WINNIPEG -- The Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Hamilton Tiger-Cats have vastly different jobs now that the regular CFL season is done. Dean Lowry Super Bowl Jersey . The Tiger-Cats (10- Cool

are preparing for a playoff push after a commanding 37-7 whipping of the Bombers Saturday afternoon. "Ill be shocked if were not ready to play," coach Kent Austin said after the Ticats overcame a slow start to completely dominate the final three quarters. They have home-field advantage in the Eastern semifinal against the Montreal Alouettes. "Any type of confidence you can get, you need it, and were a confident group right now," said quarterback Henry Burris. "But we know its going to take a lot of hard preparation to get in focus for us to go out and win that game next week." Burris completed 17 of 24 passes for 135 yards and two touchdowns before Austin let him rest late in the game. He also didnt throw any interceptions, one of his weak stats this season. "He seemed like he completed a bunch of footballs," said Austin. "I dont know what his stats were but he made great reads, delivered the football, threw a couple of touchdown passes, (Im) really pleased with the way he played." Burris threw both touchdown strikes to Onrea Jones. Chevon Walker and C.O. Prime ran for two more and the Ticats picked up nine points on field goals. After managing just two field goals and a single, the Bombers (3-15) need to build a team prior to 2014, starting with a quarterback. Max Hall, at best third on the Bomber depth chart at the start of 2013, was left as their starter as the season ground to a close. Saturdays disaster, with fumbles, blocked throws and defensive miscues, while a disappointing end, wasnt much of a surprise to anyone. "Thats kind of the way this seasons gone," said coach Tim Burke, the last survivor of the trio that led the Bombers into this season. General manager Joe Mack and president Garth Buchko have already paid with their jobs. Burkes future is, at best, uncertain. "Were playing the cards were dealt," said defensive back Brandon Stewart. "We had a bad season. Theres no sugar coating it. Weve just got to come work in the off-season and see where it goes from there." What that off-season holds is anyones guess, although there is hope Winnipeg will score a starting quarterback with the Ottawa dispersal draft in the wings. One of Winnipegs best players this season, middle linebacker Henoc Muamba, continued to shine in the losing effort with nine tackles, easily topping 100 for the season. He has been named the teams most outstanding player, most outstanding Canadian and most outstanding defensive player. But hes also far from certain to return after failing to sign a new contract. "Its a possibility, its up in the air right now," was all he would say Saturday. Burke admitted there may be some relief throughout the organization now that the season is over and the team can look towards a building phase. This years finish ties the worst on record in the 18-game era, set under former head coach Jeff Reinebold, now Hamiltons special teams co-ordinator. Hamiltons finish meanwhile is their first since 2001 to break into double digits on the win side. The announced attendance Saturday was 26,316, the lowest this season including the pre-season, at Investors Group Field, the Bombers new $200-million home. As for actual fans in seats, despite a sunny day with temperatures that climbed to about nine during the game, the number was well under the announced figure. It dwindled even more by the end of the game.

That experience, with wife Justine at his side as his caddie, has come in handy in the first two rounds of the Humana Challenge. "For sure," Reed said. "Its a birdiefest, this tournament is. ... Its pretty easy to get in that Monday-qualifying mindset, due to the fact that youre playing three different courses. So, the first day, its like, All right, well, lets see how we do against the guys in my course there. And the same thing every day." A day after shooting a 9-under 63 at PGA Wests Arnold Palmer Private Course to take the lead, Reed had another 9-under 63 down the road Friday at tree-lined La Quinta Country Club to stretch his advantage to two strokes over Brendon Todd. "Its great to have that feeling that you can go out and shoot 63," said Reed, the Wyndham Championship winner in August. "And to actually do it two times in a row shows that what we have done during the off-season and what were doing now is working." Justine is pregnant with their first child, and her brother, Kessler Karain, is subbing as Reeds caddie. Justine has walked every hole with her 23-year-old husband this year and plans to rejoin him inside the ropes after the baby girl arrives around Memorial Day. Justine got a good look at his best shot of the day, a high 5-iron approach on the par-5 fifth that landed softly and rolled to 4 feet to set up an eagle. He also had eight birdies and his lone bogey in 36 holes. "That tee shot on 5s not easy," Reed said. "You have to hit a perfect high cut around that tree and if it goes straight, youre actually through the fairway. You have to hit a hook around those trees. And when I hit a perfect drive like that, had a perfect number for a 5-iron to the left flag. When I hit something three-quarters or 85 per cent, its normally a little draw, so I just aimed it in the middle of the green and hit it up there to 4 feet. That was kind of just perfect for me." La Quinta has been that kind of place for the former Baton Rouge, La., high school champion who helped Augusta State win NCAA titles in 2010 and 2011. When Reed earned his PGA Tour card back in 2012, it was at PGA West. Todd had a 63 on the Palmer course. Hes the only player without a bogey. "Obviously, both days were really solid," Todd said. "Bogey-free was huge. ... Before I knew it, I was at 7- or 8-under with a few to playy, feeling like I should birdie every hole. Darnell Savage Jr. Super Bowl Jersey. ... The weathers been so good, Im not surprised to see what Patrick did." The temperature climbed into the 80s and it was so calm the ponds looked like glass, the water as still as the plastic swans PGA West uses to scare away geese. Ryan Palmer was third, three strokes back at 15-under, after a 65 at La Quinta. He also made a short eagle putt on the fifth hole. "Overall, it was another great day," said Palmer, coming off a tie for eighth in the Sony Open in Hawaii. "Another great finish, hanging in there, staying strong." Charley Hoffman, the 2007 winner, was 14-under after a 66 on PGA Wests Jack Nicklaus Private Course. He had five straight birdies on the front nine. "Theres water, theres trouble if you short-side yourself, but if youre hitting good shots, the greens are good and you can make a bunch of birdies," Hoffman said. Bill Haas and James Driscoll were 13-under. Haas, the 2010 winner, had a 66 on the Nicklaus course, and Driscoll shot 63 at La Quinta. Charlie Beljan was another stroke back, shooting 64 on the Nicklaus course. Ottawas Brad Fritsch followed his opening round 67 with a 70, leaving him at 7-under 137. David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., who shot an opening round 68, also had a 70. Mike Weir of Brights Grove, Ont., fired a 69 after an opening round 73, leaving him at 142. Calgarys Stephen Ames carded his second straight 73. Matt Every and playing partner Will MacKenzie were 11-under in a group that included Kapalua winner Zach Johnson. Every settled for a 68 on the Palmer course after playing an early five-hole stretch in 6-under with four birdies and an eagle. MacKenzie had a 66. "I was just striping it," Every said. "I was hitting it close and then the greens, we were first off, so the greens were perfect, and I was rolling them in." After a long wait at the turn, he made a double bogey on No. 10. "We flew around the front," Every said. "Then we got to the back and there was a logjam." Johnson had an eagle, six birdies, two bogeys -- on his first two holes -- and a double bogey in a 68 on the Nicklaus course. "I would like to start over, but this is a tournament of patience," Johnson said. Playing alongside Johnson, Keegan Bradley had a hole-in-one in a 66 that left him 9-under in his first start of the year. His 176-yard shot on the third hole landed about 10 feet short of the pin and rolled in. "A little baby 7-iron," Bradley said. ' ' '
