Aug 27, 2016

Pretty Pieces, an online retail store, goes teal for ovarian cancer awareness month. They are supporting the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund Alliance with donations and running a giveaway for women with ovarian cancer.

Florida, United States - August 27, 2016 /PressCable/ —

For the entire month of September, online retailer, Pretty Pieces, is supporting Ovarian Cancer Awareness by going teal. The support will include donations to the OCRFA (Ovarian Cancer Research Fund Alliance), and a giveaway for women suffering from hair loss due to chemotherapy treatments for ovarian cancer. The winner will receive a full hair replacement unit courtesy of Pretty Pieces.

According to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund Alliance, “A woman’s lifetime risk of developing invasive ovarian cancer is 1 in 75; A woman’s lifetime risk of dying from invasive ovarian cancer is 1 in 100”. Nicole Banks, the owner of the online retail store, happens to be among the 1 out of 75 women that suffer from ovarian cancer, and she has decided to support other women like her in the fight against this devastating disease.

Nicole Banks was diagnosed of ovarian cancer 10 years ago at the age of 29, and this was the primary cause of her infertility problems, according to her. Her story is one of survival and provides great courage and encouragement to women in the same situation as her. Her blog contains more information about her and how she has managed to live a normal and fruitful life since the onset of the disease.

Aside from supporting the OCRFA, Nicole Banks will also assist in raising awareness of the disease through the launch of her Real Pretty Real Teal clothing collection. A portion of the proceeds from this new clothing collection will be donated to the OCFRA. As a result, it’s not just a one-off donation – the donations will continue for as long as the clothing collection keeps selling, and that could be forever.

Women interested in the giveaway can contact Pretty Pieces through their website to join the list of potential winners.

Wide-open ICTSI Iloilo Challenge set for thrilling finish

MANILA, Philippines – With two of the last three Philippine Golf Tour legs decided by one stroke and the other by two, the ICTSI Iloilo Golf Challenge is shaping up for another tense and unpredictable finish when the P2.5-million championship gets going Tuesday (Sept. 29) at the Iloilo Golf and Country Club in Iloilo. And if the depth of the field is any indication, identifying a clear favorite could prove as difficult as winning the title itself. A different champion could emerge yet again, adding another layer of intrigue to the seventh leg of the 10-stage circuit organized by Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc. The field brings together proven champions, seasoned campaigners and a crop of young contenders eager to disrupt the established order, making the outcome virtually impossible to call. The former Santa Barbara layout should provide a fitting stage for the battle, with hazards at every corner and a premium placed on precision and judgment from one hole to the next. At the par-70 course, where a single mistake can quickly erase a hard-earned advantage, one quality figures to be crucial throughout the four-day championship: course management. Each player, meanwhile, arrives with a different mission. Angelo Que is chasing a third victory of the season after ruling the Caliraya Springs and Summit Point legs. The veteran has already shown his ability to close out tournaments, but the depth of the Iloilo field leaves little room for complacency. “I’m just out here to have fun since, you know, I like this golf course. It’s a thinking course. At least nakapagpahinga ako nang kaunti. Nakauwi ako and then I rested before coming here, so hopefully I’m not as tired as I was last week,” said Que, the Summit Point leg winner who was still finding his form after a stint in Taiwan and finished tied for 12th in Negros Occidental last week. Art Arbole, on the other hand, returns with momentum and renewed belief after finally ending a 14-year wait for a championship. He led, stumbled and recovered to capture last week’s Negros Occidental Classic, holding off a host of veteran rivals before edging Jeffren Lumbo by one stroke. Zanieboy Gialon also has a special reason to feel confident on a course where he produced one of his most impressive victories. Two years ago, he turned what had been billed as a final-round shootout into a runaway six-shot triumph over Que and Ira Alido. After finishing fourth in Negros, Gialon now hopes to end a two-year winless stretch and reclaim the title at the country’s oldest golf course. Former Order of Merit winner Jhonnel Ababa, meanwhile, is seeking redemption after his late collapse in Negros. Ababa shared the first-round lead with Arbole, remained just one stroke behind after the next two rounds and then surged ahead early in the final round. But a costly backside meltdown, coupled with Arbole’s late charge, allowed the latter to regain control. Arbole eventually held his nerve to frustrate Lumbo, who was seeking a second career crown after outlasting Russell Bautista on the fifth extra hole in last year’s South Pacific Classic. But the list of players capable of breaking through does not end there. Clyde Mondilla, Tony Lascuña, Reymon Jaraula, Rupert Zaragosa, Jay Bayron and Guido van der Valk – all multi-titled campaigners still looking for their first victory of the season – add even more uncertainty to an already crowded title picture. “Medyo masikip talaga dito. Walang power advantage, at hindi talaga puwedeng atakihin ang greens. So, you have to play the position. Sa second shot, kailangan nasa harap ka lang palagi. Makapal din ang rough, kaya kailangan diretso ang palo mo off the tee,” said Mondilla. Asian Tour mainstay Justin Quiban also takes advantage of a break on the region’s premier circuit due to the Asian Games competitions in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan. He further strengthens the field while seeking his second PGT victory of the year after winning the season-opening Lakewood Championship in come-from-behind fashion last March. Then there are the hungry contenders – Dino Villanueva, Elee Bisera and Nilo Salahog – along with young guns Gab Manotoc, Ryan Monsalve, Kristoffer Arevalo, Leandro Bagtas, Josh Jorge and Jonas Magcalayo, plus Fil-Ams Ivan Yabut and Jeremy Tandoy. Any one of them could alter the complexion of the championship with one strong round. A slew of foreign bidders further complicates the equation, led by Kim Tae Soo, Lee Song, Miki Ryoma, Jisung Cheon, Hyun Jin Youn and Kim Tae Won. With so many players possessing the game and experience to contend – and with the recent legs decided by razor-thin margins – the Iloilo Championship could once again come down to the final few holes, or even the final shot. The only certainty heading into Tuesday’s opening round is that there are plenty of players capable of winning. And that could make for four days of relentless jostling for position, with the leaderboard likely to change hands repeatedly before the next champion is finally crowned. TMT

