Of the six total medals handed out in golfs return to the Olympics during the past fortnight, the most significant might have been the bronze awarded in the womens Olympic golf tournament on Saturday.Nothing against Inbee Park (womens gold, South Korea), Lydia Ko (womens silver, New Zealand), Justin Rose (mens gold, Great Britain), Henrik Stenson (mens silver, Sweden) and Matt Kuchar (mens bronze, USA), but they all come from mostly fully matured golfing nations.Thats not the case with womens bronze medalist Shanshan Feng, who hails from China.Coming into the week, Feng knew the stakes were high for golf in her homeland.If anybody [of the four Chinese players in the Olympic tournaments] can have a good result, maybe a medal, its going to really change everything about golf in China, she said Saturday after shooting a final-round 69. And of course, I mean, I made it, so that made me even more happy about it.Of Chinas 1.4 billion people, turning just 1 percent into golfers would bring 14 million more people into the game. At 2 percent, well, you get the picture.Feng isnt a new name in womens golf by any means. The 27-year-old from Guangzhou has four LPGA Tour victories, including a major title at the 2012 Wegmans LPGA Championship. She has finished inside the top six in the other four womens majors and won the Ladies European Tours order of merit in 2015.None of those victories will resonate in a nascent golfing country like China the way an Olympic medal will, though.Even people [in China] that they dont play golf, they actually get to see us and they get to actually see how great the Chinese players are, Feng said. Of course, I make sure that I brought out my A-game and I smile all the time, whenever if I missed a putt or making a putt. I was like, oh, people back in China are watching, so I need to make sure that I look nicely.Feng credited part of her performance on the course in Rio to how she handled herself, knowing the attention golf would get back home. She said normally in China, golf is only on golf channels. These past two weeks, though, since its part of the Olympics, she knew it would be on all over the country.Other Chinese players had made names for themselves on the world stage, but Fengs medal should stand out among many golfing accomplishments.Chinas Hao-tong Li won the Volvo China Open on the European Tour in May at age 20, but that doesnt likely resonate with the sporting public, or more importantly with Chinese government officials who could support golf with funding, like an Olympic medal does.Guan Tianlang, who is also from Guangzhou and who Feng said played on the same junior teams as her although shes several years older, competed in the 2013 Masters after winning the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship run by Augusta National. He made the cut at arguably the most famous golf tournament in the world, but it didnt change the direction of the sport in the worlds most populous nation.With the question about golfs future in the Olympics beyond Tokyo in 2020 a popular topic inside the game, having China earn a medal will certainly help make the case for increased participation in a country that could be a boon to golfs popularity around the globe.Will Fengs bronze medal turn kids in China on to golf like Se Ri Paks 1998 U.S. Womens Open victory did for South Korean children? Maybe not.Yet even if the effects of Fengs performance arent noticeable for years to come, the womens golf bronze medalist will be one of the best examples for keeping golf in the Summer Games beyond Tokyo.

Its 1987 and a Brazilian playmaker, known as Mirandinha, is being paraded around St James Park to the passionate Newcastle fans. TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- On the eve of a potential shift in the ACCs scheduling, Florida State Seminoles coach Jimbo Fisher advocated for uniform schedules across the Power 5 leagues and a college football commissioner.Id like to play for a championship where everyone has the same rules, he said. ... You dont think we need a commissioner and a set of rules to make things even? Were the only sport in America that doesnt have the same set of rules for everybody that plays.On Friday, ACC athletic directors will discuss altering the leagues scheduling model. The conference currently plays eight conference games, and beginning in 2017, all ACC teams will be required to play a nonconference Power 5 opponent. Athletic directors could change to a nine-game conference schedule or increase the number of nonconference Power 5 opponents to two, labeled the eight-and-two model.Florida State plays Florida annually at the end of the regular season and routinely schedules a Power 5 school early in the year. Fisher said he is not in favor of a nine-game conference schedule, but he ultimately wants every Power 5 conference to have a standard scheduling model.The Big Ten, Big 12 and Pac-12 all play nine conference games. The SEC plays eight conference games and a mandatory nonleague Power 5 team, similar to the ACC. The Big 12 brings its conference championship game back in 2017.Everybody goes to their own neighborhood and makes their own little rules. Im for uniform everything across the board no matter what it is:: eight-and-two, nine-and-one, 38-and-38, Fisher said.dddddddddddd Why cant we uniformly play the same number of games, play the same conference championship, play the same number of Power 5s?... Its called common sense.Fisher was also adamant about the necessity for Power 5 leagues to continue scheduling FCS opponents. He said the elimination of scheduling FCS programs will have a trickle-down effect on budgets that will ultimately lead to high school players giving up football.The Big Ten prohibits members from playing an FCS school, a rule that went into effect this season. No other league has that mandate.Ill make a statement and if people dont like it, fans [dont like it]: If you dont play an FCS ... how do they make their budget? By playing a big school. Hows the Division IIs make their budget? Playing an FCS, Fisher said. When you start taking these budgets away, where are all the high school football players going to go? Why are they going to play football when all these teams drop football? Youre killing the sport for ego.Fisher played at Division II Salem College before transferring to Division III Samford, where he was named Division III player of the year. Salem no longer plays football, and Samford has since moved up to FCS.Its not about playing FCS; its about the game of football and filtering it all the way down so theres scholarships in Division II.
