REGINA -- As their traditional home-and-home series approaches, the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers find themselves heading in opposite directions. Saskatchewan sits atop the West Division at 7-1 while Winnipeg is mired in the East Division basement at 1-7. With the Labour Day Classic at Mosaic Stadium on Sunday, followed by the Banjo Bowl in Winnipeg the following weekend, the Blue Bombers will be hoping to get on track and the Roughriders are looking to solidify their hold on first place. Rest assured, the Riders, who are in position to start a season 8-1 for the first time in franchise history, are not taking the Bombers lightly. "Im real pleased with the way the team practised this week," said head coach Corey Chamblin, adding that his players are taking their rivals "a hundred per cent seriously." Saskatchewan defensive tackle Tearrius George agrees with Chamblin that this years Roughriders have exhibited maturity and confidence, citing back-to-back victories in which the team has had to come from behind against the Montreal Alouettes and Edmonton Eskimos. "The last couple of games weve played, we had our backs against the wall and come out wins at the end," George said. Starting at quarterback for the Bombers will be Justin Goltz, who lacks experience but is now working with a new offensive co-ordinator, Marcel Bellefeuille, the replacement for the fired Gary Crowton. "I like what Coach Bellefeuille is doing," Goltz said. "He has really helped clear some stuff up. I really like stepping up to the line of scrimmage and having a process, having clear cut keys and directions to go with the football." Saskatchewan linebacker Renauld Williams says whoever happens to be at quarterback for the Bombers can expect to be staring at defence that will be "flying around" and applying great pressure. "We also have a lot of different looks we can give a quarterback," Williams said. "Weve been harping all week on just doing your job." The fact that the Riders will be in hot pursuit comes as no surprise to Goltz. "I expect them to come after us, both the fans and the team," he said. A sellout crowd of 45,000 is anticipated for the Labour Day Classic. "Its not only a big crowd, its a knowledgeable crowd," said Saskatchewan quarterbacks coach Khari Jones. "They know when to be quiet and when to be loud, to help our team." Added Roughrider centre Dominic Picard: "The 13th man will be there, absolutely." Despite their struggles, Goltz insists the Bombers are still fighting to turn things around. "I dont think anybodys given up on the season. I dont think anybodys given up on themselves," he said. "Guys come to work every day expecting to improve, expecting to get better. I dont think anythings a foregone conclusion." Saskatchewan slotback Geroy Simon said the Riders have to be wary of Winnipegs defence. "Were not going to take anybody lightly," because thats been the prevailing sentiment in Riderville this week. "Their front seven is very good," Simon said. "We have to take care of their rush ends, and make sure they dont screw up our game plan." Arguably the best way to offset the pass rush is with the ground game, and Saskatchewan possesses the most productive in the CFL, thanks to tailback Kory Sheets. "Hes just very patient," said Bombers head coach Tim Burke. "He just reads it, and then he sees the hole and goes. Thats where weve got to be good. Weve got to stay in our gaps and just hold him down." Winnipeg cornerback Brandon Stewart says the Bombers defence knows what it has to do to try and contain Sheets. "Weve got to be assignment-sharp, because (Sheets) has vision as a running back, and he has the speed to also bound it when he sees it," he said. "Everybody has to be in their gaps, or he can crease you. Hes shown it on multiple defences this year." Burke wants to see the Bombers put forth their best effort, but at the same time, he does not minimize the hurdles his team must overcome. "Obviously, theyre a very good football team," he said, "and Reginas a very tough place to play." Tough, and also noisy. "I imagine its even louder there this year than it has been in the past," Burke said, "because the one end is bowled in now. Theres a lot of challenges going in there." Saskatchewan is undefeated at Mosaic Stadium this season, and Rider quarterback Darian Durant said "its all about protecting our home turf." Winnipeg receiver Terrence Edwards points out that not on the side of the Bombers in the Labour Day Classic between the teams. "We havent won there in a while," he said, "and the last time we went there it was a butt whipping. It was, what, 52-0? Weve got to go in there and focus and try to win a game." The last time the Bombers won in Saskatchewan was 2004. "Were playing at a high level," Durant said. "We have the best record, and our record speaks for itself." Austin Seibert Jersey .

