1 / 1

BEN Crane was the surprise package in the first edition of the CIMB Classic in 2010, but this time around, the American will not only be battling the top field at the Mines Resort and Golf Club, but also a back problem.

"It's great to be back as the Mines is a very special place for me and my family. Also, I have made lot of friends here. It's just really cool to be back and rekindle some fond memories on this golf course, obviously," said Crane.

"It's in unbelievable condition. I'm sure you've heard a lot of players say that it's in the best condition they've ever seen.

"There is more grass on it, and the greens are really true. The fairways are really lush, and I know they shut the course down for a month to get it ready and they did a good job."

However, his back is not in such great shape.

"I've been sidelined for the last couple of months with a back injury. I had an injury to one of my discs, so I haven't played a lot but did I play last week. I feel very good about my game.

"And I had a great pro-am today (yesterday). Actually made two eagles (on the 11th and 17th) which was kind of fun.

"But at the same time, I will miss my regular caddie (Joel Stock) as his dad passed away last week and so he went home.

"So Jonathan Byrd's caddie (Adam Hayes) is carrying the bag for me this week. It's tough not to have Joel here, but he's with his family and where he needs to be."

Doktor suruh buka baju

LAPOR...Nurul menunjukkan laporan polis dibuatnya.

JOHOR BAHRU: “Disebabkan mempercayainya, saya hanya mengikut arahan apabila diminta membuka baju dan coli, namun dia meramas buah dada saya hingga saya berasa sakit.
“Saya mula curiga dan takut apabila doktor itu menyatakan saiz buah dada saya besar selain mengajak saya melakukan hsubungan seks,” kata ibu tunggal hanya mahu dikenali sebagai Nurul, 34, yang mendakwa dicabul seorang doktor sebuah hospital swasta, di sini.
Menurutnya, kejadian berlaku kira-kira jam 10.30 pagi Jumaat lalu ketika dia ke hospital berkenaan untuk mendapatkan rawatan susulan berikutan masalah darah tinggi, hidung berdarah, sakit perut dan sukar membuang air.

Nurul berkata, dia mengenali doktor berusia lingkungan 40-an itu kerana pernah mendapatkan rawatan daripadanya sebelum ini.

Menurutnya, sebelum kejadian mencabul itu berlaku, doktor terbabit mengarahkannya berbaring sambil memberitahu mahu memeriksa tekaknya.
