MOBILE, Ala. - Inbee Park is back defending her No. 1 ranking, instead of watching others try to take it away from her. Second-ranked Stacy Lewis couldnt take advantage of Parks absence last week at the Kingsmill Championship in Virginia, but theyll be competing head to head again at the Airbus LPGA Classic starting Thursday on The Crossings course at Magnolia Grove thats part of the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail. She watched Adam Scott wrest the PGA Tours top ranking from Tiger Woods on Monday without competing that week. "It would be nice to get it the way Adam Scott did, but I want to win tournaments at the end of the day," Lewis said Wednesday. "Being No. 1 in the world is definitely a goal but you cant think about it all the time. "If its something Im thinking about trying to make a birdie putt, its just not going to happen, so I just have to keep doing what I know is right. Even if I do get to No. 1, the goals dont change. Its still, give myself a chance to win on Sunday and let everything else take care of itself." Lewis has a successful track record in Alabama, winning the states tournaments in Mobile and Prattville in 2012. She wasnt able to pass Park, who missed last weeks tournament while sick. Park has been No. 1 for more than a year. "I wasnt really feeling well for the last couple weeks I played ... so the next week I probably took three or four days off trying to get healthier and get the bad things out of my system," the South Korean said. "The next week I try to practice a little bit more and work on my game because I didnt really have that big of a gap or a break when the season started, so I didnt really have time to work on my game as much as I would like to. "I feel like Im back in a healthy condition, thats the important thing." Park is winless in eight starts this year. Lewis has eight top-10 finishes and won the North Texas LPGA Shootout. She expects low scores from the contenders this week. "Its just the way the greens are set up," Lewis said. "Theyre set up to make birdies, theyre set up to kind of funnel some shots in and get them close. Its fun for the fans, its fun for us to play, and being a good ball striker is where you want to be." For Jennifer Johnson, the return to Mobile has rekindled memories of her first LPGA Tour win last May. She finished with back to back 7-under 65 rounds and set a tournament-record with a 21-under 267 total. Johnson birdied four of the final six holes for a one-stroke victory over Jessica Korda and Pornanong Phatlum. She said being the defending champion could bring "a little pressure." "Maybe just trying to shoot the same thing I did last year because Im always trying to do better than I did the year before," Johnson said. "But I think the pressure really just you put it on yourself." Jeff Bagwell Jersey .

Watt had a season for the ages to help the Houston Texans make a seven-game improvement from last years 2-14 record.It wasnt quite enough to get Houston to the playoffs, but plenty to leave the Texans encouraged entering the off-season.Nine and seven is progress, but progress isnt good enough, first-year coach Bill OBrien said. The mission here is to win. I think our players understand that and they know there is a lot more out there for us as we head into the future.Watt, who won NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2012, had the best season of his four-year career. He had 20 1/2 sacks to become the first player in NFL history with two seasons with 20 or more sacks after also making 20 1/2 in 2012.But the defensive ends sacks were only a small part of what Watt did in 2014. He finished with 78 tackles and led the league with 29 tackles for losses and 50 quarterback hits. He also forced four fumbles and swatted down 10 passes.And those statistics dont even address his scoring.Watt had a fumble return and an interception return for a touchdown and surpassed the 20 sack plateau with a safety in Houstons season-ending win over Jacksonville. His other scores came on offence, where the 6-foot-5, 289-pound Watt showed his huge hands werent just good for batting down passes by grabbing three touchdown receptions.So where does OBrien think Watts season ranks in NFL history?Its got to be one of the best of all time, OBrien said.His dominant season has him in the conversation for NFL Most Valuable Player, an award that hasnt been won by a defensive player since Lawrence Taylor won it in 1986.Watt insists he doesnt think much about the possibility of becoming the third defensive player to be MVP.I left everything I had out there on that field trying to help my team win, doing whatever I could to be the best football player that I could be, he said. However they want to vote, whatever they want to write, they can write whatever they want, but I know that I left it all out there.The winner will be announced Jan. 31.When pressed on what it would mean to him to be voted MVP, Watt said he prefers to think about how teammates, coaches and fans feel about him rather than worrying about awards.You can quantify greatness however you want, but for me its knowing that somebodys in their living room watching the game that Ive never met and theyll never meett me, but they get a smile when I make a play, Watt said.dddddddddddd And thats one of the best feelings in the whole world.Some things to know as the Texans wrap up the season:QUARTERBACK QUESTIONS: Houston started the season with veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick, who was benched after nine starts in favour of Ryan Mallett. But Mallett was injured after just two games and Fitzpatrick got his job back. He won the first two games after his return before breaking his leg in the third. Rookie Tom Savage replaced him in that game and was also injured. Houston signed Case Keenum and he started the last two games.Mallett is a free agent and Fitzpatrick has one-year remaining on the deal he signed last off-season, but OBrien wasnt ready to say what hell do at the position.JOHNSONS FUTURE: Receiver Andre Johnson remains under contract with the Texans, but at 33 and with a hefty salary, theres been speculation he might not be back with the team next year.I can still play the game. I know that, Johnson said. Whatever is meant to happen will happen and Ill cross that bridge when I get there.Johnson finished with 85 receptions for 936 yards.TOUGH LUCK ROOKIE: Top overall pick Jadeveon Clowney missed most of his rookie season with injuries. The outside linebacker sat out the start of training camp because of sports hernia surgery before suffering a concussion late in camp. Then in Week 1, he injured his right knee and had arthroscopic surgery. He played three games after that, but never felt right and eventually had season-ending microfracture surgery earlier this month. The problem could cost him some time next year, too, with the recovery from the procedure expected to take up to nine months.FOSTERS YEAR: Running back Arian Foster rebounded from a back injury and surgery that caused him to miss the last eight games of 2013. Foster produced his fourth career 1,000-yard rushing season. He finished sixth in the NFL with 1,246 yards rushing despite missing three games with hamstring injuries.LESSONS LEARNED: OBrien, who joined the Texans after two seasons at Penn State, learned a lot in his first season as an NFL head coach. Hes looking for much more from himself in Year 2.The improvement starts with me, he said. I told our team: There is a lot more out there and it starts with the head coach.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Bruins Jerseys Wholesale Sabres Jerseys Red Wings Jerseys From China Wholesale Canadiens Jerseys Wholesale Lightning Jerseys Cheap Maple Leafs Jerseys Discount Hurricanes Jerseys Blue Jackets Jerseys Outlet Adidas Devils Jerseys Cheap Islanders Jerseys Rangers Jerseys From China Discount Flyers Jerseys Discount Penguins Jerseys Discount Capitals Jerseys Wholesale Blackhawks Jerseys Cheap Avalanche Jerseys Cheap Team USA Hockey Jerseys Cheap Stars Jerseys Wholesale Wild Jerseys Discount Predators Jerseys Discount Blues Jerseys Discount Ducks Jerseys Adidas Coyotes Jerseys Flames Jerseys Outlet Wholesale Oilers Jerseys Discount Sharks Jerseys Cheap Canucks Jerseys Golden Knights Jerseys Outlet Authentic NHL Winter Classic Jerseys ' ' '
