.Hendersons final two rounds became a collection o Antworten

PORTLAND, Ore. -- The Cambia Portland Classic has had a little bit of just about everything as the LPGAs longest-running non-major, but in its 45-year history hasnt seen a teenage winner quite like Brooke Henderson.The 18-year-old Canadian became Portlands first back-to-back champion in 13 years when Henderson shot a final round 1-under 71 to win by four strokes over American Stacy Lewis at Columbia Edgewater Country Club.The second-ranked Henderson posted a 14-under 274 for 72 holes, though it was a far different grind than her performance in 2015, when she won the Portland Classic by a record-setting eight strokes.Hendersons final two rounds became a collection of par saves after hitting many wayward drives and approach shots.I didnt really play my best today, but I hit good shots when I needed to, and I got some good breaks, Henderson said. A weird day of golf. I hit some really good shots and some really bad shots.Henderson became the first back-to-back winner at Portland since Annika Sorenstam won consecutive tournaments in 2002 and 2003. The 18-year-old is the first wire-to-wire winner at Portland since the tournament went to a 72-hole event in 2013.Henderson is the tours second wire-to-wire winner this year, joining Ha Na Jang, who won the Coates Championship in February.It was Hendersons third career win, all coming in the Northwest. Aside from her two Portland victories, Henderson won the Womens PGA Championship at Sahalee in Sammamish, Washington, three weeks ago.The three wins came in different fashion. Last years Portland win was a runaway, and at Sahalee, Henderson caught fire during the final round to rally past top-ranked Lydia Ko.Its cool to think Ive won in three different ways, Henderson said.Henderson heads to this weeks U.S. Womens Open at CordeValle in San Martin, California, having won two of her past four tournaments, including a major.Coming off a win here is really going to give me a lot of confidence, Henderson said.Lewis was 10-under after a final round 69, though she never genuinely threatened. Lewis is winless in 53 starts since taking the North Texas LPGA Shootout in June 2014 for her 11th tour victory. She has 11 runner-up finishes during the drought and 24 overall.Norways Suzann Pettersen, the 2011 and 2013 Portland champion finished third at 9-under after a 72.Austin Ernst, who won Portland in 2014, was 8-under after a 73. But Hendersons main opponent was Mariajo Uribe, who was tied for the lead with seven holes remaining but finished with two double bogeys. Uribe was 8-under after a 75.The whole week I didnt hit the ball great, and it I just couldnt do it the last couple holes, said Uribe, winless in six years on the LPGA Tour.Sunday turned into a two-player race early on the back nine, when Uribe birdied the par-4, 337-yard 11th to tie Henderson for the lead at 14-under.But Henderson quickly resumed control at the par-5, 546-yard 12th. Uribe hit a poor drive and made bogey, while Henderson dropped a three-foot birdie putt to take a two-shot lead.The lead melted to one at 13, when Hendersons tee shot at the 160-yard par-3 went into the bunker and she made bogey. Uribe fell two strokes back at the par-4, 372-yard 15th with a bogey.The par-4, 397-yard 17th became the tournaments decisive hole. Henderson and Uribe both drove into a bunker, then blasted their approach shots over the green. But Uribe hit her third shot 50 feet past the hole and made double bogey, while Henderson was able to get up and down to save par, making an eight-foot putt.Henderson said it was advantage to have Uribe hit her chip shot first, as both players were over the green and facing testing downhill shots.I was lucky. She was in the same situation ... I realized how fast it was and how delicate of a shot it needed to be, Henderson said.Lewis never got closer than three strokes, and might have put some pressure on Henderson but made bogeys at 16 and 18.Christina Kim posted the low score of the day with a 66 to finish 7-under, as did Lee-Anne Pace, Lee Lopez and Cheyenne Woods. Pace shot 68, while Woods had a 72 for her first career top 10. Lopez, an LPGA rookie, shot 73.Lewis never got closer than three strokes, and might have put some pressure on Henderson but made bogeys at 16 and 18.Sakura Yokomine (69), Vicky Hurst (71) and Carlota Cignada (73) were eight shots back at 6-under. In-Kyung Kim shot 69 to head a group of five at 5-under.American Morgan Pressel was 2-under after posting her best round of the week, a 67.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- After some serious debate about moving to a nine-game conference football schedule, ACC athletic directors voted Wednesday to maintain the status quo.The ACC will continue to play eight league games with a requirement for a ninth game against a Power 5 nonconference opponent, the league announced Wednesday. The decision will cost each school about $500,000 in television revenue, industry sources told ESPNs Brett McMurphy.With a new TV deal in place with ESPN and the launch of a new ACC Network in the works for 2019, the league expanded its conference schedule for basketball (from 18 to 20 games, starting in 2019), but a move toward more intraconference football games was hotly contested by several schools with annual rivalry games outside the league.The new ESPN deal gave the schools three options: increase the league schedule to nine games with one nonconference Power 5 opponent; play eight league games with two nonconference Power 5 opponents; or stay at eight league games with one nonconference Power 5 opponent. ACC schools would have received the full amount of the deal between ESPN and the ACC by choosing either of the first two options. But the schools instead chose to remain status quo despite the reduced revenue.Clemson athletic director Dan Radakovich staunchly supported the status quo on conference schedulling.dddddddddddd. While the league will miss out on network incentives, he said it wasnt a major issue.Those were big numbers, but when you break it down after shares and dividing the dollars within the league, it was not anything that moved the needle, he said.Florida State, Georgia Tech and Louisville also strongly opposed an expanded league schedule because it would limit flexibility to schedule other out-of-conference games beyond their annual rivalry contests against the SEC.ACC commissioner John Swofford said maintaining the status quo on scheduling was majority rule, and If you look at our football right now, its as strong or stronger than its ever been. ... Its working, and hopefully that can continue.Other schools favored expanding conference play in order to see cross-divisional opponents more often and to simplify nonconference scheduling. The Big Ten, Big 12 and Pac-12 all play nine conference games, while the ACCs regional rival, the SEC, has stayed at eight.NC State athletic director Debbie Yow said she voted for the 9+1 schedule.I like playing conference teams. Now we play Duke twice in 12 years, she said. Theres a problem with that.ESPN spokesperson Josh Krulewitz declined comment Wednesday. ' ' '
