OPELIKA, Ala. -- Aaron Baddeley left no doubt how much his first victory in 5-1/2 years meant to him.The Australian made a 24-foot putt on the fourth hole of a playoff with Si Woo Kim to win the Barbasol Championship on Sunday at Grand National. Then Baddeley broke into a celebratory dance off the green, tossed his club in the air and flung his cap back onto the green after his fourth PGA Tour victory.I think you could tell by my reaction how much it meant to me, he said.Baddeley secured a two-year exemption and a spot in the PGA Championship, but not the Masters.Both parred the first three holes of the playoff, three on 18 and the third on 17.Kim parred 18 again after Baddeley had already clinched his first win since the 2011 Northern Trust Open. He said at times doubts crept in about whether hed win again, calling last year the worst of his career. His 10th-place finish at Grand National was his best of the season.Its been a long time between drinks, the Australian said. I had some real struggles.Baddeley finished with a 5-under 66 to match Kim at 18-under 266. He was 11 strokes off the lead at the midpoint.Kim shot a 63, closing with a bogey.It was an exciting tournament, Kim said, speaking through an interpreter. I had a slow first few rounds. Im glad I finished the third and fourth round strong. The playoff was definitely a great experience for me on the PGA Tour.The 21-year-old South Korean sent his approach down a slope into the rough between two grandstands on the fourth playoff hole. He chipped to 5 feet but Baddeley closed it out before Woo finished.I was just telling myself, `Lets end this right here. Come on, Baddeley said. The first couple of putts (in the playoff), I didnt quite swing it the way it needed to be swung. I just let it swing and it was going up over the hill and I was like, `Oh wait, this looks really good.Kim had a two-stroke lead before a bogey on the 18th hole after putting within 9 inches on his par attempt. Baddeley parred to force the playoff.The weather turned steamy after a light drizzle on the final regulation holes.Former Auburn University player Michael Johnson finished a stroke back after a 65 in his first professional tournament, a few miles from campus. He just missed a potential birdie putt on his final hole that would have landed him in the playoff.I felt like I belonged out here this week, which is great, Johnson said.Richard H. Lee (65), Michael Thompson (65), Andres Gonzales (67) and Jhonattan Vegas (72) all finished at 15 under.Vegas opened the day with a three-stroke lead and five holes to go to complete the rain-delayed third round. He posted four bogeys and an eagle over the first nine holes, two days after setting the course record with a 60.nike vapormax plus γυναικεια .

As he recorded his 23rd and 24th points of the evening, a segment of the sellout Air Canada Centre crowd expressed their appreciation for the Raptors point guard with a smattering of MVP chants.Anyone watching Isaac Heeney take down Mark Blicavs last Friday wouldnt be surprised he learnt to tackle deep in the heart of rugby league country.The young, comparatively pocket-sized Sydney star outpaced and outmuscled Blicavs, at one point jamming the Geelong big mans arm in an unplanned wrestling move he admitted felt a bit weird.It was one of seven tackles laid by Heeney during the 37-point preliminary final thumping, in a 28-possession performance that was close to best on ground.The 20-year-olds ability to hold his own against larger, older bodies was fostered on the family farm in the tiny NSW town of Stockrington, between Newcastle and Cessnock.It was an upbringing tested by hardship but also one fondly remembered for backyard smackdowns with big brother Beau and father Adam, a former first-grade rugby league player.We would play rugby league, throw the footy to each other and it was biggest hit wins, Heeney said.Wed start with touch and end up pretty competitive trying to put a shot on each other.I think Beau made me cry more than I made him.Heeney, whose mother Rochelle is a former elite swimmer, started his sporting love affair with soccer, scoring 68 goals in 12 games at an early age.He then played up an age level in cricket with a batting average of 216 before the Swans academy snapped him up as a 12-year-old.Heeney also scored five tries in the grand final of a school rugby league tournament, but that he only dabbled in the code was against the grain for a Novocastrian.ddddddddddddRugby league, being at schools in Newcastle, was massive, he said.If you didnt play it you got bullied a little bit - not that I got bullied much.No one would have dared, given that by 15 the laid-back blonde-haired surfer had already made his senior debut for Cardiff in the hard-as-nails Black Diamond League.It was pretty physical and I was able to play that top level - the Premier League - at a young age.Growing up with bigger bodies helped with that as well.Heeney made his AFL debut last year in the Swans forward line alongside the likes of Lance Franklin and Kurt Tippett, where his impact earned him the 2015 AFL Players Association rookie award.In Saturdays grand final against the Western Bulldogs hell likely be deployed further up the field, where hes been thriving on the added physicality in recent weeks.Im moving into the midfield and playing that wing role, said Heeney, this years recipient of the AFL Coaches Associations award for best young player.With that Im able to run defensively pretty hard.Our game is based a lot on defence so if I can get back and outnumber and support in defence its a massive contribution.
