This year features the addition of a Senior Division thanks to a purse put up by Redding Kia-Subaru. Professional golfers 50-and-over can claim $1,500 for a first place finish, $1,000 for second or $500 for third place. Although the big money is still the $5,000 for the overall first place, part of a total $17,350 professional purse. Senior golfers will be paid out by whichever purse they qualify for is higher. "I don't think us seniors will be much of a threat," Larry Babica joked at Thursday's media luncheon. Among those that could pose threats are four former champions in the field of 30. Defending champion Jason Schmul won last year with a 2-day score of 145. It was tied for the highest winning score ever in tournament history as the course's brutal Back 9 gave golfers fits. Schmul's victory gave Windsor Golf Club professionals back-toback victories in Red Bluff. Another former champion Dave Carr has had strong success at the tournament in recent years. After winning in 2010, he lost in a 3-man playoff the following year. The Teal Bend professional finished third a year ago. The field includes 2007 and 2008 champion Jarrod Warner as well as 2004 champion J.J. Abraham. It could finally be Isaac Sanchez's year. Sanchez missed a putt on the final hole to miss out on the 2011 playoff. He finished second last year. In the past year Sanchez was fea- tured on the Golf Channel's The Big Break reality competition. An imposing figure, Sanchez is known for being a huge hitter with great hands around the greens. Charlie Gibson, another Big Break alum, could also be a threat to win it all. Wilcox Oaks Professional Bill DeWildt said others to keep an eye on are Dane Judson and Greg Senestraro. There's also Steve Richelieu, DeWildt's former assistant at Wilcox, who now works out of Riverview. Among the local golfers in the field are Sevillano Links professional Kyle Hanson and DeWildt himself. Although DeWildt says his favorite part of the tournament is simply playing on a team with his three brothers and nephew. The tournament pairs four amateurs with each of the 30 professionals. This year DeWildt said the tournament had to turn teams away. The Amateur Division Purse totals $13,800 this year, with $7500 per player going to the first place team. There's also prizes for Closest to the Flagstick, Longest Drive and Most Accurate Drive. DeWildt said what makes the tournament special are the volunteers, sponsors and great professionals who join teams of four for the weekend. "It's a wonderful opportunity for our amateurs," he said. The festivities begin 2:30 p.m. Saturday with the 3-person amateur horse race. Following breakfast early Sunday morning a 7:30 a.m. putting contest sets up the first full day of the Pro-Am Competition, with tee times beginning at 8 a.m. A helicopter Golf Ball Drop and Pro-Am Horse Race round out a long day of golf. The tournament concludes with the second and final round at 8 a.m. Monday. The tournament usually concludes around 4 p.m. with an awards ceremony. The tournament is sponsored by Les Schwab Tires, Rolling Hills Casino, Big O Tires, Tony's Refrigeration, Redding Distributing and Red Bluff Bull & Gelding.

Hayden ALAMEDA (AP) — D.J. Hayden's remarkable comeback from a near-death experience has taken him to the first round of the NFL draft. The Oakland Raiders selected the former Houston cornerback with the 12th overall pick after trading down nine spots to get a second rounder from Miami on Thursday night. Hayden was just moments from death last November after an on-field collision with a teammate in practice tore a blood vessel off the back of his heart. He was rushed into immediate surgery for a tear of the inferior vena cava, the large vein that carries blood from the lower half of the body to the heart. The injury is 95 percent fatal in the field, according to doctors, and is most commonly associated with highspeed motor vehicle injuries. ''I was just wondering if I would walk straight again,'' Hayden said. ''That's what was on my mind, just walking straight again. I wasn't worried about life after football, life after college, I was just worried about walking.'' But after a week of selfdescribed depression, Hayden's spirits were lifted when doctors told him he would have a chance to play football again once his sternum and stitches healed. Hayden did recover and was cleared by doctors before running a 4.4 40-yard dash at Houston's pro day in March to help cement his status as Oakland's selection. ''Of course we researched the health issues. Now, everything we got back from that standpoint was more than positive so it became a non-issue for us in that regard,'' general manager Reggie McKenzie said. ''He's going to have to mentally go through it now, that's the only issue we had''. Hayden said he is looking forward to getting back on the field and hitting people again to show he is fully recovered. McKenzie said Hayden will be ready to practice as soon as the team's rookie minicamp early next month. ''The doctors were amazed when I walked in the room and they saw my scar, they were just amazed,'' Hayden said. ''I told my story at least 300 times. The real, main concern was how would I feel getting back out there. And I just told them I have to get out there and shake the rust off myself. I can sit there and tell them anything they want to hear but I have to actually go out there and just do it myself and just play.'' McKenzie said the Raiders were ready to take Hayden with the third overall pick if they didn't get a suitable offer to move down. When Miami offered the 42nd overall pick to give the Raiders a second-round pick they lost in the Carson Palmer trade in 2011, McKenzie jumped at the chance. 2013 NFL First Round Draft Selections 1.

San Francisco selected free safety Eric Reid out of LSU with the 18th pick in the NFL draft on Thursday night after trading up to get the selection from the Dallas Cowboys. Making the move shows just how much the team believes it could have an immediate-impact player for the 2013 season. ''Unanimous decision that Eric Reid was our pick,'' coach Jim Harbaugh said on the team website. Safety was considered a significant need by general manager Trent Baalke for the 49ers, who lost Goldson to Tampa Bay at the start of the league's free agency period in March. Reid played three seasons for LSU and is still considered a raw talent in pass coverage, though he thrives in stopping the run. He could make an immediate impact on kick coverage. In 39 career college games with 26 starts over three seasons for the Tigers, the 6-foot-1, 213-pound Reid finished with 199 tackles, six interceptions, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, 11 pass breakups and 4 1/2 tackles for loss. The speedy defender's father, Eric Sr., was a three-time All-American hurdler at LSU and NCAA champion in the 110-meter hurdles in 1987. ''It really stands out,'' Harbaugh said. ''He believes that he's a winner all the way and champion kind of guy and football player. I can't wait to have him here in our home in Santa Clara. I'm sure he's excited to have the process start and know the team that wanted him the most.'' The two-time defending NFC West champion Niners gave up their selection at 31st overall to the Cowboys as well as No. 74 in the third round. San Francisco began the day with 13 picks. As with any player in Harbaugh's system, Reid will have to win a starting job during training camp. ''It's a meritocracy,'' Harbaugh said. ''We have excellent football players on our roster that have been working extremely hard. But there's no question there's quite a bit of competition at the safety position.'' Harbaugh recruited Reid to Stanford before taking the 49ers job in January 2011. The coach said Reid would likely arrive at team headquarters Saturday. ''According to his mother, who is a very honest person, she said this is where she wanted to see Eric and this is where Eric wanted to be,'' Harbaugh said. ''Wonderful, wonderful, very happy about it.'' 49ers CEO Jed York posted on Twitter the news that his team had traded up by saying, ''On the clock.'' There will be many more chances to be on the clock, too, 13. New York Jets (from Tampa Bay), Sheldon Richardson, dt, Missouri. 14. Carolina, Star Lotulelei, dt, Utah. 15.
