TAMPA, Fla. -- New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman has no concerns about the health of shortstop Derek Jeter, who was limited to 17 games last season due to leg injuries. Jeter is scheduled to play Thursday against Pittsburgh in his first spring training game of his final season. Cashman said Wednesday he is "more curious as to like how the weather report is for tomorrow than what hes going to look like." "What happened last year was unfortunate and unexpected," Cashman said. "Ive been conditioned not to worry about Derek Jeter, and I havent deviated from that." Jeter, who turns 40 in June, broke his left ankle in the 2012 AL championship series, then broke it again last spring during his rehabilitation. "Im looking forward to being out there," Jeter said. "I feel good now, so last year doesnt matter. Since Ive been here this year, everything has been like a normal spring. You cant really compare last year and this year. Two entirely different years. Last year I felt as though I was rehabbing, this year Im good to go." Yankees manager Joe Girardi is handling Jeters spring training in a normal fashion. "Everything hes done has been good," Girardi said. "So, last year where we had some concerns, the way he was running, the way he was moving, we havent had any of that." Jeter got to meet 2013 Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston before the Yankees played Florida State on Tuesday. Winston is a closer and outfielder for the Seminoles. "Hes pretty remarkable," Jeter said. "I think its cool that hes playing two sports. You dont see that too often now."

With his 14-year-old brother on his bag and opponent Corey Conners of Canada sitting in the famous Vardon bunker along the 17th fairway, Fitzpatrick knocked his approach to 20 feet, then sank the birdie putt to win 2-and-1 on Saturday. Hell play in the 36-hole final against Oliver Goss, who beat fellow Australian Brady Watt 2-up in the other semifinal. A victory on Sunday would make Fitzpatrick the first U.S. Amateur champion from England since Harold Hilton in 1911. And he would do it at the course where Ouimet, a local amateur with a 10-year-old caddie on his bag, beat British pros Harry Vardon and Ted Ray in the 1913 U.S. Open in an upset that gave golf its first and biggest boost in the United States. "Its a nice position to be in," said Fitzpatrick, who along with Goss earned a spot in the U.S. Open and an expected invitation to the Masters just by making the finals. "But again, its not the end of the world if it doesnt come off tomorrow. There is worse things, so Im just giving it my best, and if I dont play well enough on the day, then thats that, really." The low amateur at the 2013 British Open, Fitzpatrick fell behind by two after four holes but turned it around with a 30-foot birdie putt on the sixth hole, tied it when he chipped in from 25 feet on No. 8 and then added another birdie on the 10th hole to take the lead. "I think that was sort of a bit of a turning point," he said. "Those three holes were the big change, really." Fitzpatrick took a 2-up lead into the 166-yard, par-3 16th hole, but he landed in the bunker while Conners put his drive about two feet from the pin and made birdie. Down one on the 17th tee, Conners drove into the same bunker that Vardon found during the playoff against Ouimet in the 1913 U.S. Open. His approach was short of the green, and the next shot was within a foot or two. But Fitzpatrick reached the front of the green -- about where Justin Leonard was in the 1999 Ryder Cup -- and made birdie to end the match. "He rolled in his 25 foot putt up tthe hill, which I was kind of expecting from what hed done all throughout the day," Conners said.dddddddddddd "Any time he was in a difficult place where he had little chance of getting it close, he hit an unbelievable little flop shot or pitch shot and played right beside the hole. When your opponent does that ... it kind of deflates the tires a little bit." Fitzpatrick, 18, has already committed to Northwestern, where he will be a freshman this fall, taking some pressure off this week as he waited the results of his "A-levels" back home. Now he can focus on Goss, a 19-year-old Australian who reached the quarterfinals last year. Goss, who plays college golf at Tennessee, won the 2012 Western Australia Amateur. "Im trying to be as calm as possible, and Ive got a big day ahead of me tomorrow," he said. "It hasnt sunk in yet, all the things that come along with being a finalist like playing in the Masters and the U.S. Open. Im definitely trying to keep as calm as possible, but it definitely hasnt sunk in, and I dont think it will for at least a couple of days." Goss and Watt, regular playing partners in Australia, were all square through 10 holes before Goss took the lead on No. 11. Watt, who was the co-medallist in the stroke play portion of the tournament, lipped out on an eagle putt on No. 14 and settled for a birdie, but Goss made a 30-footer to halve the hole and held on for the win. "It really looked like I was going to be going even with four holes to play, and to sink that putt was just unbelievable," said Goss, who was scheduled to throw out the first pitch at the Red Sox game on Saturday with Fitzpatrick. "I dont know if I could do it again if I had 100 balls. But just to sink that putt was definitely a game-changer, and definitely had a huge advantage because I went to the next tee full of confidence." For Watt, it had the opposite effect. "Whatever I did really well, he kind of did a little bit better," he said. "But Im right there, and Im really happy with myself. It doesnt feel like a loss to me because Ive had such a great experience in the States, and I take a lot out of it." ' ' '
