lee went on to par the 8th hole while Putnam fell behind with a double-bogey. <br />
<br />
No sooner had Lee dropped his putt when both second-round leader and local favorite Chesson Hadley and playing partner Josh Broadaway each eagled the par-5 ninth to make things interesting as they put themselves only three shots behind Lee. <br />
<br />
As both Lee and Putnam missed opportunities to put themselves in any position to score eagles to end their front nine, they both finished with par as Lee stood at -18, followed closely behind by Loar (-16), Hadley (-15), and Broadaway (-15).<br />

<b>1 p.m.</b> <br />
<br />
As the entire field is now off the first tee at TPC Wakefield Plantation in Raleigh, N.C., the chase to catch 54-hole leader Danny Lee is on. <br />
<br />
After three holes, Lee is even and sitting at -17 while his playing partner Andrew Putnam has gotten one stroke closer at -14. <br />
<br />
The biggest movers near the top of the board include Len Mattiace as his 3-under par through seven holes has brought him to within five shots of the lead. <br />
<br />
Can he pull of an 8 or 9-under par final round to put pressure on Lee? <br />
<br />
Or will it be Ed Loar or Chesson Hadley, who are both even through three and five holes respectively, making a big run on the back nine?<br />
<br />
Throw in the possibility of inclement weather and who knows what will happen.<br />
<br />
More to come soon.<br />

<br />
The final round of play at the 2013 Rex Hospital Open should provide for some of the best play and excitement the event has seen at TPC Wakefield Plantation in Raleigh, N.C. in recent years.<br />
<br />
While Danny Lee leads the field by four strokes after three rounds of play, course conditions have allowed for scores of at least 6-under par and higher to be posted by multiple players every day.<br />
<br />
Lee will need to continue his hot play in order to hold onto the lead to become the first third and final-round leader to win the tournament since Kevin Johnson did it back in 2009.<br />
<br />
Raleigh's Chesson Hadley sits five strokes back, but has been near the top of the leaderboard throughout the first three days of play. <br />
<br />
It would not be a surprise for this year's tournament to end in a playoff as it did last year when James Hahn outlasted Scott Parel to win the tournament title.<br />

<br />
Danny Lee used his birdie run during his front nine to eventually put himself into a tie for the lead (-10) with Chesson Hadley who finished the day carding a 2-under par 69. <br />
<br />
However, Lee pulled his tee shot on the par-5 ninth, and finished his round with a bogey to end up tied for second place, sitting at -9 along with Jason Gore and Edward Loar. <br />
<br />
Loar’s 6-under par score of 65 was low round of the day and was matched by Scott Dunlap (-8), Len Mattiace (-6), and Tom Hoge (-5). <b></b><br />

<b>3:30 p.m. <br /><br />Jason Gore makes run at lead, Hadley hanging on </b><br />
<br />
Tour veteran Jason Gore continued to make a run at the lead early during the second round of play at the 2013 Rex Hospital Open on Friday. <br />
<br />
Gore finished his round with a par and finished with a 3-under par 68 to add to his first round of 65 that put him into the lead at the time. <br />
<br />
As Hadley continued to maintain his steady play throughout his round, he found himself back in the lead managing to drop a few birdies to jump ahead of Gore (-9), while newcomer to the top of the board, Danny Lee (-8) jumped past Andrew Putnam (-8).<br />

<br />
Erik Flores dropped the first hole-in-one at this year’s tournament on the 16th hole just past 10 a.m. on Friday as putts continued to drop for others at the time as well.<br />
<br />
Jason Gore and Cameron Beckman put up low numbers quickly, scoring birdies early in their second rounds to take the lead at 10-under par before coming back down just after first-round leader Andrew Putnam teed off.<br />
<br />
Putnam's game cooled off a little during the latter part of his second round which had Gore and Hadley leading at -8.<br />
<br />
Look back at Thursday first-round stat pack: <br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Putnam and Beckman hit 100% GIR on Thursday </li>
<li>Chesson Hadley ranked 3rd in putting – 1.467 putts/hole to put him at -8 overall </li>
<li>Longest recorded drive: Clodomiro Carranza – 385 yards – 9th hole </li>
<li>Putnam was tied for 29th, dropping the ball at a 1.667 putt/hole rate</li>
</ul>

