The umpires baffled both coaches.But Hawthorns Alastair Clarkson and Port Adelaides Ken Hinkley say they wont be overly critical of some bewildering calls in their Thursday night AFL fixture.Whether it was for Hawthorn or against Hawthorn ... there was just a patch there where not too many on the ground knew why the free kicks were getting paid, Clarkson said after the Hawks 22-point win at Adelaide Oval.Clarkson partly blamed himself for stoking the fires with his pre-game comments which questioned Ports ability to handle Hawthorns physical style.They (umpires) knew this game was going to be pretty hot. I probably added fuel to the fire yesterday with some of my comments, he said.He said AFL was incredibly hard to umpire.Our game is the most complex and difficult game in the world, Clarkson said.I can only imagine because its so hard to play and coach, it must be really bloody tough to umpire.And we have got to tip our lids off to them really, they do a marvellous job.But like anything, you sit and wonder `geez, why did he handball there, or why did he kick it there - well, sometimes you wonder why did the umpire make that decision.But by and large they do a pretty good job for our code.Hinkley said both teams were confused by the officiating.Not just our team. It wasnt just our way or against, Hinkley said.The umpires have a tough job, theres no doubt about that. But theres some clarity in some things which would be nice.Its a challenge. Its a fierce contest. They umpire what they see and sometimes they might not always get it right but I dont think that is deliberate in any way, it just happens.I wont be having a crack at umpires because I think they do a great job.But its a hard game to umpire, its as simple as that.

TROON, Scotland -- Jason Day is more motivated by failure than success, which helps explain how he reached No. 1 in the world.And it all started last year at the British Open.Day had never felt so calm in the midst of such raging emotion that being in contention at a major can bring. He had an innate sense that it would all work out in his favor, right up until the moment that it didnt.He had a 30-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole at St. Andrews to get into a playoff. It was right on line. And he left it short.But it was that moment he realized he was good enough to win majors, and that he would win them if he had more chances. Three weeks later, he won the PGA Championship with such a dominant display of power that he became the first player to finish at 20-under par in a major.Six weeks later, he reached No. 1 for the first time.It was kind of, I guess, the start of my run where everything kind of changed my world, Day said.The 28-year-old Aussie arrived at Royal Troon on the weekend and headed out to a links course he had never seen, playing in a wind he might not see the rest of the week.The intrigue of Troon is that the shorter nine going out typically is with the wind, while the stronger, longer holes coming back are into the wind. It was the other way around over the weekend, and it began to shift on Monday on the first official day of practice with 25 mph (40 kph) gusts straight off the Irish Sea.In the last five days, the forecast has changed dramatically, defending champion Zach Johnson said. And my guess is, it could change again.The forecast for Day has a little more clarity.He has finished out of the top 10 only twice in his nine tournaments dating to March. What he brings to the Ayrshire coast of Scotland is more motivation -- his last golfing memory was more failure.Day appeared to be firmly in control at the World Golf Championship in Ohio two weeks ago until he three-putted for bogey on the 15th hole, made a mess of the par-5 16th hole on his way to a double bogey, and wound up three shots behind U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson.I learn more when I fail thaan when I win, Days.dddddddddddd Were not going to win every single one. Even though I dont like losing, it was great to be able to learn something from that and turn this into what I would say a learning experience. ... It was really bad. It was a terrible way to lose, and it was frustrating and disappointing. But things like this, you cant win them all.He said the Tiger Woods era spoiled golf fans into believing everyone should win tournaments when given a chance, and no one was better at that than Woods. Seventy times around the world, Woods had at least a share of the 54-hole lead. He won 60 of them.Thats what Im shooting for, to be able to finish off like he did back in the day, he said. Will I ever get to a point like that? Maybe not. But thats what Im shooting for right now.As a kid, Day said the two biggest tournaments were the Masters and the British Open. Australians have a long history with the claret jug, dating to Peter Thomson winning five times and Greg Norman winning twice. Day was only a year old when Norman closed with a 64 at Royal Troon, only to hit his drive on the final hole of the playoff so far that it went into a pot bunker and ended his chances.Norman still has his name on the jug twice. Woods, whom Day seeks out for advice in golf, is on there three times.Coming so close last year was definitely a motivational factor in that I would love to one day hold the claret jug and be able to put my name down in history with the best that have ever lived and played the game, he said.The jug for the last year belonged to Johnson, who poured wine from it one last time on Sunday night at a house he is sharing with players. Johnsons first duty Monday morning was to give it back to R&A chief Martin Slumbers outside the clubhouse at Royal Troon.It was bittersweet, Johnson said. More sweet, but the fact that youve got to give it back, you know its coming. I guess a portion of that sweetness is you still have an opportunity to get it back. ' ' '
