NAPLES, Fla. -- Shanshan Feng of China set a goal to win twice on the LPGA Tour in one season, which she accomplished in her final four starts of the year. The two wins could not have been any more different. Her first win was before a hometown crowd in Beijing and required no small amount of luck. Trailing most of the day, she hit a shot on the final hole that she figured was in the water. It barely cleared the hazard, took a weird and wild hop out of the rough, was running fast across the green and struck the pin to settle tap-in distance away for an eagle and a one-shot win over Stacy Lewis. "I think it was magic," she said. Sunday at the LPGA Titleholders was sheer skill. Starting the final round two shots behind and never thinking it was her tournament to win, the 24-year-old Feng ran off four birdies in six holes to take the lead, missed three birdie putts inside 6 feet that could have put it away, and then held off Gerina Piller with two birdies over the final four holes at Tiburon Golf Club. Feng closed with a 6-under 66 for a one-shot win over Piller to claim $700,000, the richest prize in womens golf. "I actually didnt think I was going to achieve my goal, but I made it at the last minute at the last tournament in Florida, so Im really, really happy," Feng said. The only trouble she faced was figuring out how to light the cannon that signalled the end of the LPGA Tour season. Feng was given that duty as the winner of the CME Group Titleholders, and once she was shown how, she was shocked at how quickly she heard the boom. Feng wasnt the only winner this week along the gulf shores of Florida. Here were the five biggest winners: FLAWLESS FENG: Feng played the final 31 holes without a bogey to make up ground on a strong leaderboard that included some of the best in womens golf. She only needed three holes to take the lead, and she came up with two big shots down the stretch. Her 7-iron into the 15th stopped 8 feet away for a birdie to give her a two-shot lead, and then she hit a touch pitch behind the green on the par-5 17th that set up a tap-in birdie. Those were important, because Piller made birdie on both in the group behind Feng to stay within range. Feng only wanted to get to 15-under 273, win or lose, and it turned out to be a winner. She is expected to go to No. 4 in the world ranking, and her $700,000 check allowed her to finish the season at No. 4 on the money list. AMERICAN GIRL: Lewis shot a 63 on Saturday that all but wrapped up the Vare Trophy for the lowest scoring average. She was in position Sunday to win the tournament until a bogey on the front nine that slowed her momentum, and Lewis never got it back. Even so, she closed with a 71 to tie for sixth and became the first American since Beth Daniel in 1994 to win the Vare Trophy. "As Americans, we hear about that all the time -- its been 18 years or its been 20 years or whatever it is," Lewis said. "Im just glad to have that kind of checked off the list. Weve got to get American golf on the map. Thats been the goal and Im just fortunate Ive been playing good golf." INBEE PARK: Inbee Park closed with a 68 to finish fifth, but she was a winner all week. Park, who won three straight majors among her six wins this year, clinched the LPGA player of the year last week in Mexico. On Friday night at the Ritz-Carlton, she delivered one of the most moving acceptance speeches, including this line, "As soon as happiness became my goal, I achieved more things than ever." Park wound up winning the LPGA Tour money title for the second straight year, both times going over $2 million PILLERS BEST: Piller just bought a house in Texas and figured the $700,000 would go a long way toward paying that off. She came close. With birdies on the 15th and 17th holes, she stayed within one shot of Feng and at least gave herself a shot at a playoff on the 18th. From behind a small native bush, the wind at her back, she hit 7-iron from 162 yards from 10 feet and narrowly missed the putt. It didnt go in, but the stroke was not tentative. Piller finished the year by playing in her first Solheim Cup team, and her runner-up finish at the Titleholders was the best of her career. LOOKING AHEAD: One of the highlights of the season-ending event was the announcement of the 2014 schedule. In previous years, the schedule was so tenuous that it wasnt announced until January. LPGA Commissioner Mike Whan and his staff put together a 32-event schedule, up nine tournaments from two years ago. The LPGA returns at the end of January in The Bahamas. Radamel Falcao Jersey . He says he will have the operation Wednesday and be ready in time for training camp in September. Bernier missed five games in March due to the injury. Frank Fabra Jersey .com) - Real Madrid claimed its 20th consecutive win across all competitions by cruising to a 4-1 victory at Almeria on Friday. http://www.nationalcolombiafootball.com/...olombia-jersey/. Nine years later, he might have finally figured it out. He had only five rounds in the 60s in his previous eight trips. Davinson Sanchez Colombia Jersey . The move - the latest twist in Greeces nearly three-year financial freefall -- is the first such action by any of the countrys major sports bodies. It immediately halts all domestic track and field competitions, including track meets May 12-13 in several Greek cities. Jefferson Lerma Jersey . Terrance Broadway threw for 227 yards and Hunter Stover kicked three field goals as the Ragin Cajuns won an unprecedented fourth straight New Orleans Bowl with a 16-3 triumph over Nevada.MELBOURNE, Australia - Ange Postecoglous Australia squad will carry a home-field advantage and plenty of pressure to perform when the Asian Cup kicks off on Friday.Australia surprised football critics by closely challenging Chile and the Netherlands in the group stage at the World Cup in Brazil, with veteran Tim Cahill scoring one of the most acrobatic goals of the tournament before a youthful and untested team lost comprehensively to 2010 champion Spain.Postecoglou said his team is aiming to build on the fluid formation it used at the World Cup, with attacking players moving into non-traditional positions at times to confuse opposing defences.You can see it out on the pitch that we are still moving forward with the type of football we want to play, he said. We have tried to add more fluency into the front third and have been evolving since the World Cup.Australia lost the 2011 Asian Cup final to Japan and was among the four Asian teams that qualified for Brazil 2014, but the squad has slid down the world rankings recently, something Postecoglou wants to rectify with another strong run at the continental tournament.Australias chief rival in Group A is South Korea, which has been working to rebuild its team and confidence following a disappointing World Cup, where it finished last in its group and prompted coach Hong Myung-bo to resign.Now under the stewardship of former West Germany and Real Madrid midfieldder Uli Stielike, South Korea — with the likes of Swansea Citys Ki Sung-yueng, Bayer Leverkusen winger Son Heung-min and TSG Hoffenheim defender Kim Jin-su — will be aiming to regain the form that saw it reach the 2002 World Cup semifinals.ddddddddddddKim, who is yet to play under Stielike, said hes still learning his new coachs style of play.I am trying to figure out his strategic styles, Kim said. I am trying to make quick adjustments to his system.Kuwait and Oman are also in the group, determined to push West Asias interests into the knock-out rounds.At the recent Gulf Cup, Oman reached the semifinals and Kuwait had a surprising win over Iraq and drew with the United Arab Emirates in the group stage.Australia, which features World Cup veterans Tim Cahill and captain Mile Jedinak, and Bayer Leverkusen forward Robbie Kruse, plays Kuwait on Friday in a litmus test for both teams prospects in the group. Assuming Australia lives up to expectations, the highlight of Group A will be its last preliminary round match on Jan. 17 against the South Koreans in Brisbane.We have to be ruthless. I dont care how we win, as long as we win, Cahill told the domestic media.South Korea last won the tournament in 1960, and Stielike seems to have modest expectations in Australia after recently being quoted as saying third place would be a good showing.An increasingly impatient South Korean public may disagree.
