That year, Stewart did not play in the Masters because he was injured. "So maybe they're taking it easy on us this week."Stewart won the USPGA Championship at Kemper Lakes in 1989 and then the US Open at Hazeltine two years later, when he led after every round but had to rally from two behind with four to play to get into, and then win, a playoff against Scott Simpson. All but Janzen, who is 33, are at least 39.With the course drying out considerably on Saturday, the sloping fairways and the tiny greens became almost impossible to hold and it was in the third round that the honorary Jack Fleck role became vacant. Both Matt Kuchar, the amateur who celebrated his 20th birthday yesterday, and Lee Porter, a 32-year-old professional of no previous acclaim, fell out of contention with rounds of 76.Fleck beat Ben Hogan in the first US Open played at Olympic in 1955, when Bill Stewart, Payne's father, shot rounds of 83 and 88 Hogan and Fleck tied at seven over "My mum said the rough was knee-high," Stewart said.

Yet this is a time when there has never been a greater incentive to keep playing the game at the highest level for as long as possible. WIGAN MADE sure Leeds' return to the top of the Super League table was a brief affair by beating Warrington 56-8 in their biggest win of the season so far.

"The last time I played stand-off was when I was 11 and I scored three tries. I might have to play there more often"We dug deep today which shows what the spirit here is really like."Salford: Broadbent, Rogers, Naylor, Martin, McAvoy, Wise, Lee, Southern, Alker, Savelio, J Faimalo, Bradbury, Hulme Substitutes: Randall, P Edwards, Eccles, E. Switched to scrum-half when Shaun Edwards was taken off, he broke clear to present the substitute, Paul Medley, with a try that McNamara goaled to bring the scores level.All the momentum was suddenly with the Bull, but Salford steadied the situation and Lee did the necessary with the boot."I didn't strike it right and it was what the late Eddie Wareing would have called a bit of a flapper, but it went over," says Lee. Although they went behind to a Steve McNamara penalty, they dominated the first half, going ahead when Lee and Scott Martin set up Joss White and then battering the Bulls for 10 minutes solid before David Bradbury scored.McNamara's second goal brought Bradford to within six points at half- time, which their coach, Matthew Elliott, called "a sensational result on the balance of play."It was Salford who had to work hard in defence during the third quarter, but unlike some recent matches they proved ready and willing to do so, with the experienced David Hume and newcomer Malcolm Alker, typifying their determination.A flash of inspiration from the largely ineffectual Robbie Paul threatened to undo all Salford's good work. Salford 11 Bradford 10 A MATCH-WINNING drop goal from the outstanding Mark Lee gave Salford the reward they deserved for a change of attitude and approach and ended their depressing slump. Lee, playing stand-off for the first time since his schooldays, slotted over the winning point 11 minutes from time, sending last season's Champions to their third defeat in succession.It was ironic that a kick should decide matters, because kicking was the one glaring weakness in Salford's game, their tally of four misses out of five - two of them absolute sitters - threatening to deny them the spoils until Lee connected.Every other aspect of their play improved out of sight compared with some of the limp performances that had consigned them to five defeats in a row.With forwards who fulfilled their job description by taking the ball forward, Salford had a platform that had been missing for weeks.
