INCHEON, South Korea -- Se Ri Pak ended her Hall of Fame career in tears Thursday in front of her adoring home fans in the LPGA KEB Hana Bank Championship. Dwight Clark Jersey .Overcome at the end of the sunny afternoon at Sky 72, Pak cried nearly throughout a retirement ceremony on the 18th hole. The Little Angels childrens choir sang, players wore SE RI hats, and farewell messages were played in a video montage.A lot of emotion going on through my mind, Pak said.It mattered little to the fans and players, many of them drawn to golf by Pak, that she shot an 8-over 80 and was tied for last -- 15 strokes behind leader Alison Lee -- before withdrawing.Hampered by left shoulder problems, the 39-year-old Pak said in Phoenix in March that this season would be her last, and she stepped away as planned after the first round of the tours lone South Korean event.It wasnt a sudden decision to retire, but I think it will take time for me to absorb the fact that I will no longer be competing, Pak said. Today I was really happy and grateful to see so many fans out there. It really moved me. I really wanted to show them my appreciation. I couldnt figure out how during the competition, but I was very moved by the open retirement ceremony. I was very, very extremely happy.She won 25 LPGA Tour titles -- the last in 2010 -- and five majors, two of them during a rookie season in 1998 that gave womens golf its biggest boost since Nancy Lopez. The youngest player to be inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame when she was enshrined in 2007 at age 30, Pak won 14 times on the Korean LPGA Tour and captained South Koreas Olympic team, with Inbee Park winning the gold medal, in Rio de Janeiro.Pak last played on the tour in July, also shooting an 80 to miss the cut in the U.S. Womens Open.Playing alongside defending champion Lexi Thompson and Chinese star Shanshan Feng in the final group, Pak bogeyed the first hole and four of the first six. She bogeyed the first five holes on the back nine, birdied the par-4 15th and closed with three straight pars.When I reached the 18th, I was on the tee box, and I felt like I couldnt make the shot, Pak said. I think I cried all throughout the 18th hole. Actually there was flood of emotions that I really didnt expect to feel. I didnt expect myself to feel this way.From the fairway of the 18th hole and the green, I could see the gallery and the fans, and there was just a lot of love and support. I think it was one of the best moments. Ive had a lot of the victories in my career, and I have to say it was one of the best, happiest moments of my career.Pak managed to hit a good drive and a layup on the par-5 18th then left her wedge 15 feet short. She watched Fengs putt stay to the right and had a better line, but still missed on the right edge. Thompson then missed -- also to the right -- from 3 feet, setting off a flurry of camera clicks as the attention turned back to Pak, 18 years after she sparked the rise in South Korean and Asian womens golf.Pak-mania ruled in the summer of 98, especially after she won the U.S. Womens Open in a 20-hole playoff against amateur Jenny Chuasiriporn. When Pak returned to South Korea that fall, she had to be hospitalized for exhaustion. Television cameras even came into her hospital room to give the latest news.Pak was a catalyst for more young players to believe they could compete on the strongest circuit in womens golf. Today, six of the top 10 players in the world and 22 of the top 45 are South Korean.I think if we had no so-called Se Ri Kids, the Korean golf scene would be quite different today, Pak said.Lee shot a 65 to take a three-stroke lead. The 21-year-old American birdied the final two holes and four of the last six on the Jack Nicklaus-designed Ocean Course.She matched her best round of a season marred by a torn labrum in her left shoulder.I actually injured my shoulder back in February, and I didnt know what was wrong, Lee said. My swing was changing and all that, and I definitely wasnt performing the same way I used to. It hurt a lot, a huge portion of my mental game. I was struggling a lot on the golf course, not only because of my injury but because I was scared. I was scared of the ball. I didnt know where it was going to go.After a birdie try on No. 16 horseshoed out, the UCLA student made a 12-footer on the par-3 17th and got up-and-down for birdie on No. 18 after nearly reaching the green in two.In-Kyung Kim, the winner two weeks ago in China, was in second along with fellow South Korean player Jeong Min Cho, Swedens Anna Nordqvist, American Lizette Salas and Frances Karine Icher.Evian winner In Gee Chun and U.S. Womens Open champion Brittany Lang shot 69. Thompson was at 70 with Brooke Henderson, the Canadian teen playing the third of six straight weeks in Asia.South Koreas Ha Na Jang, the winner last week in Taiwan for her third victory of the year, had a 71. Feng and Ariya Jutanugarn, a five-time winner this year, shot 73. Top-ranked Lydia Ko was tied for 63rd at 75. Patrick Willis Jersey . 