BATTLE CREEK, Mich. Rod Carew Jersey . -- Belgiums Laura Gonzalez Escallon won the FireKeepers Casino Hotel Championship on Sunday for her first Symetra Tour title when rain washed out at the final round.Play began on time Sunday at 7:30 a.m., but was halted at 9:25 a.m. Rain and lightning continued through the early afternoon and play didnt resume.The 25-year-old Gonzalez matched the Symetra Tours 36-hole scoring record of 15-under 129 at Battle Creek Country Club, shooting a 65 on Friday and a course-record 64 on Saturday to open a six-stroke lead over Ally McDonald.It feels awesome, but it hasnt sunk in yet because I was just trying to focus on my round, said Gonzalez Escallon, who was at her host familys house off the seventh hole when she got the news. When I got the email, I called my mom and told her the good news because she has been waiting and it is late at home in Belgium. Im really happy about the win.Gonzalez Escallon earned $15,000 and a spot in The Evian Championship in September.Its amazing to get to go to Evian, it will be my first ever LPGA event and it is a major, the former Purdue player said. I also get to go home so that is a good thing. I was trying to find an excuse to go home and now I have one. I will go to Evian and then enjoy a week off at home and then fly back to finish the Symetra Tour season.Gonzalez Escallon jumped from 38th to 16th on the money list with $31,053. The top 10 at the end of the season will earn LPGA Tour cards.My dream is to play on the LPGA so it would be great to get into the top 10 instead of going through Q-School, which is a really tough week, Gonzalez Escallon said. If I can play good golf the rest of year, it would help going to the LPGA knowing I can play consistently.McDonald also earned a spot in The Evian. She birdied her final hole Saturday for a 66.McDonald is second on the money list with $71,728. Madelene Sagstrom leads with $123,678.

Now that hes hitting streaking teammates with pin-point passes for easy layups, Love is asserting himself as one of the true superstars in the league. http://www.twinsrookiestore.com/Twins-Glen-Perkins-Kids-Jersey/ . Those lessons were more than enough to overwhelm the Utah Jazz. Lou Williams scored 25 points and the Hawks continued their offensive upswing as they rolled to an easy 118-85 victory over the Jazz on Friday night, winning their third straight and for the fourth time in five games. TORONTO -- Team North America and its breathtaking style of play are gone after three thrilling games at the World Cup of Hockey, their 2-1-0 record missing out on a semifinal berth by a hair.It seems so unfair, first and foremost for these North American kids, who surpassed all expectations in beating Sweden and Finland and losing by just a goal to Russia -- the loss that came back to haunt them. And its just as unfair to the fans of this sport, who were transported back to Edmonton Oilers 1980s-style hockey this week.Yeah, no matter what happens this afternoon, I think we can be proud of ourselves, North America star Connor McDavid said Thursday before Russias 3-0 win over Finland sealed Team North Americas fate. We can hold our heads high and know that we did almost everything we could do. ... Its been so much fun. We dont really want it to be over.Neither does anyone else.But what a memory the kids left us with.Its great. Its good for hockey. Its good for the future of hockey, Team Canada veteran defenseman Shea Weber said Thursday of the North American team. You see all the young talent coming through now. Its the future of our sport. Theyre a very competitive team. ... Theyve had some success, and its been fun to watch.But will they be back? The early indications are that the 23-and-under concept is a one-and-done experiment for a variety of reasons, one of them being that I dont think USA Hockey would endorse it again, not unless it can first choose which kids it wants on the senior team.Even McDavid said hed prefer to play for Team Canada next time around, even though hed be under 24 if the next World Cup is in 2020 and would qualify for a North American team in the existing framework.Lets see where this goes. The NHL and NHL Players Association might see the impact the kids team had on fans and decide to bring back a version of it. But the reality, too, is that this was a unique squad in terms of generational talent. Auston Matthews, Jack Eichel, Johnny Gaudreau, Nathan MacKinnon -- youre not going to get that class of players every four years.But what a tourney it was for Team North America: the chemistry 2015 No. 1 pick McDavid and 2016 No. 1 pick Matthews formed on a line together; Gaudreaus mesmerizing hands; the opening two minutes of the Sweden game; and the capper was MacKinnons ridiculous OT goal to beat the Swedes.Its an absolute shame the youngsters are gone. A semifinal matchup with Team Canada on a Saturday night would have been unreal theater.Oh, well. We can only ponder now what that would have been like.Other top stories from the preliminary round:? There was so much focus within Team USA on building its roster to beat Team Canada that wwe should have almost predicted the 3-0 stinker in the opener against Europe. Custom Minnesota Twins Jerseys. The teams in this tournament are way too good to focus all your energy on one rival. Thats truly the mistake, I think, that was made in assembling and preparing this team. The Americans were not ready for Team Europe, and it cost them an early exit.? Its a huge disappointment to see Finland go 0-3-0 and score just one goal in the tournament. The back-to-back Olympic bronze medalists deserved a better fate against Sweden (2-0 loss), but they otherwise were rather ordinary in losses to North America and Russia. I wouldnt read too much into it, however. The Finns are developing superb talent at younger levels and will be a force to reckon with again.? If they awarded a Jack Adams Award for best coach of the round-robin, the winner would be Team Europes Ralph Krueger. The way he brought together players from eight nations in such a short time to play such a cohesive, structured game is nothing short of remarkable.? Sweden still hasnt hit its high gear, as a Sunday semifinal (1 ET, ESPN) date with Europe awaits. Seen from the get-go as Team Canadas biggest threat, the Swedes have been good in stretches but have yet to put together three great periods. I think youll see that Sunday.? High marks to Russia for shedding some demons in finally reaching the semifinals of a best-on-best event after quarterfinal exits at the Sochi (2014) and Vancouver (2010) Winter Olympics. After the Russians opened the tournament with a 2-1 loss to Sweden, Alex Ovechkins squad really had its back against the wall against North America. A loss in that game would have eliminated Russia, with the added layer being the ignominy of getting kicked out by the kids. While that game could have gone either way, Im impressed by the passion and resiliency Russia showed in finding a way to win. It might be something the Russians can draw on as they try to upset Canada on Saturday night (7 ET, ESPN2).? And yes, Team Canada. Ho-hum, right? All Canada does is win and win and win. The Canadians went a perfect 6-0-0 in Sochi and walked through the round-robin at 3-0-0, crushing Team USA along the way. Sidney Crosbys top line has been out of this world. The fourth line centered by Ryan OReilly was the difference in the win over the U.S., and Jonathan Toews line led Canada past Europe. As Canadian coach Mike Babcock said Thursday, no doubt Ryan Getzlafs line is up next. Can Canada be beaten? Of course. But its going to take a heroic goaltending performance and opportunistic scoring to do it. ' ' '
