GOLD COAST, Australia -- Cheyenne Woods won the Australian Ladies Masters on Sunday for her first major professional tour victory, holding off 17-year-old Australian amateur Minjee Lee by two strokes. Paul Martin Jersey . The 23-year-old Woods, Tiger Woods niece, closed with a 4-under 69 at Royal Pines to finish at 16-under 276. Lee also shot 69 in the event sanctioned by the European and Australian tours. Woods birdied the par-5 15th to open a two-stroke lead, hitting a wedge from about 120 yards to 4 feet. On the par-5 18th, she matched Lee with a birdie, holing out from 1 1/2 feet. "This is a huge accomplishment for me," Woods said. "The European Tour has been great to be able to play this past year. Ive been able to see all of these great players, play with Solheim Cup members ... to be able to come out here and compete with them and come out on top was huge for me." From Phoenix, Woods is the daughter of Earl Woods Jr., Tiger Woods half brother. Woods turned professional in 2012 after an All-America career at Wake Forest and her only previous pro victory came in 2012 in a SunCoast mini-tour event. In December, she missed the cut in the LPGA Tours qualifying tournament in a failed bid to earn a spot on the circuit. "Ive been pro for two years and, for the majority of it, people just think of me as Tiger Woods niece, so now I have a game of my own and I have a title now, a win, which is exciting," she said. "Its nice now to say to people that I can play and Im not just a name. Growing up with the last name of Woods, theres a lot of expectations and pressure and spotlight on you but I always knew that I was able to win. I always knew Id be able to compete with these ladies, so now its kind of a weight off my shoulders because now everybody knows not just me." Woods earned $51,000 and a two-year exemption on the Ladies European Tour. She will play next week in the LPGA Tour-sanctioned Womens Australian Open in Victoria. South Africas Stacy Lee Bregman and Swedens Camilla Lennarth tied for third at 12 under. Bergman closed with a 72, and Lenmarth had a 70. Kevin Labanc Jersey . A top pitching prospect, one who the ball club is pinning some of its future hopes, takes the spot of a veteran who once was viewed as a future ace but who, to this point, hasnt realized his potential and may never. Justin Braun Jersey . Louis and Ryan Kesler have demanded to be traded. http://www.officialsharksnhlshop.com/martin-jones-jersey/ . Goodell said in an ESPN Radio interview Monday (http://es.pn/1gkbauy ) that participants played harder and made the game very competitive. Goodell says he had fun watching the game Sunday and thinks fans did, too.DETROIT - Rick Porcello can finally close the book on a rough September.As for the rest of the Detroit Tigers a they still have work to do after the AL Central race tightened again.Porcello allowed six runs in under four innings, and Detroit lost 11-4 to the Minnesota Twins on Friday night. The Tigers could have clinched the division with a victory and a Kansas City loss, but neither of those things happened, and now Detroit leads the Royals by only one game with two to play.Weve had two really tough stretches this year, and weve bounced back from them, Porcello said. This is one game. Were OK.Porcello allowed four earned runs and six hits in 3 2-3 innings. He is 0-4 with a 6.20 ERA in September, but with the Tigers heading to the post-season in some fashion next week, manager Brad Ausmus hopes his right-hander can bounce back. Porcello (15-13) has surpassed 200 innings this year for the first time in his career.Obviously, Im aware of where his innings are, but I dont think thats the issue, Ausmus said. If it were fatigue, Id expect to see a massive degradation in his performance, and we arent seeing anything like that. Hes just leaving a couple pitches in bad spots and teams are hitting the heck out of them.The Tigers fell way behind early. Oswaldo Arcia hit a two-run homer in the first, and Minnesota led 6-0 in the fourth.A.J. Achter (1-0) earned his first career win with a solid relief effort. The former Michigan State Spartan worked two innings, holding the Tigers without a run until he allowed Miguel Cabreras solo homer in the seventh.The Tigers are a team I grew up rooting for a I think thats pretty well known, said the 26-year-old Achter, who was born in Toledo, Ohio. I came to games here, at least one a year, growing up, so for it to happen here, its just another thing in my career thats been pretty unbelievable.The Tigers did get a scoreless inning of relief from Anibal Sanchez, who pitched for the first time since Aug. 8 after being out with a pectoral strain.Minnesota opened the scoring on Brian Doziers RBI single in the first, and Arcias home run made it 3-0. Dozier addded a solo homer in the third, his 22nd of the year. San Jose Sharks Jerseys. The Twins added a couple of unearned runs in the fourth when third baseman Nick Castellanos throwing error allowed Chris Herrmann and Aaron Hicks to score.Minnesota starter Anthony Swarzak allowed three runs and seven hits in 4 1-3 innings, and with the score 6-3 in the fifth, Achter came on with one out and men on first and second. Victor Martinez came within a few feet of tying the game with a drive down the line in right, but it was caught in front of the wall, and Achter got J.D Martinez on a flyout to end the inning.The Twins responded with four runs in the sixth.Dozier and Danny Santana had three hits each for the Twins, and Dozier and Arcia drove in three runs apiece.STILL CONFIDENTThe Tigers are trying for a fourth straight division title, and the Royals have pushed them to the final weekend of the season. Kansas City clinched at least a wild card Friday.Were still up a game, so the pressure is all on the Royals, Detroit outfielder Rajai Davis said. This is still in our hands.KEEPSAKEAchters father wasnt in attendance Friday because he had a high school football game to coach, but he gave a game ball to his mother.That was pretty emotional. She just beat breast cancer this off-season, Achter said. For her to be a part of this and to be here, its all around a pretty special moment.TRAINERS ROOMTwins: OF Jordan Schafer has a hyperextended right elbow. He was available to pinch-run but didnt play.Tigers: Sanchez was activated from the disabled list before Tuesdays game in Detroit, but he didnt pitch until Friday. He threw 14 pitches against the Twins, allowing only one hit a an infield single by Santana.Well see how I feel tomorrow and decide where to go from there, Sanchez said. I hope to pitch at least one more time before the playoffs, but Im not too concerned about it.UP NEXTDetroit LHP Kyle Lobstein (1-1) takes the mound against Minnesota RHP Ricky Nolasco (5-12) on Saturday night. Lobstein made his major league debut against the Twins last month, allowing three runs in 5 2-3 innings of relief.
