EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France -- South Korean teen Hyo-Joo Kim made history look easy, with barely a glitch as she posted the lowest score ever in a major with a 10-under 61 to open the Evian Championship on Thursday. Mario Hezonja Jersey . To boot, the first round of her major debut achieved perfect symmetry, with five birdies each on the front and back nine. "I made a chance (for) a birdie on every (hole)," she said. "I missed some (but) it didnt matter." If she didnt sound fussed about the 61, its because she did it last year on Japans JLPGA circuit. "My goal is to have a good experience here. Thats all," said the 19-year-old Kim, who was in the first year of a physical education course at Seoul University. Her good experience exceeded the previous best score in a major of 62, by Minea Blomqvist of Finland in the third round of the 2004 British Open -- also when she was 19 -- and Lorena Ochoa in the first round of the 2006 Kraft Nabisco Championship. In a mens major, 63 is the lowest, and it has been achieved multiple times. "I like a hard course," Kim said. "I felt very comfortable today." Blomqvist and Ochoa might still be holding their record if not for Kims remarkable escape on the third hole, when she went into the bunker off the tee and still got a birdie. "She had a few up and downs and a chip-in on the third, par four ... after she shot a little bit left," her caddie Gordon Rowan said. "She had a very difficult chip." "Shes not a massive hitter but has a very decent length, and keeps up with the girls. Shes so straight and this is a course where you need to hit fairways because the rough is very thick. Her accuracy into the greens means that shes never far away. She also has a very good temperament, and even on days when shes fighting and putts dont fall, she keeps going." Kim is ranked 20th in the world, and leads the Korean LPGA money list with three wins. She takes a four-shot lead over veteran Karrie Webb into the second round of the last major of the year. Korean Mi-Jung Hur was five behind Kim in third after a round of 66, while defending champion Suzann Pettersen of Norway and Brittany Lincicome of the U.S. were six behind. Inbee Park, bidding for back-to-back majors after defending her title at the LPGA Championship, was tied for 12th at 2 under. Meanwhile, Michelle Wies bid for a second major ended early as she retired after just 13 holes, clearly still feeling the effects of a recent finger injury. Wie had two double bogeys and was 5 over when she pulled out. The U.S. Womens Open champion was returning after five weeks out and missing four tournaments following a stress reaction in her right index finger. She wore blue strapping around her hand. "I had hoped it was a week later but I just really wanted to come to France. I really love this tournament," she said. "The doctors told me Its all up to you. But they did tell me if it did hurt to stop right away because it could get worse. "I should have stopped earlier but I was having so much fun out there." Wie believed she should be able to play next month, in Asia. The 39-year-old Webb had eight birdies but was undone by two bogeys. The last of Webbs seven majors was at the Kraft Nabisco in 2006, the year she won at Evian. "Probably the best I putted for a long time. Switched to an old putter I used about 12 years ago," the Australian said. "I changed swing coaches in the middle of the season, so Ive actually probably put more work in through the summer than I normally would. The changes are starting to click." Arron Afflalo Jersey . With the union re-formed, negotiations with owners will resume Friday on the remaining issues that would be in the collective bargaining agreement, according to a person familiar with the plans. D.J.

Kerry wants to answer your emails at cmonref@tsn.ca. Kerry, How does Alex Galchenyuk get called for tripping Carl Hagelin in the neutral zone in the second period? Where was the official watching this from? Looked like Hagelin took a dive over Galchenyuks foot! Martin,Peterborough, ON Martin: Carl Hagelin did not deliberately take a dive or embellish his fall in an attempt to draw a penalty as he picked up a loose puck on a turnover at the red line. Hagelin made a sweeping cut turn as he attempted to reverse his direction toward the Montreal zone and in doing so both of his skates made independent contact with the left skate blade of Alex Galchenyuk. Hagelins lose of balance, forward momentum and attempt to advance the puck as he was falling contributed to an impression some might hold that the Rangers player took a dive. In the eyes of one referee it was deemed a trip and resulted in a power play goal. Referee Dan OHalloran trailed the play out of the Montreal end zone on the players bench side after Andrei Markov flipped the puck into the neutral zone. When the skate contact between Hagelin and Galchenyuk occurred, OHalloran was approximately mid to three quarters toward the Habs blue line and looking directly into and through neutral zone player traffic. From this location the referee would not have been able to draw an angle on the play and erroneously determined that Galchenyuk had committed a tripping infraction. Hindsight is, as they say, 20/20 and you can be certain that the referee wishes he had not perceived the play as he did. This play demonstrates the magnitude and potential consequence that a penalty call can have on a game and possibly even a series. Hockey is an extremely fast paced game. We know that officials, players and coaches make mistakes. In an effort to minimize errors in judgment the official needs to find the very best location in advance to judge a play; to find that perfect "replay angle" in real time whenever humanly possible. Bismack Biyombo Jersey. I have often referenced an officials positioning in answer to your questions. One aspect of officiating that I havent written about much (and probably more important than having your feet in the right place) is for the official to have his head in the right place to avoid overreacting or being fooled on a play. It is crucial that every official sustain a rock-solid level of concentration throughout the game; especially as he deals with self-imposed pressure and excessive amounts of pressure exerted upon him externally. We often hear broadcasters refer to a high level of "energy or intensity" that is displayed by a player or team. A referee observes the game as it is being played in the moment; but more importantly, he must "think" the game with an "intensity of focus and concentration" that doesnt allow for any distractions to adversely affect his judgment. The referees perception of a play becomes his reality. He must silence the crowd in his head by letting the noise pass through his ears as a meaningless background effect. The ref must also move on from confrontations with players and coaches to keep his mental awareness where it belongs. To accomplish this task, an internal running dialogue or play-by-play commentary can be implemented by the referee to remain focused. (I often implemented this procedure to intensify my focus and concentration.) An official that sustains a state of intense concentration is much less likely to overreact or misread a play. A referee that is dialed into the zone can better differentiate between legitimate fouls and allowable contact in all locations on the ice. Finally, there cant be any guess work at this time of the season. If a ref is not 100 per cent sure a foul was committed, he should never raise his arm.
