SPRINGFIELD, N.J. - Jordan Spieth avoided a potentially contentious rules situation during the second round of the PGA Championship on Friday by repeatedly asking a rules official what he could do and making sure he signed off before hitting the shot.Spieth hit a wayward drive at the par-4 seventh hole - his 16th of the day after starting on the back nine - that came to rest in casual water on a cart path at Baltusrol Golf Club.The course was saturated after heavy rains early in the morning, the rules of golf allow a free drop in such a situation. But those rules also stipulate that if you get relief, you must take full relief - hence it took Spieth several tries to drop the ball in the correct spot. And yet, even when he did, television replays still showed him with a toe on the edge of casual water - a circumstance from which Spieth said PGA of America rules official Brad Gregory allowed him to proceed.It was really weird, Spieth said after signing for a 3-under-par 67 which put him at 137, 3-under-par through two rounds and four strokes back of Emilian Grillo.It was as complicated as Ive ever really had it. Took about as much time as Ive ever taken on a free drop.Several aspects of the Rules of Golf and the Decisions on the Rules of Golf came into play, complicating the scenario. His ball came to rest in casual water on an artificially surfaced path.Spieth showed Gregory that type of swing he would take if there had been no casual water on the path. (Decision 24-2b/1). Spieths stroke and direction were toward the hole. After going through the relief procedure, his ball was in play on the path and clear from his stance. When he dropped, Spieth had the option to select another type of stroke or another club to play the shot and chose to play a different angle.Because he elected to play in a different direction, based on Decision 20-2c/0.8, Spieth was entitled to either play the ball as it lay, even if his stance was still in the casual water, or he could have elected to take relief again from the casual water under this different stroke he elected to play, according to a PGA of America rules release.I just tried to find out exactly all the options I had and ultimately taking relief from casual water gave me the best opportunity to still drop it on the cart path, play it on the cart path, Spieth said. It took a while because of different drops. We werent sure where my stance would still be and it wasnt full relief.?Ultimately I still ended up playing with a toe in the water. Because the angle had changed from the angle of my stance looking at the pin, he (Gregory) said he was very happy with it, that it was relief and I was altering my stance to play a different shot, which is true, from where the other drop would have been - which is going right at it, Spieth said. ?There appeared to be a rules issue because Spieth played the shot with his foot on the edge of the water - meaning he had not taken full relief, an issue absolved by Gregory.I would have never hit if I was not told it was okay by a rules official, Spieth said. He told me it was fine. ... I never thought twice about it whatsoever. I dont think there was any problem with it. If there happens to be, then thats not on me. I asked every question I could ask and I got every answer I could to be content. Cheap Bo Jackson Jersey .

"For it to still be relevant is still shocking to me," she said. Sinclair joins legendary cancer activist Terry Fox, music producer Bob Ezrin, actor Victor Garber, pianist Oscar Peterson, actor Alan Thicke and human-rights advocates Craig and Marc Kielburger as the latest honorees to join the Walk of Fame. Sinclair — who led Canada to a bronze medal at last summers Olympics — said the Walk of Fame recognition is a reflection of what she and her teammates achieved in London. "It helped put womens soccer on the map," Sinclair, 30, said of Canadas performance. "And for mothers to come up to us after the Olympics and tell us, my daughter wants to play soccer because she thinks she can win a medal at the Olympics — thats incredible." Sinclair, along with the Kielburger brothers, are younger than most Walk of Fame inductees. But she doesnt want it to be a lifetime achievement award. "Ive got a long way to go still," Sinclair said, laughing. Craig Kielburger said his induction only fuels his own advocacy work, founding Free the Children and Me to We. "So much of our work is trying to get young people to follow their passions," said Kielburger, 30. "To be celebrated at a young age for the work that we do, I hope that it sends a symbol to other people not to wait." For 15 years, Canadas Walk of Fame has celebrated Canadians who have excelled in music, sport, film, television, as well as the literary, visual, performing arts, science and innovation, for at least a decade. But while Kielburger doesnt quite fit into that range, it is a reflection of a national identity. "Part of what I think makes us Canadian is our compassion," said Kielburger. "Celebrating that at the highest level is a wonderful ideal, because it shows young Canadians that that is quinteessentially Canadian.dddddddddddd" Dan McGrath, chair of Canadas Walk of Fames board of directors, takes great pleasure in the range of people the Walk recognizes. "Weve got a great balance of Canadians from many disciplines. We dont just focus on just music, or just the arts, and its really people who have made a difference in Canada," he said. Typically, the Canadian Walk of Fame honours one posthumous inductee with the Cineplex Legends award, but this year two are being welcomed: Fox and Peterson. "We decided to have two this year because we wanted to have a special recognition of Terry Fox as part of our 15-year anniversary," said McGrath. "Terry is just an incredible, incredible individual who inspired the entire country." With the introduction of smartphone voting, McGrath said participation for this years slate spiked, with nearly 30,000 Canadians from 130 countries submitting a nomination. Pop star Carly Rae Jepsen of Mission, B.C., was announced as the fourth winner of the Allan Slaight Award, which recognizes young and inspirational Canadians. Past recipients include the rapper Drake and jazz-pop singer Nikki Yanofsky. Jepsen will be performing at the award ceremony on Sept. 21 at the Elgin Theatre. This year also marked the first year the Walk of Fame has awarded the $25,000 RBC Emerging Artist Music Mentorship Prize, which gives up-and-coming musicians an opportunity to learn from established Canadian talent. Last week, Taylor Kurta, a 20-year-old self-taught guitarist and singer from Thornhill, Ont., won the cash prize and the chance to be mentored by Gord Sinclair of the Tragically Hip. The names of this years Walk of Fame inductees will be engraved on stars and displayed with those bearing the names of previous winners along King Street West and Simcoe Street in Toronto. Past inductees include rocker Bryan Adams, TV host Alex Trebek, comedian Phil Hartman and hockey great Bobby Orr. The induction ceremony will be broadcast nationally on Global Television and Slice this fall. ' ' '
