LA QUINTA, Calif. - Luke Donald is playing the Humana Challenge for the first time in a bid to keep pace on the West Coast swing.The 37-year-old Englishman opened the year last week in Hawaii with a tie for 51st in the Sony Open and will play next month at Torrey Pines and Riviera.The last few years I played a lot in the Middle East, said Donald, set to open play Thursday. I think with the new wraparound schedule, I feel like in previous years (Riviera) has been kind of my first event of the year and I feel like Im getting left behind a little bit. Some guys have played eight and nine events and Im playing my first or second.Hes skipping the Match Play event April 29-May 3 in San Francisco because of a conflict with his brothers wedding. Donald won the 2011 Match Play tournament in Arizona.He set his wedding date before the tournament decided to change the date, Donald said. He thought that it was a free week that I dont usually play. ... I told him I would definitely be at his second wedding, but he didnt find that too funny.Donald is working full-time again with instructor Pat Goss, his coach at Northwestern, after shifting to Chuck Cook last year for help with his full swing .Its certainly easier to have one coach rather than split short game and full swing, and certainly its been fun being back with Pat, Donald said.No. 1 in the world for 56 weeks in 2011-12, hes 34th now. Donald won the last of his 13 worldwide titles in November 2013 in the Dunlop Phoenix in Japan. He has five PGA Tour victories, the last in 2012.___A SOLDIERS GAME: Chad Pfeifer, a 33-year-old teaching professional who lost his left leg in Iraq, is playing in the pro-am competition.Pfeifer started playing golf in 2007 while rehabbing at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio. His leg was amputated above the knee after his vehicle has hit by a roadside bomb.Golf saved my life, Pfeifer said.Hes paired with Baltimore Orioles pitcher Bud Norris. They will play alongside PGA Tour players Scott Langley and Brendon de Jonge in the first round.A contestant on Golf Channels Big Break series, Pfeifer is a three-time Warrior Open winner, the 2011 National Amputee champion and tied for fifth last year in the American Century celebrity event. He played college baseball at Northwest Nazarene in Idaho.Im representing thousands of my brothers and sisters who fought and continue to fight for our country, Pfeifer said.He teaches at the Golf Club of Estrella in Goodyear, Arizona.___IN-N-OUT ALLOWANCE: Jason Dufner has lost more than 20 pounds through exercise and a gluten-free diet after struggling with shoulder problems last year.Hes serving as a Humana Well-Being Ambassador during the Humana-sponsored tournament.All those things that you like to eat I pretty much dont eat anymore, Dufner said.He hasnt gone completely cold turkey.Ive been clean since that In-N-Out burger Sunday, Dufner said. Probably be the only one I eat all year. So, theres allowances here and there.___DESERT DNA: Sam Saunders played his way into the event grandfather Arnold Palmer won a record five times.Its a huge accomplishment for me and just a great feeling of knowing that I have earned my spot in this field and it wasnt given to me, said Saunders, a PGA Tour rookie after earning his card last year on the Web.com Tour.Playing on sponsor exemptions, Saunders missed the cuts in 2010, 11 and 12.I was glad to see I got in on my own number comfortably this week, Saunders said. It just gives me a feeling of belonging and knowing that Im just out here to do my job and Im just one of the other guys and trying to do the best I can to have a chance to win a golf tournament.Palmer won the inaugural tournament in 1960 and added victories in 1962, 68, 71 and 73. He also won the 1959 Thunderbird Invitational in the area. PGA Wests Arnold Palmer Private Course is the host layout.___HOMEGROWN: Byron Smith is making his first appearance in his hometown event.The 33-year-old Smith won the Web.com Tours Rex Hospital Open last year in North Carolina and finished 21st on the regular-season money list to earn a PGA Tour card.Its pretty unreal for me to play in this thing finally, Smith said. I grew up here in the desert and been coming here for a long time. So, to play in it is pretty special. ... Its a home game. Im just super excited because its a dream come true.Smith tied for 19th in his PGA Tour debut in the season-opening Frys.com Open in October. He missed the cut last week in the Sony Open.

