PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas -- Jessica Korda laughed about her winning up-and-down and being sprayed with shaving cream. She choked up, too, thinking about her cancer-stricken coach. The 20-year-old Korda won the season-opening Bahamas LPGA Classic on Sunday for her second tour title, holing a 6-foot birdie putt on the final hole to beat Stacy Lewis by a stroke. Korda recently started working again with Grant Price after struggling with a swing she felt led to left shoulder and wrist injuries. "Grant means so much to me," Korda said. "Hes so positive, and thats really kind of shown. Its given me a lot of confidence this week. His positivity, and hes like, Youre going to be ready for this week. Youre going to be ready for this week. ... Him being on the range and constantly kind of encouraging the positive in me, into my mind, it helped me so much." Price, Hall of Famer Nick Prices nephew, is fighting testicular cancer. "Ive known Grant since I was 15 years old, so I know how it is and whats going on," Korda said. "But first thing I did, and I asked him, I was like, Can you help me? And if you cant, its completely OK. Like, If you dont feel up to it, then its fine. Like, I dont mind, but I need to know if youre going to be OK first. And thats how every practice started." Korda closed with a 7-under 66 for a 19-under 273 total at Atlantis Resorts Ocean Club. The third-ranked Lewis parred the final four holes -- two of them par 5s -- for a 66. "I only birdied the 18th hole once this week and that made the difference," Lewis said. "Three of the four days I went over the green to the same place, so obviously that wasnt the place to be. But you are not doing a lot wrong if you a finish second. And thats what Ill take away from this week." Korda tied Lewis for the lead with a 12-foot birdie putt on the par-3 17th, then got up-and-down for birdie on the par-5 18th. Kordas 4-iron approach on 18 scampered through the green and up against the grandstand. She took relief from the grandstand and, with an official and a TV announcer holding up cords that would have interfered with her stroke, putted under the wires to set up the winning birdie. "That was different," Korda said. "It was like jump rope. ... It was like Double Dutch. I was jumping over wires with people holding onto them. It was really funny." She passed on a drop that would have moved her away from the cables. "It wasnt a hard decision at all," Korda said. "I felt I had a good lie there. It looked too difficult on either side, so I just stayed right where I was. I remember when I had the pleasure of playing with Jack Nicklaus, he told me a bad putt is always better than a bad chip." After the winning putt, she was sprayed with shaving cream -- courtesy of tournament sponsor Pure Silk. "I smell really good. It smells really good," said Korda, whose father, Petr, won the 1998 Australian Open tennis tournament and mother, Regina Raichrtova, also played pro tennis. Korda earned $195,000 and is projected to jump from 40th to 26th in the world ranking. She also won the 2012 Womens Australian Open in the first event of the season. "Its unbelievable," Korda said. "I dont know, maybe I pay attention more to detail, and Im more relaxed out here. But whatever it is, I need to figure it out and do it more often." Lewis birdied six of the first eight holes, then dropped a stroke on the par-4 ninth. She birdied the par-5 11th and par-4 14th to reach 18 under, but closed with four straight pars. On 18, her flop shot came up short and her 15-foot birdie try stopped inches from the cup. "Its very frustrating," Lewis said. "The 18th hole has gotten me the last couple tournaments." Paula Creamer, paired with Korda all four days, had a 69 to tie for third with Na Yeon Choi, Lizette Salas and Pornanong Phatlum at 16 under. Phatlum finished with a 67, Salas had a 71, and Choi shot 72. Lydia Ko, the 16-year-old New Zealander making her first start as an LPGA Tour member, had a 68 to tie for seventh at 15 under. She won the Canadian Womens Open the last two years as an amateur. Cheap White Jordan 1 .C. -- After turning Tobacco Road into "Raleigh Top," Tennessee is headed to the round of 16.

Andre Miller, the oldest player on the team, showed his teammates how its done. Miller scored nine of his season-high 15 points in the fourth period and the Nuggets defeated the winless Utah Jazz 100-81 on Monday night. "Weve been struggling, just like the Jazz," the 37-year-old point guard said. "But we talked about just taking one quarter at a time. We remembered that tonight and held them down in the fourth quarter and closed it out." Ty Lawson had 17 points and Kenneth Faried added 15 points and 13 rebounds for the Nuggets, who outscored the Jazz 30-13 in a dominant fourth quarter. "Andre stepped it up, like hes been doing for years," Lawson said. "He was getting mismatches, even taking on bigs. He knows how to orchestrate the offence. He was getting himself a good shot or he was kicking it out to one of us for a good shot." Utah dropped to 0-8 and remained the only team in the NBA without a victory. Miller hit a 3-pointer -- he hasnt missed in four attempts this season -- and Faried added an emphatic dunk to power a 10-1 run that gave Denver an 82-74 lead with 7:13 to play. "When things get tough, you just need to start working harder. We finally found a rhythm somehow," Miller said. John Lucas III drove for a layup but Miller responded with a pair of nifty baskets in the lane, and the Jazz couldnt get within nine the rest of the way. "The fourth quarter has been our Achilles heel," said Lawson, who also had 10 assists. "We have been letting other teams do what they want. We have turnovers and give up offensive rebounds. Tonight we took it to them and got the crowd out of the game." Gordon Hayward had 22 points but didnt score in the final period. Derrick Favors added 21 points and 13 rebounds for the Jazz, who extended their worst start to a season since moving to Utah in 1979. "This is the NBA. We cant look for excuses. Its not going to get any easier," coach Ty Corbin said after his team played its seventh game in 10 days. The Nuggets had the fourth-best record (57-25) in the NBA last season, but a fourth straight first-round playoff exit ushered in new coach Brian Shaw after George Karl was fired.dddddddddddd. Weary of Denvers lethargic play this season, Shaw threatened to sit any of his players who fail to give maximum effort. The Nuggets responded with their finest quarter of the season in the fourth, even without starting centre JaVale McGee, who has a stress fracture in his leg. Shaw liked what he saw. "Defensively, we contested their shots. We scored on the offensive end in the fourth quarter probably for the first time all year, and we had them struggling to score points," he said. Fighting a bad hamstring, Faried looked to be his lively self until he got hit in the throat during a mad scramble for the ball in the fourth. He put his head in a towel and ran to the locker room. He later returned to the arena, but the Nuggets were already coasting to their first road win. "He played with a lot of energy, hit the boards, scored with a nice shooting touch when he got the ball inside," Shaw said. Denver outrebounded the Jazz 52-35 and outmuscled their big frontline, outscoring Utah 48-36 in the paint. Behind Haywards 18 points in the first half, the Jazz led by as many as 10 before Denver erased the deficit and pulled ahead 46-45 at the break. In the fourth quarter the Jazz missed layups, let balls go through their legs and got lost on defensive rotations -- all reasons the team has yet to win a game. Utah shot 4 for 18 in the final period. "Too many turnovers, too many offensive rebounds, wide-open layups. Yeah, Id say a lot went wrong," Hayward said. The Jazz have a number of issues but foremost is their poor shooting -- a league-worst 40 per cent from the field and 23 per cent on 3-pointers. Utah went 4 for 17 from beyond the arc against Denver.
