EAST RUTHERFORD, N. Josh Gray Pelicans Jersey .J. - Looking for their third consecutive win, the New York Giants are concerned about trying to stop Devin Hester when the Atlanta Falcons visit this weekend.Hester, a three-time Pro Bowler, has returned more punts and kicks for touchdowns than any other player in league history. He broke Deion Sanders record for return TDs with a 62-yard punt return against Tampa Bay on Sept. 18 for the 20th such score of his career.Hester has been nursing an ankle injury and was upgraded Friday to probable for Sundays game at MetLife Stadium.If Hester takes the field, the Giants have to be prepared for his ability to break the big one, much like the way Ted Ginn, Jr. of the Arizona Cardinals turned around their game with the Giants three weeks ago with a long punt return for a score.Hes been a tremendous weapon in this league for years and years, Giants coach Tom Coughlin said of Hester after Fridays practice session. He certainly attracts a lot of attention. A lot of our preparation goes towards him.Giants cornerback Zach Bowman played with Hester for six seasons in Chicago, so hes well aware of his abilities. Now, as the Giants gunner on punt returns, it will be Bowmans job to stop his good friend.Its always a challenge with Dev, Bowman said. Hes one of the most dangerous players and hes the best ever in the league now. With Dev, one of the things you dont want to do is give him an opportunity to get going. Ive seen him make so many unbelievable plays in my life. Heck, hes still doing them.Bowman had some advice for his teammates.One of the things I tell them is to not be hesitant, Bowman said. You have to play fast and think fast. You do what you have to do and then you can be able to stop him. But most definitely, hes a game changer and a show stopper.Bowman said he was looking forward to going up against Hester after being teammates and friends for so long.I called him on the phone the other day and told him I was coming after him, Bowman said. I look forward to competing against him.Zach DeOssie is the Giants long snapper and usually the first one down to the receiver on punt returns. He has faced Hester before on five different occasions.Devin demands all the respect in the world and he deserves it, because hes the greatest of all time, DeOssie said. Ive played against him a few times and its definitely a challenge. I think Steve (Weatherford, the Giants punter) will do a good job with his directional punts and were going to give him a battle. I think every team now has a dangerous punt returner, but hes the one who started it all. Its always a nice challenge facing him.Giants special teams co-ordinator Tom Quinn was asked about defending Hester and whether its best to just not kick the ball to him.You try, but all 11 guys have to do their job, Quinn said. We have to punt it where we want to with the hang time and location and the distance. And we have to cover the distance and everyone has to be in the right spot. Hes still dynamic as a kick returner and a punt returner, so its a challenge.NOTES: The Giants are still listing LB Jon Beason (foot, toe) and WR Odell Beckham, Jr. (hamstring) as questionable for Sundays game. Coughlin said Beasons status will be a Sunday morning decision, and Beckhams status was unknown, although the rookie said that he expected to play. Hes practiced on a limited basis for three days now, Coughlin said of Beckham. If the medical people are on board and the young man wants to play, well put it all together and see what happens.

She ran off seven consecutive pars from the fifth. At the par-5 12th, Lewis dropped her third shot within four feet and she rolled that in for her third birdie, and that kicked off a hot stretch of golf.

After a birdie on the par-3 17th, Lewis nearly holed her chip shot at the par-5 18th, but settled for a tap-in birdie. I was a great day. I stayed really patient out there. I didnt really have things going early, but the putts started to fall there at thee end. ETwaun Moore Jersey. It was a good start, Lewis said. You have to drive it well on this course and then miss it in the right places around the greens. Thats what I really did today. I could have probably made a couple more, but Im not going to complain about it. Hedwall played the back nine first on Thursday and she birdied her first two holes. After five pars in a row, she converted a birdie effort on the 17th. The Swede followed with a birdie on 18 and made it three in a row as she birdied the first. Hedwall stumbled to a bogey at the par-4 fifth, but came right back with a birdie on the sixth to get back to minus-5. Hedwall closed her round with a birdie on the ninth. Im very happy with how I played today. Its nice to put a good score on the leaderboard in the beginning. We were making a lot of birdies, we just made it look simple. I think its easy to play with someone who is playing well, Hedwall said of Mozo. The whole group was giving ourselves birdie opportunities and made a lot of putts. NOTES: Feng stumbled to a 2-over 75 in the opening round and that left her tied for 52nd place ... Yanhong Pan shot 2-under 71 and posted the best score among the Chinese golfers in the field ...
