ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates - Martin Kaymer turned what promised to be an exciting weekend duel with Rory McIlroy into a procession at the Abu Dhabi Championship. Jim Kelly Jersey .Seeking a fourth title in eight years in Abu Dhabi, Kaymer shot a 7-under 65 in the third round on Saturday to extend his overnight lead from one stroke to six. He moved to 20-under 196 overall — a record-low total here after 54 holes.The U.S. Open champions pace was too hot for McIlroy, whose putting failed to match his tee-to-green play as he shot 71. The top-ranked McIlroy cut a forlorn figure at the end of his round, having dropped eight shots behind Kaymer and going from third place into a share of fifth.I feel like punching myself, said McIlroy, who only missed two fairways and one green in regulation all day. Im going to try to win the other tournament — he (Martin) is playing different golf than everyone else.Belgiums Thomas Pieters shot 70 to stay in second place but his chances of a first win on the European Tour were virtually dashed by another exhibition from Kaymer on a National Course for which he has a great affinity.The numbers Kaymer is putting up in the United Arab Emirates capital are mind-boggling. He is 107 under here in his last 31 rounds, hasnt dropped a shot in 43 holes and can break his record score of 24 under — set in 2011 — with a 67 or less on Sunday.Kaymers three wins in Abu Dhabi — the opening event of the year for many players — came in 2008, 10 and 11 and he also has a second and fifth place.The German birdied five of his first eight holes and somehow escaped dropping a shot for the first time since Thursday after hitting his second shot at No. 10 into a bush. He took a drop, chipped from the desert into a greenside bunker, only to find the cup from the sand for the second straight day on that hole.It brought a fist pump from Kaymer, who birdied Nos. 11 and 13 before parring his way home on a third straight day of sunny skies and just a slight breeze. He opened the tournament with rounds of 64 and 67.Im surprised the way I have played, said Kaymer, who took nearly a month off around Christmas and admitted to being rusty in practice in the 10 days before Abu Dhabi. I had a little bit of a bad conscience coming here because I didnt practice as much as I did in the past.Hopefully I can stay in the 20s, thats the first goal, he added, looking ahead to Sunday. Im not really thinking of the record. To me, it is important to win the golf tournament.McIlroy, who started two shots behind Kaymer, had been looking forward to a weekend battle with Kaymer to sharpen his focus at the start of the year in which he will look to complete a career Grand Slam at the Masters in April.But while his driving and iron play remained as strong as Fridays performance, when he shot a 66, he had a poor day on the greens after giving himself a chance at nearly every hole.I struggled to read them, McIlroy said. Struggled with pace. Struggled with everything.His only birdies came at Nos. 6 and 12, and he is 12 under alongside Frances Gary Stal (67) and South Africas Charl Schwartzel (65). Austrias Bernd Wiesberger (66) and Frances Alexander Levy (67) are tied for third on 13 under.South Koreas An Byeong-hun made a hole-in-one on No. 15 for the fourth ace of tournament, which is two off the record set at the Mediterranean Open in 1991.American star Rickie Fowler is 19 shots off contention after a 73, although he eagled the last — and got a ride on a camel at the back of the 18th. Taron Johnson Bills Jersey . Not only that, when Julian de Guzman first stepped on the pitch for Deportivo de la Coruna he became the very first Canadian to play in Spains top tier. Josh Allen Bills Jersey . Not that Durant cared. The only streak he cares about is still intact. http://www.authenticbillsfanatic.com/c-89-bills-vontae-davis-jersey.aspx . - Considering where Jeff Gordon was after Richmond, left out of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship in part due to some late-race shenanigans, he couldnt have been happier on Sunday.ST. LOUIS - Willie McGee, Jim Edmonds, Mike Shannon and the late Marty Marion were inducted into the St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Fame on Saturday. The four players represent the initial group to be selected for induction by a voting process that included input from fans and a panel of baseball experts. St. Louis opened its Hall of Fame and Museum in April, and the first 22 players to be enshrined earned automatic entry because they were in the National Baseball Hall of Fame as Cardinals or had their number retired by the club. "I was flattered. I thought it was a really special deal," Edmonds said. "When they told me I was getting a red jacket, I had to step back a little bit. I think this red jacket symbolizes much more than a plaque on the wall. We all are not in the Hall of Fame and our numbers arent retired but we get to wear the red jacket. Its humbling." All Cardinals Hall of Famers are given a bright red sports coat to wear at team functions. Now, members of the Cardinals Hall will get the same coat. Edmonds hit .285 and averaged 30 homers a year in eight years with the Cardinals. He won six consecutive Gold Gloves in centre field and played on six post-season clubs. Russell Bodine Bills Jersey. . He ranks fourth in franchise history with 241 home runs. A fan favourite, McGee spent 13 of his 18 seasons in St. Louis and was the 1985 NL MVP. The centre fielder played a big role in the Cardinals winning their ninth championship in 1982. "It means a lot," McGee said. "After all the sacrifices you made, this is a reward for the hard work and dedication and discipline. Im a testament that with hard work and listening, you can be the best you can be." Shannon is better known as a broadcaster but he was a good player, too. He helped win two World Series titles during his nine-year career with the Cardinals. He is now in his 43rd season calling Cardinals games on the radio. "This is fantastic," Shannon said. "Look at how many of the Hall of Famers showed up here for this. You know what that means to a guy like me? It means a lot. They take pride in this organization." Marion, a shortstop, played with the St. Louis Cardinals for the majority of his career. Marion was the MVP in 1944. He managed the Cardinals in 1951 and then ended his career with the St. Louis Browns as a player-manager.
