SPRINGFIELD, N.J. -- In a major championship season of endless theater, the PGA Championship lived up to its end of the bargain Friday.Robert Streb led the way, even if hardly anyone noticed.As thousands of fans crammed into the closing holes at Baltusrol to see whether?Jason Day could finish off his amazing run and Phil Mickelson could make it to the weekend, Streb hit a 6-iron into 20 feet on his final hole at the par-3 ninth for a shot at 63.He made the birdie putt during a TV commercial break, making him the 28th player to shoot 63 in a major and the third in the past 16 days.It was pretty noisy for the 15 people that were out there, Streb said.No matter where anyone was at Baltusrol, there was no shortage of entertainment.Mickelson hit his opening tee shot off the property and onto a side street and made triple-bogey, only to rally to make the cut. Rickie Fowler finished birdie-eagle to get back into the picture. Rory McIlroy only needed to birdie the par-5 18th, the easiest hole on the course, to make the cut. From the fairway, he made bogey, and he headed home to figure out what was wrong with his putting.A second round that began in rain with one group given the wrong hole location on No. 10 ended with Streb and Jimmy Walker sharing the lead and becoming the eighth and ninth players to match the 36-hole record in the PGA Championship at 131.Walker had to settle for a 4-under 66, right when he had the 36-hole record for all majors (130) within his reach with two par 5s remaining. But he hit into the hospitality area well left of the 17th and scrambled for par, and then his tee shot narrowly missed its mark and found the water on the 18th, leading to bogey.Even so, he was tied for the lead at the halfway point of a major.Its going to be a new experience, and it will be fun, Walker said. You still have to go perform. Doesnt matter what tournament it is.Day dropped to even par with a double-bogey on No. 7, and that appeared to wake up the worlds No. 1 player. Day went on a tear with seven birdies over his next eight holes, two of them from 18 feet and one of them from 35 feet. Suddenly, he was on the verge of a shot at 63 until he hooked his tee shot to the base of the hospitality area on the 17th and then pushed a driving iron into the right rough on the 18th. He settled for pars at both for a 65.Day was right where he wanted to be: three shots behind going into the weekend, his name high on the leaderboard for everyone to see. At stake is a chance to join Tiger Woods as the only back-to-back PGA champions since the stroke-play era began in 1958.Day was joined at 7-under 133 by Emiliano Grillo, the talented young Argentine who worked hard on his putting at Baltusrol and watched it pay off. Grillo made five birdies in a seven-hole stretch on the back nine until he cooled on the front and had to settle for a 67.This is new territory for him.Just like Walker and Streb, Grillo has never contended in a major.Ive never been in this situation, and Im not afraid of it, Grillo said. Im going to go out and enjoy it.By the end of the day, it was easy to overlook a familiar figure:?Henrik Stenson. The Open Championship winner made eagle on the 18th at the turn and polished off another 67. He was only four shots behind in his bid to match Ben Hogan as the only players to win two straight majors at age 40.Mickelson made the cut, and that might have been the most entertaining of all.He began his round with a tee shot so far left that it sailed off the property, bounced along Shunpike Road and caromed to the left down Baltusrol Way. Wherever it finished, it was out of bounds, and Mickelson had to scramble for a triple-bogey. He spent the rest of the day battling to get back, and he delivered on the 18th with a birdie to post a 70.I think in the history of the PGA Championship, thats the worst start of any players round. Id have to look it up, Mickelson said.No need to. Someone pointed out that Nicolas Colsaerts piped two over the fence and made 8.Im having a difficult time right now managing my expectations, because I know how well Im playing and Im so result-oriented that Im not playing very relaxed, free golf like I did at the British, like I did in the preparation here, Mickelson said.Two weeks ago at Royal Troon, where Mickelson opened with a 63 and Stenson closed with a 63, it was just those two players in a duel that ranked among the greatest.At Baltusrol, a dozen players were separated by five shots going into the weekend, a group that included Martin Kaymer (69). Jordan Spieth was finally back in the mix, at least on the fringes, after a hot start that led to a 67. He was in the group, six shots behind.The biggest surprise was Streb, who became the fourth player with a 63 at Baltusrol. Jack Nicklaus and Tom Weiskopf each had a 63 in the opening round of the 1980 U.S. Open, and Thomas Bjorn shot 63 in the third round in the 2005 PGA Championship.Streb hasnt had a top-10 finish on the PGA Tour since he tied for 10th in the PGA Championship last year. He birdied the last four holes a week ago in the Canadian Open just to make the cut and grabbed a sliver of history at Baltusrol. Adidas Superstar Best Price .

