    RIO DE JANEIRO -- Inbee Park was in the 16th fairway, only 50 yards from the hole, and couldnt imagine a worse spot to be. [b]Nike Shox Sale[/b] .She already had lost a three-shot lead in gusts up to 30 mph Friday at Olympic Golf Course. And now she faced a shot that would punish anything just a little long or a little left. The safe play was the middle of the green and get out of there with a par.Park had other ideas.She took two months off from golf to get ready for the Olympics, and it was time to trust her instincts.Luckily, I had an uphill lie, she said. I said, `Im just going to go for this pin. I have confidence that I can stop it if I hit the distance. I played aggressive golf there, and it really worked good.Starting with that pitch to tap-in range, she birdied two straight holes and shot a 1-under 70 to take a two-shot lead into the final round.Now comes the real test.Just as difficult as the wind was seeing the name of Lydia Ko -- the No. 1 player in womens golf -- right behind her.Ko made the first hole-in-one of her career as she raced into contention with a 65, closing the gap to two shots. The 19-year-old Kiwi started the day seven shots behind and now has a solid chance at gold.We all know theres a lot on the line at the end of tomorrow, Ko said. I think Ive done a good job of putting myself in there and still having the chance to be standing on that podium.Gerina Piller, the American who narrowly qualified for the Olympics in her final event, shot a 68 and joined them in the final group, two shots behind. Piller has never won on the LPGA Tour, though there is something about playing for her country that brings out her best golf. Pillers signature moment was making the winning putt for the United States in the Solheim Cup last year in Germany.I feel like I have a chance at this, she said. Im going to try to do the best I can and represent my country with class.Shanshan Feng of China shot 68 and was three shots back.Starting times have been moved up with play starting on the first and 10th tees because of more rugged conditions in the forecast.Park was still the player to beat.The 28-year-old South Korean finally got her putter going, and shes among the best in womens golf on the greens. Her struggles were with the longer clubs, especially as the wind became fierce. Park tried to play short on the par-4 12th into the wind and hit into the sandy native area. On the par-3 14th, her hybrid went well over the green into more trouble, and she lost her lead.Those two late birdies helped alleviate one final mistake. On the par-5 closing hole, Parks tee shot found a bunker and it took three more shots to reach the green. She made one last bogey and was at 11-under 202.I feel I hung in there, and Im very happy I have a chance tomorrow, Park said. It was hard to judge the distance, and on the green it was hard to concentrate because the ball was oscillating. Im pretty exhausted.Charley Hull of Britain fell out of the chasing pack by missing three par putts inside 5 feet on the back nine. She shot 74 and was six shots behind. Brooke Henderson of Canada, the No. 2 player in womens golf, struggled even more. Henderson was still in the mix when she four-putted for double bogey on the 16th hole, taking three of those putts from 3 feet. She wound up with a 75 and was seven back.Ko is right where she wants to be and is the most seasoned of those going after the gold medal, the first for womens golf since 1900. She is a four-time winner on the LPGA Tour this year, the best player in womens golf and finally got some confidence in her putter.She used a 7-iron for her hole-in-one on the par-3 eighth hole -- the second of the day after Lin Xiyu of China made an ace on that hole -- as the highlight of a front nine in which she shot 29. Ko was stunned to hear the cheering when it dropped in.I made my first ever hole-in-one, so to do that at the Olympics, it doesnt get any better than that, Ko said. But to put myself back into good position going into tomorrow I think was a job well done going forward.Stacy Lewis went backward. The American, who began the day one shot behind, made a bogey on the easy par-5 fifth by hitting into the water, and closed out her round with a double bogey on the 18th when her third shot sailed long into the native area, and she chipped back over the green. She shot 76. [b]Nike Shox Nz[/b]. LOUIS -- St. [b]Nike Shox Shoes Outlet[/b] .

