Danny Willett is relishing the opportunity to try and close the gap on Henrik Stenson at the top of the Race to Dubai standings at this week’s Nedbank Golf Challenge. The Masters champion led the European Tours order of merit for the majority of the season until a slump in form during recent weeks now leaves him over 252,000 points behind Stenson with two events remaining.Willett finished tied-68th at last weeks Turkish Airlines Open to remain second in the standings, the same position he ended last season behind Rory McIlroy, but remains hopeful of closing the gap to the Swede in South Africa. Danny Willett has struggled in his last three events since finishing runner-up at the Italian Open in September Me and Henrik have both had fantastic years, both picking up our first major and both had good showings elsewhere around the world, Willett said.Now it boils down to two events where I am back to chasing. Im going to try to make up some ground this week and hopefully try to make up ground next week or fend him off and see how everything goes.

Willett (L) lost top spot when Henrik Stenson (R) finished tied-second at the WGC-HSBC Champions Victory for Stenson would see the Open champion claim a second Race to Dubai title if Willett finishes outside the top-10, while a win for Willett would guarantee him top spot heading into next weeks season finale.McIlroy could see his hopes of a third successive Race to Dubai crown come to an end this week, with the world No 2 not featuring in South Africa and already trailing Stenson by more than a million points. Henrik Stenson looks ahead to the Nedbank Golf Challenge, where victory could also secure him the Race to Dubai title A top-seven finish for Stenson or a runner-up finish for Willett would be enough to end McIlroys chances of topping the European Tour and PGA Tour money standings in the same year.Watch the Nedbank Golf Challenge throughout the week live on Sky Sports 4 - your home of golf.

SEATTLE -- Reserve catcher Steve Clevenger was suspended for the rest of the season without pay Friday by the Seattle Mariners in the wake of his tweets regarding a recent police shooting in Charlotte, North Carolina, and the Black Lives Matter movement.As soon as we became aware of the tweets posted by Steve yesterday we began to examine all of our options in regard to his standing on the team, General manager Jerry Dipoto said in a statement.Dipoto said Clevenger was informed of the suspension on Friday. Clevenger will lose 10 days pay from his $516,500 salary in the major leagues, which comes to $28,224.The Major League Baseball Players Association, which could challenge the discipline, had no comment.Clevengers Twitter account was changed to private Thursday night. Screen shots of the tweets showed Clevenger made disparaging comments about pprotesters and President Barack Obama, saying everyone involved should be locked behind bars like animals!Clevenger released a statement to Fox Sports late Thursday night apologizing for the distraction my tweets on my personal twitter page caused when they went public earlier today.ddddddddddddI am sickened by the idea that anyone would think of me in racist terms, continued Clevengers statement. My tweets were reactionary to the events I saw on the news and were worded beyond poorly at best and I can see how and why someone could read into my tweets far more deeply than how I actually feel.Clevenger appeared in 22 games for the Mariners this season. He was placed on the disabled list with a fractured hand on June 30. ' ' '
