FARMINGDALE, N.Y. -- The FedEx Cup is all about the $10 million bonus at the end of the four playoff events.For a dozen or so Americans, the only cup that matters now is one that doesnt pay a dime.The Ryder Cup couldnt be ignored Thursday.Patrick Reed shared the lead after the opening round at the Barclays. Rickie Fowler, J.B. Holmes and Kevin Chappell were among those one shot behind. All four of them are very much in the mix to make the U.S. team, with qualifying for the top eight spots ending after this week.Of course its on my mind, Reed said after his 5-under 66 gave him a share of the lead with Martin Laird.Its easy to forget about the FedEx Cup and its big bonus because there are still 15 rounds left to reach that point. The opening day at Bethpage Black, one of the toughest on the PGA Tour schedule, was just trying to beat the wind and stay in the game.LEADERS: Reed had a good laugh at his own expense on Tuesday when he was asked to bang the gavel for the ceremonial bell closing at the New York Stock Exchange. Dressed in a blue suit with an American tie, he banged once, twice ... and on the third try, he broke the gavel.The only thing he broke Thursday was par.Reed opened with 10 pars, a strong feat considering he started on the tougher back nine, and then ran off three birdies and an eagle for a 66.Martin Laird also had a clean card, with four birdies on the front nine and a shot out of the rough to the elevated green on the 16th to 6 feet for his fifth birdie. Hes not worried about the Ryder Cup. He is No. 89 in the FedEx Cup, so the first order of business was to be among the top 100 to advance to next week.RYDER RAMIFICATIONS: Fowler looked like a shoo-in to be on the Ryder Cup team when he started the year in great form. But missing the cut in two majors and not doing much in the other two havent helped. He is No. 12 and would need at least a two-way tie for fourth this week to have any chance.Opening with a 67 was a good start.Thats the No. 1 priority coming into the year, Fowler said. Id say thats always one of the main goals coming into a Ryder Cup year. Even in the off year, youre thinking about it. That was the whole reason playing last week, trying to get more points. It would be nice to have a chance to make that team without having to get picked.J.B. Holmes was at No. 8 until Reed passed him last week. Holmes moved into position with his third-place finish at the British Open, but he has been pressing since then and has missed his last three cuts. The big hitter spent two hours with the shortest club in the bag -- his putter -- earlier this week, and it paid off.As for Chappell? Depending on however else does, he probably has to win to make the team.BETHPAGE: The Black is a big ball park, the start of a playoff series that favors the big hitters -- the TPC Boston next week, Crooked Stick in Indiana after that, and then East Lake. That also was the rotation in 2012, and it would have seemed to put the medium hitters at a disadvantage.Or maybe not. Brandt Snedeker won the FedEx Cup in 2012.EARLY EXITS: British Open champion Henrik Stenson had planned to skip one of the FedEx Cup playoff events because of a busy schedule at the end of the year, including his trip to Rio for a silver medal in golf.He made it through one round at The Barclays with a 74 and enough discomfort in his right knee that he withdrew. Stenson is at No. 14 in the FedEx Cup and likely will fall out of the top 20 at the end of the week.Brett Stegmaier also withdrew with a wrist injury through nine holes. He was at No. 101, and with the top 100 advancing, his season is over.THE CUT: Making it to the weekend at The Barclays is one of the most important cuts of the year, particularly because of the playoff format. Anyone beyond the top 100 has no chance of extending the season. Anyone just inside the top 100 probably wont stay there if they miss the cut.Scott Brown was a good example. He is at No. 81 and opened with a 10-over 81. He was projected to fall to No. 100. That could change. A year ago, the highest-ranked player to get eliminated was Padraig Harrington at No. 87. Inter Milan Keita Balde Jersey . Only three players drafted by NHL clubs were included on the Czech selection camp roster on Wednesday. Those players were Dallas Stars 2012 first-rounder Radek Faksa, Winnipeg Jets 2013 fourth-rounder Jan Kostalek and Phoenix Coyotes 2012 seventh-rounder Marek Langhamer. Inter Milan Tommaso Berni Jersey . LOUIS -- The New Orleans Saints looked like a team playing out the string. http://www.cheapintermilanjersey.com/?tag=inter-milan-dalbert-jersey . LOUIS -- Valtteri Filppula assisted on three of Tampa Bays four goals, and the Lightning beat the St. Inter Milan Andrea Pinamonti Jersey . Gather a group of friends, or find a league to join online, draft your team, set your lineup and compete in a number of different