It just didnt show when he hit the ice. Berra made 42 saves and Kris Russell scored at 1:32 of overtime, lifting the Calgary Flames to a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday night. SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- First-year Syracuse coach Dino Babers got the signature win he was looking for.The biggest thing about this win is that any time you take over a program you trying to get everybody to buy in, youre trying to get everybody to work as one, Babers said after the Orange beat No. 17 Virginia Tech 31-17 on Saturday for their first victory over a ranked opponent since 2012.No matter how hard everybody wants to do that, theres always the naysayers, theres always the ones who say, `Maybe we should be doing it the way the old people, the old team did or the old coaches did it. Its always that way until you get that one win that solidifies you, that brings you together, that hardship that brings the family closer together. Thats what happened today. Were now family.The Orange offense rolled up 561 yards on the nations third-ranked defense, converted four of five fourth-down opportunities, and one that didnt fold when the Hokies came back to tie it.A lot of it comes down to looking at the structure of defenses, were looking at situations. Were not reckless, Babers said. We dont just go out on fourth down and say were gambling. Thats not what we do.Uncharacteristically, Syracuse scored 14 straight points after the Hokies rallied. Under similar scenarios this season, the bottom would have fallen out. Not this timeWe went back to the things that worked, Babers said. We knew they were going to be pressing, were just playing. We wanted to get into the fourth quarter where we had a chance to win the game.The key was quarterback Eric Dungey, who accounted for 417 yards and two touchdowns as Syracuse (3-4, 1-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) beat No. 17 Virginia Tech (4-2, 2-1 ACC) 31-17 on Saturday for its first victory over a ranked opponent since 2012.Dungey was 28 of 53 for 311 yards and ran for a career-high 106 yards. Knocked out of the game for one play, Dungey became the Orange player to throw for 300 yards and run for 100 yards in a single game.He scored on a 1-yard sneak to give the Orange a 24-17 lead with 7:56 to go, and hit Erv Phillips on a 58-yard scoring play in the first quarter.Coach (Sean) Lewis and Coach Babers did a good job all week. They helped to put us in situations to put some points up, Dungey said.The Orange also featured a defense that played its most inspired game of the year, holding the Hokies to its lowest output of the season. Coming into Saturdays game off a 34-3 win over North Carolina, Virginia Tech had averagedd 39.dddddddddddd.4 points per game, third in the ACC and 25th nationally.For the defense, all week coach has been saying, `Why not us? This week he kept drilling in us, `Why cant we be great? I felt the guys really took that to heart and we came out feeling like we had nothing to lose, said defensive lineman Dejon Wilson, who recovered a fumble by Hokies quarterback Jerod Evans.As big a win as it was for the Orange, the game was a huge disappointment to the Hokies, whose head coach blamed himself for the upset.I mean they beat us in all three phases of the game, Justin Fuente said. That falls on me.And now the Hokies have to turn around and play Miami in just five days.With this outcome, the challenges of playing in a short week, youve got to be ready, Fuente said.Syracuse was more than ready Saturday.Before the game we felt like we needed to come out with a chip on our shoulder, said running back Dontae Strickland, who connected with Brisly Estime for an 84-yard touchdown. Even though we were the underdogs, we did that from the jump and you saw what happened.The Hokies tied it at 17 with 13:53 to go in regulation on Evans 10-yard pass to Bucky Hodges and a 2-point conversion catch by Chris Cunningham, but Dungey took over after that.SITTING OUT: Syracuse starting defensive end Kendall Coleman sat out the first half as the result of a targeting penalty against Wake Forest a week ago. Coleman, a true freshman who had started every game, was penalized for targeting quarterback John Wolford in the fourth quarter of a 28-9 loss.POLL IMPLICATIONS: Virginia Tech will plummet after the upset loss, possibly out of the Top 25 .THE TAKEAWAY:Virginia Tech: The Hokies had only allowed 661 yards through the air in their first five games. Syracuse had 405. Virginia Tech had only allowed 20 points combined in its previous three games. The Hokies averaged 39.4 points entering the game.Syracuse: Three Syracuse players completed passes in the first half: Dungey, Strickland and Estime.Dungey was not sacked in the first half but was knocked out of the game for one play on a hit by free safety Mook Reynolds. Zack Mahoney replaced him. Philips had 11 receptions, Estime eight, Steven Ishmael six and Etta-Tawo five.UP NEXT:Virginia Tech: The Hokies host Miami on Thursday night.Syracuse: The Orange travel to Boston College next Saturday.
