PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- Three greens at The Players Championship remained off limits Tuesday to the strongest field in golf, a combination of bad weather in the winter and the misapplication of a lawn product. PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem said he expects the greens on Nos. 4, 11 and 12 will be fine when golfs richest tournament begins Thursday, and the warmth and sunshine will only help through the week. Even so, he conceded that conditions at the Stadium Course on the TPC Sawgrass have not been perfect in the seven years since The Players moved from late March to early May. And while he called it "unlikely," he did not entirely rule out a return to a late March date if it cant be figured out. Complaints have been minimal. Then again, the players were warned last week about a cold, wet winter and the issue with the greens. Some were expecting them to be in far worse condition than they were. Some sections have been sodded and plugged, and while there might be cosmetic issues, they appear to be fine. "When you build a tournament and youre shooting for perfection -- which is what we do -- and we have some imperfections, it doesnt make it any more palatable that the players are being good about it," Finchem said. "I mean, we need to fix our greens. And we intend to take all the steps I just mentioned and some others aggressively next year. So I think were going to be fine. "At the end of the day, if we cant maintain consistent conditions -- and I think they will be competitively fine this week on balance -- then we may have to examine the date." The grass was overseeded with rye when The Players was held in March, which is typical for most Florida courses. Finchem said that was easier to manage with the weather. But he said it still took 10 years "to really get it dialed in" for speed and firmness. The new Bermuda greens were not built until 2007, and a sand cap under the grass on greens and fairways allow the course to be firm after a rain delay. May typically offers warmer, drier weather, compared with a greater chance for rain in March. Finchem said the problem this year wasnt just a cold winter, but a rainy winter. "If were doing everything we can and it just is a continuing weather problem that we cant beat, I suppose wed rethink the date," he said. "But when youre talking about a perennial problem of three greens which have been stubborn most years since 07, I think wed probably go a different set of greens on those holes, different kinds of greens. These are small greens. We can make bigger greens and probably not have a problem." The three greens that were closed to practice are small and get a lot of foot traffic. Finchem is hesitant to make them larger to preserve the heritage of the greens and the shots that are played to them. He said the PGA Tour would be inclined to change the nature of the greens before switching the date. He said he was 90 per cent certain the Stadium Course would get a new strain of Bermuda (TifEagle) for the 2016 tournament. Finchem said a few courses in the area use it and it performs well. Phil Mickelson was among those not concerned. "I looked at them. Theyre fine," Mickelson said of the three greens closed to practice. "Theyre very playable. Everybody has got to play them. Its totally fine. Now, theyre not going to be able to be firm and fast like they normally are. Theyre softer, a little bit slower, and thats going to lead to lower scores, but it doesnt matter. Were all going to have the opportunity to shoot lower scores."

The Yankees trailed 4-3 after seven innings before tagging Baltimore relievers Kevin Gausman (2-5) and Francisco Rodriguez for four runs in the eighth to halt a six-game losing streak in Baltimore.

Alex Rodriguez contributed two doubles and an RBI for the Yanks. Adam Warren (2-2) picked up the win with a scoreless inning in relief of Ivan Nova, who surrendered four runs over six frames, with Mariano Rivera recording the final four outs to earn the 650th save of his career. Chris Davis belted a two-run homer, his 49th of the season, and finished 2- for-2 with a pair of runs scored for the Orioles. Gonzalez held the Yankees to three runs while fanning six prior to exiting after six innings with a one-run lead. Alex Rodriguez began the Yankees eighth-inning rally with a leadoff double into the left-field corner in front of Robinson Canos single off Gausman that knotted the score at 4-4. Soriano then stepped up and launched a long homer to the opposite field that put New York in front to stay. The Yankees tacked on an insurance run later in the inning when Curtis Granderson and Reynolds delivered back-to-back doubles against Francisco Rodriguez. Baltimore managed to pull within 7-5 in the bottom of the eighth, as Davis drew a walk and advanced to third on two wild pitches from New Yorks Shawn Kelley before crossing the plate on Matt Wieters sac fly.

J.J. Hardy and Brian Roberts began Baltimores half of the frame with singles and Henry Urrutia followed with an infield hit, in which New York shortstop Eduardo Nunez threw wildly to first to enable Hardy to score the tying run. Roberts, who took third on the error, came home on Nick Markakis fly ball to left when Alex Rodriguez cut off Sorianos throw on what appeared to be a close play at the plate. Shortly afterward, Davis hammered Novas first-pitch curveball into the seats to stake the Orioles to a 4-1 lead. New York used the long ball to close the gap in the sixth. Soriano lined a low fastball from Gonzalez into the seats in left, and Reynolds hit a no-doubter two batters later to cut the deficit to 4-3. Alex Rodriguez gave the Yankees a 1-0 edge with a two-out double into the left-center field gap in the third that brought in Chris Stewart, who had reached on a single and raced from first to beat the relay throw home.