formats. Inter Milan Miranda Jersey . Michell Burger, a woman who lives on an estate next to Pistorius gated community, said she and her husband were awoken by the screams in the pre-dawn hours of Feb. 14 last year, when Pistorius killed Reeva Steenkamp by shooting four times through a door in his bathroom.TORONTO -- Eugenie Bouchard couldnt hide her frustration Wednesday night at the Rogers Cup. The rising Canadian womens tennis star first tossed a racket on top of her bag after blowing a double-break point opportunity during the final set of a second-round loss to Petra Kvitova. The racket was on the move again moments later as Bouchard threw it to the ground after double-faulting to give the defending champion a service break. The racket bounced up and almost struck her in the face. The sixth-seeded Czech went on to close out the 6-3, 6-2 win in 86 minutes at Rexall Centre. "I felt like I wasnt playing my best, especially serving-wise," Bouchard said. "I usually rely on my serve to dominate the point and control. I wasnt doing that as well today so I was definitely a little bit frustrated." While composed for the rest of the match, the loss was a definite learning experience for the 19-year-old from Montreal. The 2012 Wimbledon junior champ can also build on her first turn in the Rogers Cup spotlight after playing two straight nights in the showcase match on centre court. Kvitova used her strong serve and powerful ground strokes to keep Bouchard on her heels. She seemed to have a read on Bouchards game, eating up the cut shots and drops that were working a night earlier for the young Canadian. Kvitova also seemed to have a knack for winning the key points, helped at times by Bouchards unforced errors. "I think it was a hard-fought battle and tougher than the score would indicate," Bouchard said. The wild-card entry, currently ranked 62nd in the world, is in her first full season as a pro on the WTA Tour. Bouchard has posted some impressive wins this year and is trying her best to soak up the experience each week. "I know I can hang with the top girls," she said. "You know, in the points, we hit a lot of competitive points today. Obviously she would come on top of more than I did, so its just about working on being more consistent and being able to finish the points like she does and hopefully get better that way." Earlier in the day, Jelena Jankovic knocked out the other Canadian left in the singles draw of the US$2.369-million tournament. The veteran Serb defeated Torontos Sharon Fichman 6-4, 7-6 (6). Top-seeded Serena Williams made quick work of her first opponent by defeating Italys Francesca Schiavone 6-3, 6-2. Williams, who received a first-round bye, needed 75 minutes to complete the victory. Her next opponent will be 13th-seeded Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium, whoo posted a 7-5, 3-6, 6-2 win over Kiki Bertens of the Netherlands.dddddddddddd "I felt good, I felt solid," Williams said. "I obviously made a few errors but its just my first match on hard (court) in a really long time. I also played a really good player so it was a good match." There was one minor upset in the early afternoon as 11th-seeded Russian Maria Kirilenko dropped a 7-5, 7-5 decision to Alize Cornet of France. In the late match on the grandstand court, Sorana Cirstea of Romania upset ninth-seeded Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark 5-7, 7-6 (0), 6-4. Seventh-seeded Marion Bartoli of France looked strong in her first competitive match since winning at Wimbledon last month. She defeated American qualifier Lauren Davis in straight sets. "I didnt want to put too much pressure on myself because the last two times I played in Toronto I lost first round," she said. "So I just wanted to enjoy myself on the court and try my hardest. Obviously being able to win 6-0, 6-3 was pretty good for me." Several seeded players posted comfortable straight-set victories. Fourth-seeded Li Na of China beat Russias Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 6-1, 6-4, fifth-seeded Sara Errani of Italy topped Klara Zakopalova 6-2, 7-6 (2) and 10th-seeded Roberta Vinci of Italy downed Ekaterina Makarova of Russia 6-0, 6-4. Also Wednesday, No. 16 seed Ana Ivanovic of Serbia beat Italys Flavia Pennetta 6-4, 6-4 and American Sloane Stephens, the No. 14 seed, got by Germanys Mona Barthel 6-3, 4-6, 6-3. No. 12 seed Samantha Stosur of Australia defeated Spains Carla Suarez Navarro 1-6, 6-2, 6-3 and Magdalena Rybarikova of Slovakia defeated American Varvara Lepchenko 6-4, 6-2. In first-round doubles play, Fichman and Ottawa native Gabriela Dabrowski beat Pavlyuchenkova and Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic 6-4, 6-7 (5), 10-8. There was a short rain delay in the morning due to wet weather. Warm, sunny and breezy conditions were the norm through the afternoon and into the evening.
