MOBILE, Ala. -- Jennifer Johnson got a hug and congratulations from the defending Mobile Bay LPGA Classic champion before it even sunk in Sunday that she had won her first tour title. "It was fun there at the end, because Jennifer was making putts and I dont think she realized what she was doing," said Stacy Lewis, her playing partner. "I told her when I hugged her, I think you just won yourself a golf tournament. And shes kind of like, What? It was really cute." Johnsons game was better than cute. The 21-year-old Californian closed with her second straight 7-under 65 for a tournament-record 21-under 267 total on The Crossings course at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trails Magnolia Grove complex. She birdied four of the final six holes for a one-stroke victory over Jessica Korda and Pornanong Phatlum. A 15-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole secured the win, and not long after Lewis passed the torch from her 2012 victory. "Before I hit my birdie putt on 17, I saw that Pornanong was tied with me at 20 and I didnt want a playoff so I was like, Im going to make this thing," Johnson said. The former Arizona State star two-putted for par on the final hole, tipped her cap and headed toward the practice range to hit a few balls in case of a playoff. But Phatlum was already done and the lead was safe even with Kordas closing birdie. Phatlum, a 23-year-old from Thailand, closed with a 63. Her previous best finish was third at the Kia Classic. Johnson had only one previous top-10 finish, an eighth-place tie at the 2011 Navistar LPGA Classic in Prattville, Ala. This time she got a win along with a hug and a "Good job, champ" from her father, Mike. "Im a little shocked," Johnson said. "I didnt even realize I shot 65. The whole back nine, I dont know what was happening. "The birdie putt on 17, thats when I started thinking a little more about winning the tournament. A little bit on the front nine, but you cant afford to think about that." She went home after missing her second cut of the year at the Kingsmill Championship and switched to what she calls her "spaceship putter" because of its appearance. Johnson aid that part of her game had been her Achilles heel. "I hit the ball really well. It was like when I missed the cut I felt like I should be playing," she said. "And I went and saw my coach right away in Florida and worked some things out, I put the spaceship putter in the bag and now the putts are going in." Johnson made the winning point in the 2010 Curtis Cup and was 3-0-1. She improved 19 strokes from her 45th-place tie in Mobile last year. Between this win and Prattville, shes thinking maybe the cuisine deserves some credit. "I think the barbecue has something to do with it because Im a real foodie and like when I eat good, Im happy," Johnson said. "And in both these locations Ive been eating barbecue and good tea and pudding and that has a lot to do with my mindset more than I think." Phatlum three-putted the opening hole for bogey for the third straight day, but rebounded nicely. "I just concentrate on my game and do what I have to do and try my best," Phatlum said. "Putting very good today, so like I just didnt have pressure on myself." Korda finished with a 68 that included three bogeys and seven birdies. Five players finished two strokes back, including Hall of Famer Karrie Webb and third-round leader Chella Choi, a South Korean who was seeking her first win. Swede Anna Nordqvist followed up a course-record 61 with a 69. South Koreas Jiyai Shin shot a 63 and birdied the final three holes, while Thailands Ariya Jutanugarn had a 65 to join the group at 19 under.Wholesale Custom Mets Shirts .

With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. Cheap Mets Jerseys .J. -- Pitcher Carl Pavano is retiring after 14 major league seasons.The 227th edition of the Merseyside Derby has Liverpool looking to extend their mastery of Everton but also staying within touching distance of rampaging Chelsea as the two sides meet at Goodison Park on Monday.Liverpool (10-4-2) moved into second ahead of Arsenal on goal scored heading into this weekends match day courtesy their 3-0 victory at Middlesbrough on Wednesday. Divock Origi continued his blistering form with a goal for the fifth straight game, bracketed by goals from Adam Lallana on either side of halftime.Derby weekend, however, is an entirely different kind of animal, and one Liverpool have been dominating of late.The Reds carry a 12-match unbeaten streak (5-7-0) in all competitions against their eternal rivals into this contest and have dropped just one of the last 19 in league play (9-9-1) in this fierce rivalry. It is also the longest active contested derby in the top flight dating back to the 1962-63 season.For Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, this will be his first short trip to the blue side of Liverpool, where Toffees supporters will try to make Goodison Park a cauldron similar to Anfield. Klopp, who watched his team dismantle Everton 4-0 at Anfield last season as the Toffees were locked in a death spiral under Roberto Martinez, is excited for the experience.Very, very, very, very big, Klopp said Friday when asked how big the game is. The good thing around the derby is that I dont have to say a lot because everybody knows what it is. For me its pretty special because its my first time at Goodison Park.I like how Liverpool lives with this, the city, lives with these two big clubs. This is the game you want to have. How I said a few times -- football is not the most important thing in the world, but on Monday night Id say for 90 minutes in and around Liverpool, probably it is. So lets do our best.Klopp has also tried to put Liverpools goalkeeper controversy to rest by sticking with Simon Mignolet for the time