We look back at the remarkable life of Barclay Howard, an amateur golfer who won the silver medal at The Open at Royal Troon 19 years ago. In finishing as the top amateur in 1997, Howard him became the oldest player to achieve the feat in half a century and it was made all the more special as it came towards the end of an incredible journey.Howards talent had never been in doubt and as a 15-year-old he won the county boys championship by 14 strokes and picked up almost 100 amateur titles playing out of Cochrane Castle Golf Club - just half an hours drive from Troon. He worked in a factory on a production line, said childhood friend and Sky Sports presenter David Livingstone. He was like one of these comic book heroes who did his job and then went to play with the rich boys on the weekend and competed against them. I think people saw him as one of them.However, struggles with an alcohol problem saw Howard banned from every pub in town and thrown out of Cochrane Castle for bad behaviour.After quitting drinking at the age of 38, Howard gave golf his full attention and the results were outstanding as he twice made the Walker Cup team and also enjoyed a magnificent week at Royal Troon in The Open.Not long after the Walker Cup in 1997, Howard was diagnosed with leukaemia and eventually died of pneumonia in 2008. He is though still revered at Cochrane Castle and remembered fondly at Royal Troon. Also See: Sign in to watch Leaderboard The eagles have landed Donaldson in the thick of it Blank Arsenal Jersey .

Now comes an off-season of questions about manager Matt Williams decisions and a handful of key roster choices, including what to do about Ryan Zimmerman, whether to sign Jordan Zimmermann and Ian Desmond to long-term deals, and how to upgrade an offence that fell flat in October.With lots of trade speculation surrounding the Canadiens and Andrei Markov going into next Wednesdays trade deadline, the veteran defencemans new agent maintains that contract talks between both sides are ongoing and that Markov wants to stay in Montreal. "I cant say much, we agreed not to say much, but talks are ongoing and Andrei wants to stay in Montreal," agent and former NHL player Sergei Berezin told TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun on ESPN.com on Friday. "Well see where it goes. Hes played 13 seasons with Montreal. He wants to finish his career in Montreal." Earlier this week, TSN Radio 690s Tony Marinaro reported that the Canadiens offered Markov - an unresticted free agent in July - a one-year $6 million contract while TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie added that the team might be flexibble on a one or two-year deal.dddddddddddd Markov, in the final season of the three-year, $17.25 million deal he signed in 2011, recently hired Berezin after parting ways with agent Don Meehan of Newport Sports. Berezin has temporary certification from the NHL Players Association as an agent while the union reviews his application as to whether he can become a full-time agent. "Weve been long friends for 15 years if not longer, we grew up in the same city in Russia," Berezin said. "Hes like family to me, I train him in the summer." Markov has five goals and 33 points in 61 games with the Canadiens this season is a plus-9. In 745 career NHL games, Markov has 96 goals and 432 points. Hes spent his entire NHL career in Montreal after being drafted 162nd overall by the Canadiens in 1998. China Jerseys ' ' '
