PINEHURST, N. Adidas Ultra Boost Kopen .C. -- Lucy Li made two double bogeys, a triple bogey and finished her historic round at the U.S. Womens Open just like any other 11-year-old girl. She went straight for an ice cream. The sixth-grader from the Bay Area held her own at Pinehurst No. 2 except for three bad holes. Li wound up with an 8-over 78. That put her 11 shots behind the early leader, two-time major champion Stacy Lewis, and a long shot to become the youngest ever to make the cut in the Womens Open. Li already is the youngest qualifier in championship history. She dressed for PINEHURST, N.C. -- Lucy Li showed her age only when she finished her historic round Thursday at the U.S. Womens Open. Just like any 11-year-old, she went straight for an ice cream. The youngest qualifier ever at the Womens Open played a grown-up game at Pinehurst No. 2, except for three holes that made her 8-over 78 look a lot worse than it was and stretched the odds of her becoming the youngest player to make the cut. "She looks 11. She doesnt talk 11. And she doesnt hit the ball like shes 11," said Catherine ODonnell, who played with her in a sunbaked opening round on a course that only four days ago hosted the mens U.S. Open. The sixth-grader from the Bay Area was the star attraction, right down to her Stars & Stripes outfit to celebrate the occasion. She wore a mid-drift shirt patterned after the American flag, with a similar motif for a skirt, complete with silver stars that matched the colour of her braces. Li wound up 11 shots behind Stacy Lewis, the No. 1 player in the world who opened with a 67. But one moment was telling. The kid made a 7-foot birdie putt on the par-5 fifth hole and headed to the next tee, her braided pigtails swinging with each step. The media and a large gallery followed her right past the adjacent green, where hardly anyone noticed Lewis making her way around Pinehurst with no bogeys. Only this was more than just a sideshow. Li missed only one fairway -- by less than a yard. Even though she hit fairway metals into half of the holes, she rarely got out of position. Now if she could only take back three shots that led to big numbers. "It was a lot of fun. I kind of struggled today, but it was great," Li said, pausing to lick her ice cream between answers. "I mean, its 8 over. Its not bad. But I was 7 over in three holes, so thats 1 over in 15 holes. So yeah, I just need to get rid of the big numbers." Li had the same score as ODonnell, Natalie Gulbis and Jessica Korda, a two-time winner on the LPGA Tour this year. There already were 11 rounds in the 80s. Perhaps most remarkable about her round, besides the 13 pars and two birdies, was how she bounced back from mistakes. "Thats what I was so happy about in my round," she said. "Because after I got doubles and triples, I was able to get it back. Like I made a good stretch of holes after the double on the first hole. And after the triple, I birdied No. 5. And I got a lot of pars after that." Li left a tough angle for her third shot on the par-5 10th hole and came up short and into a bunker. The sand shot looked reasonable until it kept rolling off the back of the green. She chipped with her wedge (a pink shaft) to about 8 feet and missed the putt to take double bogey. Another double bogey came on the 450-yard 16th hole when her fairway metal went into a bunker some 20 yards short of an elevated green, leaving a shot so hard even the best men would have a tough time. Her bunker shot was not strong enough, and she wound up missing a 7-foot bogey putt. Asked to have one swing back, it would be the wedge on the short third hole. She went left of the flag, and it trickled off the turtleback green -- the signature of this Donald Ross course -- and into a bunker. She blasted out over the green, chipped on to 18 feet and three-putted for triple bogey. But she made a pair of smooth birdies -- a 6-iron to 15 feet on No. 1, and a wedge to a right pin position on the fifth hole -- along with some tough par saves. The best came at the 426-yard eighth hole, when her 5-wood from 198 yards went long and over a steep slope right of the green. She lofted a pitch perfectly, and it rolled 6 feet by the cup. This is the same hole where John Daly putted off the green so many times in 1999 that he whacked the ball with his putter when it was still moving and rang up an 11. "Give her that shot again and she cant do that another 50 times, probably," ODonnell said. Along the way in a 5 1/2-hour round, Li often plopped to the ground in the shade and sat until it was time to hit, one time munching from a cup of fruit. "I normally sit down even more than that," she said, giggling as always. Kaymer last week used putter exclusively when he was just off the green. Li chose to chip because thats what made her more comfortable. She won the driving and chipping portion of the Drive, Chip & Putt Championship two months ago at Augusta National. That was for kids. This is for grown-ups. She fit in just fine. "Shes so much more mature than I could possibly imagine," said Jessica Wallace, the other player in their group. "Shes a lot better than people thought. Shes very capable on this golf course. She played like she belongs out here. And it was a real pleasure." The youngest player to make the cut was 13-year-old Marlene Bauer, who