SPRINGFIELD, N.J. -- Until a couple weeks ago, Rich Beem didnt know if he was going to play at the PGA Championship.Good thing he did.Beem shot a 69 in his opening round Thursday, his first sub-70 score in a major since 2006. The 45-year-old followed with a 71 Friday to make cut for the first time in the PGA Championship since 2012.Not bad for a guy who has played only one tournament -- the PGA Championship -- in each of the last two years.Beem took to Twitter on Friday afternoon to share his excitement: Holy crap I made the cut!!! Thanks for all tweets, sorry I cant reply to them all!!! Cheers!Saturday, Beem had four bogeys and two birdies for a 72. He was at 3 over for the tournament, no chance of winning, but assured his first tournament check since 2013.Just dont look for any comeback.As fun as this has been, this is the most golf Ive played in a very long time and by the time we are done for tomorrow, it will be like, `Thank you. That was awesome. Im done now. But Im hoping to go out there and put my best foot forward, Beem said.Battling tendinitis in his right shoulder, the 2002 PGA Champion said he was unsure if the pain would affect his swing at Baltusrol, and he didnt want to go out and hit a driver 260 yards when Rory McIlroy is hitting 360.No thanks. Ive got better things to do with my time, he said.But his shoulder felt better over the last few weeks, good enough for Beem to tee it up.I came up here a week ago and was able to hit golf balls and play 18 holes without it hurting so that was a good sign, he said.A full-time golf analyst for Sky Sports in Britain and very part-time golfer, Beem was given only five golf shirts from his sponsor, Horseshoe Bay in Texas. He didnt exactly know how to take it.I think they were thinking I would wear the first on Wednesday, Im going to go with that one, but no, I would have run out of shirts, Beem said. I had to do laundry on Thursday night. My wife did it for me and I just washed a few extra.Working as a television analyst even while competing, Beem was planning on wearing his Sky Sports shirts for the weekend, not his normal golf shirts, but he isnt one to complain. After his early round on Saturday, Beem was off to his full-time job to follow the leaders in the afternoon.Its nice to put the other shirts on for a little bit and now I have to go put the other ones on and go out to work again, Beem said after his Saturday round.Beems 69 in the first round topped that of Jordan Spieth, Phil Mickelson, Bubba Watson and Zach Johnson. That didnt last, and Beem wasnt surprised. This was all about sticking around for four days.To shoot 69 the first day was amazing but I think overall making the cut was even better, Beem said. Its been awesome. You get out here and this is what you want to do, even if you dont play golf full-time like I did.Beem has made it to the weekend round at the PGA Championship three times since his 2002 win.The former cellphone and car stereo salesman pulled a stunner in 2002 at Hazeltine when he beat Tiger Woods by one shot. Woods finished with four straight birdies, but the cheers didnt rattle Beem. He rolled in a 35-foot birdie putt on No. 16 and held his nerve to the end.He has a lifetime exemption to play in the PGA, and the only year he missed was in 2010 because of a back injury. For the last two years, its the only tournament he plays.It never enters my mind that I am taking somebody elses spot because its not their spot, its my spot, Beem said. Ive earned the right to play here every single year and thats my right, and Ill keep playing in it until I feel like Im not competitive anymore. Cheap Vans Shoes China .

Brazilian national coach Luiz Felipe Scolari has confirmed that the veteran goalkeeper is set to join Toronto on loan, saying it will help him be ready for the World Cup. ARLINGTON, Texas -- It has taken two starts for Texas left-hander Derek Holland to show hes back to pitching like the Texas Rangers hoped he would when the season started.Holland (6-6), who missed two months of the season with left shoulder inflammation, wants to continue that trend Saturday when he starts a pivotal game against Houston. Unlike the Rangers, who have been set with their rotation, the Astros didnt announce their starter for Saturday until Friday afternoon.Houstons decision to push left-hander Dallas Keuchel back out of the series because of fatigue means rookie right-hander Joe Musgrove (2-2) will get the start opposite Holland.The Astros would love for Musgrove to have a Holland-like impact as Friday nights 10-8 loss to the Rangers dropped Houston 9 1/2 games behind Texas. In his two stars since returning from the disabled list, Holland has been consistently good. In each start, he has pitched six innings and allowed one run.About the only person not making too much about his recent starts is Holland.Im just going to stay focused on who I am, Holland said. Im not going to let two starts dictate anything. Its definitely great to see, and Ive been working my butt off for this, but at the same time I want to continue to focus on whats ahead.Whats ahead could be another start in which Holland throws his fastball in the low 90s, which is down from where he was a couple of years ago. But Holland is learning to pitch with what he has, which is something he picked up from Hall of Famer Greg Maddux.Maddux was a special assistaant with the Rangers last year and won more than 300 games without overpowering hitters.ddddddddddddThats one thing he (Maddux) used to talk about, said Holland, who is 4-2 with a 4.31 ERA in 11 career starts vs. the Astros. Its not necessarily how hard you throw, but how you locate. Everything is working outstanding. Nothing is taking the same path, including my off-speed. We throw the same exact curveball the next pitch and it does not go the same route the other one did.Musgrove is capable of matching Holland. His first big-league start came against the Rangers and he dazzled, allowing one run in seven innings and striking out six. Hes coming off another solid outing in his last start, as he picked up his second win on Monday. He didnt allow a run in 5 1/3 innings against Oakland and struck out seven.With Houston clinging to faint American League West hopes against first-place Texas and the rotation in flux because of Keuchel, that puts a lot of pressure on Musgrove to perform.Manager A.J. Hinch has confidence that his young rotation is up to the challenge and knows they cant rely on Keuchel to carry the load.Ive got four other guys we have to prepare to pitch and having this anxiousness or this curiosity everyday as to whether Keuchel was going to get back into the rotation doesnt do these guys any favors, Hinch said. They need to be ready to pitch and map out their bullpen schedules and their routines. ' ' '
