GUADALAJARA, Mexico -- Swedens Anna Nordqvist and South Koreas So Yeon Ryu each birdied the final hole for a share of the second-round lead with Thailands Pornanong Phatlum on Friday in the Lorena Ochoa Invitational Nordqvist and Ryu shot 5-under 67 to match Phatlum at 9-under 135 at Guadalajara Country Club. Andrew Whitworth Bengals Jersey . Nordqvist and Ryu played in the same group. "Im always really happy to play with Anna," Ryu said. "We have so much fun always, so I love it. We pretty much played so well, especially on the back-nine. We hit a really great shot and she made every birdie putt. I was really excited to see her, to see how she is playing." Nordqvist is winless on the tour since the 2009 LPGA Tour Championship. "Were only halfway through and, obviously, the best golfers in the world are here so you cant really think about winning or leading the tournament right know," Nordqvist said. "We have two more days, so you have to try to play your game and put low scores out there." Phatlum, the first-round leader in the 36-player event, had a 69. "Im very happy with my score, but the putting not very good," Phatlum said. "I just missed a few short putts." South Koreas Inbee Park was a stroke back along with Americans Lexi Thompson and Gerina Piller. Thompson had a 64 for the best round the first two days. Piller shot 65, and Park had a 68. The 18-year-old Thompson won the LPGA Malaysia last month for her second tour title. "I just went into today playing fearless and just committed to my lines," Thompson said. "I dropped a few more putts today, and that always helps." The top-ranked Park swept the first three major championships of the season and has three other LPGA Tour wins this season. Shes winless in eight starts since the U.S. Womens Open in late June. Second-ranked Suzann Pettersen and No. 3 Stacy Lewis were tied for ninth at 6 under. Pettersen had a 68. The Norwegian player is coming off a successful title defence in the LPGA Taiwan, her third victory in her last five starts and fourth of the season. Lewis shot a 66. Michelle Wie had a 73 to drop into a tie for 20th at 2 under. She won the 2009 tournament for the first of her two LPGA Tour victories. Defending champion Cristie Kerr was 27th at 2 over, following a 77 with a 67. Tournament host Lorena Ochoa won 27 LPGA Tour titles before retiring in 2010. "Its been great. I love Mexico," Piller said. "Most people dont know this, but my maiden name is Mendoza. I dont speak much Spanish, but I love the food, love the people and its just a great tournament. I never got to play with Lorena, but shes been a huge inspiration."

The Gunners are currently the second highest scorers in the league but Wenger insists Walcott will add something extra to his team.INDIANAPOLIS -- Lance Stephenson savors each opportunity he gets to beat up on his hometown teams -- especially when the Pacers are winning. On Thursday night, Indianas flamboyant guard had a big night on national television. Stephenson had a career-high 28 points, four rebounds and four assists and led the Pacers to their second-most lopsided win of the season, 117-89 over the Knicks. "If hes flashy, hes being flashy making basketball coach," coach Frank Vogel said. "One of our assistants said, Boy, I wish I had Lances energy every day. His competitive spirit is as high as anyone weve coached." Stephenson has been playing this way all season. He leads the NBA with three triple-doubles, the most of any Pacers player since Detlef Schrempf in 1992-93. With any luck, hed have a couple of more, too. And after a nasty crossover or spectacular move to the basket, he might show off some of that New York flair by wiggling his hips. But the Nets and Knicks seem to bring out the best in the Brooklyn native. This time, on a night that may serve as an audition for the All-Star selectors, he showed the whole basketball world what he could do. Stephenson went 10 of 17 from the field, 5 of 5 from the free-throw line, 3 of 7 on 3-pointers and had no turnovers in 28 minutes. His previous scoring high (26) came Dec. 23 in a 103-86 win at Brooklyn, and before this season, Stephenson had scored 22 points just two times -- once against Chicago in April 2012; the other, of course, came at Madison Square Garden last spring. Even a former Indiana University basketball star like Mike Woodson, who was drilled in defence under Bob Knight, came away impressed. "Youve really got to tip your hat to him," the Knicks coach said. "We had no answers for him." That has been a league-wide problem for Pacers foes, and not just against Stephenson. Indiana won its third straight to maintain its grip on the NBAs best record, extend its Eastern Conference lead over Miami to four games and continue its claim to the leagues best home record, 20-1. The Pacers arent slowing down, either. They beat Washington by 27 on Friday, Sacramento by 24 on Tuesday and handed what was one of the leagues hottest teams its most embarrassing road loss of the season. For the most part, Indiana has relied on its staunch defence. Stephenson and Paul George havve suddenly given Indiana a devastating offensive punch, too. Nick Vigil Bengals Jersey. . George added 25 points and seven rebounds on a night six players scored in double figures. The Pacers produced season highs for total points and points in a half (63) for the second straight game, and they even heeded the advice of team president Larry Bird, by cutting down their turnovers to a season-low five. "We have set a goal, and we want to be the No. 1 seed (in the East)," Stephenson said. "Every night I try to bring something to the table." The Knicks just couldnt keep up. Carmelo Anthony finished with 28 points, nine in the first six minutes and 18 in the first quarter when it was still a game. Tyson Chandler had 13 points and nine rebounds, while Raymond Felton and J.R. Smith each had 12. Smith played nearly 28 minutes after being benched in two of the Knicks previous four games. "Theyre a good team, but I dont think theyre 30 points better than our team," Woodson said after the rematch of last springs conference semifinals, which Indiana also won. "We were awful." Things started well for New York as Anthony pushed them to a 16-8 lead. But the Pacers rallied with an 11-2 run to take a 28-26 lead. Anthony bailed out the Knicks with a buzzer-beating 3-pointer to make it 31-30 after one. Indiana seized control with an 11-1 spurt midway through the second quarter and pulled away late in the first half with a 16-7 run. That made it 63-48 at halftime. George opened the second half by scoring 10 points in a 15-8 spurt, which made it 78-56, and Stephenson closed it out as the Knicks couldnt get closer than 16 the rest of the way. "We understand how good we are when we run," George said. "I think thats the best way to put and the biggest way to look at it."
