Bernard Langer carded a superb round of 70 to move into contention for a third Masters title - at the age of 58. The Germans two-under-par round defied the blustery conditions that had disrupted many during Saturday play to use all his years of experience to plot his way round the Augusta course.A Green Jacket winner in 1985 and 1993, Langer is now a prolific champion on the seniors tour but in a display that showed echoes of Tom Watsons memorable 2009 challenge at Turnberry he moved into contention for a third major title more than 25 years after his last.Langer, a year younger than Watson was for his 2009 charge, was more than a match for playing partner and world No 1 Jason Day and his run of birdies at 13,14 and 15 was as good as anything seen at this years Masters - the German dropped a shot on the 18th but will be among the final groups on Sunday.I am playing well, I am playing nicely - I had a couple of three putts today that hurt me but otherwise a lot of great golf, Langer told Sky Sports. The 58-year-old carded one of the rounds of the day at Augusta Playing partner Day had admitted on Friday he was mystified as to how Langer could produce the goods on a course as long and demanding as Augusta despite his age and the German was quick to respond, adding: He got to see first hand today.We had a lot of fun on 14, he had an amazing birdie and I chipped in right on top of him so that was a nice moment.Asked about the importance of experience, Langer, playing in his 33rd Masters, knows it is crucial to any hopes of contending.It certainly helps there is no doubt about it. It took me two or three attempts to work out what to do and what not to do.Langer faces the prospect of a duel with leader Jordan Spieth who was eight years away from being born when the German won the last of his Green Jackets, a prospect the 58-year-old would relish.It would be great but Ive never had a chance to play with him - Ive talking to him a couple of times and he strikes me as a very nice young man and we all know he is a great golfer. Smylie Kaufman posted the most impressive score on moving day at the Masters as he shot a three-under-par 69. The honour of joining Spieth in the final group will go to Augusta debutant Smylie Kaufman, the 24-year-old carded a 69 for the only round of the last two days in the 60s.Kaufman is making only his second major appearance having missed the cut at the 2014 US Open but after moving to two-under par and within one of the lead he was pleased with his days work.It was a great day - i found myself putting for a lot of birdies, he told Sky Sports.I knew it was going to be extremenly difficult but I felt confident going into the day, the last two days i felt like I had a good number in me.Ive hung around par and battled and today was a little easier as I found a lot of greens and holed the putts that I needed to hole.

NEW ORLEANS -- The widow of NFL star Will Smith took the stand Tuesday at the murder trial of her husbands killer, disputing the defense claim that Smith was the aggressor and telling the jury, He didnt have to do that to my baby.Racquel Smith said she thought she had defused the loud, profane argument that broke out after Cardell Hayes Hummer rear-ended Smiths Mercedes SUV on a busy street in New Orleans last April.The men got out of their cars to challenge each other, but she described locking eyes with her husband, reminding him of their three children and feeling his anger diminish.I thought it was done and I think he thought it was over, too, she testified as she was questioned by New Orleans Assistant District Attorney Laura Rodrigue.Then, she heard two gunshots.I hear a pop, pop, she said. I didnt think it was me.A burning sensation spread throughout her body, and as she stumbled around to the other side of their car, she said she heard more gunshots -- the ones she learned later had killed her husband.I didnt do anything for you to shoot me, she told Hayes.Her recollections presented a vastly different picture from the one being outlined by the defense. She insisted that she heard Hayes yelling profanely after the shooting, apparently at her husbands lifeless body, making a reference to a white friend of the Smiths who also got out to challenge Hayes.You want to show up for the effing white boy, she recalled Hayes shouting.Anticipating her testimony, the defense had already disputed that claim in opening statements. They also insisted that Hayes felt threatened by Smith and his friends, who were traveling together in three cars that night after the Smiths attended the annual French Quarter festival, had dinner at a steakhouse and then met friends at a sushi restaurant.On cross-examination just before Tuesdays proceedings ended, Racquel Smith acknowledged that her husband had had alcoholic beverages throughout the day of the shooting, beginning with one at the festival, more at a bar they visited later, wine with dinner and more drinks at the sushi restaurant.Lawyers have said a toxicology report showed Hayes was legally drunk the night of the shooting. But Racquel Smith insisted her husband did nothing to provoke the gunfire.Attorneys on both sides have suggested that Louisianas stand your ground law will be at issue during the trial. Hayes, 29, faces life in prison if convicted of second-degree murder. Hes also charged with attempted murder after wounding the retired NFL playyers wife.ddddddddddddVideo showed Smiths SUV appearing to bump into Hayes Hummer before, blocks later, the Hummer slammed into Smiths car. Both men then got out and exchanged angry words as Hayes displayed his handgun. Exactly what happened next is the focus of the trial.Racquel said that she and her husband didnt believe their vehicle had actually hit the Hummer when they drove away.Hayes lawyer, Jay Daniels, says Smith and the friends were the aggressors, and Hayes only fired because Smith was reaching for his own gun.Will Smith went to his glove box to get his gun, Daniels insisted.Assistant New Orleans District Attorney Jason Napoli rejected that idea in his opening statement. He said nothing corroborates the defense claim that Smith was going back to his car to get a gun when Hayes shot him, but even if that were true, it wouldnt justify shooting him in the back.That isnt even close to self-defense, Napoli said. Thats murder.Smith was shot once in the left side and seven times in the back. Napoli said physical evidence indicates that Smith was facing Hayes when he was first shot, and not reaching for a gun in his car.Napoli also said Hayes provoked the confrontation by willfully ramming his Hummer into Smiths SUV. Hayes lawyer countered that it was an accident, and blamed it on Hayes looking at his phone and trying to dial 911 to report the SUVs license number after Smith drove away from the earlier contact.Napoli conceded that Smith was intoxicated that night but downplayed the significance, telling the jury that the irony of Smiths death is that the defensive football star died defenseless.Smith led the defense on the 2006 Saints team that helped lift the stricken citys spirits with a winning season after Hurricane Katrina. He also helped New Orleans win its only Super Bowl three seasons later.Hayes played football, too -- in a semiprofessional league -- and owns a tow-truck company. Friends described him as soft-spoken and even-tempered -- not the type to erupt into a lethal road rage.Jurors will be sequestered during a trial lawyers said could last seven to 10 days.The courtroom audience Tuesday included quarterback Drew Brees; former safety Steve Gleason, now battling Lou Gehrigs disease; safety Roman Harper; and guard Jahri Evans. Former running back Deuce McAllister was the first person called to testify, choking up at the loss of his friend. ' ' '
