SPRINGFIELD, N.J. -- A hole-by-hole look at the Lower Course at Baltusrol Golf Club, site of the 98th PGA Championship to be played July 28-31:No. 1, 478 yards, par 4: A tough test from the start on a par 5 for members that has been converted to a par 4. Shunpike Road runs along the left side and is out-of-bounds, while bunkers and a brook to the right make the landing area feel even tighter. A slight rise in the fairway hides the bottom of the pin on the approach. The green is relatively small, with bunkers on both sides.No. 2, 378 yards, par 4: The shortest par 4 on the course with cross bunkers some 240 yards from the tee, pine trees to the left and a large bunker on the right. Most players will hit iron off the tee. The green is surrounded by bunkers and slopes from right to left. Anything above the hole could lead to a three-putt.No. 3, 503 yards, par 4: A long dogleg left that plays slightly downhill and is framed by trees on both sides. A creek guards the entrance to the green, and a ridge runs through the middle of the green from front to back, creating sharp breaks on either side.No. 4, 195 yards, par 3: Tee shot must carry water to the green, with a stone wall separating water from land. Three large bunkers are behind the green. The green has two levels, allowing for a variety of hole locations.No. 5, 424 yards, par 4: The hole plays uphill, making it longer than the yardage indicates. The fairway is pinched by bunkers, and the uphill approach is difficult because of an elevated green that slopes from right to left and from the back. Green protected by three large bunkers to the right.No. 6, 482 yards, par 4: The tee shot is partially blind to a fairway that slopes sharply down both sides and is difficult to hold with anything but an accurate drive. The approach shot requires a mid-iron to a large green that is open in the front and protected by bunkers on either side.No. 7, 505 yards, par 4: Another converted par 4, it bends to the right with an out-of-bounds fence and a thicket of trees and bunker down the right side. The drive must be long and accurate to get beyond trees down the right side that are in play from the tee. A large, mounded bunker about 50 yards short of the green makes for a partially blind approach.No. 8, 374 yards, par 4: Trees line both sides of the fairway on what likely will be an iron off the tee. The approach shot must carry a large bunker short of the green, with more sand all the way around and behind the green.No. 9, 211 yards, par 3: Described as the most British hole on the Lower Course. It features a long green with a narrow opening between two bunkers and a crescent-shaped bunker that circles around the rear.No. 10, 464 yards, par 4: The fairway narrows to a bottleneck at about 280 yards, with trees and thick rough on both sides of the fairway, and a bunker to the right. The green is protected by two long bunkers on either side, and a smaller bunker in the rear.No. 11, 444 yards, par 4: A draw off the tee is preferred on this dogleg to the left to get around two large sassafras trees. That leaves a good view of the large, undulating green. A tee shot that is too straight or to the right will leave the base of the pin hidden by a rise in the fairway, and leave a longer approach.No. 12, 220 yards, par 4: A large bunker to the front and a high mound to the right guard this large, sunken green, making it difficult to gauge the distance. The base of the pin also is hidden. The rear of the green has been expanded since 2005, and a collection area is behind the green.No. 13, 462 yards, par 4: A diagonal creek helps frame this dogleg to the right. The approach is to a two-tiered green with bunkers and mounds on both sides. It was this hole where Bobby Jones hit into the creek, costing him a chance to win the 1926 U.S. Amateur. It is said to have made such an impression that he used this as the model for his 13th hole at Augusta National.No. 14, 430 yards, par 4: The most direct route is over the elbow formed by a fairway bunker on the left. That will leave a short iron and a clear view of the green, although players must be careful of the trees that stretch down the entire left side. A safe drive to the right of the bunker will leave a longer, partially blind shot to the green.No. 15, 430 yards, par 4: Bunkers on the left and right require an accurate tee shot. Two huge diagonal bunkers guard the approach to the green at the top of a rise, with three smaller bunkers flanking the right. The fast, undulating green with a front pitch is one of the toughest on the Lower Course.No. 16, 230 yards, par 3: An elevated tee takes some of the distance away, but its still a long iron from the back tee to an undulating green surrounded by bunkers. The green has subtle rolls that are difficult to judge.No. 17, 650 yards, par 5: The first par 5 on the course, and some consider it one of the best in the country. A long, accurate drive and a good second shot are required to cross the bunkers at about 400 yards. If the ball stays in the short grass, the uphill approach to a well-bunkered green is only a wedge. Some big hitters might get home in two. John Daly at the `93 U.S. Open became the first player to reach this green in two shots.No. 18, 553 yards, par 5: Only the best tee shots can allow a player to reach the green in two. A safe second shot leaves a short pitch to a tabled green, although water, thick rough and large trees pose hazards along the fairway. Jack Nicklaus clinched his second U.S. Open title in 1967 with a 1-iron into the green. Phil Mickelson tapped the Nicklaus plaque before his 3-wood just right of the green that set up a birdie for his 2005 PGA victory.

