Kim, who entered the day one shot ahead of Azahara Munoz, finished 36 holes at 10-under-par 134 at Club de Golf Mexico. Kim has not won on tour since taking home the Tournament of Champions title back in 2005. Paula Creamer was the biggest threat to Kim on Friday as she held the lead by herself at one point. Creamer finished the day with a 7-under 65 and she is alone in second at 9-under 135. Suzann Pettersen also had a strong day, shooting a 6-under 66 and jumping into a tie for third place with Pornanong Phatlum (68), 17-year-old LPGA Rookie of the Year Lydia Ko (69) and Munoz (71). World No. 1 Inbee Park is alone in 10th at 4-under 140 after a 70 on Friday, while world No. 2 Stacy Lewis (70) is tied for 27th at 2-over 146. Defending champion Lexi Thompson (72) is eight shots back at minus-2 and she is tied for 14th with four others. After going bogey free on day one, Kim tripped to a couple bogeys on Friday, but she was able to hold on to her lead. Kim started her day on fire, however, as she drained three birdies on her first four holes on one, two and four. Following a pair of pars on five and six, Kim dropped two shots in three holes with bogeys on seven and nine, putting her at 8-under as she made the turn. Kim was able to put her game in cruise control on the back nine. Following a trio of pars from 10, Kim made her fourth gain on the par-4 13th. Another pair of pars on 14 and 15 preceded Kims fifth and final birdie of the day on 16, which broke a tie with Creamer atop the leaderboard. Kim finished up with two pars to remain in the lead after 36 holes. Yesterday I was lucky enough to have two eagles so that immediately made the score a lot better. And I had no bogeys yesterday, Kim said. Today I had two bogeys. Its just difficult when youre in the lead and theres such a fantastic field and everyones coming after you. Its been a while since Ive been in this position. And just trying to get back into it. Just enjoying myself. Creamer finished day one with a 2-under 70, but she made up for it with a very strong day on Friday. Creamer also began her day well with three birdies in her first four holes on one, three and four, getting her well into red numbers early. Following three straight pars from five, Creamer rolled in her fourth gain on the par-4 eighth before closing out the front nine with a par on nine. It was more of the same on the back side for Creamer. After another par on 10, Creamer made three more birdies in four holes on 11, 13 and 14. The birdie on 14 gave Creamer a lead at 9-under before Kim later made a gain on 13 to tie. Creamer ended her round strong with four straight pars to end one shot behind the leader after Kims final birdie on 16. I just have a lot of confidence, Creamer said about her putting. Im really, my routine and what I do when Im over the ball is the same every time. Its more about speed instead of thinking about my stroke or thinking about this. I know that its solid and weve been working really hard on that. Its more of a confidence and seeing the ball go in the hole.

Jones took a beating, the worst one of his record reign, in a bout against Alexander Gustafsson that knocked the light heavyweight champion on the canvas for the first time in his career and put his belt in jeopardy.BUFFALO, N.Y. -- If USA Hockey needed a reminder of how well Ryan Miller can play, the Buffalo Sabres goalie provided one. Playing three days before the U.S. Olympic hockey roster will be released, Miller made 49 saves to lead the Sabres to a 2-1 win over the Washington Capitals in a six-round shootout on Sunday night. "Olympics or not, hes going to play like that no matter what," said Drew Stafford, who scored the Sabres regulation goal. "If Im picking the team, hes my guy, but Im a little biased on that end." Miller stood out as the Sabres were outshot 50-17. He stopped 12 shots from Alex Ovechkin before the shootout and then stopped him and five others in the tiebreaker. "That was worth the price of admission to watch goaltending like that," Sabres coach Ted Nolan said. "Very rarely do we get to see it live, and tonight he was sensational." Steve Ott scored the lone shootout goal as the Sabres improved to 5-0-1 in their last six home games after starting 3-12-1 there. Philipp Grubauer made 16 saves for Washington, and Troy Brouwer scored the Capitals only goal. Buffalo is 4-1-2 in its last seven games. "It feels good when they stay out and you get a win like that," Miller said. "Its nice." Washington controlled the majority of the play, registering 15 shots in the first three periods before adding five in overtime. "We made the right decisions with the puck, and the power play was working today, but we didnt score," Ovechkin said. "(Miller) was on top of his game and he carried them into the shootout and onto victory." Capitals coach Adam Oates had a hard time faulting his team after its dominant performance that didnt produce a win. "I cant really complain," Oates said. "Theres games that your goalie steals games for you, and I kind of look at that one as a game that their goalie did for them." Washington had the first 12 shots, and with 13:52 gone, Miller stopped Eric Fehr from point-blank range to keep the Capitals off the board. Buffalo finally put a shot on Grubauer with 4:23 left in the first. Matt DAgosttinis odd-angle snap shot was met with a loud cheer from the home crowd.dddddddddddd Grubauer said the lack of action didnt bother him. "Its OK," Grubauer said. "Youve got to face it shot by shot, and not look at different outcomes or how much time goes by. You just see it as a little break." Ott took a cross checking penalty 5:53 into the game, but Washingtons NHL-best power play couldnt take advantage. Miller made a shoulder save on a deflection by Mikhail Grabovski. The Capitals had a 15-3 shots edge in the first period. Grubauer stopped Grabovski and then foiled Matt Moulson with a left pad save in the crease off the ensuing faceoff. Capitals forward Tom Wilson laid a heavy hit on Ville Leino late in the second period, and Marcus Foligno challenged him to a fight. Foligno was given an instigator penalty and 10-minute misconduct, putting Washingtons power play back on the ice. Despite being outshot 30-10, Buffalo took a 1-0 lead when Stafford tapped in Christian Ehrhoffs rebound with 1:42 left in the second. "Christians shot was an easy little wrister, and those are the ones that find their way through," Stafford said. Grubauer made a glove save on DAgostini moments later to keep the Capitals deficit at one goal. Washington tied it off a giveaway by Ott 5:34 into the third period. Brouwers slap shot beat Miller over the right shoulder. "Ott tried to backhand the puck, and it just slipped off the backhand of his stick," Nolan said. "When he makes a mistake its not because hes not trying. It was a bad bounce for us." Miller returned to form over the next few minutes, including three successive saves from a prone position. "Hes the best goalie in the league, and I dont say that lightly by any means," Ott said. "The team didnt steal the game, Ryan Miller stole that game for us."
