UPPER ARLINGTON, Ohio -- The final round of the U.S. Senior Open was postponed Sunday because of heavy rain, giving Miguel Angel Jimenez another night to sleep on the third-round lead.The course at the Scioto Country Club absorbed 2.36 inches of rain late Saturday and Sunday, leading to the decision late Sunday afternoon. The USGA had hoped to get at least the first groups through during a break in the rain on Sunday, but the course was too wet to play.Rain was forecast for Monday, too. The first groups are scheduled to off at 7:30 a.m.Were going to have a drying period overnight, and we think weve got a shot to get it in tomorrow, said John M. Bodenhamer, the USGAs senior managing director of rules, competitions & equipment standards.Jimenez was at 3-under 207 on Jack Nicklaus boyhood course, a stroke ahead of Gene Sauers, and in position to win after blowing leads in his last two tournaments.Three weeks ago at Carnoustie in the Senior British Open, the 52-year-old Jimenez took a four-stroke lead into the last day, only to shoot 75 and tie for third -- three strokes behind winner Paul Broadhurst. Last week in the 3M Championship, The Spanish player was a stroke ahead entering the final round and ended up losing when Joe Durant shot 63 and eagled the first hole of a playoff.He said the delay in finishing the tournament is inconvenient more than anything else.I think all the people have the same effect, you know? he said. And everybody wants to finish a tournament on Sunday. Thats with everything. It will affect hotels, flights and everything. So anyway, we have to do what we have to do.Ian Woosnam, Loren Roberts and senior newcomer Billy Mayfair were tied for third at 1 over.The 53-year-old Sauers said a delay and a soggy course wont change how hell approach his round Monday.You have to just keep hitting fairways and greens and give yourself opportunities, Sauers said. Im going to the range a bit right now and try to work out things, try to work the ball left to right, vice versa, and try to figure out how I feel today, he said. I wasnt too comfortable yesterday. So Im going to try to see where I feel today and hopefully continue it into tomorrow, just kind of not think about things and just kind of relax and clear my mind of all whats been happening today, because I was ready to play today.Bernhard Langer, tied for sixth place at 2 over, said some adjustments will be necessary Monday after the dry, hard course they played in the first three rounds.It will play quite different because it was pretty firm, Langer said. So (well) probably get plugged balls in the fairways, mud balls. So dont know if theyll play preferred lies or not, and the greens will be softer, might spin balls back off the green instead of going over. So things like that. It will be different.---Follow Mitch Stacy at http://twitter.com/mitchstacyFor some of his other recent stories: http://bigstory.ap.org/content/mitch-stacyDerrick Favors Jersey .

Former England U21 boss Pearce named his squad on Sky Sports Now Here is who Pearce has included...Goalkeepers: Joe Hart (Manchester City), Fraser Forster (Southampton), Tom Heaton (Burnley)Pearce says: Joe Hart is the standout No 1. The only thing I would say is that I wouldve liked to have seen Jack Butland available to push him. I think Jacks getting closer and closer to Joe, but the City stopper is the No 1. Hes the standout goalkeeper and fingers crossed, he doesnt get injured. Joe Hart is joined by Fraser Forster and Tom Heaton in Pearces squad Not just for Tom, but Fraser as well, these two individuals will probably know they wont actually play a game unless he gets injured, suspended or really suffers from a bad dip in form. Its important their mentality is spot on to support Joe because nobody else in the squad will go with that mentality of not playing. These two will but they have to support the No 1.Defenders: Nathaniel Clyne (Liverpool), Kyle Walker (Tottenham), John Stones (Everton), Chris Smalling (Manchester United), Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Phil Jagielka (Everton), Leighton Baines (Everton), Danny Rose (Tottenham). VOTE: Euro defenders Which defenders should England take to Euro 2016? Have your say here... Pearce says: Leighton Baines has got a lot of tournament experience. I still think hes an outstanding full-back. Danny Rose has just gone past him ability-wise and I think he will start, but it was a tough call. Weve had a lot of left-backs over the year with Keiran Gibbs and Ryan Bertrand also playing for England, and they are all pushing for the position. I just went with Baines experience.My starting two at this moment in time at the heart of the defence are Chris Smalling and Gary Cahill.Midfielders: Eric Dier (Tottenham), Michael Carrick (Manchester United), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), James Milner (Liverpool), Ross Barkley (Everton), Dele Alli (Tottenham), Raheem Sterling (Manchester City), AAdam Lallana (Liverpool).dddddddddddd Pearce thinks Michael Carrick should go to Euro 2016 Pearce says: Before the weekend just gone, I would have totally ruled Jack Wilshere out of the squad because I know the politics between Arsenal and The FA in regard to Jack going on international duty and getting injured. Hes not started a game for a year, which is a long time.Having watched the Arsenal game at the weekend, I think Wilsheres very close to the squad. He played very well and he seemed to fit seamlessly back into side and got 70-odd minutes under his belt. Thats a judgement call for Roy. Jack Wilshere is the notable omission from Stuart Pearces 23-man England squad I also think Michael Carricks form has been good and the one thing Ive got on my mind is if Eric Dier, who will start as the holding midfield player, is let down by form or injury, who will start in front of the back four?I don think weve got many options to do it but I think Carrick can do it. Thats why hes in my squad. Pearce thinks Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy should start in attack for England Strikers: Harry Kane (Tottenham), Jamie Vardy (Leicester), Wayne Rooney (Manchester United), Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool).Pearce says: My proviso would be: play the players that are on form. When I look through the whole squad, who is on form? Joe Hart, Danny Rose, Eric Dier, Dele Alli, Jamie Vardy and Harry Kane. Those six are our form players. That lends itself to playing a diamond and we may have to go down that route. Englands best striker Should Daniel Sturridge start ahead of Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy? Where we had a lot of good wide players over the last year, all of a sudden Sterling cant get in the team and Alex Oxlade-Chamerlain is injured. Andros Townsend may be an outside bet because hes come back in and has been playing football recently. For me, you have to get the two in outstanding form playing together. Whether you play Rooney in behind them I dont know.Also See:VOTE: Englands Euro defendersEnglands injury listSturridge best England strikerWelbeck in Euros injury scare ' ' '
