TROON, Scotland -- French golfer Clement Sordet woke up at 4 a.m. on Friday to text messages asking if he was safe following the tragedy in his hometown of Nice.In fact, Sordet was on the west coast of Scotland for the British Open at Royal Troon, but his girlfriend, Marie, and her family were in Nice and celebrating Bastille Day when a truck plowed through revelers gathered along the Riviera citys waterfront promenade. At least 84 people were killed.Sordet said the tragedy happened about 500 meters from where he lives.Its a really sad situation, the 23-year-old Sordet said. I give my thoughts to all the families and to the people who died.He said his girlfriend, her family and his friends are safe.Sordet used a blue marker to write the words Pray For Nice on his cap for his second round. He was in the first group out for the second round at 6:35 a.m., and shot 4-over 75.I tried not to think about, thats why I had this on my hat, Sordet said, pointing to the side of his cap. I just tried to enjoy the last day at the Open.Sordet was born in Charbonnieres-les-Bains, near Lyon. He moved to Nice, where his girlfriend is from. He wont be back there for another two weeks because he is about to play in back-to-back tournaments.Sordet said he wouldnt be nervous going back to France. The attack in Nice has rocked a nation still dealing with the aftermath of two attacks in Paris last year that killed a total of 147 people.Im really proud to be French, he said. We need to support each other.Victor Dubuisson, who was born in Cannes, a city just down the coast from Nice in southeastern France, is the other French golfer in the British Open field. Dubuisson tees off in the afternoon.The French flag that flies above the grandstand at the 18th green, along with the banners of every other nation represented in the 156-player field, was lowered to half-staff Friday.The R&A, which organizes the British Open, has made black ribbons available for players and caddies to wear as a mark of respect to those who died in the attack in Nice.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee quarterback Joshua Dobbs eye-popping numbers against an overmatched opponent last week were most notable for what was missing.For the first time all season, Dobbs didnt commit a single turnover in a game as Tennessee rolled to a 55-0 victory over Football Championship Subdivision program Tennessee Tech. He wants to carry that momentum Saturday as Tennessee (6-3, 2/3 SEC) hosts Kentucky (5-4, 4-3).Its just big for the team just to play a clean game, a very efficient game, the pass game, the run game, Dobbs said. We had big plays. We drove the ball efficiently on third down. Just overall the execution was high. It was great just to have an efficient game. Weve got to play with that kind of efficiency to finish the season strong and be where we want to be.Turnovers have been an issue for Dobbs this year.He has thrown 11 interceptions in nine games after being picked off just five times in 13 games last season. Dobbs threw five interceptions and lost three fumbles during a three-game losing streak. That included two interceptions and one fumble in a stunning 24-21 loss at South Carolina.Thats why it was important for Dobbs to avoid mistakes and play well last week, even if he was facing an FCS defense. Dobbs went 12 of 13 and threw three touchdown passes before leaving the game late in the second quarter.When you have an off week and youre able to follow it up with a really good week, it definitely feels good just to get back in a rhythm, Dobbs said.Dobbs acknowledged he didnt play up to his standards against South Carolina, but he didnt let that performance carry over. His coaches marvel at how well Dobbs manages his emotions under any situation, a trait that continued even after the South Carolina game.I didnt see any panic, offensive coordinator Mike DeBord said. I didnt see where he was down at all. I just saw Josh Dobbs. Thats what you love about the kid. Every day he brings the same mentaliity, same attitude.dddddddddddd. Everythings the same. He doesnt get high. He doesnt get low. Thats important, especially at that position.Dobbs utilizes the same approach off the field, which has enabled the senior aerospace engineering major to earn many honors that arent necessarily related to athletics. The latest one came Tuesday when Dobbs was selected to the Omicron Delta Kappa leadership honor society, which recognizes high achievers in various fields. Members of the society have included Tennessee legends Peyton Manning and Pat Summitt.But as serious as Dobbs may seem on most occasions, he believes its also important to recognize that hes playing a game. Dobbs said part of the reason the Volunteers finally ended its slide last week and started playing better was that they began having fun again.It was great for the team to go out and just have fun, to enjoy the game we grew up loving, the game we grew up playing as kids, Dobbs said. Just go out and have fun. Obviously there are a lot bigger implications within the game, bigger meanings. But at the end of the day, it is a game, and youre supposed to go out and enjoy it every time you step on the field.Dobbs traditionally has plenty of fun against Kentucky.He has won all three of his previous starts against the Wildcats. Dobbs threw two touchdown passes and ran for two more scores in a 52-21 blowout at Kentucky last season. Two years ago, Dobbs threw three touchdown passes and ran for a fourth score in a 50-16 triumph over Kentucky.My past performances versus a certain opponent dont dictate future performances, Dobbs said. I have to go out and prepare well if I want to play well again this week.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Steve Megargee at www.twitter.com/stevemegargee ' ' '
