CARDIFF -- Australia demolished Wales 32-8 at the Principality Stadium, but heres who stood out and who had a game to forget.?WalesLeigh Halfpenny - 7Kept Wales in the game almost single handedly with his first-half defensive work. Endured a rare off day from the kicking tee.Alex Cuthbert - 6Was put under pressure defensively but was one of Wales main attacking threats. Should have done better with a potential late two-on-one.Scott Williams - 6A late inclusion and while he struggled defensively, he scored an excellent try as he gathered his own kick.Jamie Roberts - 5An early missed tackle set the tone for a disappointing afternoon. Looked for contact too much with ball in hand.George North - 4Bamboozled by Tevita Kuridranis show-and-go as the Wallabies centre scored a try. Replaced by Hallam Amos in the second half.Dan Biggar - 3 Not a match he will want to watch back. Rightly shown yellow for tackling Dane Haylett-Petty without the ball.Rhys Webb - 6 Had a box kick charged down when Biggar was in the bin but did try to get Wales moving forward when they had the ball.Gethin Jenkins - 3Looked all of his 35 years as Wales were overwhelmed up front and found lacking in defence. His team needed calm leadership as they shipped early points, but Jenkins was unable to impose himself.Ken Owens - 4 Part of a Welsh pack that got pushed around for Stephen Moores opening try and never recovered.Samson Lee - 4Could do nothing to stop Australia gaining the upper hand up front. Replaced early in the second half.Bradley Davies - 5Showed good awareness to intercept Kuridranis first-half offload, but was guilty of conceding a turnover.Luke Charteris - 6Put in a big shift defensively, as he had to, making 12 tackles in all.Dan Lydiate - 5 Was required to work tirelessly defensively as Australia swarmed over Wales, but was unable to stem the tide despite making 12 tackles.Justin Tipuric - 6Led something of a fightback in the second half, taking the game to Australia with ball in hand. But was part of a Wales back row that was overrun at the breakdown.Ross Moriarty - 5Did as much as anyone else to spark the hosts into life with ball in hand but missed two tackles and conceded as many turnovers.Replacements: Scott Baldwin - 6Helped to stem the tide as Wales took the fight to Australia up front.Nicky Smith - 6Wales put up a much better fight up front once Smith came on alongside Baldwin and Francis. Managed five tackles in less than a half.Tomas Francis - 6 Another who came on as Wales fortunes took a slight upward turn.Cory Hill - 5 Came on for Bradley Davies to make his debut, hinted he could have a future at this level.James King - 5Came on late when the game was long gone.Gareth Davies - 5 Another late addition, for the injured Webb, tried to keep Wales on the front foot.Sam Davies - 5Made his debut as a second-half replacement but found the step up hard. Mistake punished by Haylett-Petty late on.Hallam Amos - 7First intervention after coming on was to start the move that resulted in Wales try. Looked dangerous every time he got the ball and could have added a score of his own.AustraliaIsrael Folau - 8Looked dangerous from the first minute whether attacking from deep or on the right wing. His try drought goes on, but it will come.Dane Haylett-Petty - 7Dropped a pass from Foley when it looked easier to score, but made up for that with Australias fifth and final try.Tevita Kuridrani - 8Some lovely touches in midfield in making three clean breaks and took his try exceptionally well.Reece Hodge - 7 Can be happy with a good afternoons work. Denied a first-half try by a spectacular Halfpenny tackle, linked well with Folau to score soon after.Henry Speight - 6 Another Australia back who did everything that was asked of him.Bernard Foley - 9A man of the match performance that was expertly crowned with a wonderful try. Wasnt at his best from the kicking tee, though.Nick Phipps - 7Kept the game ticking over excellently for the Wallabies and was again in tune with Foley outside of him.Scott Sio - 6 Part of a Wallabies pack that turned the screw right from the off.Stephen Moore - 7 Delivered his sides opening try as he punished some slack Welsh defence to burrow over.Sekope Kepu - 6 Sound in the scrum and impressive in the loose. One second-half offload was particularly tasty.Rory Arnold - 6Missed a couple of tackles but contributed to an excellent pack performance.Adam Coleman - 7 Australias pack was considered a weakness not too long ago. As demonstrated by Colemans 15 tackles, it isnt anymore.David Pocock - 6Perhaps not his most blockbusting performance, but in an unfamiliar role was an important cog in an Australian back row that suffocated Wales.Michael Hooper - 7 An early burst hinted at things to come and Hooper was at the heart of a stunning performance from the Wallabies at the breakdown.Lopeti Timani - 6Ensured that Australia remained on top in what was likely to be the games key area, the breakdown.ReplacementsTolu Latu - 5 Didnt have much time to assert himself.James Slipper - 5Another late arrival.Allan Alaalatoa - 5 Came on at a time when Wales were on the front foot but helped keep them out.Rob Simmons - 6 Continued Colemans fine work in the second row.Scott Fardy - 6Impressed having come on for Pocock early in the second half.Nick Frisby - 6 Helped a huge defensive effort as Wales camped on the Wallabies line and picked up where Phipps left off.Quade Cooper - 5Given tree minutes with the game won.Sefa Naivalu - 5Not enough time to show what he can do.Kirk Gibson Dodgers Jersey . There are some early surprises in the race for the Hart Trophy, but two of the contenders are the leagues biggest stars over the past decade. There are many more players in contention for the awards than just the three that Ive named, and a good or bad week can easily alter the landscape, but through the first 20 or so games of the NHL season, this is how the awards races look to me.

