CASTELLDEFELS, Spain -- French cyclist Warren Barquil earned his first professional win in the 13th stage of the Spanish Vuelta on Friday, while
Vincenzo Nibali kept the overall lead before the race enters three straight days
in the mountains.

. Barquil sprinted away from a small breakaway group
over the final 200 hundred meters (yards) to claim the 169-kilometre (105-mile)
ride from Valls to Castelldefels on the Mediterranean coast in 4 hours, 13
seconds. Barquil is a former French junior champion and won the Tour de lAvenir
in 2012. He dedicated the win to his recently deceased grandfather. "I am very
happy for this victory, this is my first as a professional," said Barquil, who
rides for Argos-Shimano. The hilly ride in the northeastern region of Catalonia
didnt alter the top of the overall classification. Nibali maintained his
31-second lead over nearest chaser Nicolas Roche. Alejandro Valverde and
Christopher Horner were tied for third overall at 46 seconds behind, while
Joaquim Rodriguez was fifth at 2 minutes, 33 seconds off Nibalis pace. Nibali,
who is aiming to add to his Giro dItalia win from earlier this summer, appeared
to be almost fully recovered from a bee sting that had caused his face to swell.
On Saturday, the riders dispute the first of three stages in the Pyrenees with a
156-kilometre (97-mile) route starting at Baga and finishing in the principality
of Andorra. The 14th stage features a special-category climb and ends with a
first-category summit finish. Weather reports forecast the end to the sunny and
warm conditions riders have enjoyed so far. A drop in temperature and rain is
expected in the mountains. The three-week grand tour finishes in Madrid on Sept.

. -- Martin Kaymer never lost sight of opportunity even amid so much evidence of
trouble in the closing stretch Sunday at The Players Championship.RANCHO MIRAGE,
Calif. -- Shanshan Feng was alone in her opinion about the pin positions in the
Kraft Nabisco Championship. She was by herself atop the leaderboard, too. "The
pin positions werent that hard," the 24-year-old Chinese player said. Feng had
little trouble Thursday in perfect morning conditions at Mission Hills, shooting
a 6-under 66 to take a one-stroke lead over Michelle Wie and Se Ri Pak.
Defending champion Inbee Park voiced the majority opinion after an opening 74.
"The pin positions were very tough for the first day," Park said. "Half of the
pins, we couldnt go at. There were very tough pins out there." Cristie Kerr
agreed after her morning round in the first major of the year. "The pin on 3
today, it doesnt matter if you hit a pitching wedge, it would be hard to get to,
and were hitting 6- and 7- irons in," said Kerr, tied for sixth after a 69. "The
pin on 1 is like 2 yards from the right side of the green. ... Do they have to
be that severe? Maybe not, but theyre probably compensating for the fact that
theres not much rough." Feng had seven birdies and a bogey. "This morning, it
was playing easier because there was no wind," Feng said. Feng won the 2012 LPGA
Championship to become the tours first Chinese winner and had two victories late
last year. She tied for 16th last week in Carlsbad, her best finish of the
season. "The beginning of this year I was kind of a little lost because I lost a
little weight and my swing kind of changed a little," Feng said. "I wasnt
swinging very comfortably." Angel Yin, a 15-year-old high school freshman from
the Los Angeles suburb of Arcadia, was two strokes back at 68 with Amy Yang. Yin
was asked if there was a player she wanted to meet, but was too shy to approach.
"Michelle Wie," Yin said. "If she sat next to me and said Hi to me, Id probably
run." The 24-year-old Wie laughed when told about Yins response. "Its crazy,"
Wie said. "These girls are starting to make me feel really old." Wie played a
four-hole stretch in 5 under, showing off all the talent that made her a star in
her early teens and helped attract players like Yin to golf. "I just felt
comfortable out there," Wie said. Wie stalled at the end, llipping out a 3-foot
par putt on the par-3 17th and settling for par on the par-5 18th.

. "Ill take a 67 here," Wie said Wie birdied the par-5
ninth and par-4 10th, made a 25-foot eagle putt on the par-5 11th and moved into
a tie for the lead with a 15-foot birdie putt on the par-4 12th. She got
up-and-down for par from near a steep face in a bunker on the par-4 15th,
hitting to 1 1/2 feet with her left foot almost 2 feet above her right. "Just
was aggressive on the holes I needed to be and conservative on the other holes,"
Wie said Wie is making her 12th start in the tournament. She was ninth in 2003
at age 13, fourth the following year and tied for third at 16 in 2006. "I think
when youre younger youre kind of fearless," Wie said. "You dont know what
failure is." Wie has two LPGA Tour victories, winning the 2009 Lorena Ochoa
Invitational in Mexico and the 2010 Canadian Womens Open. She has been in the
top 16 in all five of her starts this year, finishing a season-best fourth in
Thailand. "Im so grateful to have rounds like these," Wie said. Paired with
58-year-old Hall of Famer Amy Alcott, Feng rebounded from a bogey on 15 with a
birdie on par-4 16th. "I made a bogey on 15, and she was like, OK, lets make two
birdies back in the last three holes," Feng said. "I was like, Yes, maam."
Alcott shot an 81 in her 36th start in the event she won in 1983, 1988 and 1991.
In 1988, she became the first player to take the now-traditional victory leap
into Poppies Pond. "She was very sweet starting off and we were talkative,"
Alcott said. "She hits it very solid. Just a very, very talented young player."
The 36-year-old won the last of her five major titles in 2006. "Just a solid
round," Pak said. "The greens got a little firmer, but I got pretty good
distance control." Anna Nordqvist, the winner in Carlsbad for her second victory
of the year, opened with a 71. Playing partner Stacy Lewis, the 2011 winner, had
a 73. Lewis struggled off the tee, hitting drives to the right. "If I can
straighten out my driver Ill be right there," Lewis said. Sixteen-year-old Lydia
Ko and Hall of Famer Karrie Webb, also a two-time winner this year, were in the
group at 73. Cheap NFL Jerseys
