WELLINGTON, New Zealand -- Top-ranked amateur Lydia Ko has chosen an unusual method to announce her decision to turn professional at the age of 16 and after foregoing more than $1 million in potential prize money. wholesale nfl jerseys . Ko, ranked No. 4 in the world, chose not to hold a formal news conference but released a short, scripted video in which she debates the merits of turning professional with the All Blacks rugby player Israel Dagg. The video shows Dagg losing to Ko in a golf match, then telling her: "If you can beat me, then you can definitely handle the pressure of going pro. It must be time now." Ko nods and replies: "Okay, Ill do it ... right now, right this second." Ko alerted her Twitter followers to the video and her decision by posting "made a monumental decision today with a little help from my @AllBlacks friend @Izzy--Dagg #LOVEGolf." New Zealand Golf chief executive Dean Murphy said Ko "was reluctant to hold a traditional press conference" because she "didnt want to make a big fuss about news that had already been reported in the media in recent weeks." "This is a very momentous day for Lydia and we are so thrilled that she has chosen such a unique and entertaining way to share her news with her fans today," Murphy said. "She has also been very busy studying for exams and wanted to make this announcement in a different way." The LPGA Tour confirmed Oct. 10 that it received a petition from Ko asking that it waive its minimum age requirement of 18. Ko was born in South Korea but moved to New Zealand with her parents and took up golf aged five. She first took lessons at Aucklands Pupuke Golf Club from professional Guy Wilson, who has been her coach ever since. She was the worlds leading female amateur in 2011, 2012 and 2013 and became the youngest person, male or female, to win a professional tournament when she won the 2012 New South Wales Open at the age of 14. That record has since been broken. Ko was also the youngest winner of an LPGA tournament when, aged 15, she won the 2012 Canadian Open, a title she defended this year. She has yet to miss a cut in 23 professional tournaments. After finishing runnerup at the Evian Championships in France in July, Ko hinted that she would be turning professional but said she wished to complete exams before making any announcement. She is expected to play for the first time as a professional in the LPGAs season-ending event in Florida. Murphy said Kos career as an amateur "has been phenomenal." "Her amateur record ranks right up there among the greats of the game," Murphy said. "She has won four (tour) titles, claimed the U.S. and Australian Amateur titles, climbed to No.4 on the World Rankings and has been the World No. 1 amateur for more than two years without ever losing that title. "That is a record that is unlikely to be matched by a 16-year-old ever again." cheap jerseys .

On Tuesday night, he pitched seven solid innings and finally got his first victory as the Royals beat the Houston Astros 4-2. "Im just really proud for him because that was like his fifth time hes gone for his first win and hes had an opportunity to win ballgames two or three times and we couldnt hold it for him," Royals manager Ned Yost said.WASHINGTON -- Kevin Durant scored 44 points to lead Washingtons Goodman League to a thrilling 135-134 victory over the Drew League from Los Angeles on Saturday night. Locked-out NBA stars from both cities played in the game on the campus of Trinity University. The stands were packed beyond the listed 1,500 seat capacity and the crowd watched local hero Durant walk away with the games Most Valuable Player honours. The overflow crowd ringed the court while scores of local and national media lined the track above the court, basking in the hardwood contest for coastal supremacy, one that was more intense than even the players anticipated. "Yeah, it was," said Durant, who sank a pair of throws with 21 seconds to put Goodman up one point, then blocked his Oklahoma City Thunder teammate James Hardens baseline jumper at the buzzer. "It was fun though. We hadnt played together or anything, but in the end we came together." The most anticipated game of the summer, one trying to answer that age old question of which city balls best, might be the last time this many NBA players take to the same court at the same time in 2011. The Goodman side let a 16-point, third-quarter lead slip away and Hardens late three-pointer tied the game at 133-133. The lefty guard then sank one of two free throws with 29 seconds left to put Drew up one, before Durant reclaimed the lead. On the final possession, Brandon Jennings was matched up against former No. 1 pick John Wall of the Wizards, who scored six of the Goodman Leagues final eight points and dove head first into a group of photographers while going for a loose ball after sinking a jumper for that late three-point edge. Jennings, who led Drew with 34 points, settled for a long shot that missed. The rebound was corralled by Harden, who scored 29, along the left baseline with Durant in pursuit. Hardens game face was showing behind his full beard before the game, intensity that was not surprising considering the Los Angeles players paid their way to travel East. He said the battle to show which city has the best talent was "why we set this whole thing up. Both teams are going to play hard." Though his Thunder teammate was in the next stall of lockers over, Harden made it clear they were not teammates on this day. "I dont want to hear nothing abbout that Kevin Durant or Thunder up," he said. jerseys from china. "Were enemies." That was obvious in the final seconds as Durant swarmed Harden, forcing a double clutch shot that never reached its target as the long limbed forward from the D.C. suburbs got a piece of it. "It was a good battle, it was back and forth," said Denver Nuggets guard Ty Lawson, another D.C. area native. "The L.A. team came back, made a game of it. In the end KD made the free throws and made the right plays. So did John Wall." The dunking started off the opening tip and never let up, though defensive intensity existed throughout. Washington Wizards centre JaVale McGee won the initial jump ball and then flushed home an alley-oop for the Drew squad. Moments later his NBA teammate Wall set up Durant for a high-rising dunk. "Whenever you team up with the leading scorer in the NBA, its always going to be easy to find assists," said Wall, who finished with 28 points. San Antonio Spurs guard Gary Neal and Sacramento Kings centre DeMarcus Cousins were among the nine NBA players on the court late in the game, both playing for the Goodman League. McGee and Toronto Raptors forward DeMar DeRozan joined Jennings and Harden along with NBA veteran Marcus Banks. NBA players have been a part of summer league action for years, from the asphalt court in D.Cs Barry Farms to the indoor gym at the Drew League. This off-season the participation has been greater then in past years because of the work stoppage. "I would say so, a lot more guys are playing in the summer leagues, a lot veteran guys as well," Harden said. "Its a good thing to get everyone on the court at the same time." Wall has been a staple on the summer league and exhibition game circuit this summer, far more he said than if the off-season was of the normal kind. Happy to play in these games, sure, but Wall expressed his frustration over the labour standoff and for a very pure reason. "Everybody thinks its all about the money," he said. "Its not about the money. I just want to play basketball, I love to play basketball." That was evident from both the right and left coasters Saturday night, all of whom represented their leagues well. Right now, thats about all they can do. wholesale nfl jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
