SAN MARTIN, Calif. -- Lydia Ko has got all the shots, on and off the course, from curling in putts to cutting up with reporters, delivered with an ease that belies her age.As the 19-year-old was being interviewed Saturday following the third round of the U.S. Womens Open at CordeValle, a journalist asked Ko about her routine to prepare for pressure-packed Sundays.I go partying, Ko said, partying all night and come straight to the course.The joke drew laughs like her game attracts raves, although Ko would have to start doing stand-up for her humor to wow at the same level as her golf.Having won two of the past three womens major championships, Ko is in excellent position to make it three out of four. The worlds top-ranked player shot a 2-under 70 to take a 1-stroke lead over Eun Hee Ji, who won the 2009 U.S. Womens Open, and Sung Hyun Park, at 7-under 209 after 54 holes.Everyone will be chasing Ko, who already has caught most of her sports significant records for success at an early age and is poised, if she closes out a victory in the womens games oldest major, to collect two others.Appreciating all of Kos achievements can feel like being a kid with too many toys under a Christmas tree.Ko won an LPGA event at 15, became the No. 1 player in the world at 17 and, when she won the 2015 Evian Championship, surpassed Morgan Pressel as the youngest winner of a womens major. Thirty-seven LPGA events have been won by teenagers, with Ko accounting for 13. The next-best teen record belongs to Lexi Thompson with four wins.If Ko (19 years, 2 months, 16 days) wins Sunday, she will break Inbee Parks mark as the youngest winner of the U.S. Womens Open by nine months. She would become the youngest golfer to win a third major, eclipsing Tom Morris Jr., who was slightly more than two months older than Ko when he won the 1870 Open Championship.Ko is a rare comet of a golfer, but Saturday night was going to be oh, so ordinary.The best thing is to not get out of your routines, Ko said. It doesnt matter if its the first day or the last day or the third day or an extra day. I love my sleep, so I know that Ill have a good nights sleep. But nothing different. Nothing special to eat. I want my moms cooking, and thats it.Kos putting, usually a strong suit, has lived up to its reputation the past two days at CordeValle. She has needed only 25 putts in each of the second and third rounds. A Friday 66 allowed Ko to cut into a 9-shot deficit she had to Mirim Lee after a first-round 73, and being handy on the greens kept her under par Saturday.In particular, three long putts -- hard-breaking 25-footers for birdie on Nos. 3 and 13, and a par save of similar length on No. 14 -- were pivotal.I wasnt expecting that one to go in, Ko said of the birdie effort at the 13th, which she thought she had misread. I was walking a little bit and then I saw the ball drop, so it kind of took me by surprise. It was a lucky one. But I almost think my par on 14 was the more meaningful of the two.Ko did a minor fist pump after sinking the putts at the 13th and 14th. Demonstrative is normally not her style, but looks can be deceiving.I look a lot calmer than what goes on in the inside, Ko said. I definitely do get nervous, but I think thats part of it. I think nerves are good because it means youre excited. Youre ready. It means a lot to you.As three-time Masters champion Jimmy Demaret once said, the key is to have the butterflies flying in formation.I guarantee Lydia feels the same things we do, said Brittany Lang, whose third-round 68 moved her into a tie for fourth, 2 strokes behind Ko. She does a better job controlling them. She gets back to what shes doing, and she executes. Its impressive. Shes the master of it, its unreal.The last time Ko had the 54-hole lead at a major, last months KPMG Womens PGA Championship at Sahalee Country Club near Seattle, she went out on Sunday and shot 67 and still lost -- to fellow teenager Brooke Henderson in a playoff after the Canadian closed with a 65.I thought there were so many positives, from that final round at Sahalee, Ko said. All I can do is try my best. If somebody plays better than me, I cant do much about it. That was a perfect example of that. Brooke played so impressively on that Sunday. And for her to win the playoff with a birdie, I think that just kind of summed up her day.Ko missed a short birdie putt on the 71st hole at the Womens PGA, a putt that would have salted away a third straight major title. But even the greatest champions dont make everything, and they tend to dwell on their successes, not their failures.Although not yet 20, Ko has a stunning reservoir of grace under pressure going back to childhood. When Ko was only 11 she faced an older opponent in the final of the New Zealand Womens Amateur. Ko didnt win the match but left an indelible impression on those who watched with her cool, which has become such a trademark during her precocious career.Confidence is an earned commodity, Fox golf analyst Paul Azinger noted during Saturdays broadcast, and shes earned it through achievement.Hard work, more than most could imagine, has brought Ko to this point, not that there arent some occasional diversions. In fact, on vacation in her native South Korea last December, Ko did stay up almost all night attending with her sister and friends a Psy concert. The Gangnam Style performers show didnt start until midnight.The concert started at 12 and ended at 2, and there was an encore that went for an hour, Ko said. I ended up coming home at 5 a.m. My throat was a little weird the next day, and I dont think Ive sweated that much in my life. I had a seat but there was no point in having one because you were jumping up and down the whole time. I had a good time.The atmosphere at CordeValle on Sunday will be a bit different, but fun is fun. Orange Air Max 2018 .

