      who is bringing down the curtain

      The LPGA Tour is spending the week on the Korean peninsula for the KEB Hana Bank Championship, and for a good portion of the field, this tournament will feel like home. Ronnie Lott Jersey .There are 32 Korean players in the field of 78 that will tee it up at the SKY72 Golf and Resort in Incheon, South Korea. Twelve of those 78 are members of the KLPGA.Its no secret, of course, that Korean players have been a dominant force on the LPGA Tour over most of the past two decades. And that trend shows no sign of changing. Presently there are 34 Korean players on the LPGA Tour, 27 of whom have won a tournament.One of them is Se Ri Pak, who is bringing down the curtain on her Hall of Fame career this week. This tournament will be the last in a career that has seen Pak win 25 LPGA events (including five majors) and change the face of womens golf forever.It really hasnt hit me yet that Im sitting here ... announcing my retirement, she said. I know we have a couple more days to go here, and Im not even sure that its going to hit me once we get through this tournament. But Ive been thinking about retiring probably the last three years or so.American Lexi Thompson comes into the event as the defending champion after finishing 72 holes here a year ago at 15-under-par 273.Its always nice to come back to Korea and play in front of the amazing fans here, she said. and this golf course is in amazing shape for us again this year, so Im really looking forward to the week.The field this week is a strong one, with nine of the top 10 players in the world on hand. The only top-10 player missing is Olympic gold medalist Inbee Park of South Korea. But the five other Korean players in the top 10 are playing, including In Gee Chun (third), Sei Young Kim (sixth), Ha Na Jang (eighth), Sung Hyun Park (ninth), and Amy Yang (10th). World No. 1 Lydia Ko, who was born in Korea but now calls New Zealand home, is also on hand.The field also includes Jodi Ewart-Shadoff (England), Suzann Pettersen (Norway), and Americans Gerina Piller and Brittany Lang. Frank Gore Jersey . -- Edmontons Val Sweeting is two wins away from a trip to Winnipeg to play in Canadas Road of the Rings in December. Matt Breida Jersey . The giant slalom world champion slipped during her first run in the morning, landing on her back and then twisting forward before getting her leg caught in the protective material on the side of the slope. http://www.custom49ersjersey.com/custom-tom-owen-jersey-large-1908d.html . Parker had 26 points and eight assists and San Antonio beat Toronto 112-99 Monday night. "We won that game because of Tony Parkers aggressiveness," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "His juice; his aggression all night long. CINCINNATI -- Tyler Eifert pointed to a crescent-shaped scar surrounding the ball on his left ankle. That little spot is sidelining the Cincinnati Bengals tight end for training camp, and maybe more.He had surgery two months ago to repair a partial ligament tear that he suffered during the Pro Bowl. He was in a cast for six weeks and has to wear a protective boot for at least another week.Eifert was the most prominent Bengal who couldnt participate Friday in the first practice of training camp. Linebacker Rey Maualuga initially had been ruled out because of an offseason injury, but he was cleared to participate a few hours before practice.Eiferts injury is a significant setback to a team still looking for its playoff breakthrough -- no postseason victory in 25 years. Eifert set a club record for touchdown catches by a tight end (13). He became Andy Daltons favorite target near the goal line with his 6-foot-6 frame and dependable hands.He also made his first Pro Bowl. His cleats grabbed the ground on one step and he twisted his foot. Initially it was thought to be an injury that would heal with time, but it never got better.The injury I had -- more times than not you dont have surgery, Eifert said. I did everything right, followed the protocol, and it just didnt heal the way it was supposed to. It was something that had to be done.The season opener is six weeks away -- in New York against the Jets on Sept. 11 -- which doesnt leave much time for him to get the ankle back to full strength and get himself in playing shape. Its possible hell be sidelined or limited for the first few games.Theres a long progression that you have to go through here to return to play, Eifert said. Youve got to be watched by a lot of different eyes and go through a lot of different steps.The injury has convinced Eifert that his first Pro Bowl appearance will be his last.If I ever get asked back, that is, Eifert said. But no. I mean, it wass one of my most favorite weekends Ive ever had, just hanging out with the guys. George Kittle Jersey. Its cool. You play against these guys all year long. Some of the guys have been in the Pro Bowl multiple years that you watched growing up. Youre in the pool hanging out. It was a lot of fun.Then it comes to (game day) and youre on the bus going, `Were going to play a game? Holy .... So it was a great week, but I dont want to risk going through this again.Maualuga initially was ruled out of practice because of an offseason injury that sidelined him for a month. The Bengals will be missing linebacker Vontaze Burfict for the first three games of the season, when he serves his NFL suspension for illegal hits. Maualuga wanted to be on the field for the start of camp.I dont want to just show up a week or two before our first game and (coaches are) trying to rush and get me to do this and do that, he said.Game notes Coach Marvin Lewis theme for this season -- featured on black shirts he left in each players locker -- is Pound The Rock, with a logo of two crossed hammers. I just feel like once the last season ended and I began thinking about 2016, we had to stay the course and we had to keep pounding, he said. ... Maualuga had a new look: black and orange dreadlocks. He and Burfict agreed to get their heads shaved as a new look for the season, but Maualuga changed his mind. Eventually I will, Maualuga said. My daughter tells me to cut it all the time, so in due time I will. ... Rookie WR Tyler Boyd took a pitch on a reverse and threw a touchdown on the third play of 11-on-11 drills, filling the versatile role of former WR Mohamed Sanu. They brought me here to suit my athleticism all around the field, Boyd said.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
