		Watney shot a steady one-under-par 71 to set the halfway pace at nine-under 135, one stroke ahead of Ryan Palmer, who fired a spectacular 65, and Australian John Senden.

		While Watney and Palmer played in the morning, Senden faced tougher conditions in the afternoon as the wind strengthened throughout the day and the temperature dropped into the low-50s.

		Even Nick Watney, who family and friends tell you isn't going to be mistaken for Emeril Lagasse any time soon, is aware of this.
		While the Bulldogs have advanced to the NCAA Championship 17 of the past 25 years under Mike Watney -- their best finish was fifth in 1990 -- when Nick earned first-team All-American honors in 2002, he was only the second golfer in school history to do so.
		Regardless of other schools' interest, there wasn't any place Watney wanted to be except Fresno, where not only was his uncle in charge but Mike's son, Josh (three years older than Nick), was among the top players.

		First sighted in the now extinct Watney Cup in England in 1970, the penalty shootout wasted no time in proving how predictable its unpredictability is - if George Best was the first man to score from the spot in a tie-breaker, his Man U teammate Denis Law was the first to miss.
		Indeed, penalty shootouts - born to the World Cup in 1982 - have proved to be the greatest of great levellers.
		Seventeen World Cup matches have been decided by the cruel hand of the tie-breaker, including three of the four quarterfinals in 1986, both semifinals in Italy, the final in 1994 and, of course, Monday's match - the first such instance in the ongoing edition of the quadrennial event.

		The fifth placed club qualifies for the UEFA Cup (although in 2005-06 the fifth placed team, Liverpool, were also allowed into the Champions League as holders), and the sixth and seventh may also qualify if the winners of either the FA Cup or League Cup finish in the top four.
		No English team reached a European Cup final until 1968, which was the same year that England got their first UEFA Cup success (though English teams (Birmingham City (twice) and a London XI) reached the first three finals of the 'Inter-Fairs' Cup in its formative days).
		The 1966 World Cup saw the English national team win the World Cup in a controversial 4-2 victory over West Germany, including a hat trick from Geoff Hurst, which is still the only hat trick to be scored in a World Cup final.
