TWICKENHAM, London -- When Leroy Houston stood, wearing his first cap, in the bowels of Twickenham as Wallaby No. 901 moments after Australia defeated Argentina, he didnt know whether to laugh or cry -- in the end it was a combination of both.The pride at making his debut for Australia was writ large on his face; the smile looked like it would never fall.I cant put it into words, Houston said. Its an amazing feeling to become a Wallaby.... Far out! Ive aspired for a long time to become one and I didnt think Id get to this level.Its been a hard journey... but ... just to get that opportunity to run out with Quade Cooper and Michael Hooper, these boys are going to be legends, so Im so happy.It was a long, turbulent journey for Houston to get to this point.Capped at U19, U21 and A level, Houston ticked all the boxes but didnt get the nod at Test level despite being on their 2005 tour. He was part of the 2011 Super Rugby-winning Reds side but then he journeyed to Bordeaux where his career nose-dived. Dreams of Test rugby were a world away.He didnt adjust to French rugby, finding he was unsuited to the attritional nature. When I went to France that was when I questioned myself and whether I was good enough to play professional rugby. I was really down in the dumps, Houston says but then an unlikely olive-branch came from Colomiers in PROD2 and he fell back in love with the game.Bath picked him up in 2013 and the town, club, players and supporters took him to their heart. He excelled at the Recreation Ground but at the end of last season he left to return to the Reds with Michael Cheika teeing him up as a future Wallaby.He failed to break into the side for the June Tests against England but here in the final match of the Rugby Championship he managed to get that previously elusive first cap as a 70th minute substitute for Lopeti Timani. Emotions had to be suppressed.That was the number one mental focus. Trying not to contain emotions, but just to be clear minded about my job, maintaining the system that Australia has both in attack and defence. Im a ball carrier but I didnt actually touch the ball!The cap is likely to stay on his head for the next couple of days while his Test shirt will eventually be framed on the wall of his family home alongside his other representative shirts. A 901 tattoo may follow.But over the next couple of days he will return to Bath, where he is currently on loan due to their back-row injury crisis. It is his home from home and his Bath teammates Matt Garvey, Matt Banahan and Kane Palma-Newport were there at Twickenham to welcome him as he walked off the bus.These boys are the reason Im here today. If I hadnt played for Bath and played to the potential I have, I wouldnt be here today.He is unlikely to feature in Australias third Bledisloe Cup match against New Zealand -- Cheika said earlier in the week theyd let Bath keep him over the next couple of weeks as a thank you for releasing him for the Test against Argentina -- but will be hopeful of featuring in the end-of-year Tests.The perfect end to Houstons year would be to face England, complete with some of his Bath teammates, on Dec. 3 at Twickenham.Im hoping, fingers crossed, that happens. I dont know what the coaches are thinking. I hope to be involved and if that did come around, Id love to play the likes of George Ford and Jonathan Joseph. Buy Cheap Kd .

ENDICOTT, N.Y. -- Its been five years since Jean Van de Velde retired from professional golf. Now, two months after turning 50, he figures its time for a comeback.That will come this weekend at the Dicks Sporting Goods Open on the PGAs senior circuit.You feel like you kind of miss the adrenaline of competing, and I have to say thats not something that goes away that easily, said Van de Velde, whose claim to golfing fame was his spectacular meltdown on the 72nd hole of the 1999 British Open at Carnoustie. Unfortunately, my clubs are not really listening right now.The last time Van de Velde played as a touring pro was in 2011. Since then, he says, hes played about 10 to 20 casual rounds per year. When he tees off on Friday with Kirk Triplett and Craig Stadler for the opening round at En-Joie Golf Club, itll be his PGA Tour Champions debut on a course he first played Wednesday.Since his retirement, Van de Velde has spent the last five years running the French Open, a European Tour event that was held last week. He didnt fly across the Atlantic Ocean until Tuesday.I have zero expectations how well I can swing the club, he said Wednesday during a news conference. I have to have low standards.In the summer of 1999, Van de Velde overcame the Scottish wind, tight fairways, thick rough and imposing hazards remarkably well in a major where the cut fell at 12 over par. He played the first three rounds at even par and had a five-shot lead over Craig Perry and Justin Leonard.Van de Velde still maintained a three-shot cushion when he teed off at No. 18 that Sunday. What followed was a flurry of mistakes that ended with a triple bogey and made Van de Velde a household name. The sight of him removing his shoes and socks and gingerly stepping through shin-deep water as he debated whether to try to hit his ball out of the Barry Burn remains etched on the minds of anybody who witnessed it.dddddddddddd.Van de Velde fell into a tie and he lost a four-hole playoff with Paul Lawrie and Leonard. Lawrie won the playoff and Van de Velde failed to become the first Frenchman since 1907 to win the tournament.His desire to compete remains, and Van de Velde will be able to do it again against familiar foes.I want to compete with the guys that Ive been playing with over the years. I want to play, he said. I stopped because, you know, not that my time has gone but youre 44 years of age, you have four children, you want to see them grow up, you want to be there a little more.Missing from the Dicks field will be runaway Schwab Cup leader Bernhard Langer, who has three wins and $1.5 million in earnings this year. Jeff Maggert, who shot a bogey-free 6-under 66 in the final round last year to overcome a four-shot deficit and beat Paul Goydos by two shots, returns to defend his title, while Vijay Singh will be making his first appearance at En-Joie.Perhaps most riveting of all, though, will be the return of long-hitting John Daly, who won the 1992 B.C. Open at En-Joie. Daly turned 50 in late April and will be making his seventh start on the Champions Tour and first at En-Joie since his final B.C. Open appearance in 1995.Daly tees off Friday in the final group with Michael Allen and Billy Andrade.Im excited to go back. Its been a long time, Daly said. ' ' '
