Louis Oosthuizen shot an 8-under 62 -- one shy of the course record -- to claim a share of the lead with English pair Oliver Wilson and Oliver Fisher and Thailand's Chawalit Plaphol after Friday's second round at the $2.5 million Hong Kong Open. The 26-year-old South African moved to a two-round total of 8-under 132 after sinking eight birdies with no bogeys in the European Tour and Asian Tour...

Tomohiro Kondo fired a 2-under 69 Friday to grab a one-stroke lead at the Dunlop Phoenix. Kondo bogeyed the par-4 second hole before recovering with birdies on Nos. 7, 8 and 11 for a 36-hole total of 5-under 137 at the par-71 Phoenix Country Club. Sweden's Henrik Stenson was a stroke back at 4-under 138 along with Thailand's Prayad Marksaeng, Spain's Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano and Japan's Michio...

Annika Sorenstam has enjoyed plenty of great rounds at Trump International, a course where she won three times in a four-year span earlier this decade. If she doesn't rekindle that magic Friday, her storied career could come to an abrupt end. Sorenstam shot a 2-over par 74 in Thursday's opening round of the ADT Championship, good for a tie for 23rd in the 32-woman event, her final LPGA Tour...

Kobe Bryant had a below-average game. He's got so much help on this Los Angeles Lakers team it didn't matter. Bryant scored 24 points, Vladimir Radmanovic made all five of his 3-pointers and a host of others made significant contributions to help the Lakers past the Phoenix Suns, 105-92 on Thursday night.

The Washington Capitals were missing a good chunk of their offensive firepower because of injuries, so the Los Angeles Kings were able to zone in on Alex Ovechkin. The Kings limited the reigning MVP to just five shots on net and one assist Thursday night in a 5-2 victory. They scored four goals while he was on the ice -- including empty-netters by Michal Handzus and Anze Kopitar in the final 40...

The Cincinnati Bengals failed to explain why Chad Ocho Cinco, the wide receiver formerly known as Chad Johnson, was held out for violating team rules during their 27-10 loss in Pittsburgh on Thursday night. The decision to bench Ocho Cinco was announced about 10 hours before kickoff and the Bengals said they would give more details after the game, but coach Marvin Lewis declined to discuss it.

The Detroit Red Wings pushed aside the Edmonton Oilers with another dominant power-play performance. Jiri Hudler scored two goals, the second on a power play, and Chris Osgood made 30 saves in Detroit's 4-3 victory over Edmonton on Thursday night. Pavel Datsyuk and Tomas Kopecky added power-play goals for Detroit, 6-0-1 in its last seven and 13-2-3 overall.

The Steelers honored defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau with a pregame ceremony for his 50 years as an NFL coach and player. His league-best defense found the best possible way to pay tribute to him. The Steelers limited the depleted Bengals to six first downs following an early touchdown drive and found just enough offense themselves amid the snow flurries to control the clock behind Ben...
