Bad news for Retief Goosen<\/a> is that he had to withdraw from the US Open due to his lingering back injury. He might however find some solace in the fact that his hometown, Polokwane, will be staging a professional golf tournament<\/a> for the first time in seven years.<\/p>\n

The Proteas\u2019 Dale Steyn has been on the mend from a side strain. He had a good training session<\/a> on Wednesday and his selection for Friday\u2019s ICC Champions Trophy match against the Windies will depend on his stiffness today.<\/p>\n

Sticking with the Proteas, Aaron Phangiso has (obviously) supported the selectors\u2019 decision<\/a> to field three quality spinners in the previous game and is no doubt hoping to once again be included alongside JP Duminy and Robbie Peterson.<\/p>\n

Heart-warming news is that entries are now open<\/a> for the 2013 editions of the Ride the Rhino and Race the Rhino mountain bike races \u2013 in which each cyclist is assigned a rhino to ride in memory of.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, MTN-Qhubeka won the stage five team time-trial<\/a> at the Tour of Korea on Thursday. The team also announced that they would field a strong squad<\/a> \u2013 including Milan-San Remo winner Gerald Ciolek and Sergio Pardilla \u2013 for the five-day Skoda Tour de Luxembourg.<\/p>\n

Then we preview the Lady\u2019s Slipper Stakes<\/a> at Fairview in Port Elizabeth on Friday where Alan Greeff\u2019s four-time winner Yoshie stands out.<\/p>\n
