AGADIR, Morocco -- Alejandro Canizares of Spain extended his lead to six strokes in the third round of the Trophee Hassan II after shooting a 3-under 69 on Saturday. nfl jerseys wholesale . Leading since the first round, Canizares made four birdies and a bogey. Hes at 17-under 199 heading into the final round. Seve Benson of England remained in second place despite carding a 74. He holed four birdies to offset three bogeys and a triple bogey. Robert-Jan Derksen of the Netherlands climbed to third, one stroke behind Benson, by firing a bogey-free 67. "It was tough today, especially on the front nine. The pins were difficult to get close to and some even difficult to two-putt," Canizares said. "My idea was to get to 20 under, that was my focus. I was trying to look forward all the time, not behind me." Canizares won his only European Tour title at the Russian Open in 2006. He tied for fifth at the Qatar Masters in January. Benson dropped three shots on the 12th hole by finding a bunker off the tee before sending his recovery shot into the water. "I struggled just to get the ball pin-high," Benson said. "I was happy with the way I came back with five or six holes to go, so there are positives going into tomorrow." The 2011 winner David Horsey of England (72) shared fourth at 208 with compatriot Paul Waring (67), Shiv Kapur of India (67), Robert Karlsson (70) and Magnus Carlsson (72) of Sweden. nfl jerseys china . -- Brandon Morrow allowed five runs and six hits over three innings in the Toronto Blue Jays 6-4 loss Wednesday to the Pittsburgh Pirates. nfl jerseys cheap . FIFA Secretary General Jerome Valcke and other officials were met by jeering protesters when they arrived at the construction site of the Arena Pantanal. The demonstrators, who were complaining about the cost of next years World Cup and demanding improvements for local citizens, entered the venue and painted messages that called for "Less World Cup, more health and education. FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- On the first series of their regular-season meeting, the Denver Broncos rushed for 73 yards against the New England Patriots. By the end of the first quarter, that total reached 167. When the game was over, though, the Patriots had a 41-23 win. New England, as expected, made the necessary adjustments to control Tim Tebow and Co. Of course, the mission was helped by a hamstring injury that knocked Denver running back Willis McGahee out of the game in the third quarter. But, in take two on Saturday night, as a heavy favourite to win the rematch, the Patriots would much rather shut down Denvers ground game from the start of this AFC divisional round game. "We cant go out and fall behind early. It will be a long day for us if we do that," defensive tackle Vince Wilfork said. "We definitely have to tackle better. (Tebow) is tough in the pocket and hes tough out of the pocket." Tebow led the Broncos with 93 yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries against the Patriots on Dec. 18. McGahee picked up 70 yards on seven rushes and Lance Ball rushed for 64 yards, including a 32-yard touchdown, on 11 attempts. "Were excited," Ball said. "As an offence, (offensive) line, running backs, were excited to go out there and prove again that we can run the ball." Denvers 252 yards rushing in that game were its second most this season, but many teams had trouble stopping its rushing attack. The Broncos led the NFL with a team record 164.5 yards per game. Tebow threw for just 194 yards in that game with no completion longer than 39. But last Sunday, he had 316 yards passing with four pass plays covering at least 40. An 80-yarder to Demaryius Thomas on the first play of overtime gave the Broncos a 29-23 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the wild-card round. "Theyve made changes," Patriots cornerback Devin McCourty said. "You can see, definitely, with the last game, just taking more shots down the field and they throw some balls up there and they have guys that can come down with them and make good catches. They definitely threw some more vertical passes." Tebow doesnt expect to see the same defence either. "I feel like every game they go into they have a different game plan," he said. One thing seems certain. The Patriots will make sure they try to keep Tebow from turning the corner and running for big chunks of yardage. But his strength makes him a dangerous inside rusher, too. "Hell go anywhere," Wilfork said. "We cant be out of rush lanes. We cant be thrown off blocks. We have to play with good technique, trust our technique, ttrust one another, just trust that the guy next to you is doing his job.dddddddddddd Do that and well be OK. "But times when you dont do that, its just that little crack or that little second. You might not think they can find it, but a good team and a good football player will find it, which theyve done. Theyve done that a lot this year." They certainly did it a lot against the Patriots. The Broncos ran on eight of nine plays of the opening drive vs. New England, with Tebow scrambling off right guard for a 9-yard touchdown. On their next series, McGahee ran 29 yards on the first play, Tebow then completed a 22-yard pass to Thomas and Ball finished it with his 32-yard score. They didnt stop there. The next possession, in fact, featured runs of 12 yards by Ball and 19 by Tebow that led to a 26-yard field goal by Matt Prater and a 16-7 lead less than two minutes into the second. But three second-quarter turnovers were costly for Denver. The Patriots opened the game in a 4-3 defence but relied more on the 3-4 after the Broncos ran wild. "Four weeks ago is four weeks ago and theyre a different team now," Patriots safety Patrick Chung said, "some injuries, different players. ... I honestly feel they have (improved) because theyre still in the playoffs." Against the Steelers last Sunday, the Broncos gained more than twice as many yards passing as they did rushing, picking up just 131 yards on the ground. McGahee led them with 61 yards on 19 carries. During the regular season, he rushed for 100 or more yards in seven games, tied for the most in the NFL. He was headed for another 100-yard game until he was hurt six minutes into the third quarter on a 6-yard run against the Patriots. By that time, New England led 27-16, but Denver had lost a key player who had made the rushing game so productive. "I think I had a big (role in) that because at the beginning of the game I was in there until I tweaked my hammy," McGahee said, "and then I was out, and it was really a difference maker for us. So I think that had a lot to do with it." Now hes back, Tebow never left and Ball can still produce. So the Patriots defence cant divert its attention from the ground game just because Tebow showed last Sunday that he can throw long, accurate passes. "They have a good mix offensively," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. "If you play everybody up (on the line), theyll go downfield. If you drop everybody off, theyll take whats underneath and run the ball. They do a good job of attacking where the defence is soft. They can go inside, outside, short, deep. Theyre well balanced."