After Mondays hard-fought loss, the wait seemed longer than usual. Getting set to go their separate ways for a short Christmas break, the Raptors coach credited his team for their effort on a seemingly impossible three-game road trip, urging them to build on that success when they get back to work at the end of the week. RENTON, Wash. -- In the future, Seattle coach Pete Carroll would prefer if Richard Sherman handled his frustrations in a way that did not result in an emotional eruption on the sideline in the middle of a game.Shermans shouting match with players and coaches became a teaching moment for the Seahawks on Monday, a day after Seattle rallied for a 26-24 win over Atlanta .Carroll spent most of his Monday availability talking about emotions, philosophy and what exactly transpired on Seattles sideline that became as much of a story as the Seahawks improving to 4-1.What I told the guys today was theres going to always be things that happen and were going to learn if we can from the experiences that we have and those that we draw from and get smarter and more aware, were going to get better, Carroll said. It wound up being an extraordinary positive for our team that we could hang through the rigors and the challenges against a terrific team and find a way to win a football game.Shermans tirade happened after a blown coverage in Seattles secondary that allowed Julio Jones to run uncovered down the sideline for a 36-yard touchdown in the third quarter. Sherman was livid, screaming at anyone within earshot on the sideline and getting in the face of anyone who tried to calm him down. Earl Thomas, Michael Bennett, Kam Chancellor and Bobby Wagner all took turns trying to calm Sherman with little success.Carroll mostly stood back and watched how his players handled the situation.I thought it was a marvelous job of our guys showing who they are and their resolve to make sure they do what is right for our team, Carroll said. It was impressive.Carroll said it was miscommunication between Sherman and backup safety Kelcie McCary -- playing because Chancellor was injured -- that led to Jones being wide open. There were times last year when the Seahawks had communication issues in their secondary that led to uncovered receivers, but they never resulted in a public eruption like Shermans.What was clear, to me, was that Kam is a big factor, Carroll said. We dont see that stuff. I cant even remember a game whhere Kam was playing.dddddddddddd He has such a connection and the skill in communicating and all that. (Kelcie) couldnt have that. He hasnt played enough with our guys. Hes been there, but its not the same.Sherman was in the spotlight before the game started because of his expected matchup against Jones. Along with his tirade, Sherman was at the center of a controversial no-call on Atlantas final offensive play when Jones tried to pull in a deep pass from Matt Ryan. Sherman had a grip on Jones right arm as he attempted to catch the pass and Atlantas sideline screamed for a pass interference call.Carroll added that he does not see a drawback in players being so close to the edge emotionally.It gives us a chance to find out how good you can be as a group, he said. Without it, you can still do good, but you dont get familiar with that space and what that mentality is like. So its hard to not only get there but its hard to stay there. You have to get familiar with it and what it feels like to be totally immersed and committed and focused and maximizing. And then you have to do it again and again, so you have to understand it. Were trying to learn how to do that.Seattle received mixed news on two injuries.Bennett has a chance to play next week at Arizona after injuring his right knee on a cut block by Atlantas Jake Matthews. Bennett was incensed by the block, calling it unnecessary and using a few expletives to drive home his point.After reviewing the game film, Carroll didnt see any problems with the block.It was clean. Nobody wants to get hit in the legs, but it wasnt a dirty play or anything like that. It wasnt illegal, Carroll said.The news on Luke Willson wasnt as good. Carroll said Willson has cartilage damage and strained ligaments in his right knee that could require surgery. Willson was injured on Christine Michaels touchdown run in the fourth quarter that pulled Seattle within 24-23.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
