EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France -- Going up against a seven-time major winner more than twice her age, it was teenager Hyo-Joo Kim who showed the calm nerves of a veteran. Marc Savard Jersey . Kim came from a shot back on the last hole to beat Australian great Karrie Webb by one shot on Sunday and win the Evian Championship, becoming the third youngest major winner at 19 years, 2 months. The South Korean trailed the 39-year-old Webb heading into the 18th but turned the tables with a birdie from 12 feet out. Webb then missed a chance to force a playoff when a difficult attempt for par from the same distance drifted left of the hole. I feel very happy, like a bird, Kim said through a translator. I want to fly in the sky. Kim led Webb by one shot overnight and they both posted 3-under rounds of 68 in perfect conditions, with no clouds or wind to disrupt them. She finished on 11-under 273 overall, having shot the lowest ever round in a major with a 61 on Thursday. Webb, meanwhile, was looking to win her eighth career major and first since Kraft Nabisco in 2006. I believe in fate a little bit, and I wasnt meant to win, Webb said. I hit a lot of good putts this week. Probably the one on the last was the poorest I hit all week. Only Morgan Pressel and Lexi Thompson -- both from the U.S. -- have won majors at a younger age than Kim, who is studying physical education in Seoul. She seemed to take it all in her stride. When Webbs putt rolled wide, Kim removed her glasses slowly and then walked up to give Webb a small hug. Her caddie, Gordon Rowan, said Kim didnt know shed won at first. I dont think she was aware of the real situation of the scores, Rowan said. I said Youve won. She said No, no, I havent, which was quite sweet. Kim and Rowan were paired randomly the last time she played Evian, tying for fourth in 2012 -- the final year before Evian became the fifth major. Its a partnership that has flourished since. My player at the time hadnt qualified, so I just offered my services, Rowan recalled. She was a young amateur, they were looking for a caddie. Webb finished ahead of three other South Koreans. Ha-Na Jang and Mi-Jung Hur were tied for third at 9 under, with Na-Yeon Choi in fifth another shot back. Defending champion Suzann Pettersen of Norway was one behind her. Choi birdied 12 and 14, but the U.S. Womens Open champion from 2012 dropped back when she bogeyed the 16th, and Webb was level with Kim with three to play. The shot of the day belonged to Japans Mika Miyazato: a hole in one on the 16th. Meanwhile, Michelle Wie, who pulled out during the first round because of a recurrence of her right index finger injury, won the inaugural Rolex Annika Major award. Named after retired Swedish great Annika Sorenstam, it honours the player with the best overall record in the five majors. Wie won the U.S. Womens Open and finished second at the Kraft Nabisco. Webb looked certain to clinch her 42nd LPGA title with two to play. Kims approach on the 16th almost rolled into the water, leaving her a difficult uphill par putt from the fringe, which she missed as Webb took the lead with a par from 4 feet. Webb missed a long birdie chance on the 17th and was way short, before a par from six feet. But that composure left her on the last, when her second shot went too long. About 30 feet from the pin, Webb chose to chip and almost made an improbable birdie as the ball rolled just past the hole, but then carried on downhill for about 12 feet. I dont know what hit me actually, Webb said. Just probably a rush of adrenaline. Kim punched the air after making her birdie. I was very nervous, she said It didnt show. The shot is definitely very mature, Webb said. I left the foot off the pedal a little bit. But she still had to make it. David Backes Jersey .ca! There is plenty of blame to be shared as a result of the most recent NHL player (Pittsburghs Brooks Orpik) to be evacuated from the ice on a stretcher following an ugly incident Saturday night in Boston.

On the eve of the 2013-14 NBA season, he can finally take a step back and allow his team to do the talking.St. Louis, MO (SportsNetwork.com) - Wichita State is no longer unbeaten, having fallen prey to a shocking upset. Andrew Harrison converted 3-of-4 foul shots down the stretch and Fred VanVleets contested 3-pointer fell short just prior to the buzzer, allowing Kentucky to reach the Sweet 16 by knocking off the Shockers, 78-76, in the third round of the NCAA Tournament. Harrison ended up with 20 points for the Wildcats (26-10), who advance to take on Louisville next Friday in Indianapolis in the Midwest Region semifinals. Aaron Harrison added 19 points, with James Young and Julius Randle contributing 13 apiece for the victors. Cleanthony Early totaled a game-high 31 points for the Shockers (35-1), who set an NCAA record for most wins in one season without suffering a loss, but ultimately failed in their bid to reach the Final Four for the second straight year. Ron Baker converted 4-of-6 shots from long range en route to 20 points, but VanVleet was held to four points on 1-of-6 shooting, including 0-for-4 from beyond the arc. A long two by Early put WSU up 71-70 with 2:16 remaining, but Young countered with a triple from the top of the key and Kentucky took a 73-71 edge on the next possession. A trey from Tekele Cotton then rolled in and out, and Andrew Harrison made two at the line with 42.6 showing for a four-point Wildcats spread. Baker hit a banked three from the left side to bring the Shockers within 75-74, before Randle drained both of his free throws to push his clubs edge back to three. Baker was called upon again from the left wing, but his next long-range attempt fell short. Early, however, was fouled on the offensive board and made two at the line with 9.8 to play for a 77-76 score. Andrew Harrison earned his second chance at the charity stripe, making the first and missing the second. Carl Soderberg Jersey. Early picked up the ball, flew up court and Wichita State called timeout with 3.2 seconds to go. VanVleet let fly from 25 feet away, but the shot was just off the mark, hitting the rim and backboard. Andrew Harrisons triple gave the Wildcats some separation prior to the midway point of the opening 20 minutes at 19-15, but the edge was short lived. Kentucky was forced to call a timeout after a runner from Early made it 30-23. Cotton began the eventual 17-4 surge with the first five, while VanVleet contributed all four of his points -- including two closing free throws -- for a 32-23 spread with 4:37 left in the half. Wichita State went to intermission ahead 37-31 after a triple by Jarrod Polson reduced Kentuckys gap. Earlys three to kick off the second half was countered by 10 in a row from Kentucky, which took a 41-40 lead after Alex Poythress converted a layup. Baker followed with six in a row on a trey and a three-point play and WSU held a 46-43 lead, then the Wildcats struck back for seven straight and Willie Cauley-Steins slam put them up 50-46. Momentum shifted once more, as the Shockers embarked on a 12-5 run ending just after the midway point of the half to take a 58-55 advantage on the second of Earlys back-to-back buckets. Wichita State held Kentucky at arms length until a roller from Young put the Wildcats up 70-69 with 2:49 to play. Game Notes These programs met for the first time on Sunday ...
