Its a telling weekend for Claude Puels Southampton as the Saints head into Sundays clash with Middlesbrough at St. Marys Stadium in need of a positive reaction after the events that unfolded this week.Puels club, which it can be argued, is in the greatest period of prosperity in team history, was knocked back a peg Thursday when they were bounced from the Europa League following a 1-1 draw with Israels Hapoel Beer Sheva at home in their final group stage match. Maor Buzaglo opened the scoring with 11 minutes to play before Virgil Van Dijk found the late equaliser, but the damage had already been done as the draw dumped the Saints out of Europa.Van Dijk, for his part, didnt mince words when asked for his post-match thoughts.Im very disappointed -- I feel (bad) to be honest with you, said Van Dijk. We need to do much better, especially in the first half. We knew how they were going to play -- we needed to do much better especially with chances we had, and every time they broke on us it was a bit dangerous.We needed to get our organisation right instead of always attacking. Thats something we need to talk about. We just need to focus on the league the most now. The EFL Cup is special, but with the current group we can do something beautiful in the league. But we need to be clinical and not concede stupid goals like we did.The Saints (4-5-5) must now quickly focus their attention on Middlesbrough, as a win in front of the home fans will wipe away some of the disappointment from the European exit.Its important to look forward and come back with a good spirit and come back in the first half of the table and keep the good concentration for the next game in the Premier League, Puel said. Its an opportunity to play quickly. Its a good thing to have this game on Sunday and to have a good reaction.The clubs league form is a bit of an issue as well, coming off a 3-0 loss at the hands of Crystal Palace. But a win can take them as high as eighth place, depending on other results.Middlesbrough (3-6-5), for their part, enter the contest unbeaten in five of their last six league matches. Theyll aim for a second consecutive victory following last weeks 1-0 result over Hull City, thanks to a 60th-minute strike from Gaston Ramirez.(Mondays win) was massive for us, midfielder Adam Forshaw said. For us to get the win, and to play as well as we did at times was a real confidence-booster.The Teeside club will be a bit shorthanded for Sunday as Alvaro Negredo, Ramirez and Jordan Rhodes are all doubts, while George Friend will miss this fixture.Alvaro, Gaston and Jordan couldnt train with the team (Friday), manager Aitor Karanka said. I need to check (Saturday) with the doctors. The main thing for me is the players who are ready to play are ready to take that chance.George it taking steps, and hopefully tomorrow he will train with us, as its not a hard session.Southampton will also be missing a key piece as forward Charlie Austin is unavailable after being subbed off in the first half of Thursdays match.We will see later what the full answer is and how long he will be out for, Puel said. Its a disappointment for him, because he has had a good first part of the season, but its important for the team to have a good answer. We will see the quality of other players.

Martha Burk is back in golf, encouraging people to join a protest over the U.S. Womens Open being held next year at Trump National in New Jersey.She made the call for supporters in a blog for The Huffington Post on Friday.Burk rose to prominence in 2002 when she challenged Augusta National to end its discrimination by inviting a female member, suggesting it could become a problem at the Masters. The club chairman, Hootie Johnson, sent her a scathing reply that the club might one day have female members, but not at the point of a bayonet.Augusta National didnt budge in the wake of enormous pressure from Burk and the media, even going so far as to go commercial-free for the 2003 Masters. Burks protest fizzled in a grassy lot. Nine years later, the club added its first two women.Burk remains with the National Council of Womens Organizations as the director of its corporate accountability project.The USGA, PGA Tour, LPGA and PGA of America released a joint statement last August to distance themselves from Donald Trumps explosive comments about Mexican immigrants when he announced his campaign for president.The PGA of America canceled its Grand Slam of Golf exhibition at Trump National in Los Angeles.

She noted that Bedminster is in compliance with the USGAs anti-discriminatory member policy.During his presidential campaign, Mr. Trump has made some remarks that are at odds with our belief that golf should be welcoming and inclusive for all. We have reiterated that we do not share his views, and that is still true, she said in an email.The LPGA said all decisions about the venue for the U.S. Open are made by the USGA.We fully expect to keep the U.S. Womens Open on our 2017 schedule, and support the decisions made by the USGA on this matter, LPGA spokesman Kraig Kann said.Burk concluded her blog by posting a link to a petition to force the USGA to play next years Womens Open somewhere else.American golfer Gerina Pillar said she preferred to stay out of the debate.If its a good course, its a good course, she said from this years U.S. Womens Open. I dont really see getting into politics. Its just one of those things where if its a good course and they see it fit to host an event there, I think that thats OK.---AP Sports Writer Josh Dubow in San Martin, California, contributed to this report.
