EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France -- Germany striker Mario Gomez has been ruled out of the European Championship semifinal against either France or Iceland, while midfielders Bastian Schweinsteiger and Sami Khedira are both doubtful.The German football federation (DFB) said on Sunday that Gomez participation in the rest of the tournament is out of the question due to a muscle tear in his right thigh sustained during Germanys quarterfinal win over Italy.The DFB said the extent of all three players injuries was revealed after MRI scans in Annecy. The scans showed that Schweinsteiger had a ligament strain in his right knee, while Khedira had an injury to his left adductor. Schweinsteiger had come on for the injured Khedira early in Saturdays game in Bordeaux.Whether Schweinsteiger and Khedira can take part in the semifinal on Thursday in Marseille or a potential final on Sunday in St. Denis is open for now, the DFB said.The medical department of the national team will work hard together with the players on (their) recovery. However, the healing process cannot be precisely defined for either of them. The situation will need to be reassessed day by day, the federation said.Gomez, who scored two goals for Germany at the tournament, is definitely out, as is defender Mats Hummels due to suspension.Its very bitter when important players are ruled out at the crucial stage of the tournament, Germany coach Joachim Loew said. Im especially sorry for Mario. He produced strong performances at the European Championship and helped the team a lot, not only with his goals.Loew was nevertheless bullish of his sides chances against France or Iceland, who play in the final quarterfinal on Sunday.For us it means we must accept the new situation and find solutions, and thats what well do, Loew said. The quality of the squad is high. I have full confidence in all players. Well be ready on Thursday and looking forward to the semifinal.Jim Mcmahon Bears Jersey .

But it was fun. ... Obviously, when you shoot 7 under, everythings working. I drove it well, hit the irons pretty good and I started making putts. Putter was probably the best part, made a lot of putts even with the lip-outs.He birdied only one of the four par 5s -- the ninth.I tried to hit 3-wood second shot and I hit it up in the rough, which is a mistake, but I gouged it out about 30 feet and rolled that one right in the heart, Garwood said.Brad Faxon was a stroke back at 66, and Bernhard Langer and Larry Mize shot 67.The top 72 players on the money list after the tournament -- and one player in the top 10 in the event but outside the top 72 for the season -- will get spots in the Charles Schwab Cup Playoffs opener -- the PowerShares QQQ Championship at Sherwood in Thousand Oaks, California, on Oct. 28-30.

Made a lot of par saves and some really good birdie putts as well.