1, meaning problems for the doping controls at both major international sports events next year. The World Anti-Doping Agency provisionally suspended the Moscow Antidoping Center on Sunday, saying its operations must improve or a six-month ban on the facilitys accreditation will be imposed. Joshua Garnett Jersey . The 18-year-old American had five birdies in her bogey-free round for a 17-under total of 196. Lee held the overnight lead but mixed three birdies with two bogeys for a 70. www.cheap49ersjerseyselite.com/?tag=cheap-jaquiski-tartt-jersey .Y. - Jerome Samson scored once in regulation and again in the shootout as the St. MIAMI -- Whatever the Detroit Pistons decide to do when it comes to protests that call for societal change this season, theyll have the support of coach Stan Van Gundy.Hes urging them to make an impact.As NBA teams began gathering Friday to start training camps -- three teams hold their first practices Saturday, while 27 others get going in the coming days -- an issue each is addressing is how players and coaches can help create substantive change in cities across the country. The NBA and the players union urged teams this week to develop ideas in a memo this week.No one can be happy with whats going on right now, Van Gundy said Friday. I like what (Golden State coach) Steve Kerr said. Wherever you are on the political spectrum, I dont think a thinking person can say, `This isnt a problem. I mean, were shooting unarmed people -- and youve got to think largely, they are seen as threats largely because of their race. I mean, its hard to fathom.Similar sentiments have been expressed around the league for months, as the list of U.S. cities dealing with protests -including Baltimore, Milwaukee, Chicago, New York, Ferguson, Missouri and now Tulsa, Oklahoma and Charlotte -- over the death of black men at the hands of police.Dwyane Wade, LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul talked openly about it in July, standing side-by-side on television. At media days Friday in Oklahoma City, Houston and New Orleans, it was a major topic. Around the rest of the league, itll be the same Monday.In a league where about 75 percent of the players are black and some have enormous social-media followings, plenty of eyes will be on the NBA to see what it does after NFL players and some athletes from other sports have taken to kneeling during national anthems or raising a fist in an effort to spark discussion about race relations and other matters.Were not looking forward to protesting stuff, New Orleans Quincy Pondexter said. Were looking forward to solutions.The NBA has a rule saying players and staff must stand for the playing of the national anthem, and 20 years ago Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf was suspended for a game for refusing to stand for the anthem. Abdul-Rauf, who did not respond to interview requests this week, said then that he felt the flag was a symbol of oppression.Despite that rule, which the NBA did not mention in its memo to teams, Houstons James Harden saiid protests on NBA courts are possible. KWaun Williams Jersey. he Rockets All-Star called the decision by San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick to kneel or sit during the anthem a powerful statement.Hes standing up for what he believes in, Harden said. Devastating that all these people are just dying, dying for no reason. Families are grieving, just a tough situation, especially from men and women who are supposed to be protecting us. But each individual has their own beliefs on how they go about handling it and youve got to respect it.Harden said Rockets players will decide what to do individually. New Orleans coach Alvin Gentry wants the Pelicans to have a unified approach, a stance echoed by New York Knicks President Phil Jackson.We want them to do something that they all feel genuine about, Jackson said.New Orleans center Anthony Davis said seeing frustration and violence in recent months has prompted him to become even more community-minded, with hopes that actions go deeper than any words could.We have the power to do stuff other people cant, Davis said. So I think we have to use that.For Van Gundy, it goes much deeper than just reacting to shootings.He spoke at length about urging the Pistons to vote and how the organization responded to a water crisis in Flint, Michigan. He also talked about how Pistons forward Marcus Morris had a 6-year-old cousin injured by gunfire this summer; the boy survived, even though the vehicle he was in was caught in a flurry of crossfire.Issues like those are why Van Gundy said the question of whether NBA players will kneel for the anthem is far less important than many might suggest.Theres so much to focus on, Van Gundy said. And I think its great that we have players that want to be part of that conversation, and a lot of players that want to go beyond the conversation and be part of the solution.Finding that solution wont be easy.I dont have an answer. Nobody has an answer, Oklahoma Citys Russell Westbrook said. If that was the case, we would have fixed it.---AP Basketball Writer Brian Mahoney in New York and AP Sports Writers Noah Trister in Auburn Hills, Michigan, Kristie Rieken in Houston, Cliff Brunt in Oklahoma City and Brett Martel in New Orleans contributed to this report.
