UNC wont match last years total of 11 regular-season wins

PORTLAND, Ore. -- The Cambia Portland Classic has had a little bit of just about everything as the LPGAs longest-running non-major, but in its 45-year history hasnt seen a teenage winner quite like Brooke Henderson.The 18-year-old Canadian became Portlands first back-to-back champion in 13 years when Henderson shot a final round 1-under 71 to win by four strokes over American Stacy Lewis at Columbia Edgewater Country Club.The second-ranked Henderson posted a 14-under 274 for 72 holes, though it was a far different grind than her performance in 2015, when she won the Portland Classic by a record-setting eight strokes.Hendersons final two rounds became a collection of par saves after hitting many wayward drives and approach shots.I didnt really play my best today, but I hit good shots when I needed to, and I got some good breaks, Henderson said. A weird day of golf. I hit some really good shots and some really bad shots.Henderson became the first back-to-back winner at Portland since Annika Sorenstam won consecutive tournaments in 2002 and 2003. The 18-year-old is the first wire-to-wire winner at Portland since the tournament went to a 72-hole event in 2013.Henderson is the tours second wire-to-wire winner this year, joining Ha Na Jang, who won the Coates Championship in February.It was Hendersons third career win, all coming in the Northwest. Aside from her two Portland victories, Henderson won the Womens PGA Championship at Sahalee in Sammamish, Washington, three weeks ago.The three wins came in different fashion. Last years Portland win was a runaway, and at Sahalee, Henderson caught fire during the final round to rally past top-ranked Lydia Ko.Its cool to think Ive won in three different ways, Henderson said.Henderson heads to this weeks U.S. Womens Open at CordeValle in San Martin, California, having won two of her past four tournaments, including a major.Coming off a win here is really going to give me a lot of confidence, Henderson said.Lewis was 10-under after a final round 69, though she never genuinely threatened. Lewis is winless in 53 starts since taking the North Texas LPGA Shootout in June 2014 for her 11th tour victory. She has 11 runner-up finishes during the drought and 24 overall.Norways Suzann Pettersen, the 2011 and 2013 Portland champion finished third at 9-under after a 72.Austin Ernst, who won Portland in 2014, was 8-under after a 73. But Hendersons main opponent was Mariajo Uribe, who was tied for the lead with seven holes remaining but finished with two double bogeys. Uribe was 8-under after a 75.The whole week I didnt hit the ball great, and it I just couldnt do it the last couple holes, said Uribe, winless in six years on the LPGA Tour.Sunday turned into a two-player race early on the back nine, when Uribe birdied the par-4, 337-yard 11th to tie Henderson for the lead at 14-under.But Henderson quickly resumed control at the par-5, 546-yard 12th. Uribe hit a poor drive and made bogey, while Henderson dropped a three-foot birdie putt to take a two-shot lead.The lead melted to one at 13, when Hendersons tee shot at the 160-yard par-3 went into the bunker and she made bogey. Uribe fell two strokes back at the par-4, 372-yard 15th with a bogey.The par-4, 397-yard 17th became the tournaments decisive hole. Henderson and Uribe both drove into a bunker, then blasted their approach shots over the green. But Uribe hit her third shot 50 feet past the hole and made double bogey, while Henderson was able to get up and down to save par, making an eight-foot putt.Henderson said it was advantage to have Uribe hit her chip shot first, as both players were over the green and facing testing downhill shots.I was lucky. She was in the same situation ... I realized how fast it was and how delicate of a shot it needed to be, Henderson said.Lewis never got closer than three strokes, and might have put some pressure on Henderson but made bogeys at 16 and 18.Christina Kim posted the low score of the day with a 66 to finish 7-under, as did Lee-Anne Pace, Lee Lopez and Cheyenne Woods. Pace shot 68, while Woods had a 72 for her first career top 10. Lopez, an LPGA rookie, shot 73.Lewis never got closer than three strokes, and might have put some pressure on Henderson but made bogeys at 16 and 18.Sakura Yokomine (69), Vicky Hurst (71) and Carlota Cignada (73) were eight shots back at 6-under. In-Kyung Kim shot 69 to head a group of five at 5-under.American Morgan Pressel was 2-under after posting her best round of the week, a 67. Pedro Borbon Jr. Jersey Braves .

No. 23 Iowa | No. 25 San Diego State | Top 25No. 24: North CarolinaLast Season: 11-3?(8-0 ACC Coastal)Under defensive coordinator Gene Chizik, the Tar Heels defense had the biggest improvement in the Power 5 last year, going from 39.0 points allowed per game to just 24.5. UNC returns seven starters on both offense and defense, most notably RB Elijah Hood (1,463 yards and 17 touchdowns), and four players from my second-best offensive line. Mitch Trubisky steps in at quarterback after completing 40 of 47 passes last season in limited time. UNC wont match last years total of 11 regular-season wins, but it could be favored in as many as nine games.North Carolinas chances to win each game 09.03 vs. Georgia (Georgia Dome): 38.1% 09.10 @ Illinois: 82.4% 09.17 vs. James Madison: 97.6% 09.24 vs. Pitt: 64.3% 10.01 @ Florida State: 14.3% 10.08 vs. Virginia Tech: 74.8% 10.15 @ Miami: 50.6% 10.22 @ Virginia: 78.1% 11.05 vs. Georgia Tech: 82.6% 11.10 @ Duke: 72.4% 11.19 vs. The Citadel: 98.0% 11.25 vs. NC State: 76.6%It has been six years since a Coastal Division champion as repeated, and the Tar Heels face a more difficult schedule this year, having to ttravel to Florida State.dddddddddddd Still, the defense is expected to be better, and the offense remains in good hands despite the quarterback change. Anything less than 9-3 will be considered a disappointment. -- Andrea AdelsonThe schedule is tougher, but the defense should be better. And the offense is simply loaded relative to the rest of the Coastal. A 10-2 campaign and repeat trip to Charlotte for the league title game is on the horizon for these rising Heels. -- Matt FortunaMitch Trubisky should pick up right where Marquise Williams left off as the Tar Heels QB, and if the defense takes a step forward in Year 2 under Gene Chizik, theres no reason North Carolina cant finish 10-2 and a Coastal Division title again in 2016. -- David M. HaleThe rush defense might not be much better, but the offense has the potential to score from anywhere on the field and mask defensive deficiencies. A 10-2 regular season will have them as repeat Coastal champions. ?-- Jared ShankerNo. 23 Iowa | No. 25 San Diego State | Top 25 ' ' '