being. Mignolet took over for the inconsistent Loris Karius against Middlesbrough and finished with his 50th clean sheet in all competitions for the Reds, but was barely tested aside from a shot by Viktor Fischer.I dont want to change each week -- that was not the plan. Simon had a really good game so he will be in goal, for sure, said Klopp, who has been in a war of words through the media with pundits Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher defending Karius.I tried to explain it after the game: it was not about pushing Loris through the situation. Now he can use the time in training and have no pressure, only the pressure he makes himself with getting better.Mignolet is 2-4-0 in six Merseyside derbys, conceding five goals and posting three clean sheets. He has recorded draws in all three appearances between the sticks at Everton, allowing four goals and making 13 saves. Mignolet made nine of those saves in a wild 3-3 draw in the 2013-14 campaign.Liverpools offence continues to hum without injured playmakers Philippe Coutinho and Daniel Sturridge, though there is a chance Sturridge could be available off the bench for this match. Emre Can also appears set to return after missing two contests with a knee injury suffered in practice, while Joel Matip is trying to be match fit as well.The Reds have a Premier League-best 40 goals, scoring two or more on 12 occasions, and it has been Origi and Lallana picking up the slack. Lallana has three goals in his last two games and six to go with a team-high six assists in league play.The manager wants fluidity throughout the team, Lallana told Liverpools official website. When youve got (Sadio) Mane, (Georgino) Wijnaldum making selfless runs … Firmino, Divock, (Jordan) Henderson and myself -- it is very fluid.Were still learning and were learning to play without Philippe. But the sooner we can have him back, the better.Its probably a good thing for Everton (6-5-5) that Coutinho will be a spectator given how he ran riot in the seconnd half of that 4-0 whitewashing last season.dddddddddddd. The Toffees played the final 40 minutes down a man after Ramiro Funes Mori was given a straight red card.But new manager Ronald Koeman has a chance to complete a big double at home this week as his side try to parlay the momentum of their 2-1 victory Wednesday over Arsenal into this match.Defender Ashley Williams headed home the winner from Ross Barkleys corner on 86 minutes as Everton took advantage of a refereeing error by Mark Clattenburg from a previous corner that generated the buildup for Williams decisive goal. It was also a deserved goal for a Toffees team that won for just the second time in their last 11 league matches (2-4-5).That was very satisfying, said Seamus Coleman, who scored the teams first goal, to evertontv. It was important that we put in a performance where afterwards we could go home and look in the mirror no matter what the result.It was the kind of effort the Toffees supporters have been longing for, their players getting stuck in and launching physical challenges with abandon. As Everton grew in the ascendancy, the fans responded in kind as the fervour reached a fever pitch that climaxed with Williams winner.For Koeman, who had called his team out for soft play during their periods of struggle, the effort was vindication as he also reintroduced Ross Barkley after the mercurial midfielder had been dropped for the Manchester United match and came off the bench last weekend versus Watford.This will be Koemans first taste of the Merseyside derby, but the Dutch boss has had his share of rivalry matches, both as a player for Barcelona in El Clasico versus Real Madrid and during coaching stints in the Netherlands. Hes eager to bring more happy moments for those in the Park End.These games between Everton and Liverpool are always about the derby mentality and the passion of the fans, he noted. We know its important to win the game to make the fans happy and proud of the team and its really nice to be part of this derby.If you go walking through Liverpool, the fans are talking about the game already. It makes it easy to motivate the players. Then it is a case of asking tactical questions of them and controlling emotions because that is always a big part of the game. You dont want to make stupid fouls or reactions and you want to keep all 11 players on the pitch.One player Koeman will not have available is Phil Jagielka, who will serve a red card ban for this match after picking up a second caution in stoppage time versus Arsenal. Funes Mori is the most likely candidate to team with Leighton Baines in central defence.Everton keeper Maarten Stekelenburg will be making his first derby appearance but carries an 0-1-3 lifetime mark against Liverpool. He was on the receiving end of a 6-1 thrashing in his most recent outing against them on Dec. 2, 2015, while playing a League Cup match for Southampton.Romelu Lukaku will try to rediscover his goal-scoring touch after being held off the scoresheet versus Arsenal. He has a team-leading nine goals in league play, but only three at home. The Belgium international has been a menace to Liverpool with four goals in five lifetime matches, including the equaliser in last seasons corresponding fixture.The last four matches at Goodison Park have ended in stalemates, with the last winning decision belonging to Liverpool in a 2-0 victory Oct. 1, 2011.Despite this being dubbed the friendly derby because supporters arent separated in the stands, the on-pitch tempers have flared constantly between the players. Moris sending off last season was the 21st red card between the teams in the Premier League era, far and away the most of any derby.Liverpool has won 89 derby matches compared to 66 for Everton, and the teams have split the points on 71 occasions.
