Lee wins second national girls title

Evans' Alina Lee won her second national junior girls title this month, taking Thursday's Independent Insurance Agent Junior Classic in Ardmore, Okla., by four shots.

The 14-year-old Lee, a student at the International Golf Academy in Evans, also won the Women's Western Golf Association Junior Championship in Fishers, Ind.

"Winning two national titles when I hadn't won any before is so big for me," Lee said after closing with 5-over-par 76 on Thursday at Domick Hills Country Club.

Lee, who moved to Evans from Florida in June, opened with 76-74-74 and led by four shots over Michelle Grilli of Lutherville, Md., entering the final round. Grilli also shot a final round 76 to finish four back.

In the boys division, Allen Koon of Bamberg, S.C., finished in second place, five shots behind Ji Ho Moon of Ellicott City, Md. Moon shot 70-69-71-70-280; Koon had 72-73-70-70-285.

Green was tied for second place, one shot off the lead after 36 holes (75-68).

He now trails leader Sam Saunders by five shots entering today's final round at Bay Hill Club & Lodge. Saunders, who has shot 70-72-72, has a two-shot lead over two players.

Greenbrier receiver out with hand injury

The most highly recruited player in Columbia County will be sidelined for up to eight weeks after breaking two bones in his hand.

Greenbrier receiver Eugene Rogers broke the metacarpal bone on his ring finger and the knuckle of his middle finger on his right hand during practice Wednesday.

Rogers found out about the break after visiting the doctor on Thursday. Doctors told Rogers he might be able to return as soon as four weeks, but it could be closer to eight.

"I'm not upset," said Rogers, who was still selected as a team captain Thursday afternoon. "I am going to stay focused. I can ride the stationary bike every day during practice and stay ready. I'll be back. There's no doubt about that."

Tennis

Agassi knocked out of Masters Canada

In Toronto, Andre Agassi was upset by Jurgen Melzer of Austria 6-3, 6-3, Thursday in the second round of the Tennis Masters Canada tournament, a blow for the eight-time Grand Slam champion's U.S. Open preparations.

Agassi, 34, won this hard-court event three times and isn't sure whether he'll be back for another edition. The tournament won't return to the city until 2006.

Also Thursday, top-ranked Roger Federer topped Robin Soderling, 7-5, 6-1. Defending champion Andy Roddick defeated Feliciano Lopez, 6-4, 7-6 (5), and was to play again later Thursday at the rain-delayed tournament.

New Jersey deals Kittles to Clippers

In Newark, N.J., Kerry Kittles was traded to the Los Angeles Clippers for a future second-round draft pick, breaking up a successful backcourt pairing with All-Star Jason Kidd.

Kittles became the second starter to leave the Nets this month. All-Star forward Kenyon Martin was sent to the Denver Nuggets for three future first-round draft choices two weeks ago.

To try and fill the void left by Kittles, who spent eight years with the Nets, the club signed free-agent guards Jacque Vaughn and Rodney Buford.

Peeler, who led the NBA in 3-point shooting percentage last season as a backup with Sacramento, declined to exercise his contract option with the Kings and became a free agent July 1.
