SHIMA, Japan -- Yuki Ichinose of Japan shot a 6-under 66 to finish in a three-way tie for the lead after the second round of the Mizuno Classic on Saturday. Ichinose carded seven birdies against a lone bogey at Kintetsu Kashikojima to finish at 8-under 136 with compatriots Mamiko Higa, who also shot a 66, and overnight leader Shiho Oyama (68). "My putting felt really comfortable before the round and that gave me the confidence to play strong today," said Ichinose, who earned her first JLPGA victory earlier this year. American Brittany Lincicome shot a 68 and is one stroke off the pace with Japans Ayako Fujimoto (67). Defending champion Stacy Lewis, who erased a seven-stroke deficit last year, shot a 68 and is tied for 10th at 139. The American is the highest-ranked player in the field at No. 3. South Korean star Inbee Park, who leads the money list and player of the year rankings, is sitting out the tournament. Lincicome nearly carded her first bogey of the day on the par-5 18th hole when she overshot the green on her third stroke. She pitched her fourth shot 12 feet past the hole, but drained the putt to save par. Lincicome will be bidding to end a two-year winless drought on Sunday. Her latest win came at the 2011 Canadian Womens Open where she was one-stroke off the lead heading into the final round and defeated Stacy Lewis by one-stroke. Taiwan native Teresa Lu, Japans Junko Omote and South Korean golfers Chella Choi and Eun-Bi Jang are tied for sixth place at 6 under. Clelin Ferrell Womens Jersey .ca.

Their defence is not delivering. Their coach is coming under criticism, too.No matter how ugly things look at the moment, general manager Phil Emery and coach Marc Trestman insist the Chicago Bears can turn around their season.It will take quite a shift.The Bears are 3-5 with a bye this week after brutal losses to Miami and New England, and they are fading fast in a season in which they were eyeing a run to the playoffs.Jay Cutler still is making questionable decisions at inopportune times. An offence that ranked among the best in franchise history in Trestmans first season has been a disappointment in Year 2. The rebuilt defence hasnt delivered the way the Bears hoped. Special teams are struggling, and Trestmans grip on the locker room is in question.Im not going to play self-defence here, Trestman said. But if you look at how the team has responded to adversity after Buffalo, into our next game against San Francisco, after (the loss at Carolina) into Atlanta, I think they have continued to respond for us, for themselves, as much as anything. Were on a two-game slide, theres no doubt about it. Were not comfortable with the way weve played. Coming out of Atlanta, we thought we were headed in the right direction.I think this team is strong internally, I think theyve got great heart, he continued. I think theyll come back ready to go on Monday.Exactly where are they going, though?The Bears are staggering after dropping four of five. They are 0-3 at home and in danger of missing the playoffs for the seventh time in eight years. Its not like the schedule is taking an easier turn, either.When they come back, they will be staring at Aaron Rodgers and the Packers in Green Bay. After that, they will still have two games left against Detroit and one each against Dallas and New Orleans.The past two games were nothing short of abysmal. As if falling to Miami at Soldier Field, with Brandon Marshall yelling in the locker room afterward, wasnt bad enough, Chicago got rolled by Tom Brady and the Patriots 51-23 at New England last week.The Bears have shown some resolve, bouncing back from a season-opening loss to Buffalo by beating San Francisco and the New York Jets on the road. They also won at Atlanta before this slide, but its not just the losses that are alarming. There are big questions about the teams leadership and mindset.Whether it was Lance Briggs missing practice to open a barbecue restaurant near his hometown of Sacramento, California, in the week leading up to the opener, or Marshall yelling in the locker room after the Dolphins game, the cracks were already hard to ignore.dddddddddddd.LaMarr Houston added another one in the closing minutes against New England when he celebrated a sack against a backup quarterback. One of the Bears top off-season acquisitions, he ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.If Trestman was angry about Marshalls blowup or Houstons celebration, he didnt show it in public.I think Marc is fully in control of this team, chairman George McCaskey told Comcast SportsNet Chicago. Just because a player isnt called out publicly doesnt mean the issue isnt being addressed. The players know that Marcs got their back, and anything that needs to be addressed with a player will be done behind closed doors.What has played out on the field hasnt been pretty.Five-time Pro Bowl defensive end Jared Allen has just 1 1-2 sacks after signing a four-year deal that guaranteed $15.5 million. His string of seven straight seasons in double digits with Kansas City and Minnesota is in jeopardy.Marshall has been slowed by an ankle injury after signing a three-year extension. Cutler still is committing head-scratching turnovers, whether hes throwing across his body for an interception against Buffalo or attempting a two-handed chest pass that resulted in a fumble against New England.Emery acknowledged concerns about Cutlers fundamentals and decisions dating to his days at Vanderbilt. He says some of that was brought on by a lack of talent surrounding him. But the past two years, hes been working with an offence-minded head coach, two Pro Bowl receivers in Marshall and Alshon Jeffery, a productive tight end (Martellus Bennett) and a solid line.Have I seen improvement in the last two years? Emery said. Yes, I have. Because I know where we were at two years ago, and I know how many sacks he took, how much pressure and hits that he played through, and how he tried to overcome that group that was in front of him and how he tried to compensate. I think hes bought all the way in in terms of heres whats important, heres the concepts that were trying to accomplish.We still have some time to go, we still have some things we have to clean up.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' '
