PITTSFORD, N. Dick Butkus Jersey .Y. -- Calm under the intense pressure of a playoff at a major, Inbee Park added another title to her impressive LPGA Tour resume. Park successfully defended her title in the LPGA Championship, beating Brittany Lincicome with a par on the first hole of a playoff Sunday to end the United States major streak at three. "I didnt feel that nervous at all today," said Park, also a playoff winner last year. "But once I got to the tee on the playoff hole, I just felt the nerves right away. It was like a replay of last year and experience definitely helped me out. I think I was able to stay calm." The victory came on a bittersweet day when the LPGA Tour bade farewell to the Rochester area after 38 years. Next year, the tour will team with the PGA of America to run the Womens PGA Championship. The 2015 event will be played at Westchester Country Club near New York City. Park, Nancy Lopez and Patty Sheehan are only players to win twice in a row in Rochester. "Just very happy to be part of history," Park said. Lincicome was poised to win her second major and keep that American streak alive, but her nerves got the best of her after she led all day. "Not being in this position for a while, I think it all caught up with me," Lincicome said. "Being second at a major is always a good thing. I feel like I played really, really well this week. If I keep playing the way I did, my times coming soon. It was nice to be in contention again." On the playoff hole on Monroe Golf Clubs par-4 18th, Park hit her second shot into the rough behind the hole. Lincicome hit her approach to the left fringe, nearly identical to her position on the final hole of regulation when she made a bogey to fall into the playoff. Lincicome chipped 6 feet past the hole and failed to convert for bogey. Park, the winner last year at Locust Hill on the third extra hole with Catriona Matthew, chipped to 3 feet and calmly sank her par putt for her fifth major title and fourth in the last two seasons. "Inbee is so darn good. It was so close," Lincicome said. "I need to learn how to control the nerves a little bit more." Park finished with a 2-under 70 to match Lincicome at 11-under 276. Lincicome had a 71. Americans had won the first three majors of the LPGA Tour season for the first time since 1999. Lexi Thompson began the run at Kraft Nabisco, Michelle Wie won the U.S. Womens Open and Mo Martin the Womens British Open. The 26-year-old Park, from South Korea, was coming off a playoff loss to Mirim Lee last week in Michigan. Park also won this season in Canada and has 11 LPGA Tour victories. Park is projected to jump from third to second in the world, passing 17-year-old Lydia Ko of New Zealand. Ko, trying to become the youngest major winner in LPGA history, shot a 70 to finish third at 8 under. Spains Azahara Munoz (70) and Swedens Anna Nordqvist (71) tied for fourth at 6 under. Lincicome squandered the lead on the final hole of regulation. She hit her second shot to the left fringe and was in a good spot, but a long delay for a ruling on a shot by Suzann Pettersen only heightened the tension, and it showed. With top-ranked Stacy Lewis among the gallery clapping, Lincicome left her first putt 8 feet short and failed to make par, forcing the playoff. "I was really nervous coming down the stretch. I was shaking like a leaf," Lincicome said. "Its hard to do anything when youre shaking." Pettersen, a two-time major winner, started the day a shot behind as she chased her first win this year. But her day went badly at the start and she shot 4-over 76. She tied for sixth at 5 under with Lewis, Julieta Granada, Shanshan Feng and Lee. Parks clutch birdie putt at No. 17 put her in position to challenge and her par save at 18 was crucial. Her approach on the closing hole landed in the rough to the right of the green and she botched her shot out. Her 12-foot putt left no margin for error and the crowd roared when it rolled in. Lincicome had held the 54-hole lead at a major only once before, at the 2006 U.S. Womens Open, but she faltered with a closing 78 and finished seventh. This time, she shook off the nerves until the end as the chance to win her second major ended in disappointment. Lincicome won the 2009 Kraft Nabisco. The tour made the switch this year to Monroe after 37 years at nearby Locust Hill. The Donald Ross-designed course is about 300 yards longer at 6,717 yards and does not have a single water hazard, but it does feature 106 bunkers, more than double the number at Locust Hill, and the wider fairways favoured long hitters. William Perry Jersey . The Spanish champions decision not to sign a defender during the January transfer window may have backfired after Valencia took advantage of a lethargic, uninspired effort by its hosts at the Camp Nou, where former Spain coach Luis Aragones -- who previously coached the Catalan side -- was honoured after his death on Saturday. Walter Payton Jersey . Felton was in court as the Manhattan district attorneys office outlined the agreement, which would resolve a gun case that arose amid the breakup of his marriage.

Again, I will say, we cant live a long way playing that way. Youre not going to outshoot everybody, there are going to be nights that balls not going to fall, but I did like our focus, I thought our energy was there, our rebounding was there, and thats all you can ask.Avery Bradley topped the Celtics (2-1) with 22 points, while Marcus Thornton had 19.Kelly Olynyk, who was born in Toronto and moved to Kamloops, B.C., when he was 12, had eight points for the Celtics. His Canadian teammates Joel Anthony of Montreal and rookie Dwight Powell of Toronto didnt play.The Raptors shot 50 per cent from the field, but allowed Boston to shoot 49 per cent, and they gave up 37 points to their visitors in the third quarter in front of 16,729 fans at Air Canada Centre.The Raptors trailed 93-87 going into the fourth quarter, but chipped away at the deficit. James Johnson cut the difference to two points — and provided one of the highlights of the night — when he soared in for a put-back on a Patterson miss with just over eight minutes to play.The Raptors kept their foot on the gas from that point on and when Lowry grabbed his own rebound and dribbled in for a nice floater, it put Toronto up 106-98 with about six minutes left. Gale Sayers Jersey. The Raptors dominated to the final whistle.Lowry looked in regular-season form down the stretch, and said its all about trying to get my rhythm.Its pre-season but were still trying to put our emphasis on games and trying to get our defensive identity and our intensity going and create good habits, he said.Casey was pleased with the performance of Patterson, who sat the first two games with a sore hand and sore knee.Huge, Casey said of his game. I thought he made one big bucket off the dribble, off the bounce that was huge. He gave us 20 minutes and 17 points, I thought that was big, but just his defensive energy with seven rebounds was huge. He brings a defensive presence and energy to the court that you cant really put a premium on.Boston coach Brad Stevens also lamented his teams lack of defensive effort.We gave up 60 in the first half, Stevens said. We went on a spurt in the third quarter where we played OK defensively but to their credit they spread us out and made plays. Were going to have to get a lot better.Torontos starters — Lowry, DeRozan, Terrence Ross, Johnson, and Valanciunas — played the majority of the first quarter, and took a 31-21 lead into the second, DeRozan leading the way with nine points.Bradley poured in 17 points in the second as the Raptors lead nearly vanished. Toronto was up 60-56 at halftime.Defence was virtually non-existent in the third as the Raptors allowed Boston to shoot 60 per cent from the field and take a nine-point lead with just under a minute left in the quarter.Ross, who injured his knee and ankle late in Torontos pre-season opener, returned after missing Torontos 113-106 loss at Sacramento on Tuesday. Greg Stiemsma, injured in practice Tuesday, didnt pass a baseline concussion exam Friday. Hell undergo another test Saturday.Lucas Nogueira, who has yet to play this season due to a groin strain, sat out the game.The Raptors are in New York to face the Knicks on Monday in the first of three straight on the road. They return to Toronto to host Maccabi Haifa on Oct. 22.The Raptors open the regular season at home to the Atlanta Hawks on Oct. 29.
