Keaton Jennings has signed a new four-year deal to remain at Durham. Jennings, who had been out of contract at the end of the season, had emerged as a target of several rival clubs with Warwickshire having held talks with him in recent days and seeing him as a potential leader of their side.But, despite their well-documented financial pressures, Durham have been able to hang on to Jennings and have now secured him on a long-term deal. He has stood-in as captain in recent days and looks a potential club captain of the near future.Despite being born in Johannesburg, Jennings emerged through the Durham academy and made his first team debut for the club in 2012. A solid, patient, top-order batsman, he is currently the top run-scorer in the top division of the County Championship and has emerged as a valuable medium-pace bowler in limited-overs cricket. Aged just 24, he has the bulk of his career ahead of him.Durham has afforded me the opportunity over the past few years to learn the trade and start to build a career and I am grateful for their support, Jennings said. As a team, we have an exciting future ahead in search of the same success that we experienced in 2013 and 2014. Its a privilege to be part of this environment and Im looking forward to adding value where possible.The singing will come as a considerable relief to Durham. Already resigned to losing Mark Stoneman to Surrey, there have been fears that the club could lose several other top players to rival clubs as money troubles inhibit their ability to pay comparable wages. But news of Jennings new contract will boost hopes they can also retain the services of Scott Borthwick and Mark Wood.The news will be a setback to Warwickshire, though. Having lost the service of Varun Chopra, who has announced he is returning to Essex at the end of the season, the club were hoping to sign a replacement top-order batsman with many years in front of him. Jennings fitted the bill perfectly.Cheap Boston Bruins Jerseys China . -- The boos poured down on Tom Brady and the New England Patriots at the end of a horrible first half.

There was yelling and screaming and cheering and booing from the time the sun came up Friday morning until Rory McIlroy holed that eagle putt on the 16th green and bowed to the crowd, his emotions at a fever pitch.Hazeltine shook with delirium at times, the ebbs and flows of the Ryder Cup producing all manner of reactions as the U.S. took a 5-3 lead after Day 1. Of course, it is the over-the-top behavior, the vocal and sometimes vulgar minority, that tends to get singled out in such instances.McIlroys reaction was undoubtedly joy spiced with venom. He noted the hostile environment out there, and one got the sense that if McIlroy could have offered up a one-finger salute, he would have done so.Danny Willett had no such ability to stick it back to the American crowd when his golf wasnt good enough to quiet the hecklers. After his brother, Pete, wrote his well-vetted piece for the National Club Golfer website earlier this week in which he described U.S. golf fans as a baying mob of imbeciles and pudgy basement-dwelling irritants, among other things, he was bound to hear at least a smattering of derisive taunts.Whether it crossed the line or not is probably a matter of location and perception, but a good number of the gallerys finest stooped down to the level that Pete Willett had described, his supposedly tongue-in-cheek offering playing out in real life.Even after Danny Willetts round -- a 5 and 4 defeat with Martin Kaymer to Americans Brandt Snedeker and Brooks Koepka -- when he retreated to the driving range, with only American J.B. Holmes also hitting balls, there was an inebriated spectator yelling at him from the grandstands, taunting him with the various unoriginal barbs that made all those around uncomfortable.Nobody was doing anything when he was hitting shots, but there was plenty of abuse out there, Pete Cowen, Willetts swing coach, told ESPN.com. He played OK, but its a shame as this has spoiled his week through no fault of his own.Everyone lets it deflect from the actual tournament; its pathetic really, isnt it? He was looking forward to a great week, and then all of a sudden, it gets spoiled by everybody elses reaction to it. Its always tough in the Ryder Cup, and anything like that makes it even more difficult. He was really looking forward to this and all of a sudden he cant look forward to it because of all the stuff that surrounds it.Pete Willetts description of U.S. golf fans might, indeed, have been over the top and offensive.dddddddddddd So that makes it OK to act just the way he described? It was just the day before, during the opening ceremony, when legends Jack Nicklaus and Tony Jacklin called for decorum and good sportsmanship. They invoked the memory of Arnold Palmer, who undoubtedly would have been appalled by such behavior.While the vibe is ratcheted up considerably at a Ryder Cup, it is not a football game, neither the American nor international variety. Some level of civility is expected, and given the proximity of spectators to golfers, it is tolerated even less.It is telling when U.S. captain Davis Love III was scanning the crowd to point out the offenders, or when Jordan Spieth did the same. They appreciate the support but not when it gets nasty.These same sorts of incidents occur at Ryder Cups in Europe, although it seems there is just a tad bit more decorum on the other side of the pond. Sure, the fans cheer wildly for their team and players. They make a considerable amount of noise and revel in throwing a few jabs at the visiting Americans. But they cheer the good shots, and keep the personal attacks to a minimum.Most of the people out there are respectful and are just cheering really hard for the U.S. team, said McIlroy, who is from Northern Ireland but now lives in Florida. Thats totally acceptable and thats exactly what happens in Europe. But still, its a hostile environment that the people out there dont want you to hole a putt. They dont want you to hit a good shot.I think when you do hole a putt or hit a good shot, it just makes it that much more satisfying. Im obviously not fazed by anything said by the crowd.Its remarkable to think that anyone would give McIlroy grief. One of his four major title wins was at the U.S. Open. He has been a great ambassador for the game, having won tournaments all around the world.And if you watched his golf in the afternoon session Friday, it was something to behold, four birdies and a match-clinching eagle. Great stuff, even if you were rooting for the other side.To his credit, Willett tried to downplay the grief he took. The Masters champion had lauded the way American spectators embraced him during and following his victory at Augusta National, and he also knows he did nothing to incite such behavior.There were a few little shouts in there, and bits and bobs, but hopefully they are all following me around so the rest of the lads can do their business, he said.Now thats taking one for the team, a team that you know is using all the ugliness as motivation.
