SYLVANIA, Ohio -- Lydia Ko shot a 5-under 66 in windy conditions Friday for a share of the Marathon Classic lead with Hyo Joo Kim.The top-ranked Ko had six birdies and one bogey at Highland Meadows to match Kim at 8-under 134. Kim, tied for the first-round lead with Mirim Lee and Haru Nomura, had a 68.I think this is the windiest Ive ever played this course, said Ko, the 2014 tournament winner. In this wind and in the conditions, I feel like my score is a pretty solid one this morning.Ko won in consecutive weeks in Southern California this year, the second the major ANA Inspiration. The 19-year-old New Zealander tied for third last week in the U.S. Womens Open in California.I started off well with a birdie on my first hole, and then made a clumsy bogey on the next hole, Ko said. I hit a few good shots in. I had a few birdies where it was 3, 4, 5 feet. When you got those birdie chances makes it a whole lot easier.Kim won the season-opening event in the Bahamas for her third career title.Yesterday was way better, Kim said through a translator. Still today, I played great.Alison Lee and Ha Na Jang were a stroke back. Alison Lee birdied the last three holes for a 66.Finishing birdie, birdie, birdie was great, obviously, Alison Lee said. I havent had a good round like this in a while. To be honest, I struggled fairly a lot for the past like about four months. Feels great to shoot under par again.Jang shot 67. She has two victories this season.I think just be patient every hole, just fairway and the greens, Jang said. Because this golf course really small green. Just target is middle of the green.Mirim Lee had a 70 to drop into a tie for fifth at 6 under. Ariya Jutanugarn, the long-hitting Thai player who won three straight events in May, also was 6 under after a 69.Nomura was 5 under after a 71. Stacy Lewis matched her after a 68.Brittany Lang, coming off a playoff victory over Anna Nordqvist on Sunday in the U.S. Womens Open, shot a 69 to reach 3 under. Nordqvist was even par after a 72.Italys Virginia Elena Carta, the NCAA champion this year as a Duke freshman, was 2 under after a 69 in her first start in an LPGA Tour event.Second-ranked Brooke Henderson also was 2 under after a 72. The Canadian teen has two victories this year, beating Ko in a playoff in the major KPMG Womens PGA and successfully defending a title in Oregon.Defending champion Chella Choi missed the cut with rounds of 69 and 74. Last year, she beat Jang with a par on the first hole of a playoff for her first LPGA Tour victory.Michelle Wie also dropped out, following her opening 69 with a 77. Puma Womens Shoes White .

Opposing sides of a contract dispute between the UFC and former welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre continued to dig their heels in Tuesday.Earlier this week, St-Pierre, 35, publicly stated he had terminated his contract with the UFC, effectively making him a highly coveted free agent. Hours later, the UFC responded that St-Pierre remains under an exclusive contract.Attorneys representing St-Pierre told ESPN on Tuesday their stance remains the same, despite the UFCs response. Jim Quinn of New York firm Weil, Gotshal and Manges said the fighter is able to terminate his deal because the UFC breached contract by not offering him a fight.Our position is the contract is terminated, Quinn said. I suppose they could take legal steps against that or they could offer a new contract. They have a variety of options on their side.St-Pierre (25-2) vacated the UFC welterweight title and walked away from professional fighting in 2013, but entered negotiations in February for a comeback fight in the UFC.The Canadian stars contract, which was signed in 2011, presented several complications. For instance, the last time St-Pierre fought, the UFC did not have an exclusive apparel provider. In 2014, the promotion signed such a deal with Reebok, which creates a conflict with St-Pierres independent apparel sponsors.St-Pierre said those complications were in the process of being resolved, until the UFC announced it had sold to new owners WME-IMG for $4 billion in July. It was at that time, St-Pierre enlisted attorneys at Weil, Gotshal and Manges.According to attorney Eric Hochstadt, St-Pierre has never received an actual bout agreement in 2016. The firm eventually set a 10-day deadline for the UFC to offer St-Pierre a fight. The UFC did not rrespond to the deadline until the final day, according to St-Pierres side, with a letter that referenced a potential bout against former welterweight champion Robbie Lawler.ddddddddddddawler recently withdrew from a scheduled fight on Nov. 12 in New York.The UFC waited until the 11th-and-a-half hour to come back with bare bones information, that floated one fighter and nothing else, Hochstadt said. No specifics at all in terms of fight date, venue, number of rounds. All we got, at the 11th hour, was a proposal for somebody. And as Georges said, we dont know if [Lawler is] ready and able to fight. All we know is he just pulled out of a fight.We were working through all the issues in play and had been squaring them away. One of them, no surprise, was the UFC has a Reebok deal that came in long after Georges contract. We were working through those things, but ultimately, youve got to schedule a fight for your fighter. The UFC knows how to schedule fights. This is what they do every day. Send a bout agreement with all the specifics. They didnt do that here. Why they chose not to do that, I dont know.During his interview on The MMA Hour on Monday, St-Pierre said he intended to take some time away from the stressful situation and did not reveal his next move.Despite recent comments from UFC president Dana White suggesting the opposite, St-Pierre says he absolutely wishes to fight again.Georges wants to fight, Quinn said. Hes not ruling out the UFC. He just believes, at this stage, they had long enough under the old contract. Now hell either fight for the UFC or somewhere else, but hes going to fight.
