SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. - Francesco Molinari of Italy had to return Saturday morning to finish his second round at the Phoenix Open, and he couldnt believe the number of people who filed into the grandstands at the par-3 16th hole just as the sun was rising over the TPC Scottsdale.A few hours later, Molinari made it worth their while.He made a hole-in-one on the largest, loudest area in golf for a par 3 and got a reaction unlike any other in golf.Something you dont see in golf every day, Molinari said after his 7-under 64.Maybe he was talking about more than 15,000 fans crammed onto one hole, packed into bleachers and sky boxes. More likely he was talking about how dozens of fans began heaving plastic beer bottles around the 16th green out of sheer euphoria of seeing such a big moment.It was his third hole-in-one, this one unlike the others. He once made one in Malaysia while returning the next morning from a rain delay, and its safe to say there was in neighbourhood of 15,000 fewer fans that day than in Phoenix.And it was the first time he had seen so many beer containers rain down from the stands.First and last, hopefully, he said with a smile. Brian Davis had to play after me, unfortunately. So he had to wait to let the guys clear the green and the bunkers. I dont know how to describe it. You have to see it. And it was obviously amazing for me to be there and have a hole-in-one in that scenario.Even more bizarre, was what happened to his golf ball. Molinari, caught up in the moment, heaved it into the grandstands. Surprisingly, someone threw it back.They nearly hit Brian Davis again, Molinari said. A volunteer just raked it out of the bunker and gave it to me at the end of the round. It was nice to get it back. I dont know if I will keep it or give it to someone. I wasnt expecting to see it come back from the stands.In his first trip to the Phoenix Open, Molinari doesnt know its like to get booed for missing the green. He made two-putt pars the first two days, and on Saturday, he didnt have to putt at all.Theres still Sunday.I guess tomorrow I will hit it to 2 feet and I will be booed, he said.___RAHM-BO: Even more amazing than Arizona State junior Jon Rahm being in the hunt at the Phoenix Open is doing it while being under the weather.He has been dealing with a stomach virus the last few days, and it didnt help to wake up at 5:30 a.m. to finish his first round on Friday.It was hurting all the time, Rahm said. I felt like I was going to vomit all the time. And when I got here, I got a headache, my body started feeling bad, and I finished those two holes. Then I went to the doctor. They gave me something for my stomach to calm me down and something for the headache. I played through the round.Adrenaline took over from there, so he feels fine on the golf course. Its when he finishes that he starts to ache.Im just trying to drink a lot of liquids and get the virus out of me, he said.___WELCOME BACK, ZACH: Zach Johnson isnt sure why he had not played the Phoenix Open in five years, but he has no regrets.Johnson shot a 67 on Saturday and was tied for second, three shots behind Martin Laird.Its one of those situations I didnt know if it would be good for me, he said of the TPC Scottsdale. I think its a good golf course for me. Obviously, three days in its pretty clear that its not a bad course for me.___SUPER TEE TIME: Keegan Bradley, so uptight about his beloved New England Patriots that he wears receivers gloves when he watches on TV, already has his tickets for the Super Bowl in nearby Glendale between the Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks.And now he wont have to worry about rushing to get there.Bradley shot an even-par 71 on Saturday and was at 4-under 209. That puts him in the middle of the pack, and with the final round going off both tees, it was an ideal position for a guy who wants to watch some football on Sunday.He is in the second group off at 9:15 a.m. The game starts at 4:30 p.m. local time.___DIVOTS: Kevin Chappell, who lives in Scottsdale during the winter, had reason to think it might be a short week when he opened with a 75. Chappell bounced back with a pair of 65s and goes into the final round just five shots out of the lead. ... Justin Thomas has played all 15 rounds in 2015 at par or better. ... Rahm is the fifth Arizona State player to compete at the Phoenix Open while still on the golf team. The best finish of the other four was Phil Mickelson, who tied for 32nd in 1991.

