PORTLAND, Ore. -- Defending champion Brooke Henderson shot a 7-under 65 on Thursday to take a two-stroke lead after the opening round of the LPGA Cambia Portland Classic on Thursday.Picking up where she left off from a year ago, when she shot a 21-under 267 to win her first LPGA tournament, Henderson, 18, hit 16 greens and made nine birdies on a warm, cloudless day at the 6,476-yard Columbia Edgewater course.Henderson said a combination of factors allows her to feel at home at Columbia Edgewater.I love tree-lined courses, and thats very much what this course is, Henderson said. With the bent grass, which is kind of what I grew up on, I really like it. It suits my eye. Then winning here, that gives me those extra vibes and adrenaline, which I think will help as the week goes on. This golf course, being out here in the Northwest, in the beautiful temperature, I like wearing long sleeves and pants.Angela Stanford, Demi Runas and Mariajo Uribe each shot 67 to trail Henderson.Runas, whose best career finish is a tie for 25th, and Uribe are looking for their first LPGA victories. Stanford lost in a playoff in the 2003 U.S. Womens Open at Pumpkin Ridge, which has previously played host to the Portland Classic. Uribe and Stanford shot bogey-free rounds.Stanford, who tied for fourth last week in Arkansas, is somewhat of a surprise among the leaders. She hasnt had much success at the Portland Classic, her best finish a tie for eighth in 12 tries.Poana greens are usually not very friendly to me. Its nice to watch the ball go in the hole here. I havent always played well here, so I tried to just put that on the back burner and see if I could carry it over from last week, and it did, Stanford said.Carlota Ciganda, Jaye Marie Green, Ayako Uehara and Daniela Iacobelli shot 68. Four strokes back at 69 are No. 18 Suzann Pettersen, Sarah Jane Smith, Lee-Anne Pace, Briana Mao and Jiayi Zhou.Pettersen is a two-time Portland winner, claiming the 2011 and 2013 tournaments.No. 15 Anna Nordqvist is among 12 players at 70. No. 9 Stacy Lewis shot even-par 72, as did Austin Ernst, the 2014 Portland champion.Henderson, starting early in the morning on the back nine, was only 1-under through seven holes. But she birdied three of the next four holes, then finished on fire while playing the front nine, making consecutive birdies on holes 5 through 8. Henderson just missed a fifth consecutive birdie, sliding a 15-foot putt past the left side of the hole at the par-4 ninth.It was a bogey at the par-4, 391-yard fourth that helped ignite Hendersons string of four consecutive birdies.That was a dumb hole ... a hole with my length I could have taken advantage of, Henderson said. The bogey bothered me a little. I knew I had two par-5s coming up, so I tried to focus on them.In her last six rounds at Columbia-Edgewater, counting last years Monday qualifier, Henderson is 32-under par, all six rounds in the 60s.Last year, Henderson won the Portland Classic by eight strokes, becoming the third-youngest champion in LPGA Tour history. Since winning her maiden event, Henderson has soared to become No. 2 ranked, and two weeks ago won the Womens PGA Championship.Henderson is attempting to become Portlands first back-to-back champion since Annika Sorenstam won the 2002 and 2003 tournaments.The Portland Classic is normally played in late August, but moved up because the LPGA is taking three weeks off for the Olympics. The Portland stop is typically popular among the tours best players, but with the U.S. Open scheduled for next week in California, only 13 of the worlds top 50 entered this year.The Portland Classic is the LPGA Tours longest-running non-major, now in its 45th year. The purse is $1.3 million, with $195,000 going to the winner. Avalanche Jerseys From China . Newcastle dominated in the early stages but City weathered the storm and then raised its game in extra time. Negredo broke the deadlock from close range after a simple move in the 99th minute before Dzeko took the ball round goalkeeper Tim Krul to seal the victory in the 105th. Sven Andrighetto Jersey . McCarthy, a player who played some games in the second tier for Wigan at the start of this season, would go on to shine inside Evertons midfield, outplaying the man he was brought in to replace, on one of the grandest stages in English football. On Saturday, it was fitting that Manchester Uniteds most recent dagger into the chest was delivered by Frenchman Yohan Cabaye, a wonderfully gifted central midfielder who put on an outstanding effort for Newcastle at Old Trafford. http://www.cheapavalanchechinajerseys.com/adam-foote-jersey/ . The Vikings announced Thursday that Priefer will be one of seven holdovers from the previous staff, along with offensive line coach Jeff Davidson, wide receivers coach George Stewart and others.

RENTON, Wash. --?Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman confirmed Thursday that he was fined $9,115 for his hit on Buffalo Bills kicker Dan Carpenter.He said he will not appeal the fine.They made sure that they made it unappealable because they said they cant hear the whistle on the film, Sherman said. And they said I hit him after the whistle, which was not true, but you cant really appeal something thats he said/she said.The play occurred at the end of the first half Monday night. Sherman was flagged for jumping offside on the play.Sherman said he was trying to block the kick. He got his hand on the football but also took Carpenter out on the play. NFL senior vice president of officiating Dean Blandino said Sherman should have been penalized for unnecessary roughness, but the officials did not flag him during the game.People dont understand free-play rules, Sherman said Thursday. The only reason people understand them to any degree is because theres so many of them nowadays, especially with A-Rod [Aaron Rodgers] and things like that. They dont realize that the plays arent called dead until the ref calls it dead. And usually when a quarterback sees a rusher coming, they spike the ball, and the plays over. Thats usually how it goes.If nobody is coming, they get a free play, they take a shot aat the end zone.dddddddddddd Weve won games like that. Weve thrown touchdown passes. But when the other team keeps playing, then you keep playing. There was no whistle. Both teams kept playing, and I guess this is the result of when you keep playing.Sherman said he has no plans to go through the NFLPA to appeal the fine.Itd be a long, thoughtless process, he said. Their logic is impeccable, so theres not really a fight, but Im fine with everything.He added that he didnt think a lower-profile player or a lower-profile game would have generated such attention or drawn a fine.The league responds to public pressure on a number of issues, and theyve shown the ability to fold under public pressure, he said. This is just another one of those opportunities. The public sees things in slow-motion, super slow-motion, so the league feels a reason to try to justify things.Thats the way of our league. It just shows you. They may find new ways to surprise you.The play led Carpenters wife, Kaela, to suggest on Twitter that Sherman should be castrated. She later apologized.On Wednesday, Sherman called Kaela Carpenters apology B.S. and said he was not surprised by her initial comments. ' ' '