<br />
Three-time major champion and Hall of Fame golfer Billy Casper toured Rex Hospital and visited with patients and doctors in the run-up to this week’s Rex Hospital Open on Tuesday. <br />
<br />
Casper, an inductee into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1978 and PGA Hall of Fame in 1982, visited the heart station, catheterization lab and a heart floor and learned about the hospital’s anticipated expansion of a new heart and vascular tower recently approved to be built. Funds from this year’s Rex Open will benefit Rex Heart & Vascular services and programs. <br />
<br />
The visit to Rex marked another stop during a busy week for Casper, who also serves as co-chair of this year’s Rex Hospital Open, along with Captrust’s Jimmy Talton. <br />
<br />
A Masters and two-time U.S. Open champion, Casper will also host an exclusive dinner event at 6 p.m. on Saturday at TPC Wakefield Plantation. <br />
<br />
The dinner event begins with a reception followed by a five-course dinner during which Casper will recount stories of his playing experiences, including his relationships with golf legends Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player. <br />
<br />
He will also be signing copies of his book, “The Big Three and Me.” <br />
<br />
The dinner costs $150 per plate and space is limited. <br />

As the morning groups at the Rex Hospital Open finish making their way around the course at TPC Wakefield Plantation in Raleigh, N.C., on Thursday, local product Chesson Hadley used his hometown discount to take the early lead, carding an 8-under par 63.<br />
<br />Hadley was closely followed by former two-time U.S. Open winner Lee Janzen whose 6-under score of 65 kept him close, using up his stored up shot-making abilities after being DQ’d back in June from a U.S. Open-qualifying round for wearing metal spikes.<br />
<br />Kent Jones equaled Janzen’s 65 as the board was littered with 50-plus players who shot under par to set the standard for what looks to be a very exciting week of PGA golf to take place in the Triangle.<br />
<br />As much as many were scoring low on Thursday, others struggled including two-time champion Kyle Thompson, walked off the course disappointed after carding an 8-over par 79, while 2009 champion Kevin Johnson finished at even par (71). <br />

As afternoon groups begin to tee it up on a sunny day with temperatures in the low 80’s and a slight breeze, conditions are ideal for players and spectators alike, local golf fans should filter in en masse to take in local junior product, amateur Carter Jenkins, who will tee off at 2 p.m. on the 10th hole. <br /><br />He shot an 8-under 63 at TPC to earn his shot at getting an exemption to tee it up against the pros, hoping to make the cut and improve on his first experience at the Rex when he fell below the cut line, scoring rounds of 76 and 80 accordingly. <br />

<br />
The Carolina RailHawks host Chivas USA in the Round-of-16 match of the 100th Hunt U.S. Open Cup tournament at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, N.C. on Wednesday. <br />
<br />
With a 2-0 win over the LA Galaxy back on May 29th, the RailHawks earned a return rematch with Chivas, who beat Carolina 2-1 in last year’s U.S. Open Cup meeting, the first-ever competitive match between the two clubs. <br />
<br />
The Goats tallied the 2-1 victory over the RailHawks in that game on penalty kick scored during stoppage time, making this year’s Carolina squad want to advance to the quarterfinals even more. <br />
<br />
“We have a lot of guys (back) from last year,” Kupono Low said. <br />
<br />
“I thought last season we did very well going forward – we scored a lot of goals. With the lead we gave up some of the goals later in the game, so this year we’re focusing on playing the whole 90 minutes, being a little more disciplined. Defensively, that’s created the success we’ve had this season.” <br />
<br />
Carolina comes into the game with a 2-2-1 (W-T-L) record in their last five games while Chivas has struggled with a 1-0-4 record during the same span. <br />
<br />
“They have a little fire in them, they want to do something well in this Open Cup,” Low continued. <br />
<br />
“For us, and potentially teams that don’t finish in the top of the table for the MLS, there’s a lot at stake. I’m sure there’s players on their team still fighting for starting positions, same as ours. It’s gonna’ be a battle.” <br />
<br />
The RailHawks will continue to show why they are currently atop the NASL standings and hope to use their success in Cup play to prove that they belong competing against any team. <br />
<br />
“Teams like us in the NASL, we put a lot into it (US Open Cup),” Low continued. <br />
<br />
“It’s our opportunity to get recognized on a higher stage and it also gives us the opportunity to get us into the Champions League. Lower divisions like us are fighting for that and we put all of our chips on the table and go for that Open Cup. It’s going to come down to the final minute to decide who’s going to go on to the next round.” <br />
<br />
The winner of Wednesday’s game advances to the tournament’s quarterfinal round against the winner of the match between Real Salt Lake and the Charleston Battery.<br />

