The LPGA Tour returns from its three-week Olympic hiatus this week with a stop in western Canada. Priddis Greens Golf and Country Club near Calgary is the setting for the Canadian Pacific Womens Open, which gets underway on Thursday.All eyes will be on defending champion Lydia Ko of New Zealand, who has won four times this season and has captured this event three times in the past four years. Ko is coming off a silver-medal winning performance in Rio.Ko says winning an Olympic medal stands alongside the top accomplishments of her career.Its definitely one of the highest ones up there, she said. I cant take away the two majors I won. Those are very special, winning Evian and ANA Inspiration, but also this one, even though this one is a silver medal, its just as special. Everything is so different in its own way, but its definitely one to remember. I think its just more so the atmosphere and the vibe of the Olympics that I just enjoyed so much.Ko is one of 32 Olympians in the field and the only medalist. Gold medalist Inbee Park (South Korea) and bronze medalist Shanshan Feng (China) are bypassing this event.Eight of the top 10 ranked players in the world are on hand, however, as are the top 10 players on the LPGA money list. The field includes Ariya Jutanugarn of Thailand, who, like Ko, is a four-time winner this season but was forced to withdraw from the Olympic tournament because of an injury.The list of other Olympians in the field includes Canadians Brooke Henderson and Alena Sharp, U.S. Womens Open runnerup Anna Nordqvist (Sweden), Charley Hull (Great Britain), Suzann Pettersen (Norway), Minjee Lee (Australia), Sei Young Kim (South Korea), and Americans Stacy Lewis and Gerina Piller.A total of 17 Canadian players are in the field, four of them amateurs. In the wake of her Olympic experience, Sharp is looking forward to playing the next two weeks in her homeland.Its nice to be home right after the Olympics, she said, to continue wearing the red and white this week and next week (in Ontario), for two weeks in a row, I cant think of a better way to celebrate being at the Olympics than playing in Canada two weeks in a row.Sharp feels the exposure that womens golf received in Rio will increase awareness of the sport.Golf was in the Olympics for the first time in over 100 years, she said, and we were a part of that. I think a lot more people saw it than normal because everybody watches the Olympics. Johnny Strzykalski Jersey . Toronto has dropped games to Indiana and Miami since a five-game winning streak and closed out a three-game road trip at 1-2. Rod Woodson Jersey . There are some early surprises in the race for the Hart Trophy, but two of the contenders are the leagues biggest stars over the past decade. There are many more players in contention for the awards than just the three that Ive named, and a good or bad week can easily alter the landscape, but through the first 20 or so games of the NHL season, this is how the awards races look to me. http://www.custom49ersjersey.com/custom-garrison-hearst-jersey-large-768d.html . Canada is now down to its 22-player limit, although but players wont be registered until Christmas Day. Changes could still be made as a result of a suspension or injury. D.J. Reed Jersey . The Americans, skipped by John Shuster, seized the advantage in the eighth end by scoring five points for a 7-3 lead. The Czechs pulled two back in the ninth, but Shusters team of third Jeff Isaacson, second Jared Zezel and lead John Landsteiner ended with another point to secure the last Olympic berth on offer.

Rob Nelson of ESPN Stats & Information revisits the worst bad beats from the weekends gambling action.?Closing lines are courtesy of Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, and pick percentages are via Wunderdog Sports.SaturdayStanford Cardinal at UCLA BruinsClosing line: Stanford -3Whether or not you had action on this game, it will certainly be remembered as one of the worst bad beats anyone has seen. Less than 20 percent of the action was on UCLA, who closed at +3 after the line reached as high as 3.5.UCLA led from the 18-second mark in the first quarter until less than 30 seconds were left, when Stanfords Ryan Burns hooked up with JJ Arcega-Whiteside for a go-ahead 8-yard touchdown. It marked the first touchdown of the game for the Cardinal. At this point, with 24 seconds left, UCLA backers who had +3 were looking at a push, and those who had +3.5 were in great shape. But on the final snap of the game -- one play after Kenneth Walker III almost hauled in a deep pass that would have put the Bruins in field goal range -- Josh Rosen was strip-sacked by Joey Alfieri. The ball seemingly bounced right into the gut of Stanfords Solomon Thomas, who returned the fumble 42 yards for a touchdown.This was the eighth time the Cardinal covered during their current run of nine straight outright wins over the Bruins.Final score: Stanford 22, UCLA 13 (Stanford covers)Kent State Golden Flashes at Alabama Crimson TideClosing over/under: 49Of all the totals to bet on Saturday, the over in this game had the second-highest percentage of action (83 percent). Those bettors appeared to have an easy winner, as Alabama led 41-0 at halftime.The Crimson Tide added another touchdown in the third quarter, making the score 48-0 with 21:17 left in the game. It looked like another score was coming on Alabamas next possession when it drove down to the Kent State 24-yard line. But instead of kicking a field goal on fourth down, Nick Saban elected to go for it, and B.J. Emmons was stuffed for a 2-yard loss. On the following Kent State drive, it drove down inside the Alabama 10-yard line. On fourth-and-goal, quarterback George Bollas ran it in from 7 yards out, and those on the over rejoiced. But in a questionable call, the officials overturned the touchdown, marking the ball at the 1-yard line and giving it baack to Alabama.ddddddddddddThat marked the last scoring opportunity for either team and the total finished under by a single point.Final score: Alabama 48, Kent State 0 (game goes under)California Golden Bears at Arizona State Sun DevilsClosing line: Arizona State -3.5, over/under 85If you took the under or California plus the points, youre wishing you laid off that late-night action on Saturday.At halftime, Cal led 24-10 as 3.5-point underdogs, while the total was 51 points below the closing over/under of 85. With less than 10 minutes left, the Golden Bears led 27-20, but then the fireworks began. Arizona State scored 31 points in the final 9:44, the most fourth-quarter points by an FBS team in the last two seasons. The play that those who took Cal (and/or the under) wont soon forget came with less than a minute left after the Golden Bears scored to cut the Sun Devils lead to 44-41 . Arizona States DJ Calhoun scooped and scored on Cals onside kick attempt to push the total over and seal the cover for ASU.Final score: Arizona State 51, California 41 (Arizona State covers/game goes over)Washington Huskies at Arizona WildcatsClosing over/under: 58.5It was quite the Saturday night in the Pac-12, with this game providing yet another improbable result for bettors. Even with Arizonas starting quarterback and running back out, just 22 percent of the action was on the under, which looked great late in the fourth quarter.Washington led 21-14 with less than five minutes left, 23.5 points below the closing over/under. At this point, overtime was the only way those on the under would lose. The teams traded touchdowns to make it 28-21 Washington, and Arizona got one last chance. Wildcats quarterback Brandon Dawkins connected with Josh Kern for a 3-yard score with 17 seconds left. With the score 28-27, Arizona head coach Rich Rodriguez elected to kick the extra point instead of going for the win as 16.5-point underdogs. In overtime, Washington scored a touchdown to push the total over, and stopped Arizona to win the game.Rich Rods decision ended up costing both his team and those on the under.Final score: Washington 35, Arizona 28 in OT (game goes over) ' ' '
