SYDNEY, Australia -- Adam Scott held a two-shot advantage over Rory McIlroy as the tournaments star players moved to the top of the Australian Open leaderboard at Royal Sydney on Friday. Scott shot 2-under-par 70 for a two-round total of 12-under 132. McIlroy, playing in the morning and avoiding the rain and storms that later hit the course, had a 65. Scott and McIlroy will play together on Saturday in the third round. "It was always going to be a day where you just had to hang on," Scott said of the tough conditions. "He (McIlroy) is one of the best players in the world so Im going to have to bring my best game." Calgarys Ryan Yip, tied for second after the first round, struggled to a score of 3 over 75 Friday and fell into a tie for 11th at 4 under. Australian Richard Green shot 66 and was three strokes behind Scott, who is trying to add the Australian Open to his Australian PGA and Australian Masters titles to become the second player after Robert Allenby in 2005 to capture the Triple Crown of Australian majors. McIlroy felt lucky to have escaped the worsening conditions. "The weather wasnt as bad as we thought it was going to be and the wind didnt pick up," he said. "So I knew we could take advantage of that, and the greens were a little bit softer as well." Defending champion Peter Senior had an 81 Friday and did not make the cut. Kevin Streelman, who played with Matt Kuchar in the American team at last weeks World Cup, retired on the fourth hole due to an eye infection. Playing for the first time in Australia, he was later taken to hospital for treatment. Streelman, playing with Scott and Jason Day, shot 70 in the opening round Thursday and began Fridays round with a birdie. But as his eye condition worsened, he had a 5 on the par-3 third and a bogey on the par-4 fourth before deciding to retire. "Its pretty rough right now but well see what we can do," Streelman said. "The doctor said it was pretty badly infected. "Ive been trying to do some drops but I started getting dizzy and its the first time Ive ever (withdrawn) at a tournament ... Im really sad to do it." Streelman won the PGA Tours Tampa Bay Championship in March and finished second with Kuchar behind Day and Scott in the team event at the World Cup at Royal Melbourne.

ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Redskins on Thursday formally appealed a ruling that stripped the team of trademark protection, the latest legal manoeuvr in the franchises attempt to defend its name against those who consider it a racial slur. The team announced that it had filed its complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia and that it "points out the many errors" in the decision by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The offices Trademark Trial and Appeal Board voted 2-1 on June 18 to cancel six uses of "Redskins" trademarked from 1967 to 1990, saying the name is "disparaging of Native Americans." "We believe that the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board ignored both federal case law and the weight of the evidence, and we look forward to having a federal court review this obviously flawed decision," Redskins lawyer Bob Raskopf said in the teams statement. The team had previously said it would appeal the ruling and had two months to do so. The trademark protection remains in place while the matter makes its way through the courts, a process that could take years. A similar ruling by the trademark board in 1999 was overturned on a technicality in 2003. Native Americans have bbeen challenging the trademark since 1992.dddddddddddd The Redskins say they will ask the court to consider "serious constitutional issues," including whether the ruling penalizes the teams right of free speech and whether the team has been unfairly deprived of "valuable and long-held intellectual property rights." The group of five Native Americans challenging the name is equally confident. "This effort is doomed to fail," said Amanda Blackhorse, the lead plaintiff. "But if they want to prolong this litigation which has already gone on for 22 years, I guess they have that prerogative." The Redskins have been under sustained pressure to defend the name over the last 18 months, with major political, church and sports figures joining the debate and saying it should be changed. Team owner Dan Snyder has vowed never to change the name, calling it a "badge of honour." "If people wouldnt dare call a Native American a redskin because they know it is offensive, how can an NFL football team have this name?" Blackhorse said. "We know that time is on our side for a change in the teams name, and we are confident we will win once again at this stage of the litigation."