Americans rally in singles to win the Presidents Cup for the 11th straight time

Americans rally in singles to win the Presidents Cup for the 11th straight time

MEDINAH, Ill. — The deficit was larger than anything the Americans had ever experienced at home in the Presidents Cup. The celebration Sunday afternoon? That was all too familiar, even the part where President Donald Trump stuck around for the trophy presentation. The U.S. players — from world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler to 21-year-old rookie Jackson Koivun — passed the gold cup down the line, which was only fitting. Everyone had a hand in the latest comeback at Medinah, where the Americans delivered the most lopsided singles session in Presidents Cup history. They won nine of the 12 matches and halved the other for a 17-13 victory, their 11th in a row against the hard-luck Internationals. U.S. captain Brandt Snedeker went from blaming himself for the three-point deficit to choking back emotions as his team set the tone early and rode momentum and a raucous Chicago gallery late that left them believing again they can succeed in team golf. The real proof comes a year from now in Ireland for the Ryder Cup. For now, the Americans redeemed themselves in a competition they have lost only once since these matches began in 1994. "Is it a record in singles? That doesn't happen unless you have a special group of guys, and we do," Snedeker said. "I'm really proud of how they came together." It was a crushing blow to Geoff Ogilvy and his International team, which outplayed the Americans in team matches over three days, taking the lead for only the fourth time in the Presidents Cup, and the first time on American soil. Five matches were on the course — the U.S. were 1-up in three, the other two were halved — and the Internationals need to find three points to win the cup. The Americans simply didn't budge. "It just felt like it was sort of right on a knife edge for a massive part of the day," Ogilvy said. "If you hole a couple of putts at the right time and get a bit more yellow on the board at the right time, the momentum, and the crowd sort of stays out of it a little bit. "Just sort of started drifting away for us in the last few hours." The Americans, outplayed down the stretch all week on the No. 3 course at Medinah and Ogilvy's architecture company redesign, flipped two key matches on the back nine. Collin Morikawa beat Hideki Matsuyama, and Koivun went from 2 down after 10 holes to a 2-up victory over Si Woo Kim. Trump, the honorary chairman of the Presidents Cup, was on the first tee for the start of the 12 singles matches and was there for the trophy presentation, as he was at Liberty National in 2017 during his first term. That was an American blowout. This one was tight, and yet it still felt inevitable, nothing like the Ryder Cup at Medinah in 2012 when Europe rallied from a 10-6 deficit to win on the road. The Americans rallied behind endless and boisterous cheers, some of which went a little too far. Someone yelled in the backswing of Nico Echavarria, causing him to drop the driver as his ball sailed to the right. Scheffler barked at the fan, and after missing a birdie putt, he conceded a 30-foot par to the Colombian in a show of sportsmanship. Scheffler went on to win. So did Cameron Young and Justin Thomas and Chris Gotterup in the early part of the lineup as the deficit shrunk and soon turned into another comfortable victory. "I told the guys last night that funny stuff happens here. Medinah has a history of funny things happening," said Snedeker, who was on that losing Ryder Cup team in 2012. "Sure enough, they went out and played their (tails) off today. I'm so damn proud of those guys." That group included Koivun, who just over a year ago was on the winning Walker Cup team for amateurs. Just four months ago, he helped Auburn to an NCAA golf title. And there he was Sunday, turning a loss into a point and hitting clutch shots at the end. Koivun was 2 down through 10 holes to the Kim when he won three straight holes to flip the color to American red on the board. The kid drilled his tee shot on the 18th, and twirled his iron when he knew the approach was pure. He wound up with a 2-up victory, and then it was a matter of time. "The kid is special. He's different," Snedeker said. "You saw that for a 21-year-old kid to stand up there and hit those last two balls like he did. Not many people like that." The clinching point came from Jacob Bridgeman, another Presidents Cup rookie. Patrick Cantlay had another moment, as he always seem to do in these events, holing a birdie putt from just inside 60 feet on the par-3 16th against Adam Scott, who now has played 12 times in this competition without ever being on the winning side. "Look, it's a very difficult thing to beat the U.S. in singles in the U.S.," Ogilvy said. "They're great players, and the crowd came out for them. They get a bit of red on the board, and the noise gets loud. They started the day with a lot to do and they all played great." All the Internationals can do is regroup and try again at Kingston Heath in Australia is two years. Their only victory was at Royal Melbourne in 1998, and there was a tie in South Africa in 2003.

