DALY CITY, Calif. (AP) Former No. 1 Lydia Ko moved into position for her first win in nearly two years, shooting a 5-under 67 at Lake Merced on Saturday for a one-shot lead over Jessica Korda at the LPGA MEDIHEAL Championship.


Ko has two previous victories at Lake Merced among her 14 wins overall, but she hasn’t won since July 2016 and has changed instructors twice since then, along with switching caddies and equipment.


The 22-year-old from New Zealand hit 14 greens in regulation to match the low round of the day in cool and breezy conditions just outside San Francisco. Her three-day total of 11-under 205 was enough to overtake Korda, who shot 71. Minjee Lee (68) was three shots back.




Ko followed up her lone bogey by holing a bunker shot for birdie on the par-4 11th. She got up-and-down from a greenside bunker for birdie on the par-5 15th and made a 12-footer with about 3 feet of break that fell in the side of the hole on No. 16.

https://livevsongame-tv.com/nfl/live-update-nfl-suspends-49ers-linebacker-reuben-foster-2-games/22204/html [ad_1] SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) San Francisco 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster has been suspended without pay for the first two games of the regular season for violating the NFL’s conduct and substance-abuse policy. The NFL said Tuesday that Foster will also be fined for violations from a weapons offense and misdemeanor drug charge that were resolved earlier this offseason. Foster says he accepts the league’s decision and apologized for hurting the team. Foster will miss San Francisco’s games against Minnesota and Detroit before being allowed to return on Sept. 17 before the Niners play Kansas City. — More AP NFL: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL [ad_2] Source by [Anando] https://livevsongame-tv.com/nfl/live-update-nfl-suspends-49ers-linebacker-reuben-foster-2-games/22204/html

https://livevsongame-tv.com/nfl/live-update-the-10-best-returning-players-in-the-fcs/22200/html [ad_1] (STATS) – The best players not only win games, but they help their teammates reach a higher level as well. It’s not surprising a ranking of the 10 top returning players in the FCS are members of some of the best programs. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so one person’s No. 1 could be someone else’s No. 3 or 4, and one’s No. 11 might crack another’s top 10. The truth is, however, you want any of these players on your favorite team. 10. Chandler Burks , Kennesaw State, QB, Sr., 5-foot-10, 187 pounds Burks was at the controls of the FCS’ No. 1-ranked rushing offense, becoming the first Big South quarterback to surpass 1,000 rushing yards (1,103) and 1,000 passing yards (1,307). The Big South offensive player of the year led the third-year program to a 12-game winning streak. 9. Marlon Bridges , Jacksonville State, FS, Jr., 6-0, 200 ...

(AP) — The NFL has suspended Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones for the first two games of the 2018 season without pay for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. Jones will miss the season opener against the Chicago Bears on Sept. 9 and the Week 2 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, with both games at Lambeau Field. He will be eligible to return to the roster on Sept. 17, the day after the Vikings game. The discipline stems from a traffic stop in Brown County, Wisconsin, on Oct. 1, 2017, in which Jones was charged with operating a vehicle with a controlled substance in his system; speeding; and operating a vehicle without a valid license. The case came to light after he entered a plea of not guilty on Nov. 15. The case was resolved in February with Jones pleading no contest to the first charge. He was ordered to pay mor...
