Chris Amon, the man widely considered to be the best never to have won a Formula One race, has died aged 73 in New Zealand after a long battle with cancer.Amon competed in F1 between 1963 and 1976, which included a three-year spell at Ferrari. His career began slowly with races for Reg Parnell Racing but his performances improved enough to catch the attention of Enzo Ferrari in 1967, prompting an invitation to join his team that year.Despite a run of podiums and pole positions in his time at Ferrari, reliability issues and bad luck continued to dog his career and prevented him claiming the win his peers felt he deserved. He quit Ferrari mid-way through the 1969 season after his most frustrating campaign, joining March Engineering the following year.Spells at Matra and Tyrrell followed, before a failed attempt at running his own team, Chris Amon Racing, in 1974. His career finished with further stints at Ensign and Wolff in 1975 and 1976.Amon called time on his career after witnessing Niki Laudas horrific crash at the 1976 German Grand Prix. Having seen the flaming wreck of Laudas Ferrari, Amon refused to join the race restart and was fired by the Ensign team -- prompting him to retire from F1. ?He briefly returned with Wolf at the end of the season but failed to qualify for a race.?Amon did enjoy more success outside of Formula One, winning the 1966 Le Mans 24 Hours with fellow Kiwi Bruce McLaren - founder of the eponymous team which still carries his name. Current McLaren chairman Ron Dennis paid tribute to the late Amon on Wednesday morning.It was with profound sadness that I heard the news this morning that Chris Amon had passed away, Dennis said.Chris started 96 Grands Prix but won not one of them -- and it is safe to say that he was the greatest racing driver never to have won a race at the very highest level. He nearly won a fair few, but always it seemed that his luck would run out before he saw the chequered flag.However, he won at Le Mans, in a mighty 7.0-litre Ford, exactly 50 years ago, his co-driver his friend and fellow Kiwi, Bruce McLaren, whose name still graces the team to which I have devoted my working life. I have not met Chris for many years, but, even so, I have extremely fond memories of him, and indeed I would describe him as one of the most likeable men I have met in my long racing career.For all those reasons I want to take this opportunity to extend the heartfelt sympathies of all 3300 of us at McLaren to the family and friends of a great New Zealander, a true gentleman, and one of the fastest racing drivers there ever was: the one and only Christopher Arthur Amon.May he rest in peace.Wholesale Nike Air Max 270 .

Nike Air Max 270 From China . The 25-year-old Japanese star has officially been posted by his club team, the Rakuten Golden Eagles.NASSAU, Bahamas -- Like any father, Tiger Woods has a list of what his two children can and cannot touch in the house, even when it comes to his golf clubs.Two of them, in particular.One of them is the black Scotty Cameron Teryllium Newport putter that he used in his record-setting victory at the 1997 Masters. Two years later, he began using a silver Scotty Cameron Newport 2 putter that he used in his other 13 majors before switching to a Nike putter.Now the Newport 2 is back in the bag for the Hero World Challenge.It had been residing in the putting studio at his Florida home, and the challenge has been keeping 7-year-old Charlie away from it.Charlie knows there are two putters he cant touch, Woods said. They sit next to each other. Touch any putter, do anything you want with any other putter. These putters are off limits. These two ... only Daddy.That doesnt keep the son from trying.Of course. Hes a kid, Woods said. He wants to always mess with me in some way.