The Toyota Free State Cheetahs are Currie Cup Champions having defeated the Blue Bulls 36-16 in Bloemfontein.It was the sides first meeting at this stage of the competition since the 2009 final which the Bulls won, and despite some good running rugby it was a first-half of penalties that dominated proceedings. Cheetahs Neil Marais and Bulls Tiaan Schoeman kicked early penalties but with the game tied at 3-3, Bulls winger Jamba Ulengo was sin-binned for hands in the ruck after eight minutes.It turned the tide back in the Cheetahs favour with Marais converting two further penalties before the 10th minute. It was a case of poor handling errors costing both teams in the final third and indiscipline at the breakdown giving both teams the only scoring chances.Schoeman brought the Bulls back within striking distance but Cheetahs led by double scores at half-time as Marais kicked three more penalties to Schoemans one for a 18-9 score at the break.The Cheetahs began the second-half as they ended the first with but Marais sent his first attempt wide after the restart. Marais made no mistake with under a half hour to play before they sealed victory. Sergeal Petersen intercepted inside his own half and ran the length of the field before being brought down inside the Bulls 22. The ball was recycled and as the Bulls defence looked to recover, Clayton Blommetjies finished in the corner.Fred Zeilinga added the conversion and a penalty for a 31-9 lead, and despite a consolation converted try from Piet van Zyl, the Bulls left it far too little, too late. Petersen put gloss on the scoreline in the final minutes with a try to secure the Cheetahs first Currie Cup victory since 2007. Ty Rattie Jersey .

Bubba Watson is already thinking about his career after golf, which just might include public office.He wants to run for mayor.Ive had a dream, Watson said. I moved back in the city limits of Pensacola (Florida) so one day I can run for mayor.The two-time Masters champion already is building quite the local enterprise at home. Last year he became a part-owner of the Pensacola Blue Wahoos, a Double A affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds. This year, he opened a candy shop in Pensacola called Bubbas Sweet Spot, serving up premium candy and ice cream.What American doesnt like chocolate? So for me, it was something fun, Watson said. That really is a kid in a candy store, like everyone talks about. We built it from scratch. That wasnt buying a shop.And he didnt stop there. His latest venture is a car dealership, Sandy and Bubbas Milton Chevrolet (he thinks the new electric car is going to be big), along with a robotics company in Pensacola that makes everything from military equipment to toys.He has invested in a few golf courses, and he is involved in an apartment complex being built in Pensacola.Its funny, I say to my friends, I say to my wife, to my manager, to my team that if you say `Bubba Watson the golfer, then youre limiting who I am, who I want to be and who I think I am, Watson said at the HSBC Champions. These other businesses are fun. Golf is fun. The golf is great. But there are other things I want to do. I have other dreams. Golf made it possible. Luckily for me, havent had bank loans. Im able to pay cash for these things.Watson, who defends his title next week in the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas, has 10 victories worldwide, and his PGA Tour earnings alone top $35 million. Its more than he imagined when he first reached the PGA Tour in 2006.But at 38, with two children, hes approaching a stage in is life when hes starting to think.He has lived in Orlando, Florida, and Scottsdale, Arizona, and North Carolina. He still keeps a home at The Greenbrier in West Virginia. But his future is near his birthplace of Bagdad in the Florida Panhandle, and he wanted to be sure to live in Pensacola to possibly run for mayor someday.To be back home ... my mom works in the candy shop, he said. The excitement around these businesses, the city of Pensacola realizes I love them. They brought me everything I have now. They took time to sponsor sporting events that I participated in. Thats the same thing Im doing. Im trying to help the community grow.So what would he do as mayor? Given a chance for some humor, Watson turned serious.The first thing you do is some form of education, he said. We talk inner city. Its where the most growth can happen, no matter what background you are. But it all starts with education.---INAUGURATION PLANS: Jim Herman will be going places he has never been in January. By winning the Shell Houston Open, he gets to start his year at Kapalua for the Tournament of Champions.

Once he was told that he would be playing with the boss -- Donald Trump -- Herman made a quick impression. Trump told him he was good enough to play the tour, and he helped financially back Herman, who eventually made it to the big leagues, and last year won his first PGA Tour event.Trump came to watch him in the FedEx Cup playoffs in 2015, not long after he announnced his candidacy.ddddddddddddAnd now hes the president-elect.Herman said he hasnt had a chance to talk to Trump yet. Trump will be at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida for Thanksgiving.Hopefully, Ill be able to see him there, get a round in, Herman said. But his schedule is going to be pretty busy. I hope to get a word in with him and congratulate him. Its a pretty amazing run for him.---ERNIE AND ZAC: Ernie Els is thinking about signing up for the team event at the Zurich Classic, and he knew exactly whom to ask.Zac Blair.Never mind that they are separated by 21 years in age and 60 victories.

Els designs golf courses and has taken a liking to the 26-year-old from Utah.You know what I like about Zac? Hes a freakin architect, Els said. We can talk architecture. He loves that. I love that, too.Blair said Els approached him about the team event, and hed love nothing better than to play New Orleans with the Big Easy.Wed have four majors between us, Blair said.
