NRL referees boss Tony Archer has defended the bunker in the wake of criticism of its decision to award Andrew Fifitas decisive try in State of Origin III.Queensland captain Cameron Smith has left scratching his head after the video referees gave the green light to Fifitas 41st minute four-pointer, despite Michael Jennings being in front of the kicker.Despite being in an offside position, Jennings was ruled to have been passive and not involved in the play.Blues coach Laurie Daley said the rule had been relaxed and according to the NRL it has been an interpretation since 2013.At the point in which the ball is kicked, Michael Jennings is in front of the player who kicks the ball, Archer said.When you see Fifita take possession of the ball, there are three Queensland players who have retreated back to the ball and Jennings is behind those and having no influence on the game at that point. So I understand the decision and it being the correct decision.The try was compared to a no try in last years game III decider in which Johnathan Thurston was denied a try because Matt Gillett was in an offside position.However Archer said because Gillett handled the ball during the movement, he was deemed an active player and the try was turned down.But Melbourne, Queensland and Australian captain Smith hadnt got the memo about the interpretation being changed.My understanding is if a person is inside the 10m (when a try is scored after being) in front of the kicker, that is offside, Smith said.Im pretty sure last year we had a try taken off us. Matt Gillett might have been offside.That wasnt the refs ... that was the bunker that made that call, I understand that.But I didnt know we relaxed rules in our game.Maroons coach Kevin Walters agreed.I have to support Cameron, there, it was one of our things that didnt go our way, Walters said.

LOUIS -- Dave Ryan won the U.S. Senior Amateur on Thursday for his first USGA championship, holding off Matthew Sughrue 2 up at Old Warson Country Club.The 62-year-old Ryan, from Taylorville, Illinois, beat two-time Senior Amateur champion Paul Simson in the round of 16 and two-time U.S. Mid-Amateur champion Tim Jackson in the semifinals in the event for players 55-and-older . Against Simson, Ryan had the third known hole-in-one on a par-4 hole in a USGA championship, acing the 270-yard 14th.Im still in shock, a state of shock, said Ryan, the Illinois Senior Amateur winner by nine strokes last week. For a guy from Taylorville, Illinois, to win a national championship, its unbelievable.The 57-year-old Sughrue is from Arlington, Virginia.Sughrue won the opening hole, and Ryan took the next five, making a 12-footer for birdie on No. 2, a two-putt par to Sughrues bogey on No. 3, a 7-footer for birdie on No. 4, a 20-footer for birdie on No. 5 and a 15-footer for birdie on the par-5 sixth.My son gave me a video to watch from Dave Stockton, who is a great putter, Ryan said. I took some of his tips and its like shooting free throws, you just get over it, see the line, and let it go. And it worked this week. And it worked last week when I played in the state Senior Amateur in Illinois.Sughrue rallied to tie, taking the par-4 11thh with a par, the par-5 12th and par-3 13th with birdies and the par-4 15th with a par.ddddddddddddI was trying to hang on and thats when you get in trouble, Ryan said. You start getting the old steering wheel out and start steering it instead of letting it go. Once I missed that par putt on 15, it changed my mindset. I got more aggressive after that and I got back in battle mode.Ryan won the 621-yard, par-5 16th with a par. Sughrue missed the green left and down a ridge and his 15-footer for a halve lipped out lipped out. They halved the par-3 17th with pars, and Ryan ended the match with a conceded par on the par-4 18th.Its disappointing. I felt like I had enough game to come back and win and it just didnt fall my way, Sughrue said. Hes a great player and he put on a great exhibition today. But, Ill take solace in knowing that I probably shook him up a little bit with some of the shots that I had and made it a match. Ill take that as a good indication of where my game is in senior amateur golf.Ryan received a 10-year U.S. Senior Amateur exemption, two-year exemptions into the U.S. Amateur and U.S. Mid-Amateur, and one-year exemptions into the U.S. Senior Open and U.S. Open sectional qualifying.
