the season went south and Oakland struggled to an 8-8 finish.

• energy," she said. "Its tricky to read the greens out here. You can hit good putts and not make them. But I stayed positive and two awesome shots on 18. Im very happy with that finish." Should Lang win the tournament, shell be the first of 16 Duke University Blue Devils -- a dynasty in womens collegiate golf -- that played on the LPGA tour to have a victory. "That still blows my mind every time I hear it," said Lang. "It would be so cool. I mean, I like to represent my family and my hometown as well, but to do that, that would be amazing." Of course, Seo will have something to say about that. Last seasons Rolex rookie of the year kept pace with Lang after the two were tied for second place at the end of the second round. "It was a great day," Seo said. "I was trying to be patient because I make mistakes. I tried to bounce back and it worked. It was a little bad luck on the 18th hole (a par); its OK." Seo said she is focused on one thing tomorrow. "I dont know how many are behind me, but always a win," said Seo. "I have a few opportunities to win but I lost every time, so if I have a chance to win, I want to." Seo admitted that she was checking out the leaderboard today to see what she had to do to catch up. "Yeah, Im always watching scores," she said with a laugh. Swedens Anna Nordqvist bounced back from a 1-over par 72 in the second round to score 4 under in the third round to take sole possession of fourth place at 10 under par. Americans Sandra Changkija and Nicole Hage -- who also eagled the 18th hole -- as well as Swedens Karin Sjidin and Chinas Shanshan Feng are tied for fifth at 9 under. Five players sit tied for ninth at 8 under, including Americans Stacy Lewis and Lexi Thompson. Leading the five Canadians that made the cut was Quebecs Maude-Aimee Leblanc. The tall, Sherbrooke native shot a third round of 3 under to move to 4-under par for the tournament and into a tie for 26th place. "I struggled a little bit at the beginning, Leblanc said. "I dont know, I just didnt feel comfortable with my driver. I made a bad double on No. 7 that threw me off a bit, but I made a few birdies on the back. Overall, it was a good round. "Ill just go to the range and hit a few drivers, and get my driver good for tomorrow." If Leblanc can get that club working, she can have her best finish of the season. Shes been on a bit of a hot streak recently, finishing in the top 40 in her last two tournaments and she credits that success to her new swing coach Jim McLean. She knows what shell have to do to move up the leaderboard. "Its a pretty easy course," Leblanc said. "Theres a lot of birdie opportunities out there and I just have to take advantage of them." Other Canadians in the field are Isabelle Beisiegel of Mont-Saint-Hilaire, Que., and Hamiltons Alena Sharp tied for 60th at 1 over, Torontos Rebecca Lee-Bentham tied for 67th at 3 over and Charlottetowns Lorie Kane in 76th at 5 over.

Latos pitched a two-hitter to win his career-best seventh straight decision, beating San Francisco for the second time in as many outings this season to lead the Cincinnati Reds to a 2-1 victory Saturday. Jerseys China Cheap . The Crimson Tide were second in the preseason rankings, not far behind USC, and Saturdays season-opening results were apparently enough to sway some voters.Last year, Denver, Oakland and San Diego all won eight games and Kansas City won seven. Normally you would say that makes the AFC West a wide open division, but with Peyton Manning now playing in Denver, you have to think the Broncos have the greatest opportunity for fast improvement. Next you would think Kansas City has a chance to jump with their best running back, tight end and safety all back from injury. But will age catch up to Manning? Can Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel work his motivational magic again? Will Dennis Allen of the Raiders be the next Mike Tomlin? Will Philip Rivers regain his efficiency? There are a lot of questions in the AFC West still to be answered. Denver Broncos: I wonder if Peyton Manning signed in Denver because it was the best team out there with the best chance to take him to a Super Bowl. Some would say San Francisco was a better bet, but the Niners are an NFC team and Manning apparently wanted to stay in the AFC. I think he looked at John Fox and realized he has already taken a team to a Super Bowl (Carolina). Then he looked at Von Miiler and Elvis Dumervil and saw them as newer versions of Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney. Also, Ryan Clady and Orlando Franklin are good offensive tackles, just like Tarrik Glenn and Ryann Diem were back in their prime with the Colts. Even the altitude in Denver is an advantage when it comes to throwing deep. So if Manning wants to win and win with an AFC team, Denver may truly have been his best choice. He has played there before and knows that its challenges as a visitor – which will now be his advantages as the home quarterback. The key for Denver is to find or develop a new Edgerrin James or Joseph Addai within the offence to help Manning. Is it present with Willis McGahee? Manning may be the best play-action passer in football, but he must have a solid running back to make it work. In a way it all makes sense. Denver fans will embrace Manning . Over 41,000 showed up for an in-stadium practice. That is PRACTICE, not a game. Practice! In one move the Broncos have gone from having the worst QB in the division to having the best. It has to make a difference. Denver will win the AFC West. Kansas City Chiefs: If you take three of a teams top players out of the line-up from game one on, that team will likely have a poor season. That is what happened to the Chiefs last year as they lost TE Tony Moeaki, SS Eric Berry and RB Jamaal Charles at running back by the end of Week 1. The C dopped their first three games, but they did recover to finish 7-9. After a poor season, the pressure will be on QB Matt Cassel to get back to the form he showed in 2010. Last year the Chiefs were 31st in scoring offense, and failed to top 20 points in 12 of 16 games. The most interesting player to watch could be RB Payton Hillis, the former Cleveland Brown. At 62" and 250 pounds he is a fullback with halfback speed and elusiveness. If his attitude is right, he is a great compliment to the extremely explosive Jamaal Charles and Dexter McCluster. Hillis has the potential to be the next Mike Allstott in this offence. Defensively the Chiefs have strength down the middle. First round pick Dontari Poe is amazingly quick despite topping 350 pounds. Linebacker Derrick Johnson is a first round pick from seven years ago and Eric Berry at strong safety was a number one pick two years ago. If all three live up to their physical potential, the Chiefs can compete with any NFL offense - including the one in Denver. Crennel is 26-41 in the regular season as a head coach, which is not very impressive. But I always think of how Bill Belicheck struggled as a first time head coach in
