JOHANNESBURG, South Africa -- Edoardo Molinari was in a four-way tie for the first-round lead at the European Tours Joburg Open with his 7-under-par 64 on Thursday. The Italian, chasing a British Open place as well as his first title in four years, was joined by Scottish pair Alastair Forsyth and Craig Lee and South African Justin Walters. A 2010 Ryder Cup winner, Molinari opened with three straight birdies at Royal Johannesburg and Kensington and collected eight in all on the par-71 West Course. "The front nine was probably as good as Ive played in a long time," he said. Lee had maybe the most impressive start with his 7-under 65 on the tougher par-72 East Course, with eight birdies and just one bogey on No. 17. "Its really hard to figure out where you are in the field with two golf courses, and with the East being slightly tougher I feel like Im in a good position," Lee said. Forsyth and Walters both carded 64s on the West, with Forsyth not dropping a shot all day. They led by one shot. Players play one round on the East and West courses before finishing on the East over the weekend. The tournament is also a qualifying event for the British Open in July and offers places to the three highest-placed finishers in the top 10 not already exempt. None of the top 10 on Thursday have qualified for the Open. Johannesburg defending champion Richard Sterne opened with a 5-under 67 on the East, but couldnt fully capitalize on an eagle three on his first hole, as he sat in a tie for 13th. Sterne has qualified for the British Open, as has former Masters champion Charl Schwartzel, who managed a 69 on the East. Molinari has battled through fitness problems since his 2010 Ryder Cup debut and hasnt won since that year, but looked solid with five birdies and a single dropped shot on his opening nine. He made another three birdies coming in. Chasing the leading pack are eight players on 6 under, including South Africas Hennie Otto, who tied for second in the season-opening South African Open in November. South Koreas Jin Jeong, who won his maiden tour title at the Perth International last year, is also in contention after a 65. The Joburg Open is the sixth tournament out of 10 on the early European Tour schedule to be played in South Africa. There will be a seventh next weekend with the Africa Open.

It has all the makings of a rout with the Americans adding an eighth win in nine outings of this biennial event. The Yanks have eight players in the top 15 in the world while the Internationals have just one.

Terrell Edmunds Jersey .C. -- Panthers wide receiver Steve Smith has been ruled out for Sundays game against the Atlanta Falcons.KITZBUEHEL, Austria - After winning a shortened version of the mens World Cup downhill on the Streif course, Kjetil Jansrud was hugged by a Norwegian teammate who has come short on 10 attempts to win the classic race.Injured Aksel Lund Svindal, hoping to recover in time from a torn Achilles tendon to compete at next months world championships, was among the first to congratulate Jansrud, embracing him in the finish area.It was so good to see him, Jansrud said, before joking but its always dangerous when you see him smiling and laughing because that means his Achilles is probably pretty good and he will probably be faster than us at the worlds.With his third downhill victory of the season, Jansrud became the first Norwegian winner on the Streif since Lasse Kjus 11 years ago.Svindal, who has been racing here since 2003, had his best result when he placed second last year.I am really happy that Kjetil won, Svindal said. Watching a race from the sideline is not where you want to be. But thats life.With 45,000 spectators waiting in light snowfall, fog on the upper part of the course forced organizers to delay the race by two hours, and then significantly lower the start gate as conditions failed to improve.The clouds limited visibility, making it potentially dangerous for skiers who reach speeds of up to 140 kph (90 mph).In the shortest downhill in World Cup history, Jansrud clocked 58.16 seconds — half the time usually needed on the 3.3-kilometre (2-mile) course — to edge Dominik Paris by 0.02. The Italian won the super-G on the same course Friday.Guillermo Fayed of France came 0.21 behind in third for his second career podium.Kitzbuehel championn sounds really cool, Jansrud said.ddddddddddddIts an amazing day, a huge victory for me ... Winning here was a big goal of mine.Benjamin Thomsen of Invermere, B.C., was 17th.While topping the leaderboard, Jansrud saw Paris clocking faster split times but the Italian lost more than three-tenths in the finish section.I wasnt happy that we started from the Seidlalm as my best part is the upper part of the hill, Jansrud said. We always want to run the full race in Kitzbuehel. But first priority is the safety so it was a good call.Jansrud closed the gap on overall World Cup leader Marcel Hirscher, who doesnt compete in downhill, to 82 points. However, the Austrian has two slaloms coming up — in Kitzbuehel on Sunday and nearby Schladming on Tuesday — to extend his lead.Paris came just short of his second win in two days.Those two-hundredths annoy me a bit, said the Italian, who won the downhill two years ago. But its great to be on the podium. The race was great. Even with the shorter run, it was a fair race.American Steven Nyman, who won the downhill in Val Gardena last month, was 0.41 back in fifth, and Olympic champion Matthias Mayer of Austria trailed Jansrud by 0.47 in 10th.Last years winner Hannes Reichelt of Austria finished 1.23 off the lead and shared 34th with Swiss skiers Mauro Caviezel and 2009 winner and 2010 Olympic champion, Didier Defago, who raced the Streif for the last time before retiring at the end of the season.It was the final mens World Cup speed race before the world championships in Beaver Creek, Colorado, in February.The 75th edition of the traditional Hahnenkamm races is concluded by a slalom on Sunday.
