Star halfback Shaun Johnson says the Warriors determination to hang tough is the most-satisfying aspect of their come-from-behind 27-18 NRL win over Gold Coast.Johnson, nursing a thigh complaint, broke open what had been a tight contest on Saturday in Auckland with a brilliant solo try 14 minutes from fulltime.He said credit had to given to the Titans, who didnt trail until the final quarter.They scrambled hard, they were in our faces and they put us under pressure, he said.Our ability to stay in it and to weather that was probably the most pleasing thing.The Warriors were just two points in front when Johnson received the ball 60 metres out and went on a weaving run to the tryline.His effort made light of the quad strain he had taken into the past three matches.Ive just wanted to make it to the games and Ive been able to do that, Johnson said.Obviously, after this week is the bye so it should be fine by the time we play again.The win on Saturday was the Warriors fourth in their past five matches to keep them on the cusp of the top eight.It also helped to celebrate back-rower Simon Mannerings 250th first-grade appearance.Mannering stood in as captain, after regular skipper Ryan Hoffman was struck down by a virus.The Titans were missing co-captains William Zillman and Nathan Friend, who - along with rising halfback Ash Taylor - were among four late injury withdrawals.They also lost Karl Lawton early in the second half, the 20-year-old centre taken off on a stretcher in his NRL debut with a suspected broken ankle.That left them down to 15, as interchange forward Ryan Simpkins had gone off just before halftime with concussion.Stand-in skipper Ryan James played down the fact that the Titans ended up undermanned, saying it was lack of discipline that cost them.You cant really blame it on people going down, he said.Weve got the fitness behind us with what weve done in the pre-season.This came down to ill-discipline and not being able hold the ball. We shot ourselves in the foot.The Titans made a spectacular start as former Kiwi Josh Hoffman returned a grubber 95 metres for a try.Warriors centre Blake Ayshford replied with his own 80-metre effort from an intercept.Titans winger Nene Macdonald and Warriors counterpart Tuimoala Lolohea then both scored to have the teams tied 10-10 at halftime.The Warriors finally went ahead with the second of two Issac Luke penalties before Johnson made his decisive intervention.After Bodene Thompson added the Warriors fourth try, Taylors replacement Cameron Cullen grabbed a late consolation for the visitors.

Robert Green Jersey . -- PGA TOUR Canada member Steve Saunders took a three-stroke lead Saturday in the Web.KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Hector Santiago shut down the Royals punchless offence for a career-best eight innings, and the Chicago White Sox roughed up Kansas City starter Jeremy Guthrie in a 9-1 rout Friday night. Dayan Viciedo hit a three-run homer and Alejandro de Aza added a two-run shot for the White Sox, who snapped a three-game skid with their best offensive output in nearly two weeks. They scored twice in the first inning and five times in the third, when they chased Guthrie (7-5) from the game. De Azas homer came off reliever Bruce Chen in the sixth. Most of that offence turned out to be moot the way Santiago (3-5) was pitching. The left-hander gave up just three hits and a walk, and Eric Hosmers homer in the sixth represented the only run Santiago has allowed to the Royals in 19 1-3 career innings. The replacement for injured starter Gavin Floyd, Santiago delivered easily his best performance since going seven scoreless innings May 7 against the New York Mets. It also helped the White Sox get back on a winning track after losing 17 of 22 and dropping a season-high 12 games below .500. It surely helped Santiagos confidence that the White Sox staked him to an early lead. On a warm, windy night at Kauffman Stadium, Guthrie walked three of the first five batters he faced, and the bases-loaded free pass that he issued to Paul Konerko brought in the games first run. Conor Gillaspie added a sacrifice fly later in the first inning to give Chicago a 2-0 lead. The real trouble for Guthrie came in the third, when Alexei Ramirez led off with a single and Alex Rios doubled over the head of Alex Gordon in left field.dddddddddddd Adam Dunns single drove in another run, and Gillaspies single knocked Guthrie from the game. Viciedo greeted Chen with a three-run shot to give the White Sox a 7-0 lead. Guthrie wound up allowing six runs on five hits and three walks in 2 1-3 innings, his shortest start since going the same distance for the Orioles on July 7, 2009. It was his second straight shaky outing, too -- he allowed five runs over seven innings Saturday night at Tampa Bay. All the more puzzling is that Guthrie had been having success against the White Sox. Since joining the Royals last year, the right-hander had been 3-0 in six starts against their AL Central rivals, giving up just two earned runs in 44 2-3 innings. Guthrie had given up that many Friday night before escaping the first inning. De Azas two-run homer in the sixth made it 9-0, the most runs that the Royals stingy pitching staff had allowed since an 11-6 loss to the New York Yankees on May 10. It was also the most runs the White Sox had scored since beating Toronto 10-6 on June 10. Tyler Flowers was the only member of the White Sox starting lineup without a hit.