Though he led the Canucks to what was then a franchise record-shattering campaign in just his second season, Nonis was gone and replaced one year later. KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart?will retire next summer after a tumultuous tenure that included consolidation of the mens and womens athletic departments, improvements in facilities and the settlement of a Title IX lawsuit.Harts announcement comes less than two months after Tennessee reached a $2.48 million settlement in a Title IX lawsuit regarding its handling of assault complaints against athletes and three months after chancellor Jimmy Cheek said he also was stepping down to return to teaching.As I thought about finishing this job well and how extremely proud I am of what everyone in our department has contributed collectively to get us to where we are today, I decided that this was a good time to set a target to wrap up my career as a Director of Athletics, Hart, 67, said Thursday in a university statement.He said the school would choose a new chancellor soon, and this decision will allow that individual to select his or her own person to this leadership role and allow me to lead us through what promises to be a very exciting upcoming year in many respects.Harts tenure at Tennessee began in September 2011 and featured major increases in fundraising, improvements in academic performance and several lawsuits.Under Harts guidance, and with help from the launch of the SEC Network, Tennessees athletic department posted a surplus of $13.1 million in 2014-15 after facing a deficit of $3.98 million in 2011-12. Tennessee student-athletes overall have posted grade point averages of 3.0 or better for five consecutive semesters.Dave has worked with our coaches to make us nationally competitive, Cheek said in a statement. He has focused on compliance and doing things the right way in the class room and on the field. His work and determination have put UT sports in a strong position for the future.Harts notable coaching hires had mixed results. Butch Jones has stabilized the football program and womens basketball coach Holly Warlick has reached three regional finals in four years since taking over for Pat Summitt, who stepped down in 2012 after winning eight national titles.But his hire of mens basketball coach Donnie Tyndall backfired. Tyndall was fired after only one season due to the likelihood the NCAA would determine he had committed major violations during his Southern Mississippi tenure. Hart hired Rick Barnes as Tyndalls replacement.Harts tenure featured a number of lawsuits as well as a branding decision that received criticism.Eight unidentified women sued Tennessee in February and said the school created a hostile sexual environmentt through a policy of indifference toward assault complaints against athletes. [b]Nike Shox Clearance[/b]. As part of a settlement reached in July, Tennessee is announcing a series of initiatives to improve its Title IX efforts and is appointing an independent commission to review the schools existing programs and make recommendations regarding sexual assault and misconduct. Hart said recently in an interview with The Associated Press that it only enhanced and increased our collective desire to be a national leader in that regard.Tennessee also faced two gender-equity lawsuits during Harts tenure.Former Tennessee associate director of sports medicine Jenny Moshak and two ex-Lady Volunteers strength coaches filed a suit in 2012 that said they received less compensation than employees holding similar positions and performing comparable tasks for mens teams. The plaintiffs said the discrepancy resulted from their gender or their affiliation with womens teams. The two sides reached a $750,000 settlement in January, though the costs were over $1 million once attorneys fees were included.Former Lady Vols media director Debby Jennings sued the university as well as Hart while arguing that age and sex discrimination led to her forced retirement from the school where she had worked for 35 years. Jennings and the school reached a $320,000 settlement in October 2014.Tennessee announced in November 2014 that all its womens sports teams other than the basketball squad would be called the Volunteers, and the move took effect in July 2015. School officials said the basketball team could continue calling itself the Lady Vols because of the championship legacy established by Summitt.Angry fans launched a petition drive and rallied outside a board of trustees meeting to preserve the Lady Vols nickname for all womens sports. A state representative announced he would introduce legislation requiring Tennessee to refer to all of its womens sports teams as the Lady Vols. The legislation was dropped after school officials announced all womens sports teams other than the basketball squad would wear a commemorative patch honoring the Lady Vols legacy during the 2016-17 school year.Hart said he plans to remain active even after his retirement takes effect next summer.There will be another challenge out there, Hart said. I plan to continue to assist and inspire people in some manner moving forward. Right now, I am excited about what this year has in store for us on Rocky Top.