<br />
The Duke Blue Devils led Triangle-area teams in earning the the No. 2 seed in the Midwest Region while the North Carolina Tar Heels landed the No. 8 seed in the South Region, and the NC State Wolfpack earned the the No. 8 seed in the East Region.<br />
<br />
All three teams possess the ability to reach the Sweet 16 round of
play and beyond, but will all face formidable opposition in advancing out of the
first two rounds of play.<br />
<br />
March Madness is finally here and every team is ready to go.<br />
<br />
Let the games begin!<br />
<br />
---<br />
<br />
<b>Duke vs. Albany</b><br />
<br />
The second-seeded Blue Devils (27-5) will meet the 15th-seeded Albany Great Danes (24-10) - Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia, Pa. - Mar. 22 - 12:15 p.m.<br />
<br />
Duke received a No. 1 or No. 2 seed for the sixth straight season
and advances to the NCAA Tournament for the 18th consecutive year and
29th time in the past 30 seasons.<br />
<br />
The Blue Devils have received a No. 1
or No. 2 seed in 15 of the past 17 seasons and 21 times under head coach
Mike Krzyzewski. <br />
<br />
Duke is 96-32 all-time in the tournament with national championships in
1991, 1992, 2001 and 2010.<br />
<br />
The Blue Devils won the 1991 NCAA
Championship as a No. 2 seed and their last three titles as a No. 1
seed.<br />
<br />
Krzyzewski is the NCAA’s all-time leader in tournament victories,
posting a 79-24 record in his 33 seasons at Duke.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>North Carolina vs. Villanova</b><br />
<br />
The eighth-seeded Tar Heels (24-10) tipoff against the ninth-seeded Villanova Wildcats (20-13) - Sprint Center, Kansas City, Mo. - Mar. 22 - 7:20 p.m.<br />
<br />
Carolina is making its 44th NCAA Tournament appearance, second-most in
history and has
played in 18 Final Fours, more than any school in the nation. <br />
<br />
The Tar Heels have played in 149 NCAA Tournament games and won
108, both of which totals are second in NCAA history. UNC's Tournament
winning percentage of .725 (108-41) is third in history. <br />
<br />
Head coach Roy Williams is making his 23rd NCAA Tournament appearance as a head coach,
tied for seventh in NCAA history. <br />
<br />
He's coached in 81 NCAA Tournament
games, posted 61 wins and posted an NCAA winning percentage of .753, all
of which are third in NCAA history.<br />
<br />
<b>NC State vs. Temple </b><br />
<br />
The eighth-seed Wolfpack (24-10) matches up with the ninth-seeded Temple Owls (23-9) - University of Dayton Arena, Dayton, Ohio - Mar. 22 - 1:40 p.m.<br />
<br />
It is NC State's 24th trip to the NCAA Tournament<b> </b>and this year's
squad has already recorded a 24-10 record, its highest win total in 30
years.<br />
<br />
Head coach Mark<b> </b>Gottfried is the first coach in NC State's storied basketball
history, and only the third in the 60-year history of the ACC for all
schools, to take his first two teams to the "Big Dance." <br />
<br />
The Wolfpack posts a 34-21 overall in the NCAA Tournament and is one of
only 17 teams that has won two national titles, as the Pack took the
title in 1974 and in 1983. <br />
<br />
NC State is the only team in the nation to have five players each average over 12 points per game.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Just as things were right on track, the fifth-ranked Duke Blue Devils train hit a major nick in the rails on Sunday.</div>
<br />
After winning their their 37<sup>th</sup> straight ACC home
contest to improve to 24-1 overall and 14-0 in league action with an 81-70 win
over the the Demon Deacons at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham, N.C., they lost guard Chelsea Gray for the remainder of the season with a dislocated knee.<br />
<br />
After being recognized for scoring her 1000th point in a Blue Devils uniform before the game, the junior from Manteca, Calif. jumped for a rebound at the 8:01 mark of the first half and landed awkwardly while contesting for the ball with a Deamon Deacons player.<br />
<br />
She managed to walk off the floor on crutches and sat on the team bench with her knee and leg immobilized in a brace for the remainder of the game while watching her team win its ACC-leading 37th consecutive game over a league opponent at home in Cameron Indoor Stadium.<br />
<br />
Coincidentally, the location of Gray's injury was only five to eight feet away from the spot where teammate Rich Jackson suffered a season-ending injury a year earlier against the Virginia Tech Hokies, during the teams' annual Pink Play4Kay game as well.<br />
<br />
A truly tough loss for the Blue Devils and a painful and unfortunate injury to one of the best point guards in the country.<br />

