CASARES, Spain -- Top-ranked Lee Westwood may have been giving an honest assessment of his victorious opponents play but it sounded like sour grapes. A rare defeat for the worlds top player left his No. 1 ranking hanging by a thread. Westwood followed up a couple of convincing group-stage wins at the World Match Play Championship by shooting a 67 in his last-16 match against Ryder Cup teammate Ian Poulter. He still lost by 1 hole and could be supplanted as No. 1 by Englands Luke Donald or German Martin Kaymer on Sunday. Maybe he just isnt used to losing but Westwood didnt mince his words. "You know hes not going to hit it great but hes going to make a lot of putts and get up and down from everywhere, which was typical Ian today," Westwood said. "He had a few breaks as well. "Thats the frustrating thing about match play ... sometimes its not reflective of how the players are playing." Poulter, thrilled to have taken the scalp of the No. 1 and someone with whom he engages in regular Twitter banter, did his best not to bite. "Im not going to get in a tennis match with Lee," said Poulter, before giving a solid defence of his game. "I played lovely. I hit three bad shots in that whole round of golf. "I played pretty well this morning. Actually, I played very well. I shot a 66 to win that match. Thats golf. I mean thats perfect match-play golf right there ... I played damn good." Poulter was understandably delighted with his performance -- winless in 2011 and with only two top-10 finishes on tour, he hasnt had much to celebrate this year. "I havent done much for four months so Im not going to sit here and start welling up because I holed a few putts ... Give me a break," he said. Westwood acknowledged his putter let him down to a certain extent against Poulter but couldnt hide his exasperation at the amount of breaks his opponent seemed to get, in his opinion. Of the many "turning points" Westwood spoke of, the biggest came on the par-3 17 when the pair were all square. Poulter pulled his tee shot but the ball ran round the bank at the back-left of the green and rolled down, landing two feet away from the hole. Poulter tapped in for birdie and held his nerve on the last. "He didnt hit a great shot at 17, wasnt aiming for the left fringe and comes down to two foot," Westwood said. "You have those days in match play." Poulter, one of the circuits great scramblers, acknowledged he had been fortunate on that occasion but again held back. "Lee will be very frustrated about being 19 under through 45 holes (this week). Id be frustrated as well. I guess, Im annoying to play against in the match-play format. I hole putts at the right time." Poulter wasnt finished there on Saturday. In the afternoon, he won the last four holes -- making birdie on the final three -- in a terrific rally to beat Italys Francesco Molinari by 2 holes in a tight quarter-final. He plays Belgiums Nicolas Colsaerts next with a place in the final at stake. With his match-play pedigree, Poulter will be hard to beat. "I wouldnt mind playing about six (match-play events) a year -- that would shorten my schedule nicely," Poulter said. Westwood heads to Wentworth, England for next weeks PGA Championship but may tee off on Thursday no longer at No. 1, despite recent tournament victories in Korea and Indonesia. "My game is in great shape," he said. Cheap NFL Jerseys China .

The Mavs, who will also visit Golden State on their quick trek, have faltered a bit recently, losing for the second time in three games on Saturday when Kobe Bryant scored 16 points despite rolling his ankle during the third quarter, and the Los Angeles Lakers got back in the win column with a 96-91 victory in Dallas. http://www.cheapjerseyschinanfl.us.com/ .

The draw is the seventh in eight games for Colorado (4-3-7), which hasnt lost during that span. For Philadelphia (6-3-3), the draw snaps a two-game winning streak. Conor Casey opened the scoring for Colorado in the 63rd minute after Rapids midfielder Pablo Mastroeni went down in the penalty area and slight contact with a ball in the air. COMMERCE CITY, Colo. -- Kosuke Kimura saw Drew Moor standing mere steps outside the crease and reacted in kind. The Colorado defender put the cross on goal where Moor had a chance to get to the ball. "Drew Moor is on one of the best at putting a header into the net," Kimura said. "There was never a question of where I was taking that ball." Moor scored in the 44th minute and the Rapids beat the Columbus Crew 2-0 on Saturday, giving first-year coach Oscar Pareja a victory in the season opener. "It was a great all-around effort for Drew, who was very good on defence as well," said Pareja, who was awarded a game ball. "This game was satisfying because everyone came together to get us this win." Quincy Amarikwa added a goal in the 89th minute. Moors goal was set up when glare from the sun caused Columbus goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum to mishandle Rapids defender Kosuke Kimuras lob. The ball went through Gruenebaums hands and off the end line. "I never figured the sun to be down that low and because of the sun, I lost sight of it," Gruenebaum said. "Once I got out of the sun, I realized I wasnt under it, had to back peddle and was off balance enough to drop the ball." Kimura took the ensuing corner kick and sent in a long entry kick. The ball deflected to the left side of the goal to Moor for a header that went past Gruenebaum. "I had been positioning myself for a header on previous possessions," Moor said of the goal. "Kosuke put in a perfect ball and when it got to me that would have been one of those that it would have been harder to miss than score.ddddddddddddquot; Matt Pickens made three saves and had his 34th career shutout and 23rd with the Rapids. Pickens preserved the shutout with an acrobatic save of a ball that caromed off several players in front of the goal. Colorado played without forward Conor Casey (torn left Achilles), midfielder Jamie Smith (torn right ACL) and defender Anthony Wallace (torn left Achilles). "It was a tough assignment for us," Columbus coach Robert Warzycha said. "We kept it close by limiting them to very few chances and the chances we had came from us." The Rapids had the only other quality scoring chance in the first half. Omar Cummings picked up an unforced error in the Columbus end and broke in alone on Gruenebaum. But the goalkeeper came out and kicked away Cummings left-footed shot in the 18th minute. Columbus had a scoring chance in the fifth minute. Eddie Gaven picked up a loose ball and kicked a low drive from 40 yards that Pickens smothered with both hands. Milovan Mirosevic had a free kick knocked down by the wall in the 27th minute for the Crews only other scoring chance in the first half. Cummings missed two more chances to start the second half. He picked up turnovers but sent two shots well over the crossbar. The Colorado forward tried to squeeze a cross to Scott Palguta but Gruenebaum got to the ball ahead of Palguta in the 52nd minute. cheap nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys cheap jerseys cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys Rafael Ramos Jersey ' ' '
