Redskins top Steelers in preseason opener

Rex Grossman's opening statement in his case to become the Washington Redskins' starting quarterback was an 89-yard drive that didn't produce a point. He made up for it, sort of, with an 82-yard drive for a touchdown against a second-string defense.

Jamerson shoots 77 on first day of PGA championships

JOHNS CREEK, Ga. — Although Faber Jamerson wasn’t ready to call his buddies and brag about Thursday’s 7-over 77 in the first round of the PGA Championship, the first-timer’s downfall wasn’t shaky nerves. "I felt fine. It was a new experience for me — my first Tour event being a major," said Jamerson, the general manager at Falling River Country Club in Appomattox, who is tied for 129th in the 156-man field, 14 strokes off the lead of Steve Stricker, who tied the major championship record with a 63.

Jamerson seeking top-10 finish in first major, PGA Championship

APPOMATTOX — The members at Falling River Country Club have the best of intentions. As they walk into the pro shop or linger around the clubhouse, they offer Faber Jamerson encouragement. Go get ’em, they say. Go down and make the cut. The words "make the cut" make Jamerson cringe, just a little bit. He’s a little too competitive to go to a four-round tournament hoping to stick around for the weekend, whether it’s the State Open of Virginia or the PGA Championship. Today, Jamerson will make the walk to the first tee at the Atlanta Athletic Club at 7:50 a.m., surely a bundle of nerves. That comes with the territory of playing in a major championship for the first time, representing the fulfillment of a lifetime of hard work. But he won’t be trying to just make the cut.
