Not on my watch.Memories of a divided Australias disastrous 1985 tour of New Zealand have inspired Mal Meninga to stop any State of Origin bad blood spilling over to the Kangaroos.National coach Meninga said he was not concerned by Queensland veteran Corey Parkers claim that tensions between the State of Origin teams were at an all-time high ahead of the end-of-year Four Nations campaign in the UK.But Meninga vowed to stamp out any interstate issues in the Kangaroos camp after enduring a fractured Kangaroos trip across the ditch 31 years ago.Back then Terry Fearnley held both the Kangaroos and NSW reins, ensuring plenty of interstate friction - especially after the Blues had won their first Origin series in 1985.Fearnley copped plenty of criticism after appearing to prefer NSW players over Maroons across the ditch, culminating in a humiliating 18-0 third Test loss to the Kiwis in Auckland.The unofficial Terry Fearnley rule has all but ensured coaches have not held both state and national reins since in Australia.Asked if he feared a repeat of the 1985 debacle, Meninga said: That was driven by the leadership group.It wasnt driven by the players.I am the leader of this Test team and it will not happen, simple as that.I can assure you players will want to put their hand up for the Four Nations and who wouldnt want to be involved in the World Cup?Queensland were seething over NSW skipper Paul Gallen turning his back on Maroons skipper Cameron Smith lifting the Origin trophy and leading the Blues away after last weeks game three in Sydney.Meninga not only has to unite his Kangaroos team ahead of the end-of-year Four Nations in the UK but also next years World Cup which was launched in Brisbane on Tuesday.But Meninga - a veteran of 32 games for Queensland before a decade-long stint as Maroons coach - could not see a problem.Origin is about passion, thats what makes it so special, he said.Players will move on. I dont anticipate any problems whatsoever.He refuted Parkers claim that Origin hatred had reached another level this year.I dont think so - its as per normal, he said.Its part of the banter and theatre of Origin - there wont be any issues.Kangaroos captain Smith reckoned anyone who couldnt get over their Origin issues shouldnt be picked for Australia.Anyone that struggles with getting a call up to play for Australia and leaving that stuff at the door shouldnt play, he said.

BLAINE, Minn. -- Joe Durant made a 10-foot eagle putt on the first hole of a playoff with Miguel Angel Jimenez on Sunday to win the PGA Tour Champions 3M Championship.I almost dont even remember it going in, Durant said, because I knew I hit a good putt. I took a little more time with it and put a really good stroke on it.The 52-year-old Durant won on the par-5 18th after closing with a birdie on the hole in regulation for a 9-under 63. After a double bogey on the par-4 14th, Jimenez birdied the last four holes for a 67 to match Durant at 19-under 197 at TPC Twins Cities.Jimenez birdied the 18th in the playoff, too, before Durant rolled in the right-to-left winner.Durant won for the second time on the 50-and-over tour and the first by himself after teaming with Billy Andrade to win the Legends of Golf last year. Durant won the last of his four PGA Tour titles at Walt Disney World in 2006.I was beginning to wonder if I was ever going to win one, Durant said. And after Fridays round, when I shot 2-under, I didnt think it was going to be this weekend either, honestly ... Ive been knocking on the door, but those doubts start creeping in your mind though if you could ever shoot low enough for three days to do it. So, Im very thankful. Im fortunate to win this week.Durant opened with a 70 and shot a 64 on Saturday to begin the ffinal round four strokes behind leader Jimenez.dddddddddddd Durant birdied Nos. 1-2, 4-5 and 7-8 in a front-nine 30, and added birdies on Nos. 10 and 12. He dropped a stroke on the par-3 13th and got it back with a birdie on the par-4 14th.Jimenez shot 67-63 to take a one-stroke lead over Kevin Sutherland into the final round.Two weeks ago at Carnoustie in the Senior British Open, Jimenez took a four-stroke lead into the last day, only to shoot 75 and tie for third -- three strokes behind winner Paul Broadhurst.Jimenez won in Mississippi in March for his third career PGA Tour Champions victory. The 52-year-old Spanish player has 15 regular European Tour victories, the last in the 2014 Spanish Open at a tour-record 50 years, 133 days.Two-time winner Bernhard Langer birdied six of the first seven holes in a 64 to tie for third with Sutherland (68) at 17 under. Langer has broken par in all 24 of his rounds in the event.I was very aggressive today, Langer said. I wanted to shoot 10 under. That was my mindset.David Frost (66) and Monday qualifier Glen Day (68) followed at 16 under.Two-time defending champion Kenny Perry had a 68 to tie for 37th at 7 under.John Daly tied for 71st at 3 over after a 75.
