RENO, Nev. Youth Vikings Jerseys . -- Nick Watney increased his lead to three points Friday in the Barracuda Championship, scoring eight points in the modified Stableford event at Montreux to push his two-day total to 26. Players receive eight points for double eagle, five for eagle, two for birdie, zero for par, minus-one for bogey and minus-three for double bogey or worse. Watney had five birdies and two bogeys in the morning session after making nine birdies in his bogey-free first round. "The course was great and I played pretty well," Watney said. "I would have liked to have made a few more putts, but overall, if you would have told me 26 points after two days I would take it every time." Geoff Ogilvy was second. Wes Roach was third at 22, and Tommy Gainey and Tim Wilkinson had 21. Ogilvy had a seven-point round, Roach and Gainey each scored 10 points, and Wilkinson had five. Watney is making his first appearance in the event since 2008 after failing to qualify for the World Golf Championship-Bridgestone Invitational. Hes 124th in the FedEx Cup standings, with the top 125 getting into The Barclays -- the playoff opener that he won in 2012 for the last of his five PGA Tour titles. "I got to keep going," Watney said. "Weve got a long way to go and just try to keep my head down and stay focused on where Im at." He was asked what he learned after two rounds. "That Im playing well and that this is a really hard course to walk," Watney said. Ogilvy, the Australian who won the 2006 U.S. Open, earned five points with an eagle on the par-5 13th, gave back a point with a bogey on No. 14 and birdied No. 16 in the afternoon. On Thursday, he had eight birdies in a bogey-free round. "It was tricky," Ogilvy said. "The elevation makes it hard anyway, or awkward, and you add in that wind that goes from nothing to 20 miles an hour and back, gusting and spinning around down different directions, it feels like. Its really awkward out there." Making his first appearance in the event since 2002, Ogilvy won the last of his seven PGA Tour titles in 2010. He has only two top-25 finishes this season and is 151st in the FedEx Cup standings. "Im hitting the ball well," Ogilvy said. "Obviously, if I hole a few putts, hopefully, Ill be there at the end."

Patton told The Baltimore Sun that he took an Adderall pill four days before the season finished, trying to improve his short-term focus. "I took one because I was stupid," Patton told The Sun. "It was the end of the season. It was just a stupid mistake." "I dont have trouble focusing all the time, it just enhances focus in certain situations, and I was just tired, basically. I dont want to list that as an excuse. I know I took a banned substance. It was just a poor lapse in judgment," he said. The 28-year-old left-hander, a veteran of five major league seasons, was 2-0 with a 3.70 ERA this year in 56 relief appearances. Under the drug agreement between MLB and its players union, 25 games is the penalty for a second positive amphetamine test. A first positivee results only in six unannounced follow-up tests over the next year. Colby Gossett Stitched Jersey. Patton said he also tested positive for Adderall during spring training in 2010. Patton became the 15th player suspended this year under the big league drug program following 14 penalized as a result on MLBs Biogenesis investigation. Orioles executive vice-president of baseball operations Dan Duquette said the team was "disappointed to learn of Troy Pattons suspension." MLB permits an exemption for players with attention deficit disorder, but Patton told The Sun hed never been diagnosed with the condition. He said he tried to apply an exemption in 2012 but was turned down after doctors examined him. The annual report from the drug programs independent administrator, Dr. Jeffrey M. Anderson, said 119 therapeutic use exemptions were granted for ADHD drugs in the year ending with the conclusion of the World Series. There were seven positive tests for Adderall in that span.
