Kelly in the mix after opening round

June 14, 2013 By

When the conversation rolls around to talk of players competing for the 2013 US Open

Jerry Kelly

Championship, Steve Stricker’s name pops up.  Stricker may be the best player to never win a major.  He was up and down on day one and settled for an opening round 1-over par 71.

There’s another Madison player that hasn’t been heard from for a while but made a little noise on day 1.  Jerry Kelly went to the final hole yesterday, sitting at 2-under par.  Kelly double bogeyed 18 and his 2-under turned into an even par 70.

AUDIO: Jerry Kelly on his opening round :24

Kelly has just one top 25 finish in his first 10 starts this year, but he’s coming around and his timing couldn’t be better.

Kelly ranks sixth on the PGA Tour in driving accuracy, which is going to help at Merion where the rough is nearly impossible.  Staying in the fairway is a premium at this event.

June 13, 2013 By

In today’s WRN Sports Daily, I take a look back at last night’s Stanley Cup Finals opener between Chicago & Boston.

The NBA Finals continue tonight with game 4 between San Antonio and Miami.  Can the Spurs push Miami closer to elimination and will they have Tony Parker (hamstring) on the court.

And the Brewers have a long way to go, but they’ve won 5 of 6 with a big series against the Reds coming this weekend.

Brewers get the sticks going in 10-1 victory

June 13, 2013 By

Carlos Gomez had four hits, including two triples, and Jonathan Lucroy drove in four runs as the Milwaukee Brewers rolled to a 10-1 win over the Miami Marlins.

Gomez also drove in three runs and scored three times as the Brewers have won 5 of the last 6 games.

AUDIO: Mgr. Ron Roenicke on Carlos Gomez :18

Alfredo Figaro (1-0) pitched seven scoreless innings to pick up his first victory since September of 2009 against the White Sox.  He retired 16 straight hitters at one point.

The 10-1 victory was the largest margin of victory for the Brewers this season.

The Brewers get the day off today and will head for Cincinnati to take on the Reds this weekend.
