Thomas Pieters success on American soil has been such that you could be forgiven for thinking he would have a strong affection for the country.After spending formative sporting years at the University of Illinois, during which he won the 2012 NCAA individual title, the Belgian made his first big splash in the game as a record-breaking rookie at the Ryder Cup in Minnesota last week.But becoming the first European to score four points on debut in the biennial contest doesnt mean Pieters has taken a shine to the U.S., or will be joining the PGA Tour any time soon.We have talked about it a little bit, said the 24-year-olds friend Nicolas Colsaerts, another Belgian and the world No.124. I dont think he would want to be surrounded by Americans 365 days a year.People think that because he went to the U.S. that he only wants to play the PGA Tour, but he has shown at the Ryder Cup, with his shushing of the crowd [last Saturday] and the way he plays, that he doesnt like them that much.The years he was there were with [Illinois head coach] Mike Small were very precious and played an important role in his career.But I dont see him moving there and playing any time soon. He is happy living in Antwerp, where he has a life.Colsaerts may have reason to take a blinkered view about playing in America after aborting an attempt to combine playing on the PGA Tour and European Tour in 2014, having spent two difficult years trying to make an impact in the U.S.But Pieters has said he found adapting to life in Illinois difficult, becoming the only player Small has tutored to leave early and fail to graduate.You would have to be blind not to think about playing in the U.S., said Colsaerts. There is big money and events there, but if he goes out and plays he would need to move out of Europe.Colsaerts claimed that Pieters has been inspired by European flair players, while Europes captain Darren Clarke said that he saw the same level of potential in the world No.39 as he did in Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods?when they were young.Colsaerts, whose own sensational Ryder Cup debut in 2012 remains a highlight of his career, said there was more to Pieters than meets the eye.I wasnt surprised by how well Thomas did, he said. I have knocked around with him quite a lot in the last couple of years.He absolutely hates to lose and I knew he would fit well with the atmosphere and the players around him. People have a view that he is pretty cool, but there is a bit of fire in him.He will look back on this and it will sting, but there was nothing more he could have done. It was difficult not to give him A plus. It was a Ryder Cup performance that will be in the record books for some time.What next, then, for Pieters? He was due to arrive in Scotland Tuesday, where he will be staying in a house with Colsaerts and other players involved in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship at St. Andrews.Danny Willett, Matt Fitzpatrick and Rafa Cabrera Bello -- other Ryder Cup players who started as rookies at Hazeltine like Pieters -- were among those listed as entrants, too, for the event which starts on Thursday.He is young, very driven and there is a big ambition to play in the big events, said Colsaerts, who would like to see Pieters, the winner of three European Tour titles, start to make his mark in the majors.His market value will have gone up, but he just needs to stay patient and keep doing what he does. It is only a matter of time before he does something really big at a big event. Balenciaga x Nike Air Max 97 . -- Yogi Ferrell orchestrates pretty much everything in Indianas offence.

The flanker, who has played 65 times for France, is expected to be out for up to four months. From having his position as head coach under scrutiny seven months ago, Russell Domingo has now been given the safety of a contract extension until the end of South Africas England tour next August. Domingo, whose contract was due to expire at the end of April 2017, will be in charge for the next 13 Test matches and the Champions Trophy in June 2017. Team manager Mohammed Moosajee has been given the same extension.As part of the domestic cricket review, we are currently evaluating the entire coaching framework in South Africa and the Board believed the best approach at present was to extend the tenure of Mr Domingo until the end of the England tour in 2017, Haroon Lorgat, the CSA CEO said.Naturally the performances of the Proteas was a key factor in the Boards unanimous decision. The recent 1-0 Sunfoil Test Series win against New Zealand and the impressive 5-0 win in the Momentum ODI Series against world champions Australia, resulting in us being the first nation to achieve a clean sweep against them, were noted. In addition, the excellent Proteas discipline and the positive culture throughout the coaching team, the player leadership group and the rest of the players were viewed as exemplary.The domestic review is separate from the abandoned but soon-to-be resurrected national team review, which was due to take place after South Africas World T20 exit. Former national rugby captain Francois Pienaar was the highest-profile person on the four-man panel that was due to begin work in May. When they failed to agree terms with CSA, the committee disbanded and the review was abandoned. However, another process is now underway, which will review the performances of all national teams, which is unconnected from the domestic review that was concluded earlier in the year.Among the domestic reviews recommendations was the formation of an eight--team T20 premier league to revamp the format in the country but, if that suggestion is implemented, it will only happen in the 2017-18 season.dddddddddddd It was not known that Domingos position was also part of the domestic review panels scope; however, there was a pressing need for certainty over Domingos future because of the timing of the Champions Trophy.If Domingos contract was not going to be renewed at the end of April, South Africas new coach would not have enjoyed any game time with the team ahead of the ICC event in England. South Africa do not have any fixtures scheduled between the end of March, when they tour New Zealand, and the England tour in May. As a result, a decision on Domingo had to be made at the earliest opportunity and after South Africa failed to make the final of the Caribbean triangular tournament in June, it was being speculated his time was up.However, Domingo enjoyed the support of Test and ODI captain AB de Villiers and was given the chance to redeem himself in the home series against New Zealand and Australia. A team culture camp preceded those series in which South Africa plotted what they call a new path.Stand-in captain Faf du Plessis also revealed that the coaching staff had been a major part of the discussions over changing the direction and credited them with South Africas turnaround. Although they have only climbed to No. 5 on the Test rankings from slumping to No.7 at the end of last summer, they are up to No. 2 in ODIs and have managed that without de Villiers, who is out injured. Importantly, Domingo has embraced the transformation targets and South Africa have unearthed some depth, which has seen them get back on track and earned Domingo a contract extension. ' ' '