There will be no Down Under four-peat for Djokovic, as the eighth-seeded Swiss slugger Wawrinka outlasted the second seed 2-6, 6-4, 6-2, 3-6, 9-7 at Melbourne Parks Rod Laver Arena in yet another five-set thriller in their burgeoning rivalry.PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. -- The wind was so strong, the conditions so demanding, that Jimmy Walker felt like Saturday at the AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am was competing against the golf course instead of the rest of the field. Golfs hottest player wound beating them both. Walker finally made his first bogey of the tournament, and that was only a nuisance. He ran off five birdies at Monterey Peninsula for a 4-under 67, the best score of a blustery day, giving him a six-shot lead going into the final round. Walker went 187 starts on the PGA Tour without winning. He now has a chance to win for the third time in his last eight tournaments. He won the Frys.com Open last fall about an hour away at CordeValle. He won for the second time this season last month in Honolulu. In both those tournaments, Walker was trailing going into the last day. This time, he has the largest 54-hole lead at Pebble Beach since Phil Mickelson led by seven in 2005. Mickelson went on to win by four shots. "Ive never had whatever big lead this is going into the last round," Walker said. "Just go out and hit good shots and play good golf and see what happens." He was at 13-under 202. Tim Wilkinson of New Zealand had a 69 and Hunter Mahan had a 72, both at Monterey Peninsula. They were at 208. Havoc happened on Saturday on all three courses, particularly at Pebble Beach. The third round was not completed because of a delay lasting 2 hours, 19 minutes due to gusts at 30 mph that made golf balls roll off the green, mostly at Pebble Beach. In a three-course rotation, play has to be stopped at all three courses. The average score at Pebble Beach was just over 75. Jordan Spieth caught the brunt of it. Tied with Walker going into the third round, Spieth was 5-over through 15 holes when the round was halted by darkness. That included a pair of three-putts on the front nine when he went out in 40, and another three-putt from 18 feet. Spieth missed an 8-foot birdie putt on the 16th hole, and then chose to mark the 5-foot par putt he had coming back. Walker opened with a 66 at Pebble Beach when it was calm, the best time to play it. That doesnt mean he was off the hook on the Shore Course at Monterey Peninsula. He just had to play his best, and he did. On the par-3 ninth, typically a 6-iron, Walker smashed a 5-wood into the wind and couldnt reach the green. He made one birdie with an 8-iron from 140 yards, and was hitting 4-iron that went only about 165 yards. "It just feelss like a battle," Walker said.dddddddddddd"Youre not battling really anybody else. Youre not battling the field or a tournament. Youre just out there trying. The golf course is trying to beat you up." Richard Lee had a 72 at Spyglass Hill and was alone in fourth at 209. Phil Mickelson had a 71 at Spyglass and was among those eight shots behind. Only three players broke par at Pebble -- none better than Dustin Johnsons 70. Brendon Todd looked as if he might have one of those rounds until bogeys on the last two holes. "Nine and 10 are par 5s today. I couldnt reach either one," Todd said. "There were no birdie holes out there." Play was stopped about an hour after the last group teed off. It was a peculiar sight to see clouds gathering on the Pacific horizon, and officials trying to spray water on the greens to help balls stay on the putting surface. It didnt work. And when play resumed, Brian Gay was given relief on the fourth green at Pebble Beach because of standing water left from hosing down the greens. He was able to move his ball some 15 feet to the other side of the green. But the big trouble was the wind. Kevin Chappells approach to the par-3 fifth sailed over the cliff, and he ambled down toward the beach to play the shot. The par-5 sixth at Pebble, usually reachable with a long iron, was a true three-shot hole. On the 109-yard, downhill seventh hole into the wind, the club of choice was a chip 8-iron. It was most difficult with the putting -- being able to stand over the ball, trying to hit it as it wobbled and judging the speed. Geoff Ogilvy three-putted from 3 feet twice in a three-hole stretch on his way to an 81. Spieth had a pair of three-putts that sent him tumbling out of contention. The worst was on the ninth, when he gunned his 12-footer for par about 4 feet by the hole, sent the next one 5 feet by on the other side and raised his arms in mock triumph when he made the third one. D.A. Points might have had the best time. His score didnt count. Points was disqualified Friday for using a sponge ball as a training device while waiting on the 18th tee. He returned Saturday to contribute to the pro-am side of the competition with former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. The team shot 77 and missed the cut. "It meant an enormous amount to me," Rice said. "He didnt have to do that. It speaks really well for him and for the tour that he came out played, anyway."