---MASTERS WATCH: Marc Leishman faces a big week at the Australian PGA Championship if he wants to assure a return to the Masters next year.Golf is wrapping up another long year around the world, and the final world ranking looms. The top 50 in the final world ranking are invited to the Masters, and Leishman is sitting at No. 54.The Australian PGA is his last event of the year.Based on this weeks ranking, 12 players from the top 50 are not exempt into Augusta National. Most of them are safe, starting with Alex Noren of Sweden (No. 9) and Tyrrell Hatton of England (No. 23), who will be playing the Masters for the first time.The final world ranking mostly helps international players who are not playing a full PGA Tour schedule. Louis Oosthuizen (No. 26) and Bill Haas (No. 40) are the only players on that list who played a full PGA Tour schedule this year.On the bubble at No. 50 is Thomas Pieters, who is done for the year.Behind him at No. 52 is Thongchai Jaidee, who is scheduled to play the Hong Kong Open next week. Scott Hend is No. 60 and playing the next two weeks.That wont be the end of their Masters chances. Augusta National takes the top 50 from the ranking published a full week before the start of the Masters. And for those on the PGA Tour, all it takes is a victory at every event in early 2017 except the Puerto Rico Open.---NO REST FOR BIG EASY: Ernie Els finished his 30th event of the year at the RSM Classic, and the Big Easy is not done yet. He still has a Skins Game in Colombia with Camilo Villegas before heading home for the South African Open.Im trying to find something, Els said.For a 47-year-old with 57 victories worldwide, four majors and a spot in the Hall of Fame, there would seem to be no reason to grind. Its an example that even for a guy who has endured equal doses of aggravation and glory, sheer love of the game and competition keep pushing him.I have enough of everything. I can go do some other stuff, but I still feel I can play decent golf. And I love it, Els said.Els said it was important to set small goals at this stage in his career, and his is simple. His 19th victory on the PGA Tour was the British Open in 2012 at Royal Lytham & St. Annes. He wants to get to 20.And, he said with a smile, maybe have another go at a major here and there.---BUBBAS LESSON: Bubbaa Watson took a lot out of the Ryder Cup without even hitting a shot.ddddddddddddOverlooked as a pick, he was an assistant captain at Hazeltine, and he said he learned how to become a better player.Watson has played on three Ryder Cup teams and two Presidents Cup teams. He has had only four partners -- Jeff Overton, Webb Simpson, Matt Kuchar and J.B. Holmes. For two straight years (2011 Presidents Cup and 2012 Ryder Cup) he played only with Simpson.What he learned at Hazeltine was that he should have spent more time leading up to the matches getting to learn other players, their games and their golf balls. Instead, he felt he was too one-dimensional for a captain.When you give the captain one person, like Webb Simpson or J.B. Holmes, when you do things like that, it limits what you can do, he said. Those are the things that I learned seeing it from the other side, and those are things that I didnt think about because all youre thinking about is yourself. Were so used to thinking about ourselves and not the other stuff.So I learned a lot about me as a person and I learned about how I could do better, he said. If I do make another team event or if Im vice-captain again or if I was ever captain, Ive learned a lot from seeing it from the other side.---TIGERS FIELD: Tiger Woods is the host of the Hero World Challenge, and that include a little meet-and-greet.He doesnt know two players in the 18-man field, Russell Knox of Scotland and Emiliano Grillo of Argentina, both among the top 25 in the world. Knox actually made a passing comment to Woods when they bumped into each other in the restroom at the Quicken Loans National one year.Woods doesnt remember that.My short career will never be over until I play with Tiger Woods, Knox said at the HSBC Champions last month. That would be the cherry on top of the cake.Woods cant be faulted. Not only has he been out of golf for 15 months, new players are arriving faster than ever.The turnover rate is so much now and so young that a third of the field, sometimes Ive never heard of these guys before, Woods said.---DIVOTS: The final stage of LPGA Tour qualifying starts Wednesday in Daytona Beach, Florida. Among those in the field is Aditi Ashok of India, who has won her last two events on the Ladies European Tour. Her caddie this week is Terry McNamara, the longtime caddie for Annika Sorenstam. ... The Philippine Masters will join the European Tour and Asian Tour schedules in 2018 in a three-year deal. ... Bubba Watson has been testing equipment during the last month, which includes new Ping irons in the bag this week. He also has been testing a hybrid. ... Jeunghun Wang has won the Sir Henry Cotton Rookie of the Year award on the European Tour. He is the second straight South Korean player to win the award.