Wow!<br />
<br />
<br />
What a morning Saturday has brought with the upcoming and highly anticipated <a href="http://theacc.com/" target="_blank">Atlantic Coast Conference</a> (ACC) matchup in men's basketball as the #20 NC State Wolfpack hosts the #1 Duke Blue Devils at PNC Arena in Raleigh at Noon.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://twitter.com/PackMensBball" target="_blank">Tweets</a> have been flying from Raleigh all morning in anticipation of this one. <br />
<br />
In the meantime, the <a href="http://nhlpa.com/" target="_blank">National Hockey League Players' Association</a> (NHLPA) has completed its vote as of 8 a.m. to ratify the new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) that the <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/nhl-owners-ratify-new-cba" target="_blank">NHL owners unanimously ratified</a> earlier in the week.<br />
<br />
With a vote ratifying the CBA from the NHLPA, all that is required for a new NHL season to begin is for a Memorandum of Understanding to be signed by both parties.<br />
<br />
All this is expected to take place sometime Saturday.<br />
<br />
Once that happens, the league will release the much anticipated playing schedule and training camps around the league will begin as early as Sunday - including in Raleigh.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, PNC Arena is ready to host the grudge match between the ACC's preseason #1 and the current #1 in NCAA men's college basketball.<br />
<br />
Have a great Saturday!<br />

<br />
No one following the Duke Blue Devils (6-6) this season could ask for a better set-up to finish the 100th year of Blue Devils football - watching the team play its final game in the state of North Carolina at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte and competing in the <a href="http://belkbowl.com/" target="_blank">Belk Bowl</a> against the Big East co-champion Cincinnati Bearcats (9-3) on Thursday. <br />
<br />
All the ingredients of a perfect ending are in place for Duke football fans who have endured 18 years to see their team compete in a postseason bowl game and to finish the season with a winning record.<br />
<br />
Both of those things have not happened since the team played in the Hall of Fame Bowl game on Jan. 2, 1995, suffering a 34-20 loss to the Wisconsin Badgders, and finishing the season with an 8-4 record. <b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>A pivotal game</b><br />
<br />
The Belk Bowl match-up with the Bearcats holds much significance for Duke as it represents both an ending and a beginning of sorts.<br />
<br />
A win for Duke will provide the seniors recruited by head coach David Cutcliffe with their first winning season and a bowl victory to cap it all off.<br />
<br />
Though that scenario will bring to an end a four-plus year process to resurrect Duke football from the dormant stage it has been in at the bottom of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) for so long, it places the program in a place to go to a higher level.<b> </b><br />
<br />
<b>Coach believes in you</b><br />
<br />
Cutcliffe recently signed a significant contract extension that will allow him to continue the work he has started in putting Duke football back on the map, and a bowl win will provide the star to place on the grid for future recruits to know exactly where the football program stands. <br />
<br />
The belief that the Duke coach has in his players' abilities and talents has brought them very far and he uses that to his advantage.<br />
<br />
He is a leader of athletes who possess character and that is what he will continue to look for with his recruiting efforts.<br />
<br />
His players' individual and collective talents have helped them establish new school, conference, and National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) records throughout the season - reason for him to call this team is a 'special' one.<br />
<br />
Cutcliffe continues to tell all who will listen that he has 'special people doing special things' all the time at Duke.<strong> </strong><br />
<br />
<strong>A team of destiny?</strong><br />
<strong><br /></strong>
Team captains Sean Renfree, Connor Vernon Walt Canty, and Ross Cockrell have all set examples playing their respective positions throughout the season to establish their individual legacies at Duke.<br />
<br />
There is no doubt that these players hold the Blue Devils' destiny in their hands when they take to the field against Cincinnati.<br />
<br />
They will try to do what many believe they can't do - win.<br />
<br />
Even after clinching a bowl bid with a <a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/blue-devils-beat-tar-heels-33-30-for-victory-bell" target="_blank">final-seconds 33-30 finish against cross-Triangle rival the North Carolina Tar Heels</a>, many were content to say that Duke's season had reached its peak.<br />
<br />
Four consecutive losses to end the regular season lent support to that thinking.<br />
<br />
The prototypical heart break and aching that has been a part of following Duke football for a long time has presented that smidgen of doubt for non-believers to hold on to.<br />
<br />
However, for those who have watched the surprisingly exciting plays and exhilarating moments that this team has executed and experienced, one can only assume that the best is still yet to come.<br />

