Jhonattan Vegas certainly has the name and attire to mix it with Sydneys movers and shakers, but more importantly he showed he has the game to challenge for the Australian Open and add his name to a trophy that features some of golfs greatest names.Decked out in a fluoro orange shirt that would rival any bright light in Nevada, Vegas tore up Royal Sydneys front nine with five straight birdies on Friday morning before surviving a mini-meltdown to put himself firmly in contention at five-under ahead of the weekend action.The course played a lot different to this morning than it did yesterday, Vegas said after posting a six-under 66.It was playing pretty hard [yesterday], the greens firm, fast, wind blowing; it was really hard the way it was playing yesterday.So softer greens, great greens, the ball was rolling really good on the greens; it was easy to make putts. But overall I feel like I played a pretty solid round...and we had a lot of fun, that was key, too.What makes Vegas round all the more impressive is the fact he only arrived in Sydney and had just one look at the course before opening up with a one-over 73 on Thursday.The first thing I told my caddie when I got here on Wednesday was that I really liked the course, I really like the area, I like everything, he said.So that was definitely a good start and, yeah, obviously there are different types of golf courses, but Im doing a good job with my caddie to get things going.Vegas is the only other international attraction of note in Sydney this week outside American superstar Jordan Spieth, though the Venezuelan has been playing second fiddle to Australias Adam Scott.Aaron Baddeley has completed the pairing over the first two days at Royal Sydney, but there is no doubt whom the galleries have come to see with Scotts birdies pulling double the cheers of his playing partners on Friday.Not that Vegas sees it that way.Was it for Adam or was it for me? I thought it was for me, Vegas joked when asked about the swarms of people that hurried for vantage points of the former Masters winner and current world No.7.No, obviously hes a big athlete here in Australia and every time you can get a crowd like that it has a different feel, so its a good atmosphere out there.And anytime you can play with a top-10 player, too, is always fun and [Scott] is such a great guy, too, so its even better.Vegas was just two shots shy of the clubhouse lead midway through the afternoon wave on Friday.

After taking two big hits this week -- losing at home and dropping back-to-back games for the first time all season -- Indiana struck back by playing its most complete game of the year. RIO DE JANEIRO -- For beating Allyson Felix, Shaunae Miller gets a gold medal. Maybe they should give her a cape, too.It took a head-first dive, Superwoman-style, for Miller to spring an Olympic upset Monday over Americas top female sprinter in the 400 meters and deny her a record fifth gold medal.Miller, a 22-year-old from the Bahamas who finished second to Felix at the world championships last year, took an early lead, then held off her charge along the straightaway. Neck-and-neck with two steps to go, Miller sprawled, dove and tumbled across the line to win by .07 seconds.Now, instead of a coronation for Felix, its a celebration for Miller, whose dive will go down as one of the most dramatic images weve seen at these, or any, Olympics.This is the moment I have been waiting for, Miller said. I just gave it my all.And she didnt even get the evenings biggest roars. Those went to pole vaulter Thiago Braz da Silva, who gave Brazil its first medal in track and field by setting an Olympic record (6.03 meters) to upset world-record holder and defending champion Renaud Lavillenie of France.But outside of Brazil, theyll be talking about The Dive.Starting from Lane 7, Miller expanded the lag, instead of getting gobbled up the way most women do when Felix is on the track.Stride for stride they ran down the last 100 meters, until the last few steps. Felix, classically trained by Bobby Kersee, made a textbook lean into the finish line. Miller tried something else. The dive is something no coach would ever teach. Then again, amazing things happen with a gold medal on the line.I was just focused on myself, Felix said when asked about the dive. I didnt really have too many thoughts on it.As Miller lay on her back, gasping for breath and maybe even stunned herself at what shed done, Felix sat on the ground stone-faced. Ten seconds passed. Then 20.While Miller jumped with her arms flailing forward, the rules say the win is determined by which athlete has any part of her torso cross the line first. The photo finish showed the negative image of Millers sprawled-out body. Her shoulder barely beat Felix to the line.ddddddddddddThe result popped up on the scoreboard: Miller won in 49.44 seconds. The bronze went to Jamaicas Shericka Jackson.What a finish. What a race.It marked quite a disappointment for Felix, whose season just didnt turn out the way she planned it.I dont think I ever quite had a year this tough, Felix said, as her eyes welled with tears.She was one of those rare athletes who had the cachet to get the Olympics to change the schedule. After winning the world championship at 400 meters last year, she put the 200-400 double in her sights for the Olympics. The schedule as it was originally written made it impossible: The 200 heats were scheduled for the same evening as the 400 final.Felix asked, and she received: The 200 heats were moved to the morning to give Americas best female sprinter a chance for the two-fer.But she never got to the starting line in the 200. She landed awkwardly on a medicine ball while doing core work in the gym during the spring and her ankle swelled up like a balloon.Suddenly, what once was a quest for two golds transformed into a struggle to simply make the Olympic team. She did in the 400 but not in the 200. Then, Miller showed up and handed Felix her third Olympic disappointment. This silver goes with the pair she won in 2004 and 2008 in the 200.Even so, she became the most decorated U.S. female track star, with seven overall medals, including three in the relays.But this was Millers night.The flagbearer for her country in the opening ceremonies, Miller came into the games 5 for 5 in her races this season, including Diamond League meets in Shanghai, Eugene and London.Now shes 6 for 6.A wild finish to a crazy night.It began with a downpour that stopped action in all the events and put the DJ to work, playing Singing In The Rain, Umbrella, and I Cant Stand the Rain, among other fare, while the fans waited out the delay.Those who stayed got their moneys worth.Miller got a few scratches and scrapes, but she also got the gold.
