EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France -- South Korean teen Hyo-Joo Kim made history look easy, with barely a glitch as she posted the lowest score ever in a major with a 10-under 61 to open the Evian Championship on Thursday. To boot, the first round of her major debut achieved perfect symmetry, with five birdies each on the front and back nine. "I made a chance (for) a birdie on every (hole)," she said. "I missed some (but) it didnt matter." If she didnt sound fussed about the 61, its because she did it last year on Japans JLPGA circuit. "My goal is to have a good experience here. Thats all," said the 19-year-old Kim, who was in the first year of a physical education course at Seoul University. Her good experience exceeded the previous best score in a major of 62, by Minea Blomqvist of Finland in the third round of the 2004 British Open -- also when she was 19 -- and Lorena Ochoa in the first round of the 2006 Kraft Nabisco Championship. In a mens major, 63 is the lowest, and it has been achieved multiple times. "I like a hard course," Kim said. "I felt very comfortable today." Blomqvist and Ochoa might still be holding their record if not for Kims remarkable escape on the third hole, when she went into the bunker off the tee and still got a birdie. "She had a few up and downs and a chip-in on the third, par four ... after she shot a little bit left," her caddie Gordon Rowan said. "She had a very difficult chip." "Shes not a massive hitter but has a very decent length, and keeps up with the girls. Shes so straight and this is a course where you need to hit fairways because the rough is very thick. Her accuracy into the greens means that shes never far away. She also has a very good temperament, and even on days when shes fighting and putts dont fall, she keeps going." Kim is ranked 20th in the world, and leads the Korean LPGA money list with three wins. She takes a four-shot lead over veteran Karrie Webb into the second round of the last major of the year. Korean Mi-Jung Hur was five behind Kim in third after a round of 66, while defending champion Suzann Pettersen of Norway and Brittany Lincicome of the U.S. were six behind. Inbee Park, bidding for back-to-back majors after defending her title at the LPGA Championship, was tied for 12th at 2 under. Meanwhile, Michelle Wies bid for a second major ended early as she retired after just 13 holes, clearly still feeling the effects of a recent finger injury. Wie had two double bogeys and was 5 over when she pulled out. The U.S. Womens Open champion was returning after five weeks out and missing four tournaments following a stress reaction in her right index finger. She wore blue strapping around her hand. "I had hoped it was a week later but I just really wanted to come to France. I really love this tournament," she said. "The doctors told me Its all up to you. But they did tell me if it did hurt to stop right away because it could get worse. "I should have stopped earlier but I was having so much fun out there." Wie believed she should be able to play next month, in Asia. The 39-year-old Webb had eight birdies but was undone by two bogeys. The last of Webbs seven majors was at the Kraft Nabisco in 2006, the year she won at Evian. "Probably the best I putted for a long time. Switched to an old putter I used about 12 years ago," the Australian said. "I changed swing coaches in the middle of the season, so Ive actually probably put more work in through the summer than I normally would. The changes are starting to click." Senio Kelemete Jersey .

INDIANAPOLIS -- Paul George spent much of Friday worried about whether hed be suspended for Game 7 against Atlanta. Not a chance. Less than an hour after wrapping up practice, an NBA spokesman confirmed in an email to The Associated Press that league officials reviewed the tapes from Thursday nights altercation and determined none of the players who stepped onto the court would be punished for the decisive game of this first-round series. It was no surprise to the Pacers. "Were planning for him to be here until were told hes not going to be in there," coach Frank Vogel said shortly before the decision was made public. "I think he stayed in the vicinity of the bench." Players who leave the "vicinity" of the bench during a fracas can be suspended under league rules. Few, including Stu Jackson, the leagues former disciplinarian, expected that to happen with George, who took two slow, short steps onto the court before he was pushed back by assistant coach Popeye Jones. Jackson wrote on Twitter that he didnt expect the league to suspend George, Indianas best player and an All-Star starter. Losing George would have been a major blow to the Pacers comeback hopes. George has topped 20 points in all six games, has double-doubles in five of them and has been the one Pacers defender able to slow down quick, shifty Hawks guard Jeff Teague. And it was George and David West who saved the Pacers season with a late Thursday night in Atlanta, too. All the leagues best regular season home team must do now to reach the second round and avoid the distinction of becoming the sixth No. 1 seed in league history to be eliminated in the first round is protect its home court. Lately, thats been a problem. "My thing is that three of the last four times weve played these guys (in Indy), they built 20-point leads and beat us pretty good," Vogel said. "So I dont think anyone from this team can thinnk were going to be OK just because were back home.dddddddddddd." The eighth-seeded Hawks understand. They had a chance to wrap up the best-of-seven series at home and rallied from a nine-point deficit in the third quarter to take a five-point lead late in the fourth. Yet they still lost. "Weve responded well all year when weve been in difficult situations," coach Mike Budenholzer said Friday. "Part of our response is going to have to be better execution. I think we have a lot of positive reference points from all year. Our group has been very good and very resilient. I have a lot of confidence in our group." But this is going to be different. The Pacers, who spent all season chasing the Eastern Conferences top seed, expect a raucous crowd for the first Game 7 to be played at home in the franchises NBA history. Plus, they appeared to find a defensive solution to Atlantas spread offence by going small in Game 6. The Hawks, meanwhile, have only a day to adjust to Vogels new rotations and are on their own historic quest. A win Saturday would give Atlanta the distinction of having the fewest regular-season wins (38) of any second-round team since Detroits 36-win team beat Milwaukee in the first round of the 1976 playoffs, according to STATS. "Weve won on that floor before, so we know we can do it," Teague said. "We just have to go out there and do what we do and play our style of basketball, and it will take care of itself." George has plenty of motivation after a stressful week that included ceding home-court advantage for the second time in the series, losing his 2014 All-Star ring in a burglary that took place while he was playing Game 5, two elimination games and speculation that his 24th birthday celebration might be marred by the announcement of a one-game suspension. Theres only one thing that really would help him relax -- getting a second straight win and setting up Jerseys NFL China Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys From China Cheap MLB Jerseys Wholesale China Jerseys NFL Jerseys China Discount Soccer Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys China China NCAA Jerseys Cheap Cheap Nike Dolphins Jerseys Cheap Nike Patriots Jerseys Cheap Nike Jets Jerseys Cheap Nike Bengals Jerseys Cheap Nike Browns Jerseys Cheap Nike Steelers Jerseys Cheap Nike Texans Jerseys Cheap Nike Colts Jerseys Cheap Nike Jaguars Jerseys Cheap Nike Titans Jerseys Cheap Nike Broncos Jerseys ' ' '
