ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. - Two items on Robert Strebs bucket list are attending an Oklahoma-Texas football game and playing at Augusta National.He never could have guessed which would be the first one scratched off the list.Streb closed with a 7-under 63 on Sunday and won the McGladrey Classic with the most significant shot of his young career, an 8-iron to 4 feet for birdie on the second extra hole of a three-man playoff at Sea Island that helped secure a trip to the Masters next April.One is easier to get to. I just havent done it yet, Streb said with a smile. Definitely thought I would have made that game by now.Winning the McGladrey Classic for his first PGA Tour victory was no picnic.He opened the tournament with a duck-hook into a bush for double bogey and spent the next two days worried about making the cut. He began the final round Sunday five shots out of the lead and made bogey from a fairway bunker on the first hole. Right when he was making a run, he three-putted for bogey on the 13th hole to fall four shots behind with only five holes to play.The rest was a blur, and then a long wait.Streb ran off four straight bogeys to finish at 14-under 266. He waited 90 minutes to see if it would stand, and then faced Brendon de Jonge and Will MacKenzie in a playoff.MacKenzie was eliminated on the first playoff hole with a bogey from the bunker. On the par-3 17th, where two hours earlier Streb had rolled in a 30-foot putt to tie for the lead, he hit 8-iron that never left the flag until it plopped down right behind the hole.What can you do? He hit a great shot, said de Jonge, who closed with a 65. And as I said, its nice for him to have a birdie. Its a good way to win the tournament.Streb, who grew up at Oak Tree just north of Oklahoma City, never felt more pressure than over his final two putts. On the first playoff hole, he ran his 35-foot birdie putt about 4 feet by the hole and had to make that just to stay in the playoff. The next putt he had was for the win.I was pretty nervous over those short putts, but managed to work it out, and things went in my favour, Streb said.Very little has gone according to plan for Streb in his career.He wanted to be a Sooner, but the Oklahoma golf team had no scholarship to offer and Streb felt he was only good enough to be a walk-on at Oklahoma State. So he took a scholarship to Kansas State, not exactly a golf mecca, and made sure he earned a degree in marketing in case golf didnt work out.It took three years to reach the PGA Tour. He had to earn his way back. Two months ago in his first FedEx Cup playoff experience, he thought he had advanced to the third playoff event until he was bumped out by two points when Jason Day made a birdie putt on the last hole.Youre obviously not going to achieve all your goals right from the get-go, Streb said. Well, at least I didnt.He has now. A PGA Tour winner. A trip to the Masters, along with Kapalua and the PGA Championship and other invitation-based events he has never played. His wife Maggie, whom he met at Kansas State, is expecting their first child in February.A long road to be sure, but it sure felt worth it on Sunday.De Jonge opened with three straight birdies to get in the hunt, and rolled in two more on the 10th and 12th holes. He missed a 10-foot birdie chance on the par-5 15th, and a 20-foot birdie chance on the final hole.I didnt birdie the par 5 in regulation. I had a very easy bunker shot, but other than that, I didnt leave much out there, de Jonge said.MacKenzie also failed to make birdie on No. 15, missing from about 10 feet. He bounced back from a three-putt bogey on the 16th by making a 5-foot birdie on the 17th, and then two-putting from 80 feet from short of the 18th green to shoot 68 and join the playoff.Andrew Svoboda, who started the final round tied for the lead with MacKenzie, twice had the outright lead with birdies on the front nine and he remained tied after 10 holes. He made back-to-back bogeys, and then dropped another shot on the 14th and never caught up. Svoboda closed with a 71 and tied for eighth.Defending champion Chris Kirk closed with a 67 and was in the group that finished two shots behind in a tie for fourth. Kevin Chappell went out in 30 to get within one shot of the lead, only to par every hole on the back nine for a 65 to finish three shots back. Kyle Walker Jersey .

Patrick Roberts Jersey .J. -- Having Ondrej Pavelec earn his 100th NHL win and seeing Mark Scheifele and Evander Kane break goal droughts were nice highlights for the Winnipeg Jets.MONTE CARLO -- Vancouvers Vasek Pospisil lost his career debut at the Monte Carlo Masters on Monday, falling 6-2, 6-2 in the first round to experienced clay-court player Roberto Bautista-Agut of Spain. The 29th-ranked Pospisil lacks clay-court experience and paid the price against his 45th-ranked opponent who grew up playing on the surface. "Theres a lot you can learn from every loss," said Pospisil. "This one was more about my lack of clay experience, I need to get used to the surface. Working on my movement will help a lot, its something I can improve." Eighth seed Milos Raonic of Thornhill, Ont., had a bye in the first round and will face either Argentinas Federico Delbonis or Taiwans Lu Yen-Hsun in the second round on Wednesday. Pospisil was competing in only his seventh top-level match on clay and now stands 1-6 on the surface. His only victory came in a Davis Cup tie against Ecuador in 2011. Pospisil hasnt played much since the Australian Open due to a back injury. "Considering how little Ive played in general, this was not so bad," said Pospisil. "He played extremely well and didnt miss any balls. I played well on my forehand but obviously clay is not my natural surface. "There was really not much I could have done out there." Pospisil, who committed 18 unforced errors in the opening set, admitted he came to the court with low expectations. "I didnt have too many expectations, Ive been dealing with a couple of injuries and only played points on clay for the first time yesterday." The Canadian said that while he did not want to go into detail, his back felt fine during the match. Pospisil will move onto Bucharest and Munich over the next few weeks as the French Open buildup continues. Elsewhere, Fabio Fogninii of Italy was two points away from defeat before rallying to beat Joao Sousa 5-7, 7-5, 6-4.dddddddddddd Sousa led 5-2 and 30-0 on Fogninis serve, but the Portuguese player lost his composure and then started complaining to the chair umpire at the end of the second set and midway through the third. "Im not happy today. I was I think a bit lucky," Fognini said. "It was a really difficult match." The 10th-seeded Fognini, who lost to title-holder Novak Djokovic in last years semifinals, was the highest seeded player in action Monday in the clay-court tournament. Fognini failed to serve out the first set at 5-4 and then his game fell apart. "I was completely without energy, without power in my legs," he said. "I have no idea what happened." After Fognini had served out the second set, the crowd jeered Sousa -- who had received a warning during the first set. At 3-2 down in the third, Sousa continued to grumble, saying "its a joke, its a joke." Fognini will play Bautista Agut in the next round. Later in the day, 11th-seeded Tommy Robredo of Spain beat Belgian qualifier David Goffin 6-4, 6-1. In other first-round matches, there were victories for Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany, Czech players Radek Stepanek and Lukas Rosol; and Spaniards Albert Montanes, Albert Ramos and Pablo Andujar. Rosol beat Evgeny Donskoy 7-5, 6-1; Kohlschreiber won 6-3, 6-4 against Simone Bolelli; Stepanek thrashed Ivo Karlovic 6-1, 6-2; Ramos beat Jarkko Nieminen 6-2, 7-5 and Andujar downed Edouard Roger-Vasselin 2-6, 7-5, 7-6 (5). On Tuesday, Djokovic plays Montanes in the second round. On Wednesday, eight-time champion Rafael Nadal of Spain faces Gilles Simon or Teymuraz Gabashvili, and fourth-seeded Roger Federer takes on Stepanek.