Bishop Sankey ran for 95 yards and two scores to tie Washingtons career touchdown record and the Huskies went on to beat BYU 31-16 in the Fight Hunger Bowl on Friday night. "I cant say enough about these guys," interim coach Marques Tuiasosopo said. "They wanted it and through some turmoil they stayed focused, they came together as a team and came here with a purpose." Keith Price added a 16-yard TD pass to Austin Seferian-Jenkins, and John Ross returned a kick 100 yards for another score to help the Huskies (9-4) win their most games since going 11-1 and winning the Rose Bowl in 2000. The game capped a whirlwind stretch for the Huskies that began with Sarkisian leaving for Southern California. Chris Petersen was hired away from Boise State to take over at Washington, and Tuiasosopo coached the bowl game on an interim basis. The Huskies won just their second bowl game since Tuiasosopo led them to that Rose Bowl win over Purdue 13 years ago. "We all know what hes done here as a player," Sankey said. "It makes it that much easier when a coach leaves when you have a guy like Coach Tui." Taysom Hill threw for 293 yards and ran for 133 yards and a score, and Justin Sorensen kicked three field goals for the Cougars (8-5), who had their four-game bowl winning streak snapped. But Sorensen also missed one in the third quarter after an interception by Robertson Daniel gave BYU prime field position, and the Cougars allowed two long kickoff returns, including one for a touchdown. "Taysom led our team really well," coach Bronco Mendenhall said. "He played hard, he played physical. He gave us a great chance to win the game and stay in it. I told my team I was proud of them. I liked how hard they played. Our special teams needed to execute better." The defence led the way for Washington, holding the Cougars to four field goal attempts and one touchdown on five drives inside the Huskies 30. The Huskies were much more efficient on their scoring drives, with Sankey scoring on a pair of 11-yard runs in the first half to give him 338 career touchdowns, tying the school record held by George Wilson (1923-25).dddddddddddd "Bishop has done a great job of carrying us all season," Price said. "We know we need to feed the horse. Hes been a work horse for us all year." Price then led a touchdown drive to open the third quarter, capping it with a well-placed throw to Seferian-Jenkins on third-and-8 to make it 28-16. Seferian-Jenkins said after the game he will leave school early to enter the NFL draft. "It has nothing to do with Coach Petersen," he said. "I have a lot of respect for him, but ultimately it was a family and financial decision." Price went 17 for 23 for 123 yards before leaving with an apparent rib injury in the second half. Sankey also sat out the fourth quarter because of a hand injury, but it didnt matter. Backup quarterback Cyler Miles had a 32-yard run to set up Travis Coons 45-yard field goal that made it 31-16 midway through the fourth. A strong defensive effort led by Hauoli Kikaha (three sacks) and John Timu (14 tackles, one sack and an interception) kept BYU off the scoreboard for the entire second half as the Huskies moved their safeties closer to the line of scrimmage to take away short passes. "Guys come up and load the box, we need to be able to throw the ball," Hill said. "As a quarterback thats what you want. They came down in man pressure, pushed us out of bounds and we missed a few opportunities that way. Not only that but if the protection holds up a little longer then we give guys on the outside and inside long enough to work the routes and get open." Tuiasosopo was aggressive in his first game as head coach, going for it twice in the first quarter on fourth-and-short. Sankey converted the first but was stopped for a 9-yard loss by Kyle Van Noy on the second try. That was one of the few times the Cougars stopped Sankey, who scored on Washingtons first and last possessions of the first half to give the Huskies a 21-16 lead at the break. The game made history by being the first ever in the FBS with two female officials. Sarah Thomas was the line judge and Maia Chaka was the head linesman based on their work in Conference USA this season. cheap jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
