Masters champion Danny Willett and Lee Westwood will represent England in the World Cup of Golf at Kingston Heath in Melbourne.As the highest-ranked English player to commit to the two-man team event from Nov. 23-27, Willett had the right to choose his partner and opted for the man who finished second behind him at Augusta in April.Scotland will be represented by Russell Knox and his former Jacksonville University teammate Duncan Stewart, the world No.392 who won his first tournament on the Challenge Tour earlier this year.Willett, who finished 37th in the Olympics in Rio on Sunday, said: Its always great to represent your country. You dont get the chance to do it too often so Im excited about playing the World Cup.I was at Royal Melbourne in 2013 and although I didnt play as well as I wouldve liked, it was a cracking course and Ive heard Kingston Heath is just as good.Its a different format this time so Im really looking forward to playing with Westy. Hes played in nine Ryder Cups and has unbelievable experience of foursomes and fourballs, so I couldnt have picked a better partner.Westwood, 43, who has surprisingly never played in the World Cup before, added: Over the past couple of years Danny has shown what hes capable of and Ive got no doubt hes going to prove a great partner, so Im looking forward to pairing up with him.Ive always enjoyed team golf. Its an exciting format and it adds to the occasion when youre playing for your country, so hopefully we can bring the trophy home with us.Knox, who is a strong contender for a Ryder Cup wild card after winning the Travelers Championship earlier this month, said: I cant wait.Ive never been to Australia so it was super exciting to get the chance to go there. Ive heard the golf course is one of the best in the world so it will be fun. To represent Scotland is obviously a dream come true.The last World Cup in 2013 featured a team and individual competition, with world No.1 Jason Day winning the individual title and combining with Adam Scott to claim team victory as well.Day and Scott will again represent Australia in November, although the 2016 tournament reverts back to a 72-hole team event. Teams will play in foursomes on the first and third days of competition and in fourballs on the second and fourth.Fake Vans Slip-on . -- About a third of the way through the regular season, the Washington Wizards are at .

The Croatian served 21 aces and hit 42 winners against Sijsling, who double-faulted to give Cilic a 4-3 lead in the deciding set. "All the players, they know me and they were really happy to see me and they were really happy that this is over for me," Cilic said.LEVI, Finland -- Even with less pre-season slalom training than usual, American skier Mikaela Shiffrin keeps dominating her favorite discipline.The Olympic and world champion shifted her focus in practice to super-G and even downhill, but her reign in the slalom discipline has remained unaffected.Shiffrin held on to a comfortable opening-run lead to win the first womens World Cup slalom of the season on Saturday.She finished in a two-run combined time of 1 minute, 52.71 seconds, 0.67 ahead of Switzerlands Wendy Holdener. Slovakias Petra Vlhova came 0.75 back in third.Now I almost feel like I wish there was more time before the next races so I could train more and improve more, Shiffrin said about increasing the number of speed events on her schedule.The rest of Saturdays field trailed Shiffrin by at least a second, while Swedens Frida Hansdotter, who was runner-up after the opening leg, failed to finish her second run.I am never confident, really, said Shiffrin, who has won all nine slaloms that she has competed in since February 2015. However, Hansdotter took the slalom title last season as Shiffrin missed five races because of a knee injury.Shiffrins ninth consecutive win left her one short of Janica Kostelics record. The Croatian great won 10 straight slaloms that she competed in between December 1999 and February 2001.Still, Shiffrin wouldnt take anything for granted, referring to the strength of her challengers.Frida went out, and Wendy skied really strong but she had a huge mistake the first run, the American said. Without that mistake she would have been even faster, and Petra was really good as well.The victory in northern Finland earned Shiffrin an usual prize -- a reindeer. Shee got one from her previous win here in 2013 and called him `Rudolph.dddddddddddd. This time she was going to call him `Sven -- after the reindeer from the movie Frozen.It was Shiffrins 21st career win and 20th in slalom, matching Kostelics number of wins. Only Austrias Marlies Raich (35) and Swiss pair Vreni Schneider (34) and Erika Hess (21) won more slaloms.Racing down the slope in the orange glow of the setting Arctic sun, Shiffrin took a 0.72-second lead over Hansdotter and Holdener, who shared second place after the opening run.While Holdener put pressure on Shiffrin with a near-flawless second attempt, Hansdotter straddled a gate when she entered the steep pitch and failed to finish.Shiffrin wasnt clean from the start of her final run and had lost 0.13 on Holdener at the first split, but the American accelerated to extend her lead to 0.92 before avoiding risks in the final part of her run.The victory gave Shiffrin, who placed second in the season-opening GS last month, the lead in the overall standings with 180 points, 80 clear of Lara Gut.The overall champion from Switzerland won the race last month but usually does not compete in slaloms.The 18-year-old Melanie Meillard of Switzerland, who was competing in her fourth World Cup race, started in 40th but finished sixth, 1.87 off the lead.Austrias Bernadette Schild, younger sister of retired slalom great Marlies Raich, failed to qualify for the second run after damaging the edge of a ski early in her run and finishing 3.92 seconds behind Shiffrin.A mens slalom on the same course is scheduled for Sunday.
