| Golf course groundskeeper drowns in hazard Posted: 04 Sep 2010 01:11 PM PDT LAKEVILLE, Mass. — A Massachusetts golf course groundskeeper who drove a lawn mower into a water hazard and got stuck under it has drowned. Authorities say Greg Misodoulakis was killed Friday after becoming trapped by the lawn mower in five feet of water at an 18-hole course in Lakeville, 40 miles north of Boston. A co-owner at the Back Nine Club says nobody saw the 18-year-old groundskeeper drive into the manmade hazard. Plymouth district attorney's office spokeswoman Bridget Norton Middleton says the teenager was pulled from the water after about 20 minutes. She says it appears to be an accidental drowning. The 18-year-old was a freshman at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. A groundskeeper at a Plainsboro, N.J., golf course survived a similar accident Aug. 23 when rescuers used a backhoe and chains to pull a lawn mower off him.

| Posted: 03 Sep 2010 09:00 PM PDT ASSOCIATED PRESS NORTON, Mass. — Zach Johnson and Jason Day beat up on the course and beat the weather at the Deutsche Bank Championship. For Tiger Woods, it was the other way around. Johnson strengthened his Ryder Cup case Friday by rolling in putts from everywhere in easy scoring conditions ahead of Hurricane Earl, giving him an 8-under-par 63 and a share of the lead with Day. Woods had two bogeys in four holes when the first patch of rain arrived, and it didn't get much better. He had two more bogeys and was in last place until he fought back for a 72, leaving him three shots below the projected cut. If he doesn't make the cut today, Woods will not advance to defend his title next week outside Chicago. Scoring was so ideal that Johnson and Day had 63s and still had only a one-shot lead — over eight players. That group included Ryder Cup hopeful Ryan Palmer, Rory McIlroy and Geoff Ogilvy. That they finished the first round was a bonus considering the Earl forecast. More surprising was that the wind never arrived, and late starters only had to cope with the nuisance of an occasional shower. "It had the potential to be the most lopsided draw in history," Ogilvy said, noting that gusts upward of 50 mph were expected. "It was way better than we assumed it was going to be." Phil Mickelson, with his 10th chance to replace Woods at No. 1 in the world, opened with a 69. Day, the 36-hole leader last week at The Barclays, shot 30 on the back nine. Defending champion Steve Stricker, who has an outside shot to go to No. 1 in the world this week, was in the group at 65. Matt Kuchar, who won last week at The Barclays and leads the FedEx Cup standings, was in the group at 66. Jimenez shoots 61 CRANS-SUR-SIERRE, Switzerland — Miguel Angel Jimenez shot a 10-under 61 to take a three-stroke lead after the second round of the European Masters. The 46-year-old Spaniard had two eagles to produce the lowest score of his 28-year professional career in the buildup to his fourth Ryder Cup appearance next month. It also lowered the course record from the 62 shot by Eduardo Romero in 2000. "I thought a little bit about a 59," Jimenez said. Earlier in the day, Edoardo Molinari had posted the clubhouse lead at 11-under after shooting a 65. He was later joined in the lead by 17-year-old Matteo Manassero, who needs a top-five finish on Sunday to secure his playing rights for 2011. Manassero shot a 67 and has a share of second place with Molinari. Calcavecchia leads by two shots PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Mark Calcavecchia shot an 8-under 64 at Del Monte to take a two-stroke lead over Tom Pernice Jr. in the Champions Tour's First Tee Open. Pernice, also playing his first full season on the tour, birdied five of the first six holes at Pebble Beach, then had 10 straight pars and birdied the 17th en route to a 66. Tom Kite, Fred Couples, Bob Tway, Wayne Levi and 2006 winner Scott Simpson opened with 67s at Del Monte, and Chip Beck and Olin Browne had 67s at Pebble Beach. Nationwide bowing out DUBLIN, Ohio — Nationwide Insurance announced it will end its title sponsorship of the PGA Tour's developmental circuit in the U.S. when its contract expires in two years. The company has been the title sponsor of the tour for the past eight years.