It was at that par 3 surrounded by an often rowdy crowd that he also heard the loudest "Boo!" in quite some time. Weekley hit his birdie putt from about 22 feet, then swiped his putter in the air as if guiding the ball into the cup. He thrust the club above his head when the ball dropped to get him to 14 under, where he finished Sunday for his first PGA Tour victory in five years. "Thats when I realized, Wow, here I go. I need to do something, either hold on to it or try to make a couple of more birdies," Weekley said. "I knew I was hitting the ball too well just to hold on." With five consecutive pars after that, Weekly finished at 14-under 266 for a one-stroke victory over Matt Kuchar, the second- and third-round leader who had a closing 68. Defending champion Zach Johnson, who also won at Hogans Alley in 2010, shot 66 to finish third at 12 under for his first top-10 finish this season -- and fifth straight at Colonial. Graham DeLaet (74) of Weyburn, Sask., tied for 22nd at 6-under par. Both of Weekleys previous wins had been at Harbour Town, in 2007 and 2008. Like the Heritage winner, the Colonial champion gets a plaid jacket, though the 2008 Ryder Cup team member wasnt able to compare any differences between them. "I couldnt tell you, its been so long," said Weekley, who moved up to No. 55 in the world ranking, making him eligible for the U.S. Open. Weekleys check of just more than $1.1 million matched what he earned his previous 14 tournaments this season while making 12 cuts and finishing in the top 10 three times. He never trailed after consecutive birdies at Nos. 8-10, those coming about the same time Scott Stallings made double bogey at No. 15 to drop out of the lead. Kuchar, at No. 13 the highest-ranked player in the field, was 12 under after a 55-foot birdie putt at the 436-yard 12th hole. Kuchar punched his right arm into the air to punctuate the shot that got him within a stroke of Weekley for the lead. Johnson was at No. 17, where a 19-footer for his second consecutive birdie also got him to 12 under. Almost as quickly, their one-stroke deficit was back to two after Weekleys birdie at No. 13. "I played well, thats all you can do and whoever wins, tip of the cap," Johnson said. Stallings closing 66 put him in a tie for fourth at 11 under, with John Rollins (68) and Matt Every (69). The best round of the day was a 62 by Web.com Tour player Franklin Corpening, a Fort Worth native who grrew up at Colonial and played at TCU.ddddddddddddHe finished at 8 under and tied for 14th, earning an automatic invitation to play again next year. Kuchar made an 11-foot birdie putt off the back fringe at No. 2 before a bogey on the next hole when he took two shots from a greenside bunker. Then came a steady stream of pars until rolling in that long putt at No. 12. He didnt have another birdie until a closing 20-footer for second place alone, his sixth career runner-up finish. "Its a bummer for me. This is a tournament, and this is a golf course, that I love," said Kuchar, a five-time PGA Tour winner. "Its difficult at the moment coming just one shot short but you cant control what other guys do." Weekley won the same week he went to see a doctor about the problem he has had recently maintaining focus in his left eye, sometimes causing bad twitches and making it problematic reading greens. "I had a few out there. It was coming and going in that wind," Weekley said. "I dont know whats going to happen. Were going to get home and work on it." Stallings had a 6-under 29 on the front nine, one off the course record, and was 13 under with a one-stroke lead when he got the 428-yard 15th hole. But he took three shots from inside a radius of about 5 yards after his approach shot from a left fairway bunker stopped behind the hole. His chip shot then hit the edge of a greenside bunker, rolling into the sand, and he failed to get out of there on his next shot before finally blasting to 6 feet. Weekley had just made an 18-foot birdie at No. 9 to get to 12 under. "It was kind of a make it, break it point," Stallings said. "Youve got to get up and down, especially with the guys with a lot of holes left." It was also at No. 15 where the only bogey of the day came for Johnson, who missed an opportunity to join five-time winner Ben Hogan as the only players to win Colonial more than twice. While on the easy par-5, 548-yard first hole, the long-hitting Weekley told his caddie that it was good to feel butterflies again. Weekleys 22-foot eagle chance at No. 1 stopped about 6 inches from the cup before he chipped in for another birdie from behind the third green. He sliced his tee shot out of bounds at No. 5 toward the Trinity River for a bogey and dropped another shot at the 437-yard seventh hole before starting his go-ahead birdie run with a 6-iron inside 4 feet at the 200-yard eighth hole. "It feels good to actually have butterflies again, knowing that Im in this, an opportunity to maybe win," Weekley said. "I might have shot 80 today. But I didnt. It was my time to win." ' ' '
