PGA Tour Golf:Going for the Red Plaid in South Carolina

It's hard to follow The Masters and its green jacket for the winner last week,who was England's Danny Willett,28- only the second Englishman to have won that major tournament,following Sir Nick Faldo.Yet the RBC Heritage is underway at its traditional venue,the Harbour Town Golf Links on Hilton Head Island,South Carolina,with a jacket of its own.The winner gets a red plaid jacket and 1,062,000 dollars.*
Sharing the lead at six under par after two rounds are Americans Kevin Chappell and Charley Hoffman,along with Jason Day of Australia.Following them in fourth place at five under par are Russell Knox of Scotland;Luke Donald of England;and American Patton Kizzire.

Magic Still Winning;Wintry East

The Orlando Magic extended their winning streak to eight games Friday night,handing the Houston Rockets a 110-95 defeat at Amway Center in Orlando,the arena that was a blue box glowing in a reddish crisscross of streets.Brandon Bass and Jason Richardson led the Magic with 18 points each,while Dwight Howard contributed 13 points and 11 rebounds and Brian Anderson shot 16 from the bench-a true team effort.
Kevin Martin led the Rockets with 27 points.Houston continues to suffer from the loss of big man Yao Ming,whose tragic career may be coming to an end after a second season of serious injuries.
Motorists lost time in New York state as snow caused accidents across the Hudson Valley,while New Jerseyans praised their road crews for doing a better job of handling the wintry conditions this time around.Light snow will brush the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions on Saturday,and Winter Storm Watches are posted from Alabama to South Carolina with the potential for ice storms in the area.
Wall Street was unimpressed by the potential for job growth,disappointed in the slow pace of additions to the work force in December.Stocks were down slightly on Friday,and the S&P futures fell 2.40 in the evening,while Treasury futures rose in price.
