Ian Woosnam says he had achieved enough in golf to be considered a Hall of Fame candidate 10 years before he was told he would be joining the games greats.His absence has been a source of frustration, with the Welshman tweeting two years ago to reveal how disillusioned he felt with the sport after being left off the list of inductees, and again expressed his disappointment earlier this year.It was announced Wednesday that Woosnam would take his place in the World Golf Hall of Fame next year, along with Davis Love III, the late BBC commentator Henry Longhurst, Meg Mallon, who won 18 times on the LPGA Tour, including four majors, and former womens world No.1 Lorena Ochoa.In welcoming his prestigious place on a list of players including Tom Watson, Phil Mickelson, Jack Nicklaus, Bernhard Langer and Ernie Els, the former world No. 1 was asked on a conference call this week if he felt there had been a HOF moment in his career.You have to look at it as one big whole, the 58-year-old said. You dont really think about it until you get a little bit older and you see the people going into the hall of fame. If anything, for me, the 2006 Ryder Cup achieved pretty well everything.Being the captain of the Ryder Cup is just the icing on the cake. That, for me, was the beginning of having a chance to get into the hall of fame.Woosnam played in eight of the biennial contests, including that impressive 18?-9? victory for Europe against the U.S. at The K Club, twice topped the European Tour order of merit and won the Masters in 1991. He now plays in seniors events and will be officially inducted next September in New York.You dream of things like this, he said, before suggesting he might put contribute a Welsh rugby shirt to the World Golf Hall of Fame. Ive done pretty well, I think, and to have this is just icing on the cake. Im really looking forward to New York and next September.Adam Thielen Vikings Jersey .

PITTSBURGH -- Fred Couples roared through his first 11 holes in the second round of the Senior Players Championship on Friday, ripping off seven birdies at water-logged Fox Chapel to take the lead. Then the weather managed to do what the defenceless course could not, stopping the Hall of Famer with a sudden downpour that suspended play for the day with most of the field still on the course. The stoppage came just after Couples hit his tee shot on the par-3 third. The sky cleared in about an hour, but with fairways and bunkers resembling ponds and the threat of more storms looming, officials decided to send players home rather than wait out a lengthy delay to squeeze in a few more holes. Couples understood the decision but allowed he was in the middle of something special when play was stopped. "Rounds like this dont happen very often," Couples said. Instead Couples was left to mull the 60-foot birdie putt that awaits when he and the 65 other players whose rounds were interrupted return to the course at 8 a.m. Saturday. "I was hitting the ball well," Couples said. "But you can look at the bright side tomorrow and hope to get it going again." He was 11 under. First-round leader John Huston was two shots back at 9 under after making an eagle from the rough on the par-4 15th hole just before the horn sounded. It was Hustons second eagle in two days on a par 4. He eagled No. 7 on Thursday when he drove the green and made a 25-footer. This one was a bit more unexpected after Huston pushed his tee shot to the right and it sailed into thick rough that bore more than a passing resemblance to soggy cabbage. His sand wedge from 100 yards caught the ball clean and it dropped into the hole on the fly, no roll required. "It was pretty shocking because it flew in the hole and stayed there," Huston said. Couples stressed he wont be getting ahead of himself as he searches for his second win at Senior Players, one of the Champions Tour five majors. He led at the halfway point on the same course last year, shooting a second-round 63 only to sllip on the weekend and finish fourth behind winner Joe Daley.dddddddddddd With the forecast calling for more rain over the weekend, Couples knows the rolling course a few miles north of downtown Pittsburgh wont be able to put up much of a fight. It certainly didnt Friday thanks to a steady stream of showers that have turned what is supposed to be one of the better tests on the tour into target practice. Officials allowed players to lift, clean and place their golf balls and, with the greens welcoming shots of all shapes, low scores were plentiful. Over half the field was even par or better for the day when the thunderstorm arrived. Though the conditions favoured longer hitters like Couples and Huston, the accommodating greens allowed short-hitting Jeff Hart to rise into contention. The 53-year-old shot a season-best 5-under 65 and was the leader in the clubhouse at 7 under. Not bad for a player who was hitting fairway woods and long irons onto some of the lengthier par 4s. He hit a 3-wood to 5 feet on the 475-yard eighth hole and made the putt, then knocked a 4-iron within a foot on the 422-yard 16th. Hart hit 13 of 14 fairways and 15 of 18 greens. The 53-year-old grinder has never finished in the top 10 in a Champions Tour event but is coming off a solid 15th-place finish at the Encompass Championship last week. He pointed to a change in mindset to the uptick in his play. "Im finally learning to try less and less," he said. "I think thats the key for me. I think were all conditioned to try harder and in all sports youre told to get in there, try harder and certainly golf is no different. But Im just kind of letting it go right now and thats the key." Duffy Waldorf was also 7 under with four holes remaining in his second round. Fred Funk, Mike Goodes and Michael Allen were 6 under, with points leader David Frost and Russ Cochran one shot back at 5 under. Colin Montgomerie, making his Champions Tour debut, moved into a tie for 10th with Corey Pavin and Mark Calcavecchia at 4 under after rolling in birdies on his first five holes 5 under.