tied for 14th in 1947. That was the second U.S. Womens Open, and Baeur -- whose married name was Hagge -- became one of the founders of the LPGA Tour. It was a long day for Lucy Li, and part of her was glad it was over. She also was looking forward to another chance Friday. And what will she do in the meantime? "Eat some more ice cream," she said. the occasion -- an American theme, with silver stars among her red, white and blue outfit. She made two birdies and a couple of grown-up par saves. Adidas Ultra Boost Goedkoop . With the results, North America claimed 2.5 of the three available points, opening up a 17.5-12.5 lead in the overall standings. A total of 60 points are available, meaning the first team to 30.5 points will win the Continental Cup. Adidas Stan Smith Heren Sale . That assertion is getting harder and harder to make, especially given the way 23-year-old Danilo Gallinari has been playing this season. http://www.nmdtekoop.com/falcon-sneakers.html . Joining him in this years class were Switzerlands Patrick Huerlimann and Norways Eigil Ramsfjell. The announcement was made at the world mens curling championship at Capital Indoor Stadium in China.BRISBANE, Australia - Adam Scott will be playing in Australia for the first time since his breakthrough win at the U.S. Masters in April when he kicks off a whirlwind four-tournament schedule in November. The countrys three premier tournaments — the PGA, Masters and Open — will be played over four weeks along with the World Cup. Scott, the first Australian to wear the green jacket at Augusta, headlines the field at the PGA beginning next week on the Gold Coast, joined by Americans Brandt Snedeker and Rickie Fowler. Its the first time the PGA has been staged at the Royal Pines layout. The tournament moved from its home of more than a decade at Coolum after the resorts owner turned part of it into a dinosaur theme park. Then its on to Royal Melbourne, where Scott will defend his Australian Masters title and then join Jason Day on the Australian team at the World Cup of Golf, also at the famed sandbelt course. The Australian Open, with Rory McIlroy joining Scott and Day, begins Nov. 28 at Royal Sydney to conclude the compacted schedule of marquee events on the Australasian PGA Tour. The big buzz is over Scott, whose win over Angel Cabrera on the second playoff hole at Augusta sent Australia into days of celebration. "Australia is a proud sporting nation, and this is one notch in the belt we never got," Scott said moments after his win. His arrival back in Australia was not lost on Snedeker. "I think everyone was happy for Adam, not just Australians, but everyone around the world because hes such a popular guy and he really deserved to win that tournament," Snedeker said. "So its good to have him getting back home and showing off that green jacket to everyone back in Australia. Im sure hes as excited and proud as they are." Australasian PGA Tour officials said Tuesday that some media are travelling from the U.S., and specifically from Augusta, to cover Scotts homecoming at the PGA. Scott, who grew up on the Gold Coast, will be given the keys to the city and spectators will be encouraged to wear green for Fridays second round. A week later, Scott will defend the yellow jacket he won last year at Melbournes Kingston Heath. Adidas Falcon Schoenen. . This year at Royal Melbourne, hell be joined by Matt Kuchar, Vijay Singh and Zimbabwean Brendon de Jonge, a member of the International Team at the Presidents Cup this year. Marc Leishman, who played with Scott in the final round at Augusta, is also entered in the Australian Masters, along with Geoff Ogilvy, who is trying to recover from a recent stretch of indifferent form on the PGA Tour. Scott and Days team foes at the World Cup will include Americans Gary Woodland and Kuchar in the Nov. 21-24 event that will feature individual stroke-play competition with a team component — total scores of two-man teams. The format used will be similar to that used when golf makes its return to the Olympics in 2016 at Rio de Janeiro. The Australian Open will also have a more international flavour this year, being the first qualifying event for next Julys British Open at Royal Liverpool. On Monday, Royal and Ancient chief executive Peter Dawson announced that The Open Championship would move away from 36-hole qualifying events, instead using 10 tournaments from five continents to determine 32 spots in the field for Liverpool. Three players can qualify from the Australian Open. Scotts return to Australia will coincide with a far different golf revival for Jarrod Lyle. The Australian Masters will mark a return to competitive play for Lyle for the first time in 18 months after the popular Australian golfers recovery from his second bout with leukemia. Lyle told local media two months ago as he worked his way up to playing full rounds again that he hopes to be inspired by his 21-month-old daughter Lusi, who was born shortly after his second bout of cancer was diagnosed and his chemotherapy sessions began. "For me, thats probably going to be the biggest thing: having her there, at a golf tournament, watching her dad try to play some golf again," Lyle said. "Itd be nice for Lusi to be there and just run onto the green and catch me before I fall over after 18 holes." ' ' '
