VONN IS ENDING HER RETIREMENT

PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — Lindsey Vonn says she is coming out of retirement to rejoin the U.S. Ski Team in an attempt to race again at age 40. Thursday’s announcement comes more than six years after Vonn’s last Olympics. She is a three-time Olympic medalist, including a downhill gold and super-G bronze at the 2010 Vancouver Games, and a bronze in the downhill at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games.

She is also a four-time overall World Cup champion and owns eight world championships medals. Her 82 World Cup race victories stood as the record for a woman until that total was eclipsed by Mikaela Shiffrin.

HULL IS TIED FOR LEAD ON LPGA

BELLEAIR, Fla. (AP) — Charley Hull ended a two-year drought by winning in Saudi Arabia two weeks ago. Now she’s tied for the lead at 64 with Jiwon Jeon after one round of The Annika on the LPGA Tour.

Nelly Korda hasn’t played in nearly two months and she kept her form. Korda chipped in for birdie on the last hole. She birdied four of her last five holes for a 66.

Jeon made a hole-in-one on the third hole at Pelican Golf Club to go along with six birdies. This is the last LPGA event before the top 60 qualify for the season finale.

RORY McILROY TIED FOR LEAD

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Rory McIlroy is already an overwhelming favorite to win the European tour’s season-long Race to Dubai title and he has just made his chances even better. McIlroy shot 5-under 67 and was tied for the lead with Tyrrell Hatton after the first round of the season-ending World Tour Championship on Thursday.

A top-10 finish will guarantee McIlroy wins the year-long points race formerly known as the Order of Merit for the sixth time. That would leave him tied with the late Seve Ballesteros and two behind Colin Montgomerie’s record haul.

Thriston Lawrence is second in the standings behind McIlroy and is the only player who can catch the Northern Irishman. Lawrence opened with a 73.