Trump's golf tour takes him back to the Presidents Cup

Trump's golf tour takes him back to the Presidents Cup

MEDINAH, Ill. — President Donald Trump returned to the Presidents Cup as honorary chairman for the second time, getting a loud cheer and keeping his remarks brief. "These people want to see golf," he said Sunday. And just like his last visit to the Presidents Cup in 2017, he saw the Americans win. They rallied with the best performance on the final day in tournament history. "Our team played unbelievable golf. They went in with a massive deficit, and they came out with a tremendous victory, just a great comeback," Trump told reporters when he landed back at Joint Base Andrews outside of Washington. His visit to Medinah Country Club in suburban Chicago marked the fourth time Trump has gone to a golf tournament this year. He arrived early and participated in the closing ceremony, helping with the presentation of the trophy to the winning U.S. team. Security was tight. The Secret Service would not let spectators cross from one side of the first fairway to the other except for when Trump took a break from greeting players to go inside a suite. Trump also was honorary chairman at the 2017 Presidents Cup during his first term. He showed up at Liberty National, across the Hudson River from Manhattan, toward the end of the competition when the Americans were assured of winning. He posed with U.S. players during the trophy presentation. This time, he arrived before the start of the 12 singles matches in the final session. Flanked by PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp, Trump greeted players and caddies on both teams. In between player introductions, he watched the action on the videoboard at No. 1. Scottie Scheffler, the No. 1 player in the world and among several golfers who have played with Trump, patted the president's shoulder as he walked onto the tee. U.S. captain Brandt Snedeker also visited the president a couple of times. "He told me I was going to bring some energy today for you guys, you guys need it, and I told him if we did this, he gets all the credit," Snedeker said after the U.S. closed out the victory. "Thank you, President Trump." Trump signed three hats for fans, and he responded to sections of the crowd clamoring for his attention by pointing, waving and offering a thumbs-up. When a fan yelled "We love you Donnie!" right before Chris Gotterup's tee shot, Trump waved discreetly. He congratulated both teams during the closing ceremony. He also posed for photos and handed out challenge coins to Team USA and their significant others. Trump was introduced by Rolapp at the beginning of the session, prompting Trump to remark "the fake news media will say I got a very bad reception." The president spoke briefly, noting that Rolapp had asked him to make a short speech. "I said, 'No, I don't have the courage to make a speech. These people want to see golf. They don't want to hear speeches,'" Trump said. "I'll only say this: Our country is doing great, better than ever before." Unlike regular golf tournaments, the first tee is boisterous with a flag-waving crowd and music at the Presidents Cup and the Ryder Cup, which Trump attended last year at Bethpage Black on Long Island in New York. The Americans lost the Ryder Cup to Europe, but they rallied past the International team for their 11th consecutive Presidents Cup win. Before the horseshoe-shaped grandstand was filled, the loudest buzz was Air Force One flying over Medinah, louder than any of the commercial airlines that have been flying over the course every 70 seconds throughout the week during descent to O'Hare International Airport. "They were nice enough to name me chairman or honorary chairman, so it's an honor. It's a very big event, one of the biggest events in golf by far," Trump told reporters Sunday morning as he left the White House. "You have the Ryder Cup, and you have the Presidents Cup, and this is a big one, and so it's a great honor. So, I'm going there." It's a traditional role offered to leaders of every country where the tournament is played. The Presidents Cup began in 1994 to include international players from non-European countries who were not eligible for the more famed Ryder Cup. The name of the tournament comes from including the head of state of the host country as honorary chairman. Then-Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was part of the trophy presentation at the last Presidents Cup in 2024 at Royal Montreal. President Bill Clinton was in office in 2000 when he attended for one round at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Virginia. The first time Trump attended in 2017, the start of the week was the biggest display of presidents when Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama sat together on the first tee for the opening round. Trump this year was at the Cadillac Championship at his Trump National Doral near Miami in early May. He also attended the LIV Golf event at his Trump National Bedminster course in New Jersey in August. Earlier this month he attended the Irish Open at his course in Doonbeg, Ireland.

Fifa Asean Cup: Hong Kong on brink of final as midfielder stars on return from exile

Vladica Grujic said Hong Kong played “a completely different level of football” from his Laos side, after the world No 186 ranked team were thumped 4-0 in the Fifa Asean Cup on Sunday. Sun Ming-him and Everton Camargo, brilliantly, netted in the opening half, before Dudu’s 55th-minute header defeated the flimsy defences of Souksamone Vethita, and Matt Orr emphatically converted a stoppage-time penalty. Unsurprisingly, Laos did not prove a hot ticket, although the 18,873 fans inside Kai Tak...
