• ATLANTA -- The Braves have exercised options on catcher Brian McCann, right-hander Tim Hudson and left-hander Paul Maholm. Bart Starr Jersey . McCann, a six-time All-Star, will earn $12 million next season instead of receiving a $500,000 buyout. McCann had surgery after the season to repair the labrum in his right shoulder that could force him to miss the start of the season. He is expected to return to light baseball activities in about four months and could receive full clearance in April. McCann hit a career-low .230 with 20 homers. The 37-year-old Hudson will earn $9 million instead of getting a $1 million buyout. He was 16-7 with a 3.62 ERA. Maholm, 30, will earn $6.5 million rather than receiving a $500,000 buyout. Atlanta acquired Maholm from the Cubs on July 30, and the left-hander was 13-11 with a 3.67 ERA. A.J. Hawk Jersey . Although Canada boasts a healthy roster comprised of its top players and the South Africans have been depleted by injury, the home favourite isnt taking anything for granted with a spot in the World Group at stake starting Friday. Aaron Rodgers Womens Jersey . A day after a demoralizing defeat, the Baltimore Orioles won a test of wills and Game 4 of the AL division series, bouncing back to outlast the New York Yankees 2-1 in 13 innings Thursday night on J. http://www.packersofficialteamstore.com/autographed-clay-matthews-jersey-sz-29.html . Bolt was scheduled to run the 200 metres at the Monaco Diamond League meet on July 20 but pulled out to have treatment ahead of the London Games. Despite the withdrawal, Bolt said Thursday he would be in London to defend his titles. Dave Robinson Jersey . Maybe James Harrison too. Still, Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin thinks the two veteran defenders are hardly the cure-all for a defence that lacked a certain bite during Sundays season-opening loss at Denver. Jarrett Bush Jersey . The Hollywood division of pro football.SYLVANIA, Ohio - For the lead groups, the final round of the Jamie Farr Toledo Classic will be just like a friendly round back home in South Korea. Oh, and give the winner a check for $195,000. South Koreans Jiyai Shin, Kim, So Yeon Ryu and Hee Kyung Seo dominated the leaderboard, sharing the top spot at 11-under 202 on Saturday through the third round. Two more South Koreans, Inbee Park (69) and second-round leader Chella Choi (70), were a shot back along with Japans Mika Miyazato (69). Call them the Seoul sisters. "It will be really exciting Sunday," said Kim, who will be chasing her fourth career LPGA Tour victory. "These are players that I grew up with. I know them personally and I know their family issues and all that. So, even though were playing in the U.S., having them around I feel much more at home." South Koreans have not only flooded (43 of them on the roster this year) but also dominated the LPGA Tour in recent years. Still, they have seldom taken over a tournament like the one at Highland Meadows. In addition to filling the top four spots and six of the top seven, South Korea was represented by players occupying seven of the top 11 positions and 11 of the top 25 through 54 holes. Even though they are extremely competitive, dont expect any gamesmanship. "There are a lot of Korean players on tour," said Shin, who has won eight times in LPGA events since 2008, including victories in the 2010 U.S. Womens Open and the 2008 Womens British Open. "We are very close because we came over to play in the U.S. We were homesick, missing our friends and family in Korea. And that has made us close to each other." Shin and Kim each shot 5-under 66 for the low rounds of the day, while Ryu had a 67 and Seo a 68. The range in scores of the four leaders is a high of 69 to a low of 66. In other words, almost the perfect definition of consistency. Ryu acknowledged that, then added, "Sometimes someone is crazy and has a low score — like a 61 or 62." Its not really surprising that the Souuth Korean contingent is elbowing everyone else out of the picture at the Jamie Farr. Packers Jersey. After all, the player who is the matriarch of her countrys players on the LPGA Tour — Se Ri Pak — has won the Farr five times. And three other players from South Korea — Mi Hyun Kim, Eunjung Yi and Na Yeon Choi — also have finished first in suburban Toledo. In fact, since Pak won her first Farr in 1998, South Koreans have walked off with the title eight of the 13 years. Shin was perhaps the brightest star on the LPGA landscape but has not won in two years due to injuries. "Its as if Im on my way," she said after her 66. "I have a little bit of pressure on myself." Kim, who has three career LPGA Tour wins, lost to Choi in a four-person playoff at the Farr the last time it was played in 2010 (the tournament was on hiatus a year ago while the city hosted the mens U.S. Senior Open). "Im in a great place, not only on the golf course," she said. "Im happy on and off the course. Thats really important." Seo was the tours rookie of the year in 2011. She took a stab at making a humorous remark at the awards ceremony. "Everybody wants to be No. 1," she said. "I just mentioned that Ill be No. 1 very soon." Tied for eighth at 8-under 205 were Americans Jacqui Concolino (69) and Angela Stanford (69), along with first-round leader Pernilla Lindberg of Sweden (70) and yet another South Korean, Hee-Won Han (70). Needless to say, all eyes will be on the intrasquad scrimmage atop the leaderboard between the longtime friends, neighbours and countrywomen. "We pretty much help each other," said Ryu, who defeated Seo in a three-hole playoff at the 2011 U.S. Womens Open to earn her first and only tour victory. "If some Koreans have a winning chance, everybody will be waiting on the 18th green and everybody will congratulate the winner. Our relationship is pretty great." ___ Follow Rusty Miller on Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/rustymillerap ' ' '
