AKRON, Ohio -- Jason Day pulled out of the Olympics on Tuesday because of the Zika virus, costing golf its No. 1 player as it returns from a century-long absence at the games.The sport has lost two of its biggest stars in the last week, adding to the perception that the Olympics are not a high priority. Rory McIlroy, a four-time major champion, also said Zika will keep from competing in Rio de Janeiro.The sole reason for my decision is my concerns about the possible transmission of the Zika virus and the potential risks that it may present to my wifes future pregnancies and to future members of our family, Day said in a statement. I have always placed my family in front of everything else in my life.The 28-year-old Australian and his wife, Ellie, had their second child in November, and he has said they want more children.Shane Lowry of Ireland, who got married in April and plans to start a family, also withdrew Tuesday. That makes six golfers, including two of the most prominent athletes in Day and McIlroy, to specifically cite Zika for not going to Rio. The others are Charl Schwartzel and Branden Grace of South Africa, and Marc Leishman of Australia, whose wifes immune system has not fully recovered after she nearly died last year of toxic shock syndrome.With Rory and myself pulling, I dont know if that will trigger anyone else, Day said. Its not my decision. ... Some guys are in different situations. Some guys are younger and single and can take that chance, and some guys are in the same situation as me and have children or going to have children, get married and stuff like that. Its a difficult one for those guys.American cyclist Tejay van Garderen is among a handful of athletes outside of golf who also cited Zika as the reason behind not going to Rio. Basketball star Stephen Curry didnt specifically cite Zika but noted that other factors played a role in his decision to skip the games.Brazil has been the hardest hit of the approximately 60 countries that have reported an outbreak of Zika, the mosquito-borne virus linked to severe birth defects and possible neurological problems in adults.Day first expressed concern a month ago at the Memorial and said he had been consulting doctors so he could make a smart choice.I wouldnt be pulling out just because its not safe or something like that down there, because Ive never been down to Brazil and I dont know if it is safe or not, Day said at the Bridgestone Invitational. Im withdrawing from the Olympics because of the Zika, and thats the main reason here, because I just dont want to put my family at risk because of it.Australia has three players in the top 50 in the world, and all of them have withdrawn -- Day, Adam Scott (No. 8) and Leishman (No. 39). Next in line would be Scott Hend (No. 75) and Marcus Fraser (No. 81).Day had been among the strongest proponents of competing in the Olympics, as had McIlroy and other young stars. But as the July 11 deadline nears for qualifying for Rio, some top golfers have been wavering.Among the stars who plan to play or have not decided are Jordan Spieth, U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson, Bubba Watson, Henrik Stenson of Sweden and Masters champion Danny Willett of England.Golf already has lost three of the top 10 players in the world. Scott was the first to withdraw. He said Olympics were never his priority in a year in which the schedule is crammed with major championships with far more historical significant than an Olympic medal.The sport has not been part of the games since 1904 in St. Louis.Louis Oosthuizen of South Africa cited scheduling concerns when he withdrew. Vijay Singh of Fiji briefly mentioned Zika but was more bothered by the schedule. Graeme McDowell, who was in line to replace McIlroy, withdrew late last week because his wife is due with their second child a few weeks after the Olympics and he did not want to be out of the country in the weeks leading to the birth.

HOUSTON -- After three lackluster quarters by the Houston Texans on Sunday night, a good chunk of the home crowd headed out early.Tough luck for them.Nick Novak made a 33-yard field goal in overtime to give Houston a 26-23 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Houston became the first NFL team to rally from a 14-point deficit in the final 3 minutes since the Tim Tebow-led Broncos did it in 2011 against the Dolphins.Brock Osweiler threw a 36-yard pass to Jaelen Strong to get Houston to the 12 and Novaks field goal came two plays later.I think a lot of fans tonight missed a terrific performance in the third, fourth quarter by a team, Osweiler said. Nothing was perfect early on, I understand why fans were frustrated but I hope they learned tonight that this team is never going to quit fighting.Indianapolis (2-4) got the ball first in overtime, but Benardrick McKinney sacked Andrew Luck on third down to force a punt.Osweiler shook off a tough start to throw two touchdown passes in less than 2 minutes in the fourth quarter as Houston (4-2) tied it at 23 with 54 seconds left. He found Lamar Miller on a 10-yard catch-and-run TD with 2:47 remaining and, after a stop by the defense, connected with C.J. Fiedorowicz on a 26-yarder that tied it.When you have them down and have a 14-point lead late in the fourth quarter, youve got to be able to close games out, Colts coach Chuck Pagano said. We did not do that today.Houstons defense forced a punt by Indianapolis to send it to OT.Everybody stood together and everybody did their job and made plays and (was) trying to get the ball back to the offense, Jadeveon Clowney said.Luck had a 22-yard touchdown throw in the first quarter and pushed the lead to 20-9 when he dashed into the end zone untouched on a 14-yard run early in the fourth.Miller scored his first touchdown as a Texxan on a 1-yard run on Houstons first drive of the second half, but the extra point failed to leave the Texans down 13-9.dddddddddddd.The Texans stopped the Colts on fourth down after that, but Osweilers pass was intercepted two plays later. Lucks TD run came on the next drive.The Colts led 13-0 in the second quarter after two field goals by Adam Vinatieri and a touchdown catch by Jack Doyle. Osweiler and Houstons offense struggled to get going early and Osweiler had negative-9 yards passing in the first quarter. The Texans cut it to 13-3 before halftime on Novaks 27-yard field goal.MILLERS TIME: Miller finished with a season-high 149 yards rushing and added 29 yards receiving.We felt like he was the guy throughout the game that was probably playing the best on offense so at halftime we said, `Look, weve got to keep finding ways to get this guy the ball, coach Bill OBrien said.CENTURY MARK: Indianapolis Frank Gore had 22 carries for 106 yards to end the NFLs longest active streak of consecutive games by a team without a 100-yard rusher at 55. The last Colt to have 100 yards rushing was Vick Ballard in 2012.RECORD CHASE: Vinatieri made three field goals on Sunday night to extend his streak to 41 in a row and leave him one away from tying the NFL record set by Mike Vanderjagt from 2002-04. Vinatieri made field goals of 41, 37 and 36 yards on Sunday night.I wish one of those points would have been the difference in the outcome of the game, he said.FULLER OUT: Houston rookie receiver Will Fuller was active but did not play on Sunday night because of a hamstring injury. He leads all rookies with 327 yards receiving.UP NEXTColts: Visit Titans next Sunday.Texans: Visit Denver on Oct. 24.