After nearly 22 1/2 years that began with unprecedented labour unrest, unfolded with rapid innovation and ended with unparalleled prosperity, he predicted a future filled with more transformation, perhaps with expansion to other countries.My dream is for this sport to really have an international flavour, he said Saturday during a half-hour interview with The Associated Press. Does it need teams in other countries? ... If one uses a lot of vision it could.Selig headed the group that forced Commissioner Fay Vincents resignation in September 1992. Owner of the Milwaukee Brewers since 1970, he was put in charge as chairman of the executive council and finally elected commissioner in July 1998 after years of saying he would never take the job.His reign saw expanded playoffs and wild-card teams, interleague play, video review to aid umpires, expansion to Arizona and Tampa Bay, the formation of baseballs Internet and broadcast companies and the start of drug testing — too late for some critics. The only person who headed baseball longer was Kenesaw Mountain Landis, the first commissioner from 1920-44.Bud will go down in history as the No. 1 commissioner that has served baseball, and without question, said Peter Ueberroth, baseballs commissioner from 1984-89. For Ueberroth, Seligs time heading baseball can be compared only with what Pete Rozelle has done in football and David Stern has done in basketball.Seligs final task was to accept a long and meritorious service award from the New York chapter of the Baseball Writers Association of America at a black-tie dinner Saturday night. Now 80, Selig becomes commissioner emeritus Sunday when Rob Manfred, his top deputy, takes over as the 10th commissioner.Its been quite a journey, and the journey I think has changed me in a lot of ways, Selig said. I wish I knew in 1992 what I knew today.Revenue has risen from about $1.7 billion in 92 to just under $9 billion last year. Attendance, which averaged 26,978 in 1992, has been above 30,000 in 10 straight seasons, peaking at 32,785 in 2007 before the Great Recession.With the start of revenue sharing and a luxury tax that has slowed spending by large-market teams, every club except Toronto has made playoffs this century.Selig emphasized consensus over confrontation.All these 30-0 votes that everybody is now talking about were important to me because I learned over the years that unity was so important, he said. We had no unity in the 70s and the 80s and early 90s. It was very fractured, and that was destructive.And that infighting led to stasis.The sport had been not active, really had spent two decades stuck in neutral, he said. It was harmful because other forms of entertainment and sports were gaining in great popularity.To maany, he seemed like a rumpled uncle or grandfather.dddddddddddd But owners listened to him because he was one of their own.I had a style that was I guess unique, to say the least, Selig acknowledged. I was always very cautious, always very thorough but maybe even became more so over the years. But it worked out well, because I understand my political constituency. A lot of people would be critical. They would say, well, after all, Why does it take him so long to do that?He calls cancelling the 1994 World Series his worst moment. Players struck for 232 days, fearful owners would implement a salary cap. Since then, the sport has had labour peace, and Manfred has two seasons before the current labour deal expires.The foundations of the stability that have been present in baseball and not in the other three sports since then come from the agreements that were made then, said Donald Fehr, then head of the baseball players union and now head of the NHL players.Seligs best nights were when Cal Ripken Jr. broke Lou Gehrigs consecutive games streak in 1995 and when players and owners agreed to a labour deal in 2002, ending a streak of eight work stoppages dating to 1972.He lists Ripken, Derek Jeter and Edgar Martinez as his favourite players to dine with, although he quickly adds and others in fear of leaving someone out. He wont compare players of this era with the stars of his youth, because the game has changed so much, but his voice softened with nostalgia when he said: Henry Aaron, Joe DiMaggio, Ted Williams, Stan Musial — they dont get any better than those guys.Selig leaves Manfred with several unsolved issues.While 20 new ballparks opened during Seligs tenure, Tampa Bay and Oakland want new ones, and the Athletics want to build in San Jose, which is on the territory of the San Francisco Giants. Baltimore and Washington are in court over their regional sports network. There is the need to attract young fans and cut down on long game times. Selig never ruled on Pete Roses 1997 application to end his lifetime ban.I wish thats all I had in 1992, Selig said.Even though Selig helped force him out, Vincent concludes Selig has done an exemplary job.He is a masterful internal baseball politician and he was able to keep the owners from fragmenting, from looking for a salary cap, which some of the new guys used to scream about, Vincent said.Selig already has started teaching at the University of Wisconsin and Marquettes law school. Hes getting help from Doris Kearns Goodwin to organize preparations for his memoir — he doesnt plan to sit in front of a computer parsing prose.Ill be talking into something, a little microphone of some kind, he said.He plans on going to Wimbledon with wife Sue. And, as usual, hell be on the telephone with baseball buddies.Ive had a lot of calls today, he said, and they all said, Well, Ill talk to you tomorrow or on Monday. ' ' '
