SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Bernhard Langer would have wrapped up the Charles Schwab Cup long ago under the old format. Instead, he has only a small lead and is one of five players who can take the season title with a victory Sunday in the PGA Tour Champions finale.Still recovering from a left knee injury that forced him to withdrew from the playoff opener two weeks ago in California, Langer will open play in the Charles Schwab Cup Championship on Friday on Desert Mountain Clubs Cochise Course. The 59-year-old German has a tour-high four victories and has wrapped up the season money title with $2,836,459.The season was fantastic, Langer said Thursday. Just to have four wins, two majors, and whats even more impressive to me is actually not finishing outside the top 13 all year. That was my worst finish, 13th, which Ive never done in my whole career. So thats pretty incredible.He re-aggravated the knee injury at home doing routine spinning.Its better. It was pretty bad in L.A. when I pulled out, Langer said. I couldnt really post up any weight on my left leg and follow through the way I wanted to follow through. I couldnt have walked that hilly golf course, either, because downhill was impossible for me to walk downhill.Last week, I was extremely careful. I played and I could play, but I had my caddie do a lot of the marking the ball, replacing the ball, lining it up. When it was downhill I went serpentine this way so I wouldnt put as much pressure on the knee. Might have to do a little bit of that this week, too, just to make sure I can finish the tournament, but right now its not bad.The season standings were re-set after the event last week in Virginia, with Langers lead over Richmond winner Scott McCarron reduced from 935,657 to 200. The top five -- Colin Montgomerie is third, followed by Joe Durant and Miguel Angel Jimenez -- would win the season title with a victory Sunday no matter where the other players finish. The tournament winner will receive $440,000 and 2,000 points.Langer won season titles in 2010, 2014 and 2015, but has never won the season-ending event.I love Desert Mountain, everything about it, Langer said. The golf course is obviously in phenomenal shape. The people here are so kind and hospitable. Great sponsor with Schwab. Food is fantastic, locker room is great. Practice facility, its all first class.He played a practice round Thursday.The roughs a little bit up and some of the greens are really firming up, Langer said. There were a few shots downwind that I couldnt stop on the green. It will be interesting to see what the wind does tomorrow, if it switches or how strong it is and all that. But its a real test, no doubt about it.Montgomerie pointed to the rough on the Jack Nicklaus-designed course.The overseeding has come in very strongly, Montgomerie said. If youre trying to make birdies, youve got to hit the fairway. You can just about make a par if youre lucky from the rough, but youre not making birdies. So to win this, youve got to make birdies, which comes from the fairways.The top 36 players in the standings qualified for the event, with the field reduced to 35 on Thursday when Tom Lehman withdrew because of an elbow injury. He withdraw after two rounds in the playoff opener at Sherwood and missed the event last week in Richmond. Nike Shox Clearance Sale .

For a guy who has spent most of the last decade as a backup quarterback, Matt Moore has an uncanny knack for intersecting with the New York Jets at pivotal moments of his career.Moore will make his first start in almost five years on Saturday night, when he replaces an injured Ryan Tannehill for the Miami Dolphins as they visit the Jets at MetLife Stadium.The opponent for Moores previous start on Jan. 1, 2012? The Jets, against whom Moore went 22-of-32 for 135 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in the Dolphins 19-17 win.Its rare to see, really, to have that much time in between starts, because something usually happens, Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said Wednesday. This organization has been fortunate as far as having the same guy behind center game after game.Tannehill, whom the Dolphins selected in the first round of the 2012 draft, started the first 77 games of his career before suffering a left knee injury in Sundays 26-23 win over the Arizona Cardinals.Moore, who went 3-of-5 for 47 yards and directed the game-winning drive last week, has attempted just 35 passes since the start of the 2012 season. The bulk of those came against the Jets on Oct. 28, 2012, when Tannehill suffered knee and quad injuries and Moore went 11-of-19 for 131 yards and one touchdown in the Dolphins 30-9 win.I think Ive filled my role the best I could and Ive had opportunities to play and its gone well, Moore said. Im lucky Im surrounded with a great team. Ive got great guys on offense to work with.In another interesting wrinkle, Jets head coach Todd Bowles knows what its like to work with Moore: He concluded his three-game stint as the Dolphins interim head coach in the 2011 season finale.I have a lot of respect for Matt, Bowles said Tuesday. He hasnt played in a while -- obviously, Tannehills been playing good for them. Matts a competitor. I know he can throw the football and hell be ready to play.With Tannehill expected to avoid surgery but miss the rest of the season, Moores task is as easy as it is imposing: Keep the resurgent Dolphins (8-5) in the playoff race against the Jets (4-9), who are one of only three AFC teams eliminated from playoff contention.The Dolphins, who havent reached the playoffs since winning the AFC East in 20008, enter this week tied with the Denver Broncos for the final wild-card spot, though the Broncos enjoy the tiebreaker via a better strength of victory.dddddddddddd However, Miami has gone 7-1 in its last eight games while Denver is just 2-4 in its last six games.Moore said he is trying to keep the same approach even as his job has changed.Ive talked to coach Gase more, Ive probably talked to (quarterbacks coach) Bo (Hardegree) a little more, Moore said. But nothing crazy has changed. Im obviously excited. Its an opportunity to win another game and keep us going in the direction were going.The Jets direction has long been established, but Saturday night represents a chance to get a little revenge on the Dolphins while finding out what they have in new starting quarterback Bryce Petty. Miami beat New York 27-23 on Nov. 6, when Kenyan Drake returned a kickoff 96 yards for the go-ahead touchdown with 5:15 remaining in the fourth quarter.Anybody in our room that doesnt think these guys kicked our butts -- and thats saying it nicely -- then somethings wrong with that, Jets special teams coach Brant Boyer told reporters this week. Hopefully we play a hell of a lot better than we did when we were down there.Petty made his regular season debut Nov. 6, when he played a series in place of injured quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. This will be the third career start for Petty, who was named the permanent starter immediately after a 41-10 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Dec. 5. He earned his first NFL win on Sunday, when he led the Jets to 17 unanswered points in the fourth quarter and overtime of a 23-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers.For the Dolphins, linebacker Kiko Alonso (hand, hamstring), linebacker Jelani Jenkins (hand, knee) and defensive end Mario Williams (ankle) are questionable.For the Jets, cornerback Buster Skrine (concussion) and nose tackle Steve McLendon (hamstring) are out. Tackle Brent Qvale (hamstring) is doubtful). Running back Matt Forte (knee), wide receivers Quimcy Enunwa (ribs) and Brandon Marshall (knee, foot, back) and defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson (ankle) are questionable. ' ' '
