Serena makes semis at Rogers Cup TORONTO (AP) — Top-seeded Serena Williams eased into the Rogers Cup semifinals Friday night, overpowering Slovakia's Magdalena Rybarikova 6-1, 6-1. Williams, coming off a seventh tournament victory of the last month in the Swedish Open, had seven aces and finished off Rybarikova in 60 minutes, 5 seconds. The two-time Rogers Cup champion will face third-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland, a 7-6 (1), 75 winner over fifthseeded Sara Errani of Italy. In the other quarterfinals, fourth-seeded Li Na of China beat Slovakia's Dominika Cibulkova 7-6 (1), 6-2; and Romania's Sorana Cirstea upset sixthseeded defending champion Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic 4-6, 7-5, 6-2. PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) — Nothing was dull about the way Jason Dufner played golf Friday at the PGA Championship. If anything, it was historic. Dufner holed out from the fairway for eagle, rolled in a putt across the green for par and kept making birdies until he stood 12 feet away from a shot at the lowest score in the 153 years of championship golf. One last birdie attempt didn't even get to the hole, and Dufner had to settle for a record-tying round of 7under 63. ''Probably the worst putt I hit of the day, which is a little disappointing,'' Dufner said. ''But all in all, it's a 63, and name on top of the leaderboard. So that's a great position to be playing from.'' It was the third time in the last seven years at the PGA Championship that a player had a putt at becoming the first player to shoot 62 in a major. Tiger Woods circled the hole at Southern Hills in 2007. Steve Stricker narrowly missed at Atlanta Athletic Club two years ago. Dufner didn't feel disappointed for long. On a rain-softened Oak Hill, where pelt-sized divots were flying and birdies were falling, Dufner surged to a twoshot lead over Masters champion Adam Scott, Jim Furyk and Matt Kuchar. At 9-under 131, AP photo Jason Dufner celebrates after a birdie on the 11th hole during the second round of the PGA Championship golf tournament at Oak Hill Country Club on Friday in Pittsford, N.Y. Dufner tied the 36-hole record at the PGA Championship he now shares with six other players. Dufner was alone at the top, and in the company of some big names in history. His 63 broke the course record at Oak Hill held by Ben Hogan, Curtis Strange and Webb Simpson, who shot 64 about five hours earlier. Dufner became the 24th player to shoot 63 in a major — Greg Norman and Vijay Singh, both in the Hall of Fame, did it twice. And through it all, he barely cracked a smile. ''He's very calm,'' said Stricker, who played alongside Dufner. ''I'm sure he was churning on the inside. He just told me while we were signing our cards, he was like, 'This is a lot for a Friday.''' The possibilities were AMERICA'S CUP endless on a day that began with three hours of a steady rain until the sun broke through and took all the bite out of Oak Hill. Simpson also had a chance at 63 until he made a bogey on the 16th hole of his round. U.S. Open champion Justin Rose shot 29 on the front nine to get back into contention. When the second round finally ended, 27 players remained under par — this on a course that is stubborn when it comes to par. In five previous majors at Oak Hill, only nine players have finished the tournament in red numbers. Jack Nicklaus did it twice. The cut was at 143, the lowest at the PGA Championship since 2001 at Atlanta Athletic Club. For all the low scores, Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson were left See PGA, page 2B NCAA Enforcement staff will go back to school ''Bart'' Simpson was killed in a capsize of the syndicate's first boat on May 9.

Luna Rossa can wrap up the best-of- INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The NCAA will soon be sending enforcement staff members back to school. Interim enforcement chief Jonathan Duncan told The Associated Press he wants investigators to spend more time on college campuses so they can get a glimpse into the reallife challenges of running and policing athletic departments in today's work. ''One of the things I hear is that our staff sometimes lacks an understanding of what campus life is really like,'' Duncan said. ''So we are piloting a program where our staff will work on campus with athletic directors, compliance staff members and coaches and walk in their shoes so that we have a true understanding of what goes on.'' While the program is new, the concept is not. School leaders frequently complain the NCAA rulebook is overloaded and outdated and sometimes brand NCAA officials as out-of-touch with the ever-changing, multimillion-dollar world of college sports. There are potential pitfalls everywhere on campuses that are largely open to the public — and presumably open to troubling influences like associates of unscrupulous agents. Those contacts can jeopardize a player's eligibility and get coaches and programs in serious trouble. The consequences are greater now that the new enforcement policies have officially taken effect. The new rules hold coaches more accountable for their actions and those of their staff. Rules violations could lead to suspensions of up to one year. To avoid potentially damaging and costly punishments, school leaders also will have an opportunity to See CUP, page 2B See NCAA, page 2B AP photo Luna Rossa Challenge, foreground, prepares for its America's Cup challenger series semifinal sailing race against Artemis Racing, as two Oracle Team USA boats train in the background on San Francisco Bay on Friday.
