Officials announced on Thursday that PGA TOUR champion Gary Woodland will be the second player to represent Team World in the inaugural Canada Cup Match to take place at Ashburn Golf Club – New Course in Halifax, Nova Scotia on Monday, June 30, 2014. The Canada Cup is part of GOLFest Nova Scotia, a week-long celebration of national pride and all things golf in Canada that will also feature a Web.com Tour event, the Nova Scotia Open, from June 29 to July 6, 2014. After turning professional in 2007, Woodland quickly ascended to the PGA TOUR. He had a break-through season in 2011 which included six top-10 finishes and a victory at the Transitions Championship (now Valspar Championship), where he sunk a clutch 10-foot putt for par on the 72nd hole to win by one stroke over U.S. Open Champion Webb Simpson. More recently, the Topeka, Kansas native claimed his second PGA TOUR victory at the 2013 Reno-Tahoe Open. Woodland currently sits at number eighteen on the 2014 FedExCup points list. He is an alumnus of the Web.com Tour, having made 14 starts in 2010, which included four top-20 finishes. Known for his power and athleticism, Woodlands style will be a great exhibition for spectators. His length is the perfect complement to Kuchars consistency and patience. Canada Cup fans could be in for a treat if Kuchar and Woodland get paired together for team alternate shot. The Canada Cup will not be the first time this duo has paired up in international team competition. In 2011, Kuchar and Woodland represented the United States at the Omega Mission Hills World Cup (now ISPS HANDA World Cup of Golf) where they won by two strokes over England and Germany. "Match play competitions always bring out the best in players ability and personality. The pressure and energy of match play creates a great environment for players and fans alike. Playing with Matt and representing the United States at the Omega Mission Hills World Cup was a great experience. I look forward to representing the World with Matt and our remaining teammates as we take on Team Canada at the Canada Cup in a week that includes both Canada Day and Independence Day," said Woodland. DeLaet and Woodland are two of the longer ball strikers on tour, while Weir, Hearn and Kuchar are three of the most consistent. Although the Canada Cup pairings are still undetermined, one thing is for certain, that fans will bear witness to an exhibition of world-class golf by top PGA TOUR and Web.com Tour professionals. "Matt and Gary are both great players with very different styles of play which will be entertaining for spectators to watch. Match play is a great format that we dont get to play a lot of on the PGA TOUR. I cant wait to play in front of the Canadian fans in a match play setting again. I look forward to welcoming Matt and Gary to Halifax and sharing this experience with Graham and David," said Weir. Salomon Shoes From China . TSN 1290s coverage begins with Hustler & Lawless at 3pm.

The 26-year-old midfielder is expected to play Saturday night when Toronto hosts D.C. United, returning to his Major League Soccer squad with mixed feelings about the Americans World Cup run -- sad that it ended when it did but proud of his teams performance.RENTON, Wash. - Almost every day during training camp and often during the season, Dan Quinn would put on large padded gloves and essentially go through a sparring session with the Seattle Seahawks defensive linemen as they warmed up for practice working on pass rushing techniques.Once Quinn got into the position of being a defensive co-ordinator — after years of working as a position coach — he was not going to become someone who watched and coached from afar.This is a people business. We love the Xs and Os but the Jimmys and the Joes are what make this thing go, Seattle defensive backs coach Kris Richard said. His ability to capture people and make them feel exactly what they are. You have worth. You have value. So he values you, which is awesome.Quinns name has been the most talked about in coaching circles since the end of the regular season because of the job hes done as Seattles defensive co-ordinator the past two seasons. All signs point to Quinn becoming the next head coach in Atlanta after having a second interview with the Falcons the day after the NFC championship victory over Green Bay.When asked about the second interview Falcons this week, Quinn said he appreciated all the opportunities hes had and then channeled his own version of Marshawn Lynch.Thanks for asking, he said with a grin.But before anything can be formalized in Atlanta, Quinns task at hand is preparing Seattle to try and slow down Tom Brady and New England in the Super Bowl next Sunday.Ask around and you see why Quinn has become so appreciated in Seattle and why so many teams were eager to talk with him each of the past two years. Players and colleagues speak of his personality and work ethic. Quinn is not a screamer, but a teacher that no one wants to let down.Its why Seattles defence has been so successful. Its built on being physical and tough, but also the accountability that everyone is going to do their assignment. That directive starts with Pete Carroll, but gets passed through his coaches, like Quinn.Its a communication thing, Seattle middle linebacker Bobby Wagner explained. Its not, You have to be here. Its more, Why were yoou here? This is what I feel.dddddddddddd What do you feel? and there is a middle ground. Versus maybe somebody just saying, This is what I want, and there is no ifs ands or buts about it. Its a communication (factor), its a trust factor and a belief factor.What Quinn has helped create is record setting. Seattle was one of three defences in league history to lead the NFL in scoring defence in three straight seasons. They were the first team since the Chicago Bears in 1985-86 to lead the league in total defence and scoring defence in consecutive seasons. The numbers Seattle has posted lend credence to the argument the Seahawks are among the best of this generation.He stayed true to who he is. Thats whats helped him be successful, said former Seattle defensive co-ordinator and current Jacksonville head coach Gus Bradley. Thats what hell do, Im sure, if he gets an opportunity to be a head coach.To that end, Quinns arrival in Seattle brought a different level of defensive aggressiveness. While Bradley was revered by his players, he was sometimes thought to be too passive. Some of that was situational. Bradley was coaching a defence that included Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor and Wagner. They were talented and pointed toward success, but still very young.Quinn believed in that youth as long as there was a high level of accountability. He was willing to let Seattle play a significant amount of man-to-man defence with Thomas the only protection in the back. The rest of Seattles coverages are simplified. There isnt a lot of disguise and confusion with Seattles defence. In turn, the Seahawks play faster and are more efficient.When he came here after we lost Gus Bradley we didnt have an identity. I think (Quinn) came and gave us an identity, Seattle linebacker Bruce Irvin said. Respected us as players. Told us this is what we wanted, this is what he expected. Guys go out there and play for him. Hes a players coach. Petes a players coach so as long as you respect them and do what youve got to do theyll give you a little leeway.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
