Richard Kyle Barnes (born February 6, 1981) is an American professional golfer who currently plays on the PGA Tour.

Amateur career[link]

Barnes was born in Stockton, California. He played college golf at the University of Arizona. He attended Arizona from 2000 to 2003 and during that time was named the Pac-10 Freshman of the Year in 2000, Pac-10 Co-Player of the Year in 2001, second-team All-American in 2000 and 2001 and first-team All-American in 2003. In 2002 he won the 102nd U.S. Amateur, defeating Hunter Mahan 2 & 1 in the final. Barnes and Mahan would share the 2003 Ben Hogan Award and would lead the United States to victory at the 2002 Eisenhower Trophy. In 2003 he was the low amateur at The Masters, where he finished 21st after outscoring his playing partner Tiger Woods by seven shots in the opening round.

Professional career[link]

Barnes turned professional in 2003 and joined the Nationwide Tour in 2004. His best finish on tour came in the 2006 Oregon Classic where he lost to Cliff Kresge in a playoff. Barnes finished in the 25th spot on the 2008 Nationwide Tour money list which earned him his PGA Tour card for 2009.

At the 2009 U.S. Open, Barnes set the 36-hole scoring record after shooting an 8-under 132 through the first two rounds in soft, rainy conditions. Early in the 3rd round, he would become only the fourth player ever to reach double digits under par.^[1] However, Barnes suffered a collapse in the final round, shooting a 76 (+6) and placing in a tie for 2nd, two shots behind winner Lucas Glover. The runner-up finish at the U.S. Open was his only top-25 finish in 2009, but he retained his tour card for 2010 by finishing 120th.

In 2010 a string of top 10 finishes helped Barnes to comfortably keep his card, and he finished 43rd on the money list.

In January 2011, Ricky Barnes signed a contract with G/FORE, a golf company from fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, to exclusively wear the G/FORE colored glove on the PGA Tour.

His father, Bruce Barnes, was a punter who played with the New England Patriots of the National Football League.

Gemmell wins 2006 Corner Brook Triathlon, Canada

Kris Gemmell (born 28 April 1977 in Palmerston North) is a New Zealand triathlete, and aquathon World Champion winning the title in Cancún Mexico 2002. He has also competed in the 2002 and 2006 Commonwealth Games finishing 6th and 5th respectively.

Kris Gemmell has been racing on the International Triathlon Union (ITU) World Cup circuit since 1998 and has had numerous wins and podium finishes.

Career progression[link]

When Kris moved from Palmerston North to Christchurch in the late 1990s to study at the University of Canterbury he was an aspiring Rugby union player. However an injury led to a chain of events that resulted in Kris coming to the attention and under the guidance of Doctor John Hellemans. Hellemans is a well known multiple World Champion Triathlete and coach.

In 1997 Kris competed in the ITU junior World Championships in Perth Australia coming a 6th in a field that included future World Champion Ivan Rana. Kris' break through race on the world stage in the senior ranks came in 2000 when he claimed 3rd place at the Tokyo round of the ITU World Cup.

2002 saw Kris win selection for the Commonwealth Games in Manchester England where he was the second placed New Zealander and 6th overall. Later that year he became World Champion in the Aquathon before later in the week backing it up with a 8th place at the Triathlon World Championships in Cancún Mexico.

Disappointment followed as Kris suffered some injuries and missed selection to the three person New Zealand Olympic team for Athens in 2004. Nevertheless the Year ended on a high note with his first ITU World Cup victory at Gamagori in Japan.

2005 and 2006 saw more good results on the World stage and selection to his second Commonwealth games this time in Melbourne Australia. After finishing 5th Kris had a series of 4th placings including at the World Championships in Lausanne Switzerland. Kris also won at Corner Brook Canada and his consistent year was rewarded with 5th place in the ITU points rankings for the year (2006).

In 2007 Kris has enjoyed another consistent season with three podiums and two fourth places. One of those fourths was at the Beijing round of the ITU World Cup and this result gained Kris a nomination for the New Zealand Triathlon team to race the Beijing Olympics in 2008.

Cycling[link]

Kris has also raced alongside professional cyclists in UCI sanctioned events such as the Tour of Southland and the Tour of Wellington. In 2007 Kris joined the Subway team for the Tour of Wellington as they both are sponsored by Avanti Bikes to kick start his season.

In the media[link]

Kris narrowly missed selection to the 2004 Olympics in Athens but was named as 'first reserve'. After training with other team members Hamish Carter and Bevan Docherty in France Kris was invited by TVNZ to give 'expert' comments on the men's and women's races. Carter and Docherty famously claimed the Gold and Silver medals and Gemmell was able to reassure broadcaster Brendon Telfer and the New Zealand Television audience that the Australian Greg Bennett would not catch the two New Zealanders.
