The fall portion of the 2016-17 PGA Tour concludes this weekend with the RSM Classic at Sea Island Resort in St. Simons Island, Ga.And although more than 25 fully exempt PGA Tour players in the field either live nearby or consider the Sea Island Golf Performance Center as their base, its anything but a certainty that the title will be won by a hometown favorite.The event, which was founded in 2010 and formerly called the McGladrey Classic, is famously hosted by PGA Tour player Davis Love III, one of many Tour players among the areas residents.Love is faced with myriad of responsibilities and challenges before and during tournament week. On top of his tournament host duties, Love also competes in the event and said that when its time to tee it up he simply wants to go play.Its worth all the hard work to get to do what I go do, Love III said. I want to continue to see how good I can get. World No. 1 is probably not realistic at (52) years old, but staying out on the PGA Tour until you are 60 and trying to win more golf tournaments is a fun goal.Three of the previous four champions of this event claimed their first title here, including Kevin Kisner, who won by six shots last year while setting 54- and 72-hole scoring records.Kisner validated a year of near misses in with a dominating victory, shooting 12-under par on the weekend to cruise to the win over distant runner-up Kevin Chappell.Kisners six-stroke victory in 2015 is the largest in tournament history. Until 2015, all five previous editions in the RSMs short history had been decided by no more than one shot.It was one of those weeks when everything was going my way, and you have to remember those because they dont happen very often, Kisner said.Kisner temporarily relocated to St. Simons Island while his Aiken, S.C., house was being renovated.Two of the tournaments six champions have been part-timers -- Kisner and Chris Kirk (2014). But with all the big names that call St. Simons Island home, the RSM Classic still is looking for its first true hometown winner.The closest a fulltime resident has come was Loves tie for fourth in 2012.Eleven players in the field seeking their first win have at least one runner-up finish since the beginning of the 2015-16 season.Other Golden Isles residents in the field this week are Matt Kuchar, Zach Johnson, Harris English, Brian Harman, Hudson Swafford, Patton Kizzire, Bobby Wyatt and Trey Mullinax.The tournament usually has a strong field because of its place on the schedule right before the holidays, the challenging courses at the resort and the measuring stick it provides players before many go on an extended break.Ten players who are ranked inside the top 30 in the FedExCup standings are in the 156-player field that will battle for the $5.7 million purse, $1.026 million of which goes to the winner.The highest ranked-players in the field in the Official World Golf Rankings are Kuchar (No. 20), Brandt Snedeker (26), Chappell (28), Jim Furyk (34), Johnson (35), Bill Haas (38) and Kisner (41).Sea Islands 7,005-yard, par-70 Seaside course will be the feature track and the site of play for the remaining field on Saturday and Sunday.Once again, entrants also will play one of the first two rounds at the revamped Plantation course.Unlike Harbour Town to the north, Sea Island was fortunate to suffer minimal damage from Hurricane Matthew. The Seaside Course withstood Mother Nature better than the Plantation and Tour officials said damage set them back only about a week in preparation.The RSM Classic is the seventh event in the PGA Tours wraparound schedule that bridges two years with 47 official events.Over the span of 43 weeks, players vie to become the FedExCup Champion. After a break, the season will resume in January with the traditional swing through Hawaii before moving to the West Coast.Stan Smith Clearance . Booth picked up 65 caps after making her national team debut in 2002 at the age of 17. She most recently played for Sky Blue FC of the National Womens Soccer League. "It just felt like it was my time to move on," she said in a phone interview from her hometown of Burlington, Ont. Ultra Boost Discount . -- Running backs Darren McFadden and Rashad Jennings were back at practice for the Oakland Raiders on Wednesday despite being hampered by hamstring injuries. http://www.stansmithdiscount.com/discount-stan-smith-shoes/clearance-stan-smith-red.html . -- Playing time has been limited for Maxim Tissot this season, so the Montreal Impact defender made the most of his first scoring opportunity on Saturday. Wholesale Stan Smith . LOUIS -- St. Adidas Nmd Wholesale . -- Stanford squashed Oregons national championship hopes again, schooling the Ducks in power football.Penrith could get a huge power boost ahead of Sundays NRL match against Newcastle with props Reagan Campbell-Gillard and Suaia Matagi closing in on timely returns from injury.The Panthers are facing a mini-crisis in the front row following the loss of Campbell-Gillard (elbow) and Matagi (foot), while the experienced Sam McKendry has been out with an ACL injury.Jeremy Latimore is also just one game back from a knee problem.The prop shortage has forced coach Anthony Griffin to reach deep into his front-row stocks, using former winger Sitaleki Akauola in the middle and even handing rookie Moses Leota a start last week.However Matagi joined Campbell-Gillard in running drills this week to improve both their chances of a recall to bolster their forward pack as the club continues its race to a finals spot.Reg (Campbell-Gillard) was great at the start of the year. He was our go-forward and he laid the platform for the forwards, just running hard and giving us that go, centre Waqa Blake told AAP.And Matagi, everyone loves seeeing him do those runs off the kickoff.ddddddddddddHe just picks someone out and just run hard.Reg has been doing a few non-contact sessions, but we still dont want to rush him back in. Theyre just being careful with his rehab, as with Matagi as well.While forward Trent Merrin has upped his game in recent weeks and Leilani Latu is enjoying a breakout season, Blake praised Leota and Akauola for their efforts at a crucial time.It shows the depth of the club, all the boys have been there to step up, he said.Moses obviously played only a few games and then he just got a start. Hes been consistent with what he does, hes been very professional off the field. Our forwards have definitely stepped up.Despite their injury list, which also includes season-ending knee injuries to New Zealand internationals Dean Whare and Peta Hiku, Penrith sit in seventh spot with four regular season games remaining.
