""Obviously she's completely bummed

New world No.1 Ryu So-yeon of South Korea hopes to celebrate her achievement by winning her second consecutive major title at the Women's PGA Championship that begins Thursday.

The first round at Olympia Fields Country Club outside Chicago falls on Ryu's 27th birthday.

Ryu ascended to the top of the rankings [url=http://www.cheapjordanretrosstore.com/]Cheap Jordan Retro Shoes[/url] , dethroning Thailand's Ariya Jutanugarn, by winning last week's Northwest Arkansas Championship for her second title of the year.

She won the season's first major tournament, the ANA Inspiration at Rancho Mirage, in April for her second career major title after capturing the 2011 US Women's Open.

"I actually still cannot believe it," Ryu said. "I always dreamed about being No.1. Here I am [url=http://www.cheapjordanretrosstore.com/]Cheap Air Jordan Shoes[/url] , I've finally become No.1. Dreams come true. I'm living in a dream."

She's also the only player with more than one LPGA title this season.

"I'm really thrilled to have won twice already on the LPGA this year," Ryu said.

"Last week I got a lot of confidence to play this major -tournament ... I think this week it's really important to [hit] great iron shots and my iron shots have been really great. I feel pretty comfortable playing this golf course."

Among the elite field of 155 players - which includes the top 100 LPGA money winners this season - are 26 major winners who have won a combined 53 major titles.

Olympia Fields, a par-71 layout playing at 6,588 yards (6,024 meters) this week [url=http://www.cheapjordanretrosstore.com/]Cheap Jordan Shoes[/url] , boasts such past event winners as US men's legends Walter Hagen and Jack Nicklaus.

Defending champion Brooke Henderson of Canada became the second-youngest player to win a women's major by taking last year's crown at age 18.

Also in the hunt will be Jutanugarn, three-time champion Park In-bee of South Korea and world No.3 Lydia Ko of New Zealand.

Jutanugarn has won at Olympia Fields, taking the 2011 US Girls' Junior Championship.

Ko, still seeking her first victory of the season, says she is more concerned with finding consistency than retaking the world No.1 ranking.

This is the first of three women's major tournaments in a six-week span. The US Women's Open is in two weeks at Trump National in Bedminster [url=http://www.cheapjordanretrosstore.com/cheap-jordan-why-not-zer0-2-77-jw/]Cheap Jordan Why Not Zer0.2[/url] , New Jersey and the Women's British Open at Kingsbarns in Fife, Scotland, will be contested in early August.

Berlin, June 8 (Xinhua) -- The President of the German Federal Association of Employers (BDA) Ingo Kramer expressed hopes on Friday that the result of Thursday's British election would prompt London to take a more realistic approach to Brexit.

After attempting to capitalize on a strong lead in surveys, conservative British Prime Minister Theresa May suffered a humiliating night as she failed to secure an outright majority and the opposition Labour party recorded impressive gains.

May had focused her election pitch on the need to guarantee a "strong and stable" government capable of successfully delivering the "Hard Brexit" the conservative party wants to achieve by leaving the European Union as well as the European Single Market.

Her failure to secure sufficient votes to continue governing without a coalition partner [url=http://www.cheapjordanretrosstore.com/cheap-jordan-why-not-zer0-1-61-bw/]Cheap Jordan Why Not Zer0.1[/url] , resulting in a hung parliament, has been widely interpreted as a victory for proponents of a "Soft Brexit" wherein Britain maintains close economic ties to the European Union.

BDA President Kramer said that the British example showed that neither "nationalism and anti-EU rhetoric, nor left-wing social romanticism" were viable political strategies to win majorities.

MELBOURNE, Nov. 16 (Xinhua) -- Ronda Rousey, billed as mixed martial arts' 'unbeatable' champion [url=http://www.cheapjordanretrosstore.com/cheap-jordan-standard-64-dh/]Cheap Jordan Standard[/url] , remained in a Melbourne hospital on Monday after fellow American Holly Holm pulled off ""the biggest upset"" in the history of the sport at Ultimate Fighting Championship 193 on Sunday.

Rousey, UFC's biggest star, crashed and burned in her bantamweight title defense in front of a record 56,214 spectators at the Etihad Stadium in Melbourne on Sunday.

Early in the second round, Holm [url=http://www.cheapjordanretrosstore.com/cheap-jordan-spiz-ike-73-af/]Cheap Jordan Spiz'ike[/url] , a former professional boxer and kickboxer who made the switch to mixed martial arts (MMA) in 2011, swung a ferocious leg kick into Rousey's head, knocking the six-time defending champion to the floor.

Holm pounced on the motionless Rousey, throwing several punches before the referee called off the fight.

It was the first loss of Rousey's UFC career, and commentator Joe Rogan dubbed it the ""biggest upset in the history of MMA"" - a fair assessment given Rousey's pre-fight odds of 1.11 dollars - meaning punters earned 11 cents for every dollar they invested.

The 28-year-old [url=http://www.cheapjordanretrosstore.com/cheap-jordan-proto-max-720-36-ge/]Cheap Jordan Proto-Max 720[/url] , who had previously won 11 of 12 fights inside of the first minute, spent the night at an unnamed Melbourne hospital so doctors could monitor her for signs of concussion and head trauma.

""She was transported (to hospital) because she got knocked out,"" UFC boss Dana White said.

""Obviously she's completely bummed out and depressed.""

The event was declared a ""massive success"" by organizers, surpassing the previous attendance record set at UFC 129 at the Rogers Center in downtown Toronto, Canada [url=http://www.cheapjordanretrosstore.com/cheap-jordan-melo-15-41-oz/]Cheap Jordan Melo 1.5[/url] , in 2011.

Organizers moved quickly to announce the UFC would return to Australia in March next year, venturing further north to the Queensland city of Brisbane.

In the wake of the main event shock, the rank outsider Holm told reporters a.
