| WASHINGTON - The Washington Nationals have hired Bob Miller as vice-president and assistant general manager.The club announced the move Monday.The 50-year-old Miller spent the past nine seasons with the Cincinnati Reds.Before that, he worked with Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo for seven years in the Arizona Diamondbacks organization.Notes: The Nationals picked up RHP Eric Fornataro on waivers from the St. Louis Cardinals. The reliever had a 4.66 ERA in eight appearances in the majors last season. His career ERA in the minors is 3.90. Nike Air Force 1 Dame Tilbud . Huntington doesnt want to help run the club unless Hurdle is in the dugout. The combination thats returned the franchise to respectability will remain intact for years to come. Air Force 1 Herre Tilbud . Although taking two of three from the Baltimore Orioles wasnt nearly as uplifting as winning the World Series, it still felt pretty darn good. Felix Doubront and four relievers combined kept Baltimores potent lineup in check, and David Ortiz had three of Bostons 12 hits off Wei-Yin Chen in a 4-3 victory Thursday night. http://www.danmarkairforce1.com/ . - A week after a late-game debacle on defence, the Pittsburgh Steelers showed they can finish.

The 22-year-old, who calls himself the Golf Scientist for having every iron in his bag the same length, had already made several notable performances worldwide before his strong week and tied-fourth finish at Harbour Town. DeChambeau had held the early lead at Januarys Abu Dhabi Golf Championship and posted top-30 finishes in Dubai and at Bay Hill during the early part of 2016, before turning professional after ending the Masters as the best-performing amateur. DeChambeau finished in a tie for 21st at the Masters earlier this year He saved his best though for the week after Augusta, with a three-under 68 during the final round leaving him just four back from winner Branden Grace.But just how does his first professional start compare to those previously earmarked as future stars? We looked at how others fared when they made the switch from the amateur game...Jordan Spieth - MCAlthough he had already made a handful of PGA Tour events and made his major debut, Spieths first start as a professional ended with an early exit at the 2013 Farmers Insurance Open. Spieth secured his first PGA Tour title later that year at the John Deere Classic Spieth made the cut as a 16-year-old at the Byron Nelson Championship and finished as the lowest amateur at the 2012 US Open, but was unable to produce a similar result after turning professional at the end of that year.Rounds of 72 and 73 saw him miss the cut at Torrey Pines by two strokes, as Tiger Woods went on to claim the first of five titles that year.Rory McIlroy - T42After making the cut at the Open Championship and featuring for Great Britain & Ireland in the Walker Cup, McIlroy turned professional just before appearing at the 2007 British Masters. McIlroys first win wouldnt come until the 2009 Dubai Desert Classic The Northern Irishman got off to a strong start at the Belfry with an opening-round 69, but only made the cut on the line after a bogey-filled 78 on Friday.A steady weekend saw McIlroy follow a two-under 70 with a final-round 73 to leave him 17 shots adrift of eventual champion Lee Westwood.McIlroy would go on to finish third at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship later that month and end inside the top-five at the Opeen de Espana a week later, securing his full European Tour card for the following year.ddddddddddddTiger Woods - T60 Woods ended 1996 as world No 33 Woods was already a multiple US Amateur champion and had several major appearances to his name when he switched to the pro ranks in August 1996.Several weeks after winning the Silver Medal as leading amateur at the Open, Woods made the cut and a mere $2,544 for his tied-60th finish at the now defunct Greater Milwaukee Open.It wouldnt be long before Woods would reach the winners circle, winning the Las Vegas Invitational and the Walt Disney Classic on his way to securing a place at the season-ending Tour Championship. Jason Day - T67 Day would have to spend 2007 playing on the Web.com Tour Having already won numerous amateur honours in Australia, Day made the switch to America and professional golf with a tournament invitation to the 2006 John Deere Classic.Day followed a first-round 71 with a 69 on the Friday to sneak in to the weekend at TPC Deere Run, eventually collecting $8,200 in prize money for finishing 16 strokes behind champion John Senden.Although that result was the first of five cuts made from hs first six starts on the PGA Tour, he failed to secure a full playing card for the following season and spent the following year playing on the Web.com Tour. Rickie Fowler - MC Rickie Fowler helped Team USA to two Walker Cup victories Fowlers professional career began in 2009 via a sponsors invite to the Web.com Tours Nationwide Tour Albertsons Boise Open, where the then 20-year-old made an early exit.The American had already made two Walker Cup appearances and spent time as world No 1 amateur before making the switch, where he added two top-seven finishes on the PGA Tour.A play-off defeat at Frys.com Open helped him secure enough money to reclaim playing rights for the following year, before Fowler secured a full playing card by graduating from the PGA Tour Q-School. Bryson DeChambeau is back in action at the Valero Texas Open from April 21-24.
