Now if they could just score a touchdown.They have yet to find the end zone since leaving St. Louis, yet still managed to win their regular-season home debut on Sunday, beating the Seattle Seahawks 9-3 on Greg Zuerleins three field goals -- the longest a 47-yarder in the fourth quarter.The Rams (1-1) were shut out in a 28-0 loss at San Francisco in their season opener.Last week, to put it simple, we got embarrassed, wide receiver Kenny Britt said. And so to come back like this is good for morale and good for our confidence.Plenty of penalties slowed down the game for the announced crowd of 91,046 on a searing day at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, where the Rams marked the long-awaited occasion by wearing blue-and-gold throwback uniforms for their regular-season home debut.You most definitely want to set the tone, especially at home, safety Mark Barron said. This is what we do at home. When we come home, we win.With field goals accounting for all the offense, it was hardly the high-scoring show Los Angeles sports fans are known to crave.At times, the dull roar of chatter was the loudest sound from the crowd until the fourth quarter when they were on their feet cheering the Rams defense.Alec Ogletree recovered a fumble by Seattles Christine Michael at the Los Angeles 29 with 57 seconds left in the game, ending the Seahawks last scoring bid.It kind of happened all so fast, Ogletree said. I was kind of just roaming the field. I dropped like 30 yards deep, which I dont even think I was supposed to do. I just saw him (Russell Wilson) check it down, I just ran it down.The drive included an incomplete pass from Wilson and a false start penalty on the Seahawks.It was just a great play by those guys, Michael said. They played a tremendous game. I just got to do better, hold on to the ball in those situations.Barron had 11 tackles and Ogletree added eight to lead the Rams defense.Seattle racked up 10 penalties for 114 yards; the Rams had nine penalties for 78 yards.The teams put on a defensive slugfest, with passes getting broken up in the end zone, offensive drives ending in punts and neither quarterback airing it out much.Wilson was 22 of 35 for 254 yards, getting sacked twice. He sprained his right ankle in last weeks win over Miami.Rams starter Case Keenum was 18 of 30 for 239 yards. He was sacked three times.I made sure as Im running out just to savor that moment, Keenum said about emerging from the tunnel to flames and fireworks. Im going to remember it forever. It might not have been the prettiest game, but it was a lot of fun.The victory extended the Rams recent dominance against their NFC West rival. Theyve won four of their past five against the Seahawks, including both games last season. The Rams defensive line has sacked Wilson 18 times in the past five meetings.We got to see them twice a year, Barron said, so we want to establish that and let them know we are coming.Zuerlein got the Rams on the board in the first quarter with a 39-yard field goal. The Seahawks (1-1) tied it on a 23-yard field goal by Steven Hauschka in the second.Zuerlein put the Rams in front 6-3 on a 20-yarder with 1:04 left before halftime.

A group of Rams Hall of Famers, including Jackie Slater, Marshall Faulk, Eric Dickerson and Jack Youngblood helped light the Coliseums torch, which also burned when the stadium hosted the 1932 and 1984 Olympics.STILL WAITINGGoff, the No. 1 overall pick in this years draft, was promoted to backup for the game after being the inactive third-stringer in the Rams opening-week loss.

DUBAI -- Two years to the day after gaining his European Tour card, Matt Fitzpatrick won the DP World Tour Championship in dramatic fashion as Open champion Henrik Stenson clinched the Race to Dubai title.Tyrrell Hatton looked set to claim his second victory in the space of seven weeks after holing a bunker shot for par on the 17th to preserve a one-shot lead at Jumeirah Golf Estates.However, the 25-year-old then drove into the creek which runs the length of the par-five 18th and carded his only bogey of a closing 68 to open the door for Fitzpatrick in the group behind.The 22-year-old from Sheffield needed par to force a play-off or a birdie to win and duly got up and down from a greenside bunker to complete a 67 and claim the first prize of more than ￡1 million.It means the world, the Ryder Cup player said after becoming the youngest Englishman to win three times on the European Tour, eclipsing the record of six-time major winner Sir Nick Faldo.To win one of these Final Series events is really special. Words cant describe it. Its not going to sink in for a while. Its been a special year and then to end it like this with a win is amazing.Its two years to the day I got my card at the qualifying school. When you think about it, its crazy. Its all happened so fast. Now I feel this win gives me the confidence to push further and further and see what we can do next season.Hatton, who won the Dunhill Links Championship last month, admitted losing out in such a manner was a bitter pill to swallow but added: For me its been the best year of my life so I cant get too downbeat. Im sure hopefully in the future Ill take my next chance.If you told me at the start of the year I would finish fourth in the Race to Dubai I would have been surprised. Its been such a great year and Im very happy with that.South Africas Charl Schwartzel finished alone in third, with overnight leader Victor Dubuisson, Francesco Molinari, Soren Kjeldsen, Nicolas Colsaerts and Bernd Wiesberger tied fourth.Stensons share of ninth was more than enough to make certain of ending the yearr as European number one, the Swede carding a closing 65 which was matched by playing partner and defending champion Rory McIlroy.ddddddddddddMasters champion Danny Willett, who started the week 299,675 points behind Stenson, tied for 50th in the 60-man field after a closing 70. Swedens Alexander Noren, who was the other player capable of ending the season on top of the money list, was joint 23rd.Im very pleased to get my name on this trophy once again, said Stenson, who was the first man to win the Race to Dubai and FedEx Cup in the same season in 2013.Its been a great year, the best year of my career.Ive always thought it was going to be hard to top 2013, but I think Ive done that. Maybe not to the level of golf over six months, but certainly with the highlights of winning the Open, the Olympic [silver medal] and managing to win the Race to Dubai again.McIlroy was left to rue an opening 75, his only over-par score in the tournaments history, as he missed out on a fourth win of the season.If I had just shot something around level par, one under, I would have been right in the tournament, the world number two said.But these things happen and I played well for the remaining three days and at least redeemed myself a little bit.Willett had to settle for second in the money list for the second year running after struggling to rediscover top form following a winless Ryder Cup debut at Hazeltine.Its a disappointing four-week stretch that Ive just had, to end what still will be a pretty memorable year, he said.The golfs just not been good enough this last two months, maybe playing too much and trying to force the issue instead of just playing a limited amount and backing yourself to do well in the ones that you play in.I think the body and mind need a bit of a rest and hopefully I can come out fresh around a golf course that I quite like at Hong Kong [in December] and then have a good four or five-week break over Christmas.