SUNRISE, Fla. -- Heres an example of how far Florida has come: At a game late last season, the Panthers were penalized twice because their home fans were overly exuberant.That wasnt possible a couple years ago.The Panthers were one of the NHLs surprises last year, winning the Atlantic Division -- only two years after finishing a staggering 51 points back in the division race -- and putting together the best regular season in franchise history. Now they have the look of a full-fledged contender, with expectations higher than theyve been in two decades.We achieved a lot of goals, Panthers forward Reilly Smith said. Making the playoffs was a big goal for us. Finishing first in our division was another big goal. Theres still that big one at the end of the tunnel that we didnt come close enough to, but wed like to get back there and we definitely have enough skill in our dressing room to get us back to that point.The Panthers expect to have a lot of that skill in Florida colors for years to come.Florida has no fewer than 10 players under contract for at least the next four seasons, including its young core -- Aleksander Barkov, Aaron Ekblad, Jonathan Huberdeau, Nick Bjugstad, Vincent Trocheck and Smith. The Panthers also added defenseman Keith Yandle in the offseason, part of some big changes on the blue line, and got goaltender Roberto Luongo a very strong backup in James Reimer.And of course, the Panthers still have Jaromir Jagr.He led the team in scoring last season, at the age of 44. He enters this season 20 points away from passing Mark Messier for No. 2 on the NHLs all-time list -- behind only Wayne Gretzky, who is still about 1,000 points ahead of anyone else.Jagr thinks it was a very positive sign for the Panthers to keep their core intact, and thinks the chemistry in Floridas dressing room is a big reason why success should be expected this season.Its not about three forwards and two defense, Jagr said. Its about five guys just working together. Forwards have to playy defense, defense has to play forward.dddddddddddd. Thats just the style of hockey now. Everyone has to know how to play everything. Defense has to help the forwards and the other way around.Heres some things to know about the Panthers going into this season:STREAKY CATSThe Panthers were streaky last season, both good and bad. Florida had a 12-game winning streak, two five-game win streaks and one other stretch of four wins in a row. There also were losing streaks of four and five games. The roller-coaster ride worked out, though the Panthers believe theres too much talent for a reprise of any long droughts this season.CATS ARE COMINGThere were two games in November last year when Florida failed to draw even 11,000 people into its building, a common problem over the last couple decades. But as the playoffs neared, the Panthers were a big ticket -- their last eight regular-season games all drew more than 15,000, with four of those getting crowds of over 18,000. And the game against New Jersey on March 31 was the one where Florida fans got their team penalized twice by throwing toy rats onto the ice in the third period.PLAYOFF STINGTrocheck got tripped with 68 seconds left in Game 6 of Floridas first-round series with the New York Islanders, on a play where he had an empty net and a golden chance of wrapping up a trip to a Game 7 at home. Instead, the Islanders tied the game seconds later, then prevailed in double overtime to end Floridas season. Still hurts, Smith said.SPECIAL TEAMSAn area where Florida can improve this season is special teams. Floridas power play ranked 23rd in the 30-team NHL last season, and its penalty kill unit was 24th.ODDS WATCHThree years ago, sportsbooks in Las Vegas listed the Panthers as a 150-1 shot to win the Stanley Cup -- by far the longest in the league at that time. Entering this season, theyre listed at 20-1. ' ' '