The road to Tallahassee, Fla. has now been traveled.<br />
<br />
The Duke Blue Devils (6-2, 3-1) kick off against the #11 Florida State Seminoles (7-1, 4-1) at 3:30 p.m. in Doak Campbell Stadium on Saturday.<br />
<br />
FSU enters Saturday’s game ranked 11th nationally and atop the Atlantic Coast Conference's Atlantic Division while Duke is off to its best start since 1994 and sits atop the Coastal Division.<br />
<br />
The last time these two teams have squared off with significant ramifications was 1994, when #9 FSU routed #No. 16 Duke, 59-20, at Doak Campbell Stadium. <br />
<br />
<b>Decisive advantage</b><br />
<br />

<br />
Florida State’s mastery of Duke in the all-time series ranks as one of the most dominant among conference opponents in league history as FSU is tied for the second-longest winning streak among ACC opponents.<br />
<br />
Duke is the lone ACC team that has not defeated FSU in its 21 seasons of conference membership.<br />

An ACC-leading 14 of his punts have traveled 50 yards or longer, and 12 have landed inside the opponent’s 20-yard line. <br />
<br />
Monday is the only player in the ACC with two punts of at least 60 yards and currently ranks second on Duke’s single-season punting average list, trailing only Steve Lach who averaged 45.89 yards per punt for the Blue Devils in 1941. <br />
<br />
Monday has averaged no less than 43.5 yards per punt in each of Duke’s eight games this season. <br />
<br />
He has made a punt of at least 50 yards and has placed a punt inside an opponent’s 20-yard line in every game this season. <br />
<b><br /></b>
During his weekly teleconference leading up to the Florida State game, Duke coach David Cutcliffe had the following to say about his kicker: <br />
<br />
"Will
has been accurate, has great hang time - he really has stepped up and
taken challenges. I think that last punt in that last ballgame (against
North Carolina) was indicative of the year he's had when he put that
ball and pinned them inside the 10-yard-line we ended up giving up the
score. But the kicking game and what he did is exactly what you want a
guy to do, so he is a weapon."<br />
<br />
<b>Guy Award background</b><br />
<br />
The Augusta Sports Council created the Ray Guy Award in 2000 to honor Thomson, Georgia native and College Football Hall of Fame inductee Ray Guy. <br />
<br />
The Ray Guy Award winner must display team leadership, self-discipline, and have a positive impact on the team’s success and is determined by a national voting body of sports writers, college coaches, sports information directors, and past Ray Guy Award winners. <br />
<br />
The voting body uses a variety of statistics to determine the successful recipient by comparing net punting average, number of times a punt is downed or kicked out of bounds inside the opponents 20-yard line, total yardage punted, average returned yardage, and percentage of punts not returned.<br />